Border Town, near Sunset Tear Mountain.People walked to and fro on a particular street.Two men sat outside a rather run-down bar on that street that sells spirit alcohol beverages."Have you heard? It seems that the late Emperor Ethren had been ruthlessly scorched to death by one of his own sons..." One of the two spoke, he looked scrawny and malnourished with many scars on his face."Hmph!" The other man snorted. He looked a little bit handsome and possessed a righteous expression on his face."That does not even compare to the ruthless move by the Alstreim Family to completely wipe out the Zeth Empire's Imperial Family! There are more than a million people in that Imperial Family! Imagine the massacre that would have taken place..." He raised his voice."Shhh... Keep quiet! If someone heard that possesses malicious intent, we would get into deep trouble..." The scrawny man urged.With a sigh, he continued, "Who told the Zeth Empire to betray the great Alstreim Family? The Emperor was even publically executed along with his countless heirs and eighty wives. It is such a sad event, but in the perspective of the Alstreim Family, siding with an external force is indeed a serious crime that cannot be forgiven..."The one who spoke for the Zeth Empire snorted."So what if it's a crime? Does that mean that a hegemon that was supposed to protect this land from outside forces completely massacre its own people!?""You seem to be misunderstanding something..." The scrawny man chuckled, "The hegemon doesn't need to justify its actions to us lowly cultivators... If you want to get justice for the Zeth Family, then why don't you knock on their majestic doors and demand justice?""You!?" The handsome man's face fell as he almost stood up.However, his expression froze. Follow current on novelenglish.net
"Did you hear that?" He blinked the next moment."Hear what?" The scrawny man laughed as he mocked, "The sound of your fake righteous mask come off?"The handsome man didn't mind the insult but looked as if he lost his soul. He slowly raised his hand as he trembled and pointed towards the Sunset Tear Mountain.His teeth clattered as he tried to speak, "L-Look!!""Hahaha! Look? You're clearly trying to change the-" The scrawny man laughingly looked behind, and his expression abruptly froze while his pupils dilated!What he saw was a view that he would never forget in his life!A countless number of vines stretched towards the air as it danced on top of the Sunset Tear Mountain, causing massive destruction over the terrain as it swept the trees and magical beasts.The mountain cracked, and from the numerous holes, vines were constantly expanding and squirming as they tried to reach the skies. The vines flailed and smashed countless magical beasts to meat paste, sometimes only managing to break their bones.It was like a scene that was out of a nightmare!However, at a single point in the sky, there was a dense amount of vines that almost blotted out the more massive mountains from their view!Numerous people started to witness the dense congregation of vines piercing and flailing through the air, but they didn't know that in the center of all of it was a single man responsible for awakening the dormant yet peak calamity that would've wiped them out in the future!*Ripp!~~~~*Yet another vine that held on to his leg was ripped apart as Davis flew towards the skies!At this point, he was around a hundred kilometers above the mountain valley he had escaped from, but...

The vine that managed to grasp his leg but was destroyed plunged to the ground, and at the same time, a dense congregation of vines caught up and surrounded him. However, they were all still weaker than him, comparable to the Sixth Stage in terms of Body Tempering Cultivation.However, some green vines were starting to turn blue, giving off a vague suppression that targeted the soul!'Heh, trying to suppress me?'Davis laughed at its attempt to kill him quickly. His pupils abruptly dilated as he spread his hands like a messiah!'Blazing Incandescence Plume Sea!'His Supreme Soul Stage soul force blazed out from his body and instantaneously spread to a kilometer radius, encasing the thousands of vines in its range, and at the same time, the soul force burst into a flaming purgatory!The flames instantly burned the vines in a kilometer radius, and the fire quickly spread to the other long ends of the vines! The other vines that tried to catch up to him abruptly slowed down as if they were terrified of fire, and shuddered, starting to shrivel under Davis's gaze.'Heh, too bad... If I really had the Vermillion Beast Flame Source, then the might of the flames I could conjure would be even more terrifying...'Davis lamented.There weren't only Spirit Attribute Sources born from the amalgamation of heaven and earth energy with elements, but the magical beasts can also give birth to a Spirit Attribute Source!Except, it is difficult to give birth to a Spirit Attribute Source as that would take thousands if not more years for a capable magical beast to produce one.A magical beast could reach its peak power within a few decades, but to naturally birth a Spirit Attribute Source, it would generally take thousands of years, not to mention that the magical beast would need to meet various conditions.The Vermillion Beast Flame Source was listed in the Incandescent Vermillion Soul Mantra as a Spirit Attribute Source, produced by the majestic Vermillion Bird that is an Emperor Rank Species.Even if he obtained a Vermillion Beast Flame Source, it would probably be at Emperor Grade and not any lower. Plus, he doubted that he could easily take over a beast flame of that caliber. Follow current on storynovel.net
By this time, Nadia had already reached hundreds of kilometers high in the skies, witnessing the battle with both fear and fervor.She wanted to join the battle, but looking at the dense congregation of the vines that could easily trap her magical beast form and devour her if she ever were to get caught, a chill ran through her spine!Hence, she could only stay here, wanting her master to win no matter what, but looking at the impenetrable gathering of vines blotting out the mountain below her, she became scared and worried.Because no matter how she saw it, there were new vines continuously emerging from the mountains. Different from the weak vines that were already stuck out from the mountains, the newly emerging ones were becoming more durable and stronger!At this point, it was only a matter of time before her master runs out of energy and gets surrounded or slapped into meat paste!Initially, she had no idea that the vines that blotted out the mountains belonged to a lifeform such as this! She had even consumed a vine in the past, but that tasted bad, so she no longer deigned to even look at it as a food but only looked at it as the culprit that caused the Sunset Tear Phenomenon.But to think that the vines that she had disdained in the past belonged to such a creature. She still couldn't believe it.Davis looked at least a thousand vines burn under him in satisfaction.Flames...This was the attribute he comprehended from cultivating Incandescent Vermilion Soul Mantra, a Peak-Level Emperor Grade Soul Forging Cultivation Manual that held both Light and Fire attributes.Light Laws and Fire Laws...Although he had reached Level One Intent in Light Laws, he felt that using Fire Laws against this plant lifeform would be way effective than Light Laws and just as he expected, it turned out to be highly effective as the vines seemed to easily catch fire, becoming scorched and burnt in the next second as thousands of them turned to ashes in the skies.For a few moments, the space around him turned empty as the vines had already turned into ashes, plunging towards the mountains like it was a rain of ashes.*Whoosh!~*A few vines soared into the skies and quickly caught up to him as they targeted the human that had awakened from its slumber, undeviatingly launching towards his head! Davis seemed to do nothing as he maintained a calm, no, a mocking expression on his face even though he discovered that the incoming vines had the strength of a Peak-Level Seventh Stage Expert!A silhouette flashed in front of him and suddenly punched!Nadia became pale as she saw the scene from above!
