Fighting

The battlefield was raging as cultivators, mainly Foundation Establishment, fought each other. Among them were the Golden Core cultivators. They commanded the Foundation Establishment cultivators and expected them to obey their orders just like they obeyed the orders of the Nascent Soul Elders.

"Hmm. Let's take care of that Early Golden Core first." Magnus spotted a group of Midde Foundation Establishment cultivators fighting another squad, but he ignored them as he approached their squad leader. Their squad leader, the Early Golden Core cultivator, was fighting an enemy of the level.

"Finally! We finally have reinforcements from the sect!" The squad leader sighed with relief, but quickly went back to focus. He still hadn't forgot there's was an enemy of his level fighting him.

Magnus glided to the enemy squad leader's back and stabbed with his sword, the sword plunging through him. Magnus pulled the sword out, the man's intestines coming along with the sword.

"Tchh! How disgusting!" Summoning some water with his Qi, he washed the guts off the sword.

"You! There's no time for washing your sword. Help me with those other cultivators!" The squad leader yelled at Magnus in fury.

Magnus just ignored the squad leader and made his way to the main fighting area.

"Yo--" The squad leader watched with anger as Magnus' figure disappear into the battlefield.

When Magnus finally arrived at the battlefield, he wanted to fight someone two small realms above him. In the world of cultivation, an ordinary cultivator could only fight someone his level, like a Early Golden Core fighting another Early Golden Core. These cultivators would usually end up only being inner sect disciples when they died. An Early Golden Core fighting an ordinary Middle Golden Core could be done by most current inner sect disciples. An Early Golden Core fighting an ordinary Late Golden Core could be considered a genius. The sect would usually pour many resources into him. This would be applicable to all Big Realms, from Foundation Establishment to Spirit Severing. Magnus on the other hand, was a lot different than these "geniuses". He could fight AND kill ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators as a Late Golden Core, the current cultivation he had. No one in the sect knew this because even if he told them or even demonstrated it, they wouldn't believe it. It was common knowledge that the gap between a Peak Golden Core and Early Nascent Soul couldn't be overcome, no matter what. The sect would probably think he was hiding his true cultivation, so didn't even bother explaining to them.

"Hahaha! I'm such a genius! On top of that, I'm also sooooo handsome." Magnus conjured a mirror to admire himself for the final time.

"Okay....I have to take this seriously. Even though I can kill Early Nascent Soul cultivators, it will still take some effort." Magnus put on his stoic face and picked an Early Nascent Soul cultivator.

"That guy would do!" The Early Nascent Soul cultivator looked at Magnus mockingly, seemingly ignoring him.

"Hehehe....a Late Golden Core ant dares to fight me?" The Nascent Soul cultivator kept ignoring him, looking away from him because he knew an ant like Magnus couldn't, in any way, hurt him. As he turned looked away, he suddenly felt a sense of crisis overcome his body. Grabbing a random Foundation Establishment cultivator next to him, he set him in front of him, blocking the slash that that almost injured him.

"Who dares sneak attack, I your father?!?!?" The Nascent Soul cultivator had a look of fury as he demanded the so-called sneak attacker. The death of the Foundation Establishment cultivator hadn't irked him in the slightest. He looked around, but didn't see anyone except the Golden Core ant.

"Wait! Could it have been this ant?" The Nascent Soul cultivator didn't dare believe this thought, but he still looked pensive.
