At the center of the crater, there was an old man who was buried under countless stones and rocks. The old man opened his eyes. There was a white transparent bubble-like barrier surrounding his body.

Just as the old man opened his eyes, the bubble-like barrier began cracking. Seeing this the old man closed his palm into a fist and punched the stones that were burying him.

Booom!!!!

All the stones and rocks that were burying the old man were crushed. As the old man finally stood up, the bubble barrier finally shattered like glass.

Crack!

Shatter!

Right after the barrier around Ashley shattered, the jade bead on his right arm also started to crack. Ashley could do nothing but stare at his beginner-grade 5-star artifact which was gradually breaking down. Ashley knew deep in his heart, that if he had not worn this beginner-grade 5-star defensive jade bead, he would have been dead already.

Just recalling what had happened to him made shivers down Ashley’s spine. This was the first time after reaching Peak 5th order, Ashley bought near this close to death.

Crack!

In the end, the jade bead had cracked all over. The beginner-grade artifact had lost its powers. Now this jade bead was completely useless. ‘This artifact is called a life-saving artifact for no reason. Unfortunately, the attack was just too strong. Even though this artifact managed to protect my life and pretended even a single injury from falling on my body, while doing that, it had to sacrifice itself.’

With a heavy heart, Ashley took off the Jade bead and threw it away. This artifact has been with him ever since Ashley had become a Mid-4th-order cultivator.

『Wind Breaker』

『Peak grade 4-star』

『Description: – A special type of artifact which was made for the sole purpose of increasing the user’s speed. The artifact was forged using a Unicorn’s feather and a unique metal which do not have any weight. The person who forged this earring was the best generational forger of his time. The appearance of the earring caused a big war to break out between the 3 nations. The Windbreaker artifact caused the deaths of 1.9 million people from various races. In the end, the Windbreaker artifact was sealed away in an ancient temple.』

『Function 1』: – The user can teleport anywhere within 1000 meters. Note: – The first function will enter into a cool-down period after each use.

Cooldown period: – 10 hours

『Function 2』: – The second function gives the user [400+] boost in agility when a little mana is given to the Windbreaker artifact.』

“It looks like you’re still not dead.” Hearing the mocking words, Ashley looked at Aditya who was standing 30 meters above the sky. Even though Aditya looked calm, deep down his heart was beating wildly. That attack was undoubtfully one of the strongest attacks that Aditya had used. The Crimson lightning blink always worked on his enemies. Never did he think even in his wildest dreams that the old man would be able to take on the full power of Crimson lightning blink and still live without any injuries.

‘There is not even a single scratch on his body. Just what did he do?’ Aditya tried to recall the scene when the seven bolts of Crimson lightning hit Ashley. At that time, everything happened just too damn fast. The old man was sent flying too damn fast for Aditya to actually see him but at the very moment when the 7 bolts hit Ashley’s body, Aditya does recall seeing a mysterious green light glowing from the jade bead that the old man wore on his right arm.

“You managed to survive using your artifact. But what will save your ass now?” Ashley looked at Aditya in hatred. If the world knew that a Peak 5th-order was being humiliated by a mere beginner 3rd-order, Ashley would lose all of his faces. At the start of the battle, Ashley was taking this fight lightly as he believed that he can easily kill off Aditya. But in this stage of the battle, Ashley wasn’t even sure if he will manage live by the end of the battle. Especially if Aditya used that lightning move from before, Ashley knew he cannot dodge it.

Ashley’s eyes turned red from anger. He infused his golden spear with mana causing the golden spear to have an extra golden glow to it. Seeing this Aditya also did the same with his Adamantite Doomblade. However, instead of glowing, the black sword was covered with a dark Aura with Crimson lightning flickering.

“Aditya, I want you to die.” Saying that Ashley threw his spear at Aditya using his full strength and power. Aditya in response also did the same.

From the distance, Alicia, Noah, Sylvie, and Nora saw a golden ray of light and a dark purple ray of light with crimson lightning on it, colliding.

Knowing that the shockwave of this collision might hurt Aditya, he quickly moved away before the collision could happen. The old man Ashley also did the same.

Right after the spear and the black sword collided, a bright flash of light spread everywhere, blinding everyone in the range. Even Ashley and Aditya were forced to close their eyes as the light was too bright. What followed after the intensely bright light was a world-breaking explosion that shook the entire Inner region of the heavenly Hemlock forest.

Booooooooooom!!!!!!!!!!

Even though both Aditya and Ashley had started retreating before the collision, the explosion was so big that it immediately caught up to them. At that moment, both of them used mana to cover their mana which protected their bodies. In addition to covering his body with mana, Aditya also made sure to surround himself with an orb of Crimson flame which further increased his defenses. As he new that normal flame wouldn’t even affect the Crimson flame.

Even though Alicia, Nora, Sylvie, and Noah, all four were currently more than 5000 meters away from the explosion sight, they also felt the earth violently shaking. From this distance, they were easily able to see the scope of the explosion.

With the explosion, a huge cloud of dust and pebbles rose in the air. “This is the power of Peak 5th-order cultivator?” Even Sylvie couldn’t believe it. This explosion could easily destroy the entire capital of the Ethereal Empire.

Meanwhile, Alicia started feeling worried about Aditya. While Alicia has seen Aditya fight against peak 4th-order cultivators many times in the past, she has never seen him fight a Peak 5th-order.

Meanwhile, after the explosion, Aditya and Ashley both run at each other. Right now both men were thirsty for each other’s blood. Given both of their speed, in a matter of few seconds both of them closed the thousand meters distance.

Crimson Blaze!

Aditya put [300+] of this mana into creating a huge orb of Crimson flame. The Crimson flame rob was around 250 meters big. As soon as he finished creating the Crimson flame orb, every living being in the Heavenly Hemlock forest was able to see it. Aditya did not stop there by spending another [50+] made, he made the crimson flame orb spiral.

“Just how big is his mana pool?” The old man Ashley’s face turned slightly pale as he stared at the huge gigantic crimson flame orb. In front of the 250 meters big crimson orb which seems to have devoured the entire world itself, Ashley’s size was the same as the size of an ant. While his size was just two meters the Crimson flame orb was around 250 meters big.

“This flame is very dangerous.” Ashley noticed that even though the flame hasn’t done anything, its appearance had caused the temperature of the surroundings to rise very quickly The trees, grass, and bushes near the Crimson flame orb began to burn even though the flame did not even touch them. The stones had just started melting because of the terrifying heat.

Even the rain that was happening because of the storm stopped. It was rather that the temperature of the crimson flame was causing the raindrops to evaporate. If Aditya had not covered his clothes with mana, then even his clothes might have burned off from the temperature. Even though his body wasn’t affected by the high temperature, his clothes weren’t a part of his body.

Boom!

Aditya blasted off the Crimson sun that he had created just for Ashley. Seeing the Crimson blaze orb heading toward him, Ashley quickly used a big portion of his mana and slammed the ground with his right fist.

“We will have to move further away.” Sylvie, Nora, Noah, and Alicia, all of their faces were deadly pale. Because even though they were 5000 meters away, they were able to feel the heat of the Crimson sun.

Sylvie quickly carried Alicia in her arms while Noah was already being carried by Nora, both beginner 5th-order started running at their full speed. While being carried, Alicia saw the Crimson sun was being blasted toward the direction of north.

For a few seconds, everyone heard rumbling sounds. Alicia widened her eyes in deep shock seeing a huge almost 300 meters big wall of earth rising and blocking the Crimson orb’s path.

The earth wall was around 300 meters tall and 300 meters wide. Right after creating the earth wall, Ashley had only one thought in his mind and that was to run. He knew when this Crimson sun explodes, it will also bring chaos and utter destruction to the Inner region of the Heavenly Hemlock forest.

Just as the Crimson flame orb hit the earth wall, a huge world-shaking explosion took place. Crimson flame spread in every direction. A huge shockwave started destroying the inner region of the Heavenly Hemlock forest. Even the sky was engulfed and devoured in Crimson flame. The whole sight was very frightening to watch. To Sylvie, Alicia, and others it looked like the whole world is being devoured by Crimson flame.

Booooooom!!!!!!!!!!!

Rumble!!!!!!

Just as the explosion had taken place, Ashley was already 800 meters away. He did not just stop there. He continued to run like a mad man. Fully knowing that stopping here would only be his death. He also made sure to cover his body with mana as he knew that he cannot outrun the shockwave of the explosion. If he lets the crimson flame hit him, it will seriously injure his body or worse it will kill him.

Huff! Huff!

“It looks like things have finally started calming down.” Ashley arms and legs had suffered from 2nd degree burns even though he had protected his body with a layer of mana. His back was also burned. The injury could have been even worse if he had not protected himself in a layer of mana.

“All that aside, now that Aditya has used such a big and massive attack, I am sure he should have ran out of mana by now.” Ashley had a total mana of 1200. He had used half of his mana. The old man Ashley was an agility type fighter. Meaning that even for a Peak 5th-order he was too fast. But so far into the battle Aditya has been managing to overwhelm Ashley in agility and in strength. Now his only shot of winning this battle was if Aditya ran out of mana.

Not even 10 seconds had passed, and Aditya suddenly appeared in front of Ashley. In his hand, he was holding the golden spear which was Ashley’s, and the black sword. Seeing that his weapon was being used by his enemy Ashley’s face turned dark. Right now, both weapons were covered in Crimson lightning.

Aditya took a step forward and swung the golden spear at Ashley. The old man managed to dodge by taking a step back. Aditya did not stop there. He vertically swung the adamantine Doomblade. Ashley had stepped aside thinking that he had successfully managed to dodge the attack. However, he failed to notice the sly smile on Aditya’s face.

Just as he took a step back, a powerful bolt of Crimson lightning fell on his head from the sky while red hot magma started coming out from the ground under him.
