Re-Birth of a Genius. Creator/Destroyer

Old one felt a bitter taste as he looked at the followers dying one by one under the rain.

As he looked at it, he noticed that even the high priests and the priests are having effects on themselves and their skin started aging.

Even though their cultivations are high, there is still some damage. The Golden Finch dropped the ten Consummate cultivators and escaped into the woods.

It doesn't want to involve in the battles and only came to repay a favour for Sai.

"Thank you. Gold. I appreciate your help." Sai looked towards the flying bird and yelled.

Then he looked at the remaining Consummate realm cultivators who are all preparing their attacks.

One of them has his hand pointing towards the sky, he is a person from the herb garden and he is the one who is controlling the rain of the liquid.

All ten of them have faint spiritual energy shielding them from the rain. They don't know what the contents of the liquid are, but they felt like it is not a good thing to be absorbed into the skin excessively.

They don't understand another thing too, this liquid was being easily defended against with a thin shield of spiritual energy, but it is still having such an effect on these followers and even the priests and high priests.

This doesn't make any sense. Only Sam and the Old one understood that this is because of the complete lack of spiritual energy within their bodies. They are nothing but physically strong beings if we put it bluntly.

They are not even cultivators.

Old one is looking as the rain started falling.

Sai and the rest of the team are looking at the platforms to count the number of high priests and they seemed to be only twenty of them remaining.

That means, around ten members broke through the Consummate realm.

But they didn't have to wait much longer to confirm it. By the time they finished counting, they were already surrounded by the high priests wearing masks.

They could judge from their auras which are the same as early-stage Consummate realm cultivators.

The ten cultivators are not even fazed by the show of power, they are surrounded by fifteen high priests and Old one is standing a short distance away.

Sai made eye contact with Old one, who is gritting his teeth in anger.

He could understand how he feels. All the effort he put into and all the things he had done to wage the war, it was all a farce to buy time, so that he can create these thirty or so consummate realm cultivators, but the Six major powers successfully managed to stop his plans.

From the looks of it, there is nothing he can do about the rain, other than killing the person who is controlling it, but when he looked at the person, he knew that the battle is not going to be an easy one.

The line-up is too strong.

But deep down there is a small hope within him saying that if he can finish off these ten people, it would be a lot easier for him to deal with the rest of the major powers.

With a single hand gesture, the attacks started.

The high priests who have the same strength as the initial stage Consummate realm cultivators started attacking the ten men team at the same time.

But their movements are a bit forced and sluggish, Sai and the rest noticed this as soon as they moved.

Initially, they didn't care, but as the battle progressed, they noticed that the rain is even affected the high priests.

That's right, unlike the followers who immediately started aging and dying with the liquid and priests and high priests at pre-transcendent and transcendent realm cultivators, who started showing signs of aging and weakness, the Consummate level high priests are showing only faint sluggishness which was improving with the constant contact from the liquid.

Sai and the team felt extremely thankful to Sam at this moment and there was an extremely bright grin on their faces.

Their fight was becoming easier than they thought.

But at this moment, they suddenly felt a sense of crisis and that came from the person they least expected to act at this moment.

The old one, looked at the ten people as he slowly stepped forward. His whole body is covered in Dark orange flames as he made his way towards the battle.

He is a Late-stage Consummate realm cultivator.

Out of ten people that came only three of them are late-stage Consummate realm cultivators and as for the rest of them, four are middle stage Consummate and the remaining three are initial stage cultivators.

It seemed like an easy fight considering the fact that the opponents are barely initial stage Consummate cultivators who just broke through.

In fact, it is actually true for the most part as they are having an upper-hand in the battle.

But it is a whole different if the Old one joins in. Because, although he is also a late-stage cultivator he is at Level-9 which is the highest stage of cultivation this planet has ever seen.

That is what they sensed from the aura Old one is releasing. In fact, this even surprised Sai and others.

"When did you breakthrough?" Sai asked in surprise.

"It has been a while." The old one answered without any expression.

"Why are you doing all this? With your cultivation you are the strongest man on the planet, why bother going through all this? Can't you just stay on the top unbothered with all these things?"

Sai asked with a faint trace of irritation.

But Old one only smiled and said.

"What do you know about my plight? I might be the strongest on the planet, but this is as far as I can reach. No one might be my opponent with my cultivation, but that is the word a decade ago.

Because I was being worn down by the greatest opponent I couldn't possibly win and that is time. How old do you think I am? I am from the same generation as your grandfather, you weren't even born when I was a nascent stage cultivator, trying to get a position within the headquarters of the association.

Even the Ancestor of the Beast faction has to address me as Big brother when I see him.

But what is all of it worth if I cannot stay alive?

I lived for centuries but this is not enough, I want to live more, but that is not possible staying within this planet. This is the limit, there is a constraint of energy and resources that stop me from advancing.

I wanted to wait and find away, but I am reaching the end of my lifespan. All the injuries I accumulated from the battle and all the perilous situations my soul has endured, it cannot take it anymore.

I am on verge of dying, even with my cultivation level being superior, I am getting weaker. I am not even confident that I can fight the three of unless I go all out.

That is why I wanted to take this step.

The Undead Plague, I found this pill formula from some ancient remains when I was searching for escaping from my plight. I didn't want to use this at first, but a few years ago, I couldn't see any other way. I either have to travel to the higher realms or find a resource that is big enough to give me enough vitality to live long enough time to find a way to go to higher realms.

That is why I started this undead plague.

The main aim of this pill is to increase self-cultivation while creating an undead army.

But from the looks of it, my plan is also on verge of failing."

The old one went on and on as he felt lost in his own thoughts, he seemed to have been holding this up for quite a while.

Sai and the other two late-stage cultivators stood in front of him as they started raising their auras.

"Enough talk, let us just start." Old one spoke and the dark orange flames started flying all over.

The three on one battle was extremely intense as they fought to their tooth and nail.

The three of them are Level-7 and two of them are Sai and Sravan.

As they are fighting, Sravan suddenly remembered something and felt like they missed some people.

He looked around and didn't find the ones he is looking for.

It is none other than the people that ambushed him and his transcendent team.

"Sai, three middle-stage Consummate realm cultivators are missing."

He yelled in the middle of the battle.

A large streak of fire hit him in the back and threw him into the air and Old one's voice came from behind.

"Where did you even get the time to worry about others? But it is the right thing to do."

As he spoke the three middle-stage cultivators came out of nowhere and made a triangle formation around the four of them.

"They are actually my support and now it seems like a fair fight."

Sai started panting hard as he looked at the three of them who surrounded them.

"I didn't want to use this, but you leave me no choice."

With that, he waved his hand and a Wyvern appeared out of nowhere. It is almost the same size as that of Sravan's. But Sravan's is an Ice-type while Sai's is a fire type.

Not only that, Sai closed his eyes and his energy levels started raising.

He removed the limiter.
