Genesis Condensing

 "This is the second last peak," Ryker exclaimed, glancing at his current target. He had passed through five peaks already, all of which are useful for his women, but not for him.

 Then again, it is apperant with there being no more than 1 or 2 Tier 3 Genesis Beast in the area, much less stronger one.

 It make him wonder where Argaman Range get it reputation form. A question that is answered when he entered the area of the 2nd tallest peak.

 Immediately, he sense the might of Tier 3 Genesis Beast near the lower part of the peak. The higher he gets, the more powerful the beast, with him even able to spy with his Soul Sense the presence of Tier 4, and maybe even a pseudo Tier 5 Genesis Beast.

 His belief in the danger of Argaman Range restored, the silver-eyed man has climb the peak. After all, the presence of all the powerful beast meant the worldly energy in the area is very high, which would mean he can reach the Genesis Condensing there.

 Surprisingly, the climb is not that difficult. All of the powerful monsters did not have overbearing Soul Power, allowing him to use his to detect their whereabouts and dodge them.

 The Shadow Traversing Step is also the reason he managed to get far, as the concealment ability of the Technique allowed him to get so close, he could even touch one of the more powerful beast.

 But he did not have a death wish, so he did not do such thing. Instead, he traversed between the beast, while at the same time stole some resources in the area. From fruits, to herbs, anything that can be used are stolen.

 Not to mention, stealing the resource is part of his plan to cultivate at the top. With the beasts occupying a large portion of the area, there is no doubt there would be a powerful beast at the very top.

 For him to be able to cultivate there, or close enough to the peak at the very least, a distraction is necessary. His distraction is the battle between powerful beasts. The commotion would no doubt attract the attention of the other beasts, which will turn a single fight for resources, to a fight to the death.

 "Looks like the plan is going well," Ryker muttered, eying the combat between two powerful beasts. He had ignite the battle between the beasts stealing resources and pointing the culprit to one another.

 This results in the peak being an arena for a battle royal. He could even sense some of the weaker beasts already near their deathbed. Ryker closed his eyes, ignoring the greed that is forming in him.

While it would be a shame to let the corpses of the beasts, he could not attempt to grab the dead bodies, instead focusing his full attention to improving his cultivation realm.

 "Three, two, one," he did a countdown, which ended with a large eagle swooping in, targeting the injured Genesis Beast. Soon, the eage engaged with the other Genesis Beast, though Ryker did not have the time to care, as he ran towards the peak, intending to breakthrough the next major realm.

 Arriving at the peak, slightly out of breath, Ryker quickly set a place before sitting, absorbing the worldly energy as quickly as he could. After all, he could know how long the battle would last.

 Circulating the Celestial Energy Art, the worldy energy slowly transformed into Celestial qi, which then enter the Inner Realm. Ryker could feel his Inner Realm soon reach its limit.

 In half an hour, the limit was broken through as sounds of cracking can be heard. He keep absorbing and refining the worldly energy, pouring his heart and soul. It was there he realize his Soul helped him in absorbing the worldy energy, as it help him comprehend and used the Cultivation Art, though the effect is low.

 Pushing the stray thought away for now, he focused on the more important stuff, his cultivation to be exact. Soon, the barrier blocking him from reaching the Genesis Condensing realm read its limit before it broke, the sound of shattering glasses can be heard inside of him.

 The qi clump inside soon flat away, though Ryker quickly restrained it. While he breakthrough the Genesis Condensing, he still need to turn his qi into a more concentrated form, hence the name.

 The qi gathered soon clumped and compressed, the once massive qi could merged, condensing into droplets of qi. He keep on going, as he need to turn all the qi into liquid qi.

 As Ryker condensed his qi into liquid form, he also absorbed the worldy energy outside, slowly drawing the attention of some of the beast. The only reason why they did not attack is the fact it did not have anything to do with them.

 The only beast that is truly worried is the eagle beast, but it is currently besiege by several other beasts, due to its opportunistic approach. The only reason it did not leave the place for it nest is because it would allow one of the beast to attack it's back, and the fact the one near it nest is not strong to be a threat.

-x-

 Ryker concentrate, cultivating and turning the last of his qi into qi droplets. Soon,, the last of his qi turned into a droplet, before it joined in the rest, forming a pool of liquid qi.

 "That was hard," he said. The only reason he managed to do such feat in a relatively short time, considering his vast qi reserve that is, is because of his experience.. He quickly check his cultivation and was astonished.

 "This place is really beneficial for me," he exclaimed, for he is not at the 1st Stage, not 2nd Stage, but 3rd Stage Genesis Condensing, jumping two minor realm in the time he spent breakingthrough.

 "I should get out of here," he said. While his cultivation is still not consolidated just yet, he still in great danger, as there is no doubt some of the beasts would sense him due to his unstable Inner Realm.

 After all, while he did stabilise his cultivation after breakthrough, the same is not true for his raise in cultivation.

 That would require more time as well, preferably far from here.

 Ryker quickly used Shadow Traversing Step and get away as quickly as possible, praying none of the beast would spot him with his unstable condition.

-x-

 By some miracle, he was not detected, allowing him to recover and consolidate his cultivation. He test his using his qi, feeling it move smoother while packing a greater strength than before, th advantage of condensing qi.
