CHAPTER 36: CONTROL POINT

The other three looked at the scene with worry, the three of them working together couldn't escape the attack unscathed not to talk of Mark who was weaker than them. They wanted to help him but they were surrounded by the people they were fighting with. Mark just looked at the attack surrounding him.

"Shadow shield" His shadow rose and surrounded him. The attack all impacted the shadow shield but they all sunk in like they were transported to another dimension. His ability cells were rapidly draining but he did not mind it. He looked at the sword in his hand,

"Expand" The place that looked as if it was fragmented in his sword started to turn long and expand. The sword extended up to ten meters and expanded up to five meters. The attack had finished, their attack was comparable to an early tier five attack.

"Final stake" thread-like sword intent entered the sword and accumulated into it. He recalled the shadow shield and slashed out. The sword intent gushed out from the sword and covered them like a river before they could do anything. Amelia, Martin, and Charlotte heaved a sigh of relief when they saw that he was unscathed but were surprised at his power. His sword intent dissipated and they were already minced, they could not survive the dense sword intent. Two tier-three experts died at the hands of a tier-two expert. Mark walked towards them and took their rings.

The other tier three expert saw what happened, he looked at Mark as if he was looking at a monster. He was already getting weak because different cuts were on his body. Tietie (the steed) was far stronger than him, he was only on the defensive side. He tried to escape and because of that he made a mistake and was killed by Tietie. The other three also quickly disposed of their enemies and they walked towards Mark while looking at him surprised.

"How did you get so strong" Martins asked.

"I cultivated" he answered.

"Why is our difference this large, we are both in the beginning stages of tier 2," Charlotte asked. He just smiled.

"It has not ended," Liz said. Black smoke rose from the bodies of the death guard and turned into an eye above them.

"No" Mark quickly removed his blindfold.

"Infinite dimension" His dimension engulfed him and the eyes.

"Disintegrate" He used his skill. The eyes started to disintegrate.

"I will get you" a voice came out from the eyes in its final moment.

He used a blindfold on his eyes again and appeared in front of the other three.

"Are you okay? " Amelia asked him.

"Yes," He answered. They entered the ship.

Back in the infernal castle,

"Tell the death guards outside, ten groups should form a group so that they can capture the last death order target. He is far stronger than we thought" A voice was heard from the castle.

The three were in the ship, they were smiling widely at their spoils of war. They were only able to get 1000 universal crystals from the old man and the ship and some unimportant things, but as for the death guards, they were amazed by what they saw. Inside their ring were other rings which shows that they had killed a lot of people. The lowest of them was carrying up to ten thousand universal crystals and at the end of the day, they gathered up to ten million universal crystals, a lot of weapons, spaceships, armor, and skills. He was a little disappointed when he could not see their skills.

"When someone passes the test to enter the infernal court, they are given three skills, the first one is the cascade eye which conforms their eyes so that they can be able to merge with the special eyes. The second one is the body-conforming art which allows their body to be able to conform to the attribute of bloodlines and the armored beast art which is used by absorbing the blood of the arcane beast they are attuned to through a special method and also absorbing its soul" Liz told him.

"That must be inhumane" he answered.

"The end product of the infernal court is to train their experts to be the strongest and in ancient times, there were varieties of special eyes and six god eyes which conform to the rule of the world and they are the world eyes which control all minor elements, the space-time eyes, the samsara eyes, the origin eyes, the void eyes, and the divinity eyes. The original eyes have been lost, they can create so even in ancient times, they could only be wielded by the deities. Removing that from the option, they have five god eyes and varieties of special eyes" Liz said.

"How did they get that" Mark asked.

"Their land is the land of the heaven automaton race in the ancient times, this race is known to conform bloodlines and create the eyes, so they got their art and also the skills and then they want to use it to take over the world" Liz answered.

"Hmm," He sighed.

"The ones you are facing now are just a preamble of what is to come, if they reach the fifth tier, then they can merge with the bloodline their body has modified into and also merge with special eyes, then they will stronger," Liz told him

The journey continued for three days, the space was vast so they did not meet anybody. It was also boring, especially for Mark who was not doing anything other than looking at the space because he had nothing to do.

Inside the spaceship

"We are about to enter the control region," he said as he looked at the map. At some intervals of the tunnel is a control point, it is a place where every spaceship has to pass through to continue its journey. Inside the control point, they could repair their ship and also get to refill their ship with universal crystals and also get some essential things that they can use on their journey and also rest.

They decided to stop there so that they could get some important cultivation materials. They had not been able to get cultivation material because they did not have any universal crystal back in the galactic business empire. They also need to buy food, they are hungry. Even though they don't depend on food to survive, they still need some essential nutrients to survive. Amelia and the others also wanted to get a weapon. All in all, they need a lot of things.

"Why are we not experiencing any pirates" Amelia asked as they entered the control point.

"They must have probably thought that we are powerful because only powerful cultivators usually travel with a spaceship" Mark answered as they got out of the ship. Yun Dong also got down but he was chained. They abducted him when they were attacked and got to his family, they wanted to use him to get universal crystal from his family. They parked their ship in the refilling station and gave them one hundred universal crystals to refill the ship.

"His guard must be waiting for us," Amelia said. They walked out from the dock.

"Hmm," Mark noticed that a person was following them. He smiled as he left. They must have thought that they were easy targets because they were only tier 2 experts. And they also have their ship, a man's treasure is his downfall. They walked towards the inn at the control point and entered. There, they saw an old man waiting for them, they walked with Yun Dong towards the old man. The latter saw them and stood up while flashing them a smile.

"I'm Elder Dong" Elder Dong introduced himself.

"Ok, have you prepared what we ask for" Mark asked. Elder Dong passed a ring to them, Mark peered into it and saw Universal crystals in it and he smiled. They just made another one hundred million universal crystal like that. They used Yun Dong to take one hundred million crystals from his family. They handed him to the old man while the old man quickly untied him.

"Young master are you ok" The old man asked. Yun Dong nodded his head. The old man bowed his head to them with a smile and thanked them before leaving the inn. His smile turned into an evil look when he got out.

"Humph, they dare to slander us, I will make them pay. I've already set up an inescapable net for them, they won't be able to escape and you will get to f*** the lady you want" Elder Dong told Yun Dong.

The four walked out from the inn and walked around the control point, they soon arrived in front of a restaurant. On top of the restaurant was "White Phoenix" which shows the name of the restaurant. They walked into the restaurant, a waiter flashed them a smile as they entered.

"Welcome respected cultivators, what can we do for you" The waiter asked.

"Take us to the highest floor," He said. The waiter was surprised, he looked at the four-tier 2 experts.

"Do they have that much money and even if they have that amount, don't they know the control point" The waiter looked at them weirdly. Most people like them who flaunt their wealth in the control point usually have accidents on their way because the control point is a house for pirates.
