"Hahaha! This formation is so much fun!" Felix laughed while using the Four Elements formation to make all enemies who slip past the defenses explode.
It felt like a game in his past life to him.
All dangers destroyed by fire.
Serious wounds healed with water.
Unfavorable terrain remade with earth.
Wind to cut throats or even pass messages.
Now, even the city lord ultimately gave up on assuming the role of command.
Felix was like a godly mind-hive, entirely in control and amazingly ingenious in his commands.
"This youngster is impressive! I have never seen such fluid maintenance of commands on the battlefield. Only a few unfortunate one-hit casualties appear now and then, but all others manage to retreat on time."
An older man in full armor made from golden materials smiled at the other experts who held the highest positions.
"Guard leader Henk, it is as you say! I'm embarrassed to say, but I don't think I could achieve such a meritorious deed." City Lord sighed like a deflating balloon.
"Haha! City Lord! You are already above me with your composure! If someone took control of me, I would make a horrible mess because of my rage. Now your calm has saved so many lives!"
Alchemist Roze commented, and everyone smiled as they felt this catastrophe had a chance for their survival.
On the other hand, Felix enjoyed his Fire, Water, Earth, and Wind Runes getting stronger every second.
"So much wild energies!"
The Four Elements formation attracted the fundamental energies from all directions, and Felix was experiencing them with his mind.
"I can feel Chaos Law Rune close to a breakthrough!"
Felix laughed as he located Marcus and sent him a message to travel to the city's center via Wind Energy.
Time passed, and fatty was simply standing on guard for Felix while they waited for an opportunity to escape into the mountains.
"I can't just abandon the city, as all the experts will retaliate. But, on the other hand, I also can't just go through all these beasts without being noticed..." Felix was in a dilemma.
Meanwhile, the Bloodline Emperor finally received more news in the Westgate Clan.
"Your Majesty!" An old man who looked like death itself was living in his shadow bowed to the throne.
"Duke Qurop, you, as a High Seer, don't need to be polite here!" Emperor smiled amiably and stood up to personally help this elder up.
"My Emperor! I must give respect, no matter the status! I come bearing a piece of important news!"
Emperor led the Seer to sit down, and a round table materialized.
The round surface depicted a visible Yin-Yang pattern, and in the middle was the crest of the Westgate Clan.
Only three chairs materialized, and the Emperor's throne appeared in the main seat.
Liron, Seer, and another man in official clothes of the clan sat down.
"Your Majesty! As you have ordered, my little Seer's looked into the matter of the Felix The Second Westgate!" The High Seer began in a quivering old voice.
"We see that our outside intelligence confirms our peer into the Heavenly Secrets!"
Emperor showed a composed expression, and nobody could guess what he was thinking.
"Felix was just unlucky this time! He encountered the Ancient Evil because the Demonic Court began its movements around the cultivation dimension!"
Seer coughed lightly, and this slight pause made Liron think about many things.
"Your Majesty! Our Space Temples have received the same news from outside. Thus I think Felix's talent isn't yet exposed!" The man who sat in official clothes spoke in a confident voice.
"Mind Master Yori, I trust your judgment! I have also gained the same thoughts from the Ancestral Hall just a few moments ago!"
Liron frowned and just listened to this conversation, as his status was way lower than others.
"Liron, it appears the kid is lucky and unlucky at the same time!" Emperor smiled finally, and he waved his hand as some space powers sent some messages outside the hall.
"Your Majesty! There is something weird lurking in the boy's shadow! Our Future Priestess has sacrificed her lifespan and obtained a small image of the boy in peril!"
High Priest coughed and showed a small piece of cloth, with an image of Felix surrounded by a group of Demonic Court assassins.
The cloth was small, and the fresh redness indicated that the paint was new blood.
"So the Demonic Court is in cahoots with the Warring Dominion Empire!" Bloodline Emperor raised a brow and smiled mysteriously.
"Your Majesty! Our Space Temple sent three masters of disguise and infiltrated all Eastern Void powers! It seems Demonic Court, Warring Dominion Empire, Beasts Realm, and some religions are in an alliance to obtain three main goals!"
Mind Master Yori sighed as he reported the fresh intel.
Emperor showed a curious expression and nodded.
"So it seems that they finally expanded to the maximum capacity in the east. The Central regions have the most recourses and are occupied by the strongest."
Emperor stood up and began pacing while in monologue.
"The north is full of Yin Energy, and the South is full of Yang. This cultivation dimension is still furiously expanding into the void. However, the powers already have fully distributed the lands."
High Seer nodded distinctly with approval.
"Your Majesty! We had a lot of trouble in the west, but after we defeated all superpowers in Ancient War and Doomsday Battle, we are the sole rulers of the west!" High Seer said in a raspy voice.
"Yes, and we maintained our strategy of low-profile for so long. Hahahaha! We gathered so much power, but they take it as a decline."
Bloodline Emperor laughed at this contradicting situation.
After all, nobody wanted to poke a dragon in its sleep. But unfortunately, the new powers who mistook their quietness for weakness did just that.
"Your Majesty, we also gained complete knowledge of the stance of the Central Regions powers, as well as North and South!"
Yori smiled as he took out a binder that looked very out of place in this cultivation world.
"Oh?" Emperor raised a brow and took the binder to look at the gathered statements.
North - neutral.
Central Void: Demonic Court - Enemy, Others - Neutral.
South: Nothingness Palace - Enemy, Sects alliance - Enemy, Others- Neutral.
East: Evil Alliance - Enemy, Buddhist Plateau - Neutral, Sword Sect - Neutral, Warring Dominion Empire - Enemy, 33rd Heaven Tower - Ally.
"Oh, the Jade Emperor didn't respond?" Bloodline Emperor looked at Yori.
"Your Majesty! Jade Emperor only said that the Righteous Court was preparing for war with Demonic Court. Also, the other so-called allies just remained an aloof position, and said to be in neutral positions, because of various religions expanding in north-east."
Yori reported with precision.
"Fine! Let's do it like this then! We can't abandon Felix as he is quite an interesting little fellow! So Liron makes sure the kid lives and lets Marcus obtain the bloodline of that Evil Giant."
"Your Majesty! Do we need to use so much workforce for one kid?" Liron asked with a bowed head.
"Liron! I have already read the history of this child Felix. He was pretty much a guinea pig in that God's Realm! I want to show him that he can become a blooming flower under me! Give him freedom and privacy! Whatever he comprehends, no matter what treasure he finds, it is all his opportunity! Now get going. You will command all the Fourth Transformation experts in the Central Void. For now, the kid lives no matter what!" Emperor commanded in a dignified voice, and Liron left the hall hurry.
"Haha! Your Majesty, it seems you deem that child important!" High Seer laughed merrily and looked at the Emperor.
"Haha! Old man, this kid possibly resonated with Ancestor Tyranum's Sword. What do you think I should do? Hahahaha!"
Emperor laughed joyously as he watched the two men with shocked expressions.
"So it seems Emperor is once again looking out for clans best interest! Very well then, I will maintain the kid's Karma Line in my observations. If something happens, I will report immediately." High Seer bowed slightly and left the hall.
"Emperor, any orders?" Yori bowed.
"Mind Master Yori, I want you to send some of your little ghosts to look out for Felix, just in case of an accident. That will be all!" Emperor dismissed Yori, and only his throne remained in the hall.
When the Emperor was alone, his shadow manifested into a person.
It was a young woman.
She had a beautiful face and green eyes.
Also, the crown on her head was similar to Bloodline Emperors.
"My love! Do you want some of the Royals to help Felix?"
"It is okay, my beautiful." Emperor smiled and lovingly embarrassed the woman.
"Well, aren't you just sickeningly in love?" A voice appeared.
Bloodline Emperor and Empress were startled and quickly stood up and bowed.
"Ancestral Elder Giamo!"
"Yeah, yeah, just sit down..." An old geezer with no hair and eyebrows walked in front of them.
He wore a tattered black outfit and looked more like a drunkard than an important person.
"Ancestral Hall already knows the end goal of the Demonic Court."
Bloodline Emperor listened with a respectful expression.
"Those evil bastards will use talented youths for a sacrifice to extend those old fossils lifespans, so bring all children back to home. Everyone up to one hundred years old is in peril outside. So you better hurry, or Ancestors will make you pay. Haha!"
The geezer cackled at their grievous expressions.
"Ancestral Elder, but what about our efforts to stay low-profile for all these years?"
Bloodline Empress asked with curiosity.
"Child, this policy was to maintain secrecy for our Ancestor's recuperation! Now they are back in full power and stronger than ever! Others think they are dead, but only a few perished in the past, so now we make a move to gather some things for their cultivation!"
The geezer showed a disdainful smile as he spoke confidently.
"Elder, why do you put so much importance in Felix?" Emperor asked with interest.
"Ancestor Lord Westgate was a reincarnation. What else do you not understand?"
The geezer looked at the Emperor as a fool and just left them in awkward silence.
"My Love, it seems our cultivation is still too shallow, as the clan still has so much unknown to us..." Empress sighed and kissed the Emperor.
Time passed, and the second day was almost over.
Felix could clearly feel the Titled God Beasts fight for their lives as they charged at the city through piles of corpses.
"I should vacate the scene now. The formation eye accumulated enough of my mental energy to maintain autopilot workings for an hour."
Felix sighed as he planned his escape to complete the missions.
"Marcus, let's go!"
The duo vanished out of perception with the help of Felix's magical spells, and only illusions of their figures stayed behind.
"Felix, are you sure we can pass through this mess?" Marcus asked with a scared voice.
"I am sure! Just stay alert and don't lose focus!" Felix smiled and opened a hole in the ground.
They jumped in, and Felix helped Marcus see a tiny light element bobble.
Felix used his time wisely and created a fortified underground tunnel using the Earth Energy of the Four Elements formation.
"Let's hurry, I made sure most of the underground beasts would die along this tunnel, so it is crowded around," Felix said while rushing.
They were extremely cautious and even used shadows, illusions, and perception to disguise magic as they quickly burrowed underground.
Felix felt the need to practice more magic, as his rusty skills took time for even an earth energy fluid control.
After all, he was like a greenhouse flower, raised inside the clan now. So he had to be careful not to make deadly mistakes.
Time passed, and luckily they felt less mad at sounds of war from above, so Felix decided to go to the surface to look around.
"There are so many beasts!" Marcus gasped as he watched leagues of beasts cover the horizon.
"Yes, this is the biggest and main territory of the beasts on this star," Felix commented as he found his direction.
"Marcus, we still need to pass through Principle God Beasts, but if we go underground, the small fluctuations will alert them! So let's go on the surface." Felix explained, and they traveled on foot, slowly and carefully.
Several massive mountain-like beasts were looking at the battle with no interest.
However, Felix and Marcus could see the fear in their eyes as they felt that terrible intent from the depths of mountains.
Felix felt his token fluctuate with new information.
"Felix, I send you information about the Ancient Evil Titan and how to absorb its bloodline! Also, many new missions will come up for you now, so be ready. It is a rare opportunity to gain merit before reaching stronger cultivation!" Liron's message attached some books about this evil intent and bloodline.
Felix smiled, and he passed the information about the bloodline to Marcus's token, and they continued their journey.
Some of the Principle God Beasts seemed to feel their existence, but as it was like a mosquito presence, nobody gave a damn, and the duo of kids passed through the beasts.
Felix and Marcus could now see the mountains range for thousands of kilometers without end.
Some lakes and mountain streams made the environment fresh and greenery.
Sadly, this dark killing intent covered the sky with an ominous aura, making the beautiful mountains look like a grave.
"Marcus, now it will be terrifying. Take this protective talisman!"
Felix gave fatty some protective treasures, and they jumped into the pit.
The darkness covered everything and took the sight away.
After a long fall, Felix carefully landed and used some light magic to recover their sight.
Soon they saw a vast dark door, with a small crack on it, where the black fume was slowly escaping.
Felix sent this image to Liron and quickly received how to open the door safely.
"Stand back a bit Marcus!" Felix said as he took out a small dagger and slashed his arm for blood.
He chanted a weird oath in Blood Language and splashed a massive amount of blood on the door.
Felix went pale quickly from blood loss and heard the door creak slightly.
It opened just enough for them to enter.
Marcus and Felix stepped inside, and the door closed quickly.
Now they saw a big cube chamber, where a humongous figure was chained.
The figure had six arms, and blue metallic chains bound them.
The body of the giant figure was full of metallic spikes that trapped it even more.
Felix could see that this body was dead. However, the spirit inside was very much alive.
"Two brats?!!" An eery voice cackled.
Felix already informed Marcus that the spirit of the Titan is alive and how to absorb the bloodline.
He ignored the voice and used a lot of magic power to conjure a pure energy siphon to extract blood from the Titans body.
"HOW DARE YOU?!" The spirit tried to intimidate them with unimaginable killing intent, but it had no effect, as Felix used his Nature Law Rune to help withstand this pressure.
The spirit seemed deranged, but it still maintained its grace and quickly negotiated.
"Children! I understand you need the bloodline. However, I have no chance to escape from this prison without it!"
The pleading lasted a whole hour until mag sucked the last drop of blood from this giant.
"Felix, maybe we should release this pitiful guy?" Marcus said in a stupid voice.
Felix just sighed and pressed fatty's forehead as he refreshed his mental energy with Nature Law Rune's help.
Fatty quickly regained his sanity and looked at the corpse with fear.
This spirit had a charming influence in his voice, and it would eventually enslave Marcus if Felix didn't purify his thoughts.
"Begin bloodline spell, and absorb it! Liron said it will be quick, and you will be able to absorb it completely afterward slowly!" Felix said, and he just protected the fatty.
Marcus showed his excellent upbringing and immediately began casting cultivation art.
He drew blood runes on his skin without a frown and even stabbed the acupoints as deep as the spell recommended.
Quickly fatty looked like a bloody mess, and if not a weird red light flickering, he would be considered a dead man walking.
Felix was surprised to see such composure from this fatty and cast additional spells to isolate fatty from the shared space.
The spell activated with a humming melody as if a demon choir was singing in the background.
"ABSORB!" Fatty screamed with Ancient incantation and stabbed his own heart with his fingers.
This whole situation was a bloody mess.
The Titans' blood looked like a vast red air airship, and a small stream of blood pierced Marcus with the deadly flow.
"This world is insane..." Felix looked with bated eyes as he saw fatty reconstruct his body.
The Titan's blood thoroughly deconstructed fatty's body, and now only some red lights flashed in its stead.
Felix saw how the blood flowed inside Marcus's spot and was quickly compressed into a red cocoon.
"Let's see what is going on inside." Felix used a quick Life Law spell that allowed his eyes to scan the insides of living creatures.
He observed how fatty's body was destroyed, and only the spell maintained his soul and mind.
The blood of Titan created new organs and better bone marrows.
The process was quick, and blood overflow entered the heart space, marrow, and mind-space for future absorption.
Several tons of blood invaded the blood cacoon, and it vanished after a few hours.
The bloody sphere shined with red light and quiet returned to this empty chamber.
Only the screams of the evil spirit could be heard outside the protective spells.
Soon, Felix saw cracks on this blood sphere, and a human's shadow could be seen through the light.
"This isn't a fat slub of a human..." Felix looked at the manly shapes that showed a tall, almost two-meter figure with robust muscle frames.
The sphere shattered, and Felix saw the unfamiliar man step outside, and only a similar face showed that it was indeed Marcus.
"Hahahaha! I am so lucky to follow you, Felix!" Marcus laughed in his new manly low voice.
"Congratulations, you are no longer a fatty!" Felix laughed back and saw Marcus's shocked expression as he examined his new body.
They had some lively discussion for a few minutes, but Felix felt his token vibrate with new notifications.
"Mission Complete!" Felix was amazed by the accuracy of this thing.
The titans' bloodline absorption rewards were confirmed, and a new mission appeared.
"New mission: Enslave the evil spirit. Reward: Comprehension Steal Spell ( Special Tyranum Bloodline Spell - Unranked)."
Felix frowned as he quickly skimmed through the enslavement method.
"Felix, just tell this spirit you are from the Westgate Clan, and it will follow you willingly! Hahaha!" Liron left a simple message and no other orders to complete this mission.
"Fatty, I will try something weird. Protect my back." Felix sighed and took away all the protective spells, silencing the screaming spirit.
The huge gales with a harsh voice hit the duo, and Felix just looked at the Titans corpse with some disdain.
He harumphed and released his full mental pressure without controlling Mind Rune's wildness.
The spirit instantly shut up and waited in fear.
After all, the mind rune had innate effectiveness against ghost creatures.
"Evil Spirit, do you want to be my slave and leave this place?" Felix asked with a plain voice.
"Child, you must be delusional. Why would I enter new prison?" The evil spirit answered with a painful voice as Mind Rune almost ripped it out of the Titans Corpse.
"What if I told you I am from the Westgate Clan?" Felix showed no emotion, as he didn't know the spirit's reaction.
"WHAT?!" Even Marcus was startled by this scream, and they saw the spiritual body leave the corpse.
It looked like a small white orb with a tint of redness.
"Are you from the same Westgate Clan that rules the western void? One of the three major Clans in the cultivation world?"
Felix frowned as he didn't know about this information.
"Show me your token!" Spirit seemed to see through Felix's thoughts.
Felix took out the arc-light token from his mind-space, and West Gate's words shone with a powerful light.
"Young master, please accept this lowly servant!" The spirit sends Felix a part of his soul to enslave it most horribly.
The soul was the essence of any living creature, and it was essential for survival.
Felix could quickly kill this spirit with this soul part in his hands.
"Mission Complete!" He read the new information and saw a new spell in his token.
"Tyrannical Soul Search ( Tyranum Bloodline Spell ) - Use your bloodline as a medium to obtain comprehensions from a soul. The less the entity refuses the search, the less damage it will receive."
Felix saw a simple Mind Rune spell, where his Tyranum Bloodline would act as a crutch.
He quickly asked the spirit if it was willing, and it showed complete favor.
Felix chanted the Mind Rune and felt his weird archaic bloodline flow towards the soul.
He quickly received a lot of images, memories, and even total comprehensions.
However, he still needed time to fully absorb this tremendous amount of information.
