Cultivation Through Artifacts

Khal remained silent after hearing Chief Rou's explanation, and glanced at Lyron in the sky, who still fought with Logan and Jas with obvious signs of his strength improving each second.

However, after staring at the man for several seconds in silence, Khal just shrugged and thought to himself, 'It's none of my business. He brought this trouble onto himself, not me.'

Khal knew whatever was about to happen with Lyron was none of his business, thus was ready to leave and help those around Moon Academy that was in truly trouble because of him, but suddenly several figures appeared in the sky and distance, making his steps to halt abruptly.

"Who the hell are they?" Khal narrowed his eyes as he stared at the crowd in the distance, but soon his eyes widened as all of them began to move toward his direction with visible hostility!

"The hell?! Why are they coming after me now?" Khal looked shocked as he didn't understand why he was targeted even though he just hid his forged iron in his spatial ring.

[If you think a mere spatial ring can disguise the presence of a God Essence, especially those stronger than you in Cultivation Base and years of experience, then you are thinking naively.]

Hearing Nova's voice in his head Khal frowned and asked quickly, "Then what should I do? I hope you don't wish me to fight against all those experts alone, especially here. That is just too much to ask for."

.

Although he once beat close to a hundred Cultivators all alone, it was against people below the Fifth Stage. However, right now the amount that came after him not only was thrice if not four times more than previously, but the weakest among them were on the Seventh Cultivation Stage while the strongest ones were just like Lyron, they were all on the Ninth Cultivation Stage!

Fighting so many experts all alone even with his improved Cultivation Traits, was something he could currently not do no matter what.

Obviously, this sight caught many eyes, including Chief Rou and Bazz, whose complexion immediately changed and turned toward Khal to tell him to run, but to their surprise, he was long gone from his spot.

"Where did he go?" both men looked at each other in confusion as they didn't notice Khal's disappearance at all even though he just stood a meter away from them a second ago.

However, one didn't have to be a genius to know that the direction where Khal went was toward Moon Mountain as every cultivator that just appeared continued to fly or run toward that direction with rapid speed.

"Tsk... Now my golden chance has truly swum away just like that." Lyron clicked his tongue in a mixture of dissatisfaction and anger, and after deflecting another strike from Logan he turned around, ready to chase after Khal just like the others.

"Where do you think you are going?" Jas' voice sounded and soon a first slammed into Lyron's back, sending his body flying through the air which came to an abrupt halt right after it crashed into Scarlett's barrier in the distance.

After his slam, without turning to look at Logan Jas waved his hand and said, "Go and help him. I will take care of this guy here."

Logan remained silent for a while, but after seeing that the crowd of cultivators that chased Khal was getting further and further away he couldn't help but nod and vanish from his spot like a ghost.

Meanwhile, Lyron stood onto his feet with a rather angry face, his body slowly leaking a dangerous aura together with the intent of kill!

Seeing this, Jas took a quick glance at the damaged surroundings and the people in Moon City that looked in this direction with worried and afraid expressions, before he sighed and shook his head inwardly.

'Although it was not entirely his fault that all of this is happening, he is still the main source of this catastrophe. Once everything is settled and calmed down, I will make sure to teach him a few lessons." thought Jas before his figure flickered in the air and threw a punch forward that cleanly landed on Lyron's face once again.

BOOM!

TREMBLE!!

In the meantime, Khal has already reached Moon Mountain thanks to his Secret Art, his improved speed, and a tremendous amount of Body Essence.

However, strangely enough, when he reached the foot of the mountain, instead of continuing to run he stopped using his Secret Art and took out the half white and half black cube from his spatial ring.

After thinking for a while, he closed his eyes and took a deep breath before he took out a small pebble from his storage ring and put it above the iron cube.

"Improve my Power Core Holder ability."

[That will be 5,000 units of Body Essence, leaving you with only 1382 units. Are you sure?]

"Yes."

[I see. Then as you wish.]

In the very next instant, Khal felt as a huge portion of his Essence flowed into his bracelet, evolving Nova even further, while the bracelet itself changed once again, becoming thicker and a bit longer on his arm while an additional hole appeared next to the previous four.

[You have improved Power Core Holder ability. If you want to further strengthen it, you will need 10,000 Body Essence!]

Khal nodded after hearing Nova's voice and without hesitation dropped the pebble in his grasp which immediately melted into the iron cube.

[Notify! 'Core' detected!]

[Forming 'Power Core'!]

Instantly, just like always, Khal felt his hand stuck onto the iron's surface while his Essence surged into it like a raging river, helping to form the Power Core inside it.

However, because this time it was not a normal Power Core as previously but one that was created from God Essence, Khal noticed that the amount of Body Essence that was needed was a lot more too.

Out of his 1,383 units, 1,000 vanished in just a few seconds, and just as Khal thought that this amount will continue to increase luckily it didn't, and exactly at 1,200 units, it stopped decreasing.

['God Essence' depleted!]

[Enough 'Body Essence' used!]

[Creation process succeeded!]

['Power Core' Life and Death Sword created!]

Cling!

Although he felt surprised and confused why his Power Core was called that way, Khal quickly picked the small shining pebble up from the ground and placed it into the empty slot inside his bracelet.

['Power Core: Life and Death Sword' detected!]

['Power Core: Life and Death' obtained...]

[Starting 'Fusion'...]

Swish!

In a flash, Khal felt a familiar but much stronger energy sweep through his body, while several black and white lights started to swirl below his skin with the thickness of human veins!

And after a second later...

['Fusion' completed!]

['Seventh Stage: Life and Death Sword' active!]
