A young man of sixteen years of age sat in a seiza wearing black-gray semi-formal clothes and his tempting aura subtly affecting their atmosphere as a gold haired mature lady with well proportioned figure wearing kimono sat in front of him.
They were discussing about him extracting a drop of Nine Tailed Fox Youkai Blood Essence and him giving her a more purified Nine Tailed Fox Youkai Blood Essence when purple gas started to surround them but Snow simply waved his hand, rendering their plans into a failure as Youkais started to move.
They apprehended a bespectacled young man while Snow simply glanced to him from his peripherals and clouds of purple smoke came to him, his pagoda manifested by itself and absorbed the purple smoke turning it into a ring of purple gas which the pagoda begun to nourish.
"That's the Dimensional Lost... so where's the Annihilation Maker and the True Longinus?" Snow didn't expect that he'll meet them here but that only made things easier as Cao Cao, the leader of the Hero Faction from what he's heard, appeared together with his group.
As Cao Cao was about to say something, the True Longinus shuddered and was absorbed by the pagoda turning into a ring of blue and white light turning Cao Cao into a cripple.
Annihilation Maker was next as it turned into a ring of flexible black light as he looks on to the remaining young lady who was about to say something but her Blade Blacksmith too turned into a ring of silver and golden light for the pagoda before they fainted.

These people truly made his life easier of finding them by them finding him and also Yasaka at the same time.
"Stingy." she pouted as she wanted to become his wife but someone was way ahead of her and it seems she'll have to wait more years, as Snow have promised to come back to her when he's ready to take in more in his arms.
[ Youkai Collective Tile | Nine Tailed Fox Youkai Blood Essence, Nekoshou Youkai Blood Essence, Monkey King Youkai Blood Essence ]
He used Norse Magic Scripts and appeared at a jail like research room underground, finding the holder of Sephiroth Graal experimented on as he erased her memories ever since the Sacred Gear activated.
He absorbed three Sephiroth Graal with not even a bit of resistance as it formed a ring of golden light on his pagoda before he also erased the memories of her being a lab rat by someone, even caring to the point of returning her body back to her childhood and sent her to home base with a letter to say both she and Ingvild would stay at the same room.
As for Telos Karma, Innovate Clear, and the last of the Holy Relics - Incinerate Anthem... they were rather easy to acquire as the next day, all three teleported right inside his room with Telos Karma in the form of a greyish book, Innovate Clear in the form of a monocle, and Incinerate Anthem in the form of a cross.

They were absorbed with Telos Karma making a ring of unstable black light which represent the ever changing karma, Innovate Clear has made a ring of vibrant green light, and last but not least the Incinerate Anthem with its ring of purple flames.
'Another hunt then.'

"Hmm, looks like it's about time I leave since I don't have much to do in this reality aside from cultivation but it would be slower than if I am to cultivate back in home reality." he set his eyes on the group after he teleported to home base. "I'll be leaving, tell her not to search for me."
Who he was referring to was Ophis before he opened a dimensional swirl and then passed through it, not giving anyone in the group time to reply or even say their farewells.
--- --- --- --- --- ---
When Snow emerged from the dimensional swirl, he found himself back in Ethereal Night Realm's forest as his Taiji Entrances opened and greedily started to absorb energy along with his nine golden tails which stored more energy than the others aside from his twelve pairs of devil wings and his dragon wings.
"What a surprise, it seems I've hit the jackpot today." he heard a voice behind him and without him being able to react, a sword pierced through his heart. His senses told him the man who pierced his heart is higher than Divine Spirit Realm no doubt!
"There's a bounty on your head saying to be captured preferably alive but if you struggle then I will kill you." the man explained but Snow had other plans as his nails extended and slit the hands of the man without even bothering about the sword pierced through his body.
'I'm near immortal with Phenex Devil Blood Essence and I have limitless energy stored and produced by my body, beside I have escaped a thousands of times already, do you really think I'm captured so easily?' he shook his head in disappointment before he opened his mouth, fangs extended as blood from the man immediately gathered into a pill, sucking the man dry of his blood and ultimately killed.
His body cultivation went up to Divine Spirit Realm but his cultivation base did not, yet if he wants to breakthrough then he'll be in 10th of Divine Spirit Realm!
He brought out four wood pegs and made a natural formation for him to cultivate in, but again, peace doesn't want to stay with him as two goddesses descended with him as the center.
"Heavenly Slaughter Star God and Brahma Monarch Goddess... you're personally here for my Eternal Night Domain huh." they were out of his ten meter radius so he couldn't use his absolute awareness but Information Domain should do.
He used Worthless on their profound energy, used Security System Magic Scripts to lock their Profound Arts and Legacies, before he stood back up and vanished into two speed clones heading straight towards the two.
His fangs extended and bit towards their now exposed necks.
[ God Collective Tile | Ouroboros Dragon God Blood Essence, Brahma Monarch God Blood Essence, Heavenly Slaughter Star God Blood Essence, and Apocalypse Dragon God Blood Essence ]
He could feel his body cultivation shot up to Peak Divine Master Realm as he absorbed two God Blood Essences and his cultivation base shot up to the same level before he licks his lips in delight.
"Thank you for the great meal, both of you." he smiled and without warning, vanished from their sights as they fell down with blush on their faces. Snow made sure to use his aura to his advantage and this is the end result.
--- --- --- --- --- ---
Snow didn't intend to kill his pursuers even if he has the power to do so, why? They never tried to kill him and only tried to capture him, but Brahma Monarch Goddess is a different matter since she put up a bounty on his head and he also knows that she intend to kill him after making use of him, as seen when some random cultivator earlier tried to kill him the moment he appeared and so he killed him.
He used Security System Magic earlier to lock out her use of profound energy as well as her profound arts so her combat power is no greater than peak Divine Origin Realm!
He didn't care if someone else killed her, he even thought that Heavenly Slaughter Star God will be the one to kill her the moment he left and she wakes up from the pleasure she was hit by.
He used too much energy earlier to lock their profound arts even when they're stronger than him by a large margin but the moment he had sucked out their God Blood Essence and also improve his cultivation base up to peak Divine Master Realm, it became a tad bit easier to use Security System Magic on them.
"Back to storing energy I guess?" he let out phantom images of the Human Collective Tile, God Collective Tile, Devil Collective Tile, Spirit Collective Tile, and Youkai Collective Tile as they all started to store up energy.
During his energy recovery, he picked up a presence with a much higher variant than the profound energy present in the air in the same level as his Taiji Energy and he figured why not make a visit to this presence?
The illusory phantoms returned back to him as he opened a portal towards the place where he picked up the presence and was exposed to ice cold water but he disregarded the temperature since he is from a race using a form of Yin energy and most of his refined blood essence are aligned with Yin.
So this temperature? It didn't even made him cold.
"A Royal Nightshade? It has been a long time since this God has seen or sensed one. Are you here to make this God, part of your Eternal Subjects? This God doesn't mind." the Ice Phoenix God in her human form said from within the ice prison, making Snow raise an eyebrow seeing a True God agreeing to be a part of the Night of Eternal Rest.
"I see, I'm just here in hopes to acquire the Ice Phoenix True God Blood Essence but it seems that you have something that is related to a mission that you're desperate enough to go and be part of my Eternal Subjects in order to prolong your life." he knew the properties of his Night of Eternal Rest.
For one, Eternal Subjects live as long as the Royal Nightshade is alive but if the latter dies, these Eternal Subjects can only stay alive for a billion of years for another Royal Nightshade to serve under.
This is most likely the reason as to why the Ice Phoenix did not mind becoming part of his Eternal Subjects as this would help her in her mission but he does not know what mission was given to her.
"This God will give you a drop of Ice Phoenix True God Blood Essence in return, make this God part of your Eternal Subjects." he nods as he was given a drop of God Blood Essence and in return, his shadow extended towards her and converted her into an Eternal Subject as nothing changed except for her aura that previously made her feel as if an ocean and now she released an aura of temptation.
Her cultivation base didn't go down though as she is a True God before the conversion and he is of a lower cultivation base.
"This God will stay here, do not hesitate to call for this God if you need this God's power." the white haired young lady said and Snow nods before he waved his hand, giving her a much proper clothing than just a simple white dress.
As soon as he was done and he was about to go visit the Wood Spirits, he sensed a swirl beside him which pulled him all of a sudden and he didn't have anytime to react.
'Where are you going to take me?'
