Chapter 58 - Tatsuyas Decision (1/2)
Tatsuya had finally finished his secluded training, reaching the partial mastery over the earth element. The aura around his body became more ancient and profound, however it's mostly hidden in the eyes of normal cultivators. Only people at the same level will be able to sense his terrifying strength.
”Master, congratulations!” Fenlong approached Tatsuya with a smile.
”Thank you, Fenlong. I see that you have also broken through to the Sovereign Profound Realm. What do you think? Are you powerful enough to dominate everyone at this stage?” Tatsuya smiled back.
”I feel confident Master that I can dominate everyone at the same realm as me. Right now, only beings at the Divine Origin Realm will be able to defeat me.” Fenlong looked determined.
”That's good then. The inheritance of the Primordial Azure Dragon really suited you.” Tatsuya said.
”Yes. I was shocked too, Master. After all, even though we are of the same race, there should still be some difference, but the divine blood easily accepted me…” Fenlong looked troubled.
”Are you thinking that perhaps your origins are not that simple?” Tatsuya asked.
”I just feel that something is wrong, Master.” Fenlong said.
”Don't worry. As you grow stronger, you will also get the power to seek for the answers of your questions.” Tatsuya consoled.
”Thank you, Master! Are we going to go back to the Divine Phoenix Empire now?” Fenlong excitedly asked.
”Are you that impatient to show off your prowess?” Tatsuya smiled.
”Unfortunately, we can't still return to the Divine Phoenix Empire.” Tatsuya then shook his head, as his eyes turned cold.
Fenlong felt surprised when he saw his master's current expression. He then deeply thought and tried to recall what other business they have not done yet. Then, his eyes brightened, recalling the Divine Realm Practitioner in Tatsuya's hands.
Tatsuya then waved his hand, his eyes coldly looked in front of him. The Sky Poison Pearl within his soul brightened under Tatsuya's orders, emitting a strange power that affected the space.
Specks of lights appeared before Tatsuya, finally turning into a petite figure. She lied limped on the ground, unable to move her body because of her severe injuries and wounds.
”I underestimated you… If I knew that you're this strong, I wouldn't have antagonized you…” The red-haired girl who initially showed Tatsuya arrogance in their first meeting, now looked completely different in terms of demeanor and state.
”You can only blame your arrogance…” Tatsuya coldly said to her.
”Just be done with it. Kill me. It's not like there's a miniscule chance that you'll spare me.” She stared at Tatsuya with her hollow eyes.
She was a practitioner who came from the upper realms. A Divine Realm Practitioner like her naturally looked down upon beings of the lower realms. She truly hadn't expected that the person she branded as a weakling is even stronger than the strongest being in the upper realms!
Her eyes looked hollow and empty, while she gazed at Tatsuya with her calm eyes. It was like she had completely given up any resistance because she understood that she wouldn't be able to put up a fight before the young man in front of her.
Tatsuya looked at her and did not feel pity. She had utterly offended and provoked Tatsuya when she tried to kill Chu Xin. It was partly Tatsuya's fault too, but the red-haired girl is the true root cause of the problem.
”…” Tatsuya looked silent, flicking his finger.
The air within the cave rumbled, the sky in the heavens turning dark. Lightning began to appear beside Tatsuya, intertwining to form the figure of a beast. The profound energy around them congealed and shuddered.
”Such strength…” The red-haired girl looked at the lightning beast, while she mumbled quietly.
It was then that a formidable pressure pressed down upon her shoulders. It was the most terrifying might that she had experienced in her whole life. She understood that the beings in the upper realm are just ants before Tatsuya.
”If only I possessed this kind of strength back then, I would have been able to protect my mother and brother…” She closed her eyes, while tears trickled down in her cheeks.
Boom!
The lightning beast suddenly moved and flashed towards the red-haired girl. It charred her body in an instant, while the lightning beast entered her body.
Tremendous power ran turmoil inside the red-haired girl's body. She felt a numbing feeling across her body that originated from her profound veins that are currently in chaos. She didn't feel any pain and she understood that in the end, the big brother of the girl she tried to decapitate, had pitied her.
”Thank you…” She muttered a small of words of gratitude.
”And I'm sorry, big brother.” She whispered, while she felt her body losing strength.
Crackle!
The lightning beast in her body had thrown her in the verge of death. She only needed a slight push to completely descend to the purgatory. However, before she even succ.u.mbed to the death, she howled in pain.
”Aaahhh!” Her eyes bled while her body crackled in red lightning.
Fenlong and Tatsuya was caught unprepared, both of them staring at her in surprise. Tatsuya looked at her with complicated emotion flashing in his eyes.
”How truly unexpected… I didn't expect that I'll encounter the red lightning here…” Tatsuya sighed.
