Ten days later.
A huge, five-storey tall honkai beast greeted my sight. It wielded a lance as a right arm and a twenty to thirty meter tall shield.
Bam-!
Its entire body charged in a straight line. The simulated urban city has its ground trembling. The huge templar crashed onto a sky-high condominium.
Rumble-!
BAM-!
The upper half of the condominium came crashing to the ground. The dust cloud it sent up reminded me of my previous world's 2001 incident. A bunch of rubbles came flying in all directions.
My feet floated above the ground. My momentum swiftly grew. I circumvented the area where these rubbles fell. My speed continued to increase, showcasing the characteristics of [Cloud Seeking Steps]. The gathered speed can be turned into a huge momentum that is transferable through physical attacks.
Flying for ten seconds gathered a considerable amount. I kept on gathering them, however.
My spiritual consciousness is fully active. It pointed out the direction of the templar. It is located under a bunch of rubbles.
Seeing it lose track of me, I no longer held back.
A spark of flames appeared atop my palm. In three seconds, it grew to an exaggerated size of a half kilometer-long flame dragon. The flames carved details of its scales, tail, arms, and whiskers.
A tinge of purple could be seen swimming on its flame body.
I did not release it, causing it to grow larger. The spiritual qi inside my body decreased in proportion to its growth. The vast reserves of a Foundation Establishment cultivator is incomparable to my Qi Refining self.
Ten percent should be enough.
By the time it reached three kilometers, it stopped circling above my palm. It agilely located its target as marked by my spiritual consciousness.
BOOM-!
Crackle-!
A sea of flames swept the fallen rubbles, and then the templar. Under my spiritual consciousness, I saw blocks of concrete turn red before being melted into magma. Even the iron rebars are no exceptions.
The white shell of the templar turned black. The flames that struck it contained the purple qi of the [Nine Dragons Purple Qi]. It is the most concentrated essence capable of burning down things.
In the face of the templar beast, it left nothing.
"Fu…"
The scarlet flames are reflected in my eyes. One attack caused damages to a quarter of this city. It is something I can never use easily in real scenarios. The collateral damage alone is enough to kill a lot of people.
The templar…
This is a complete overkill, too. I could gather around a dozen templars and strike them down with the same attack.
I snapped out of my thoughts when my wishes got fulfilled. Ten templars appeared across the border of this urban city. They are all rapidly converging into my position.
I decided on which spell to use.
The [Life Extending Heavy Water] appeared in front of me. I poured five percent of my spiritual qi reserves on it.
Instead of releasing it as an attack, I started the generative phase of the [Five Elements Dao Sutra].
The [Life Extending Heavy Water] dispersed into thin air. Replacing it is a bunch of seeds. It split apart instantly, turning into dozens of floating trees around me.
This consumed ten percent of my spiritual qi reserves.
I didn't stop here.
I want to see the destructiveness of this attack.
Crackle-!
Fwoosh-!
The sea of trees turned into a sea of flames. A familiar nine kilometer long flame dragon is converged by the flames. It circled around my body agilely.
The ten templars almost reached my position at this point. The momentum of this flame dragon surpassed my previous attack. Another fifteen percent of my spiritual qi reserves disappeared.
The next move becomes crucial.
Bam-!
Like fireworks, the flame dragon exploded. Its strands of flames turned into a potent brown light. It shot into the ground beneath me. It continued seeping until it reached a certain limit.
I gestured my right hand upward.
Rumble-!
A large chunk of the ground below floated up. The buildings atop it began to fall off, causing untold destruction on the city beneath me.
Once it reached my height, it turned into a mountain-like shape. Its size is reduced to my palm, yet the strength it emitted increased.
The momentum it emitted suppresses the outside world. The flight speed of the ten templars slowed down visibly.
It is another overkill at this point. A single flame dragon is enough to deal with these templars. My excitement is to blame.
I want to unleash the full capabilities of my current realm.
The spiritual qi inside me flowed rapidly. My dantian is under a state of excitement. It is eager to recover with the spiritual qi in the outside world.
With Anti-Entropy's capabilities, the entire simulation room contained a peak second grade spirit vein. I saw several honkai reactors that fell under places with [Two Phase Art] activated. It costs nothing to activate and remains permanent in the place casted. They turned parts of this building into places with [Two Phase Art].
The spiritual qi continued to riot. Part of it went to the small mountain in my palm. Most of it went inside my dantian.
Still, this
"Fu…"
I exhaled.
The final move is yet to come.
The final generative phase of the five elements. Water strengthens wood; wood feeds flames; flames reinforce the earth.
Finally, the earth bears metal.
Hum-!
The small mountain in my hand shot to the sky. It dissipated into dots of golden light before turning silver. A connection to the surroundings is established in my mind.
With the wave of my hand…
BAM-!
Boom-!
RUMBLE-!
The entire city shook. The ten templars got swatted down like flies, deeply embedded into the ground. Their shells did not last three seconds before being torn apart. Their purple juices seeped into the ground. Their entire body turned into a smashed patty.
It wasn't only them.
The entire city experienced a high magnitude earthquake. The establishments fell to the cracks on the ground. Nothing was spared.
Nothing.
In exchange for it, seventy-five percent of my spiritual qi is gone. Add the ten percent from earlier, I am down to fifteen percent.
A sense of fatigue appeared on my body. It is further amplified by my metaphysical dantian and spiritual qi flow. Everything feels very congested.
Only silence remained around me… which got broken soon.
"If I knew you are this excited, I would have brought out the emperors sooner."
"Give me fifteen minutes. I can fully recover in fifteen minutes."
"...Okay."
With Tesla's words, I stood still three thousand meters above the ground. Spiritual qi kept on coming towards me.
Fifteen minutes later, the fatigue in my body, mind, and soul is gone.
Tesla must have seen my recovery. A huge silhouette made of dark blue light appeared on the ruined city below. The light dissipated soon after, revealing its true appearance.
It is in the shape of a bull with tusks on its front. It has a tail on its back. Its black shell coupled with blue light pointed out its identity.
The very source of Kaslana genes, the emperor-class honkai beast who got abused the most.
Parvati.
