Battle

Taking the teleportation array he arrived at a nearby grass land. The mission description said that it'll take around 2 hours to reach the village after taking the teleportation array. Normally, it'll cost some money if you want to take the teleportation array but if you take it while doing a mission. The Sect you joined will pay the cost.

Running for an hour straight he arrived at the village. Looking at the burned houses and destroyed buildings he felt sympathy. He explored the village and looked at every nick and crany.

He saw something in a certain house. 3 people burned together. A Male and a female hugging each other and between them, A child. Looking at this scene a tear appeared between his cheeks. Back on earth he didn't have parents to take care of him and when he was abused and cheated, No one comforted him. Not even the Nuns and fathers at the church.

No one guided him ever since he was born. But even though no one guided him, he didn't fall to the wrong path and continued to have great achievements, but throughout those achievements. No one congratulated him wholeheartedly. He never felt loved. He was alone in the world and everyone looked at him with greed. Even his own girlfriend was looking at him as if he was an easy money making machine.

His heart was remembering the reason why he wanted to rise up the economy. He was just like a little kid who wants to be loved, but no one loved him truly. He felt his heart getting clenched and he was feeling really sad.

After reminiscing, he looked up at the heavens and saw that it was raining. He didn't know whether the water rolling down were tears or raindrops.

He continued walking, going from one house to another. He was looking if there were other bodies in the village. After getting 24 people he digged up 24 graves and put each of them on the grave. He closed his eyes and prayed to the 'Gods' even though he didn't know if it exists.

After giving each and every one of them proper burials he went back and sat down at the middle of the village and circulated his Qi. No one knows what Magnus is feeling right now. He opened his eyes and looked at his surroundings while letting out his Qi. The burnt houses suddenly floated and an unbearable Qi appeared around the village. He then tried to use one of his fire element martial Spirit. The fire Qirin beast. It looked like a horse but with the face of a fierce dragon. Unless one was on Xiantian 5th realm they couldn't summon their martial Spirit but only use its bloodline skills. He opened his eyes and his Qi suddenly change to hot flame. He rotated his arms and the houses were burned until not even ash could be left. This was the Fire Qirin's Extreme Flame which could burn anything below Xiantian Realm. The temperature of the fire depended on the person's Qi and Will.

He sat down for 2 days and continued to meditate. He knew that he needed to consolidate his cultivation since he had only been eating beast cores to improve. He also needed to have battle experience to increase his potential to help him in the long run. That's also the reason he went to take this mission. No one wanted to take this mission since it gave low rewards and high risks. There were also missions that will task you to collect herbs and stuff but he didn't take this since it has no use to him.

He's been sitting here for a long time and he suddenly heard a cry of a bird, but it was much louder than a normal bird and hint of beast Qi was mixed in.

He calmly opened his eyes and turned around looking coldly at the 2 dual winged bird. Magnus looked like the person on his dreams. Cold and Merciless. The dual winged birds were underestimating him since they were looking at him like he was food. Magnus, at the same time is analyzing the birds. He saw that both of them were at the peak 10th Houtian Realm and both were twins. Magnus' foundation wasn't very stable and his cultivation was only at 9th Houtian Realm and he didn't even bring a weapon, but despite the bad situation, deep in his eyes, excitement and battle intent were glued.

The two suddenly flew towards Magnus with fast speed. He also took a running position and his speed burst out. An explosion seemed to happen as he ran with full speed. Clashing with the vultures, a crater appeared on the middle and the next scene that appeared was surprising. Magnus was holding both the necks of the vulture. The expressions on the vultures face changed. They didn't underestimate this black haired youth in front of them anymore. The left vulture suddenly spat out a skill of it called fireball and the right vulture tried to scratch his shoulders. Magnus didn't expect that both of them used different moves. It seems like the left vulture focuses on its bloodline skill and the right vulture focuses on physical attacks.

The attacks landed on Magnus and he was pushed until he reached a certain distance. His face was burned like a smoke and his upper robe was torn and his shoulders were bleeding badly. He glanced on it for a second before facing the vultures once again with a smile plastered on his face this time.

He once again ran to the vultures and punched the left vultures beak, then while the left vulture was holding its beak with its wings. Magnus grabbed the right vultures neck and activated one of his sword fanged tiger skills "Ferociousness". All the beast above Xiantian realm has this skill and the skill affects the cultivators body even if he doesn't use his Qi. It strengthens the body and the cultivators battle intent would grow even more.

Magnus slammed down the right vulture and a pair of little fangs appeared on his teeth. He kicked the right vulture with Qi surrounding his legs and foot. The right vulture then spat out blood. He turned his attention to left vulture and saw that it dissapeared on its spot before. His back suddenly felt burned and the left vulture behind him once again appeared on his front, but this time Magnus turned around and suddenly grabbed its wings and teared a pair apart. Blood flooded out his wings and he retreated several steps. The other vulture attacked him by scratching multiple parts of his body.

Every attack of the vultures were critical and all of Magnus attacks were also critical. After fighting for an hour. The right vultures 1st pair of wings got torn too and one of his claws and feet were broken.

Both were on a standoff and no one seemed to win. The vultures nodded its head while looking at each other and suddenly a bright layer of light covered them. Magnus looked at them suspiciously and suddenly, the vultures became one and an extra 2 wings appeared on their backs. They also became bigger and they're size were comparable to a helicopter and they're cultivation changed to 10th middle Houtian Realm. "It looks like one of theirs skills and the strongest one too." Magnus thought.

Instead of feeling fear, he felt even more excited and wanted to fight it more. "This is so much fun!" He said.

They fought off again and this time. The damage Magnus received was even more than before. "Just a little more." The more Magnus fought, the more his cultivation was rising. He was already half step towards 10th Houtian Realm and he also started to use Martial Techniques.

They were back in a standoff again and this time the fireball that the vulture was charging was much, much bigger and hotter than before.

Magnus also used his strongest skill "Lightning Handclaw". This was the skill he created earlier when he was fighting the 2 vultures. He received enlightenment while fighting and the words "Lightining destroys all. All is destroyed by lightning." The lightning element can only be activated when one fights to his fullest without holding back and when one gets hit by lightning itself and survive. The Heavenly Tribulation of a Xiantian Realm can give a person a chance to activate their elements and only when your emotions and beliefs intertwine with the lightnings attributes will you activate it.

It's also the same with the other elements. Its unknown how Magnus activated an element before Xiantian, but maybe because the lighting's attributes intertwine with him. The "lightning claw" can cover any hand make a claw shaped lightning.

Both of them release their skills and a mushroom smoke appeared.

Both of them were thrown out and The vulture was heavily injured and it was crawling, While Magnus wasn't moving. "Is he dead?" Thought the vulture. It suddenly jumped up and down. Celebrating its victory.

Magnus didn't actually die and he was actually unconscious. His Qi Sea was expanding and many of his meridians were opening. All of his Martial Spirits were getting stronger. In his mind, He was floating in a black zone. He couldn't control his body.

"Dead again?" Someone asked. "You died back in the past already. Are you sure you wanna give up here? We won't succeed the ############ if you give up again." "What?" Magnus asked. He didn't understand the succeed part and he wanted to ask more. "Will you give up once again for this small matter?" Magnus mind shooked. He was affected and he replied "No." "Do you wanna fall down once again?" said the person. "No."

"Do you wanna rise and make your enemies fall?"

Magnus took a deep breath and replied in a confident tone. "Yes!"

The person shouted. "Then rise and destroy. Be a Phoenix and complete your nirvana. Rise step by step and achieve the power which you lost!"

Magnus' mind suddenly broke through and he woke up. He stood up and looked at a puddle. "Everything about me right now really looks like that person in my dreams." He sighed and smiled bitterly as he looked at his face that's reflected in the puddle. White hair, Red eyes. The burn in his face dissapeared. The scars in his body didn't heal and it started to bleed even more, but the color of his blood this time was red gold.

He looked at his body and checked his Qi sea, Martial Spirit and his meridians. "10th Houtian Realm!"
