Path of Absolute Transcendence

While Kai was thinking about his talent, he noticed a change in the mountain. The surface shook slightly, not noticeable if someone didn't look carefully.

Suddenly, the center of the mountain split open by itself; a fragment emerged from the hole and floated under the sun.

'Finally, I don't have to wait anymore.'

Kai sprinted towards the fragment as soon as he saw it; since he didn't know how long it was going to stay outside. He took the fragment after checking for possible danger.

The entire mountain shook as soon as Kai took the fragment, it seemed to know the disappearance of the fragment.

'What the fuc* happened? Is this mountain sentient?'

Kai noticed the sudden change in the situation and immediately concluded.

Dark clouds began to appear in the sky, and those clouds gathered above the mountain; black lightning and thunder generated, giving Kai a very dangerous feeling.

Kai immediately stored the fragment in his storage ring and tried to leave the mountain, but it seemed the mountain wasn't easily letting him off.

The lightning struck Kai and it was so strong that no one in the Tier 3 should be capable of defending it.

'What the fu**, how is this mountain capable of controlling the thunder?' Kai began to ponder while evading the attack using phantom steps.

From his observation, the mountain should have a natural affinity towards earth elements, so it was a surprise for him to see it using thunder attacks.

Kai began to descend the peak to completely avoid the attack's range. But he didn't even get far from the fragment, a barrier appeared around the peak.

It wasn't a normal barrier, instead, the surrounding space gathered and formed a dimensional cage similar to a storage ring.

'How many affinities does this damn mountain have?' Kai cursed and began to brainstorm for a solution.

He knew his chances of escaping the peak without a fight would be impossible due to the spacial cage; so the only option left for him was to fight against the mountain and kill it.

"Hey, damn mountain! Why don't you come and fight me head-on like a true warrior?" Kai tried provoking it, hoping it would be stupid.

But the response to his provocation was a lightning attack from the sky. With his danger sense, he dodged the attack without any problems.

Before he could think of any other ways, the air element left Kai, which formed a vacuum around him.

'Wha th fu*! How does it still have control over air element?' Kai thought while holding his throat.

The vacuum formed something similar to a space tunnel and cut off the oxygen to his lungs. Although, Tier 3 beings are capable of traveling in space, but that doesn't mean they can live without oxygen.

So, Kai wanted to solve this problem very quickly. Battling against this mountain without oxygen for a long time would be impossible; either he had to end this battle quickly or find a way to breathe again.

While Kai was thinking of a solution, the thunder seemed to have gathered enough; dark thunder and rain began to fall towards Kai.

Seeing the dire situation, Kai activated his bloodline power without a second thought and tried to hide in the shadows.

But the dark thunder changed its direction and began to destroy every object that helped Kai by providing shadows.

'Why is this mountain so intelligent?' Without any shadows to hide, Kai formed a Will Shield and withstood the attack, while dodging the things he could dodge.

His Will shield withstood the incoming attacks without any problems; the quality of his Will Power increased after he underwent the downgraded process of nirvana during his breakthrough, which helped him avoid getting injured right now.

'Phew! It finally ended, I shouldn't stay passive anymore.' Kai thought in relief after the thunderstorm ended.

The real problem he's facing right now is that he doesn't know how to attack this mountain.

Kai arrived above the thunderclouds to avoid getting attacked by them again. After that, he began to inspect the mountain for any possible weakness.

It seemed that the mountain guessed Kai's purpose, so it formed a storm and the clouds also merged with it.

A huge tornado of more than five hundred meters appeared before Kai; there are thunder and lightning flashes appeared and disappeared from time to time.

That wasn't the end of it, even more clouds gathered above Kai. It is more bigger and dangerous than the previous one; also they appeared at the end of the barrier so that Kai wouldn't be able to escape by appearing above it.

'Now, how should I face this attack?' His face became serious, he also used his parallel thinking ability to form an efficient method.

"Although it is the first time using his attack ability, you should be honored to receive it," Kai muttered knowing that the mountain could understand him.

He spread his Will consciousness around him, which spread without any troubles.

After Kai made the move, everything disappeared like it never happened. He smiled and nodded in satisfaction.

Kai just now used electromagnetic energy to disrupt the lightning element and made them disperse on their own by his Law Bending ability. (Another name for Will Manipulation)

Kai manifested a sword in his hand using Will Power and attacked the ground with sword intent.

His sword intent made a deep pit in the surface, but it didn't cause any reaction from the mountain.

'So, directly attacking it won't be any use, I need to think of another solution'

While Kai was thinking, he began to feel an intense head around him.

'So, its ability should be similar to Nature Manipulation' Kai concluded after seeing the fire elements begin to act against him.

He used his Law Bending to take control of the element from the mountain and he succeeded without any troubles.

'At least, its ability seems to be weaker than mine.'

The mountain that Kai is battling right now is similar to the sand spirit; the sand spirits mutate from sand and they acquire additional form due to the existence of Tier 5 treasure.

This mountain also mutated due to fragment, but doesn't acquire any form. It only developed consciousness and intelligence.

It was the mountain that let the fragment appear on the surface once a month, it is using the fragment to cultivate to break through into Tier 4; since they aren't limited by forms.

It is currently peak Tier 3 and has Nature Manipulation talent like Kai had guessed; since the mountain is formed from nature. Due to its talent, the mountain is stronger than most of the Tier 3 beasts and cultivators.

But this talent is not stronger in higher stages of cultivation, since everyone could achieve the same results with their domain.

Kai used his electromagnetic energy to disturb its control over the air element. He succeeded in a single attempt easily.

'So, its weakness is control over the elements.' Kai smiled after figuring it out.

Although the mountain's every attack is stronger than normal Tier 3, its control over them is weaker than he thought; all Kai had to do was interfere with its manipulation ability.

The mountain attacked Kai using wind blades and ice spears, but he dodged them calmly without any problems.

'Now, the only problem is the cage that surrounds me.' He thought while evading every single attack.

The mountain desperately attacked Kai after he found its weakness, but it didn't work on him.

All of its direct attacks from nature became useless and it could only conjure elements to attack him, but that wasn't strong enough to injure Kai.

Kai inspected the cage around him using his Will Power to clear his doubt.

"So, this is how you locked me, but that won't be possible from now on." He muttered with a smile.

The mountain didn't manipulate the space around Kai to imprison him, instead, it created a realistic illusion, which looked like a spatial cage.

The space element, which is present almost everywhere is one the strongest elements to ever exist, so Kai began to doubt that the mountain could manipulate such an element using its weak talent.

So he inspected using his Will Power and found the answer; he didn't bother to fight with this mountain anymore and flew away from it.

The mountain shook and vibrated in anger, it didn't want to let the thief who stole its treasure.

Thunder clouds formed again, but its magnitude was on a whole other level compared to the previous one, even Kai had to stop and look in amazement.
