The young man stood amidst the fallen, the flames slowly dissipating as he resumed his calm demeanor.The burning marks on the necks of his foes were a testament to the lethality and precision of his technique.He looked down at the corpses, showing no emotion as he continued to collect the beast materials, his focus unwavering."They just wasted their lives," he muttered."Never unleash a killing intent if you can't back it up," he said to himself as he left the scene.---!!!Thud!!!Cling!!!Thud!!!"He's a monster! Let's run away!" a big man shouted, trying to retreat."Escape? You wish," Zion Bluemoon said, removing the heart of the fleeing man with his bare hands."Ha ha ha," Zion laughed, wiping some blood from his face."I told all of you, don't mess with me. This place shall be your burial ground. Your bodies and souls shall nurture this place," Zion declared, unleashing his aura.Zion stood in the middle of the clearing, surrounded by the dead bodies of about fifteen to twen
Creeaak...Oasis entered the temple, finding it illuminated by wall-mounted magic lights. Ahead, a large door stood imposing, flanked by two smaller doors on either side."What is this place?" Oasis thought as he moved towards the center of the room, scanning the surroundings. "Which way to go?""Divine Peak," Oasis muttered, releasing his spiritual energy to scan the area.Ouch!!!He stumbled, feeling a spiritual attack as the energy from the Divine Peak bounced back at him."Damn, I can't even peek at what's on the other side," he smirked."Fine, I'll choose this one," he said, pointing to the door on the left.Cautiously, he approached and slowly opened it, stepping into the unknown. As soon as he stepped through, the door slammed shut, trapping him inside."What happened? I can't see a thing," he muttered, trying to open the door again but finding only a wall where the door had been.A few breaths later, Oasis calmed himself, thinking of a solution.Twa!!!Suddenly, the place was
The Bluemoon bloodline's strength during the full moon had allowed Zane to unleash the power of someone in the Tabula-Rasa Realm.His beast transformation and the moon's influence had given him the edge he needed, but now he was left drained, standing amidst the carnage he had wrought.Blood-soaked and panting, Zane looked at the Moon Blooming Lotus, its ethereal glow standing in stark contrast to the surrounding bloodbath.He had won, but at great cost.The Moon Blooming Lotus was a sight to behold. Its petals, a shimmering silver-blue, seemed to capture and reflect the moonlight, giving off a soft, ethereal glow.The edges of the petals had a delicate iridescence, shifting colors subtly with the angle of the light.The center of the lotus was a vibrant, pulsating core of energy, hinting at the immense power contained within.Its seven leaves, each perfectly symmetrical, fanned out in a graceful arc, adding to its majestic appearance."Cough!!!"Blood trickled from Zane's mouth. "I n
Oasis gritted his teeth, frustration and determination mingling in his expression. "I need to move faster," he thought, quickening his pace.The seemingly endless passage stretched infinitely before him, but he refused to be deterred.The thought of finding and reuniting with his friends fueled his resolve."I won't let this place trap me," he muttered, pressing on, each step a testament to his unwavering will.Oasis continued walking, occasionally popping food cubes into his mouth. After some time, he noticed a shadow in the distance as he approached."Is that me?!" Oasis exclaimed in surprise."CONGRATULATIONS! YOU HAVE REACHED YOUR FIRST TRIAL. DEFEAT HIM AND PROCEED TO THE NEXT ONE," a voice echoed.As Oasis drew closer, he saw his younger self, from before he had started cultivating."Wow, I was so small," Oasis thought. "This must be around the time I met Master Elias."The young Oasis lunged at him, attacking without hesitation. With a swift flick of his finger, the older Oasis
The second slash came at Zion just after he dodged the first one."Show your face already," Zion said, not trying to dodge the second slash."Futile!" Zion raised his voice, breaking the slash with his bare hands.Shatter"Not bad, young one," a man spoke as he emerged from the bamboo grove.He wore a big conical hat and a dark cloak, holding a sword. The scene was surreal, with the tall, swaying bamboo creating an almost mystical backdrop.The man’s hat cast a shadow over his face, and his dark cloak fluttered in the gentle breeze, adding an air of mystery to his presence."I am Shiro, the Colorless Blade," he introduced himself."Zion Bluemoon. They call me the Wolf of Chaos," Zion responded.The two circled each other, both hesitating to attack first."This man is not that simple," Zion thought as he gazed at Shiro."Let me guide you, young man," Shiro said. "Colorless Blade Technique, activate."!!!!!Energy burst from Shiro as he activated his technique."Damn, I can't believe he
“Dammit, I've been walking for so long,” Oasis thought as he moved through the endless passage."I've met myself a dozen times, but it doesn’t end," he mused, feeling a blend of frustration and determination.Oasis kept moving forward, not knowing how long he had been walking or how many trials he had passed. Yet, his resolve had not wavered."Huh! Another me. Let's get this over with," Oasis muttered, spotting another version of himself in the endless passage and rushing toward him without hesitation.His other version evaded the attack, leaving afterimages behind and a trail of blue flames.“Dancing Phoenix!” Oasis thought, recognizing the technique. "This is me when I entered this passage. I’m certain of it."“Dammit, it means we are equal in strength. This trial doesn’t end. What am I doing wrong?” Oasis wondered, recalling all the versions of himself he had fought and defeated after reaching this place.Oasis and his other version fought on equal footing, exchanging blows and usi
Oasis opened the door and found himself in the same hallway with three doors and the main door that led outside.He glanced at the other doors, shook his head, and made his way to the main door. Without wasting time, he opened it and stepped outside.The moon glowed in Tir na Nog as he passed the guardian statues.The bodies that were there when he entered were nowhere to be seen, presumably eaten by mystic beasts."Phew, finally fresh air," Oasis said, smiling with relief.He recalled Fenris's words: "Never forget you are still a child and you have many years to live, young one. Enjoy your life to the fullest and make the best memories.""Don’t forget the reason for seeking to be strong, and don’t hold back pain as young as you are. Don’t hesitate to destroy those who seek to destroy you and those who stand in your way.""Your killing intent was made from killing mystic beasts, but you have never yet killed a human like yourself. In this place, you won’t be able to run from such fate
The group stepped forward, grinning. "Was it you trying to scare us?" one of them asked.Aya tugged on Oasis again. "Are they bad guys?" she asked."Yeah, they are," Oasis replied, sensing their killing intent. "Just stay behind me, and you will be fine.""She will be fine, huh?" one of the men mocked, and the rest of them laughed."Playing hero, are we? You court death, little brat," another man raised his voice."Leave him to me," one of the men said, jumping toward Oasis with a menacing glare."Fire magic: Phoenix Blaze," Oasis whispered. A burst of blue flames erupted from his hands, engulfing the attacker.The man's screams were short-lived as he was incinerated into ashes, which crumbled to the ground.Aya's eyes widened in awe."That's Phoenix Blaze," she thought, "but big brother's fire is blue. Little me doesn't know blue fire.""How dare you kill my brother!" one of the remaining men roared, charging at Oasis in a fury."Don't! Let's regroup," the other man warned him, but i
