Shining Duos

Upon a dirt trail where the forest was getting more transparent and less dense were the four extravagant youths donning their black cloaks. Their current paths held minimal beasts nor humans, allowing them to take an easy time travelling.

Few days have passed since the green egg event, and Kazami and the girls were basking on such a slow, quiet trip for them.

All of them have been cultivating slowly as well, with some progression made in their realms. All of them did notice it became increasingly harder for them to advance as their Origin core needed a lot more origin Qi than they could guess.

The team didn't yet use the resources granted from Slaughtering God as they wanted a more stable environment to take it.

Lun Yuo speculated the reason behind their slow progress was because of their fusion god bloodlines while Brenda and Kuzumi didn't seem to care much about the subject.

Kazami, on the other hand, agreed with Lun Yuo on this theory by noticing his Origin Core had massively increased in size after the trial. And this wasn't ordinary by any means since most Origin Formation cultivators can never improve their cores sizes.

Yet not only for Kazami but for the girls to all of their cores grew exponentially far surpassing even peak Origin Formation cores!

Though for this team, they didn't let it disturb them as now Kazami was flanked to his left by Lun Yuo, who latched on to his arm like a loving couple. And to his right was Brenda, who held her arms under her bountiful b.r.e.a.s.ts, eyes closed, concentrating intensely.

Furthermore, right next to Brenda was Kuzumi, who had her hands in her cloak pockets slouched over, dawning a bored expression.

It was a tranquil walk for them as they were enjoying each other presences until,

"HEY GUYS!!" Brenda flashed in front of them, yelling without a care in the world.

"WHAT?!" Lun Yuo and Kuzumi nearly fell on their asses while Kazami went up and flicked Brenda on her cute forehead.

"Quit fooling around, despite how amusing it was, you nearly made a fool of those two."

"Heh, sorry, but I just felt my blood pumped up because I feel a breakthrough coming for us! Ah! Calm down, you two, you want to hear this!" Brenda told them, rubbing the spot where Kazami flicked her feeling strangely comfortable from it.

Lun Yuo though was creepily smiling while Kuzumi was sending her an annoyed glance.

"Dear Brenda, I await for it then, and it better meets my expectations..."

"Just spit it out already."

Clearing her throat and also ignoring the two heated gaze thrown at her Brenda said,

"Yoh, look, I felt several bloodl.u.s.ts sensations coming a little bit away from us, and their someone with a huge blood l.u.s.t out of all of them. So because we haven't been able to advance regularly, it's time for us to do it in battle!"

Hearing her explanations did get the three to think as it's conventional knowledge cultivators can experience a breakthrough in a fight. And there are many ways it could happen, such as being pushed beyond their limits or gaining sudden enlightenment.

"I see she's right; the group who fighting are a bunch of Heavens Rulers with the strongest being at most at the intermediate levels." Lun Yuo had closed her and spread out her spirit sense in the environment, allowing her to sense it more clearly.

"Alright! It's decided let's go, I've been itching to play around again. And this time, if we want to break through, we're taking them head-on!" Kuzumi straightened up and held a playful smile, stretching her arms out as well.

"Spoken like a true woman of culture! Are you two up for it?" Brenda was flashing them a wide crazy toothy smile eagerly awaiting Kazami and Lun Yuo responses.

"From what I'm sensing and your words Brenda. There is some battle going on over there, and one of them is sitting out. It's enough for us, what do you think Kazami?"

As he was the only one who hasn't spoken up, Kazami merely cracked his neck in response telling them,

"Like Kuzumi said it's already decided, so let's not waste time here."

…

Sitting on a large log, an good looking man was lazily observing a battle unfolding below him. He was dressed in sleek black leather armor with a black skull design his back.

His bearing and posture showed how little he cares for the battle and wanted it to quickly end. It was his two teammates against a group of four, yet his teammates weren't having many problems.

The man was so relaxed and calm because of his presence and aura that he radiated was a sixth level Heaven Ruler!

A level no ordinary person can readily achieve. The man knew the battle below would have a predictable outcome, almost leading him to close his eyes until he suddenly jumped high in the air.

'BANG!'

The log he sat upon was destroyed, but he didn't have time to question it as he swiftly put his hand up, forming a heavenly Qi shield.

'BANG!'

Whatever clashed with him caused a significant impact on him as he shudders a bit, but it wasn't anything he couldn't deal with.

Looking up, he saw what attack him, a white Qi sword, but as he did notice the sword, the whole situation change.

Four tremendous aurae locked on to him, much jolting the man. During these two attacks, he felt not a single bit of Qi or power, but out of the blue, their strength had dramatically increased.

He was going to grab the sword only for it to disappear, and from below him, a purple flower, dark red lightning, and light blue lightning came flying at him.

Cl.i.c.k.i.n.g his teeth the man clasped his hand together forming a purple fire barrier around himself,

'BOOOM!'

The attacks exploded on impact, slightly rocking the man a bit, but he stayed stable none the less.

Dropping his barrier, he finally got a good look at his attackers who abruptly stop. And he couldn't believe his eyes. Three celestial beautiful fairies maidens and one remarkable, striking handsome male youth.

To add on to their already perfect looks was their divine blood state, which gave the four a godly stature.

Kazami and the girls unhesitatingly went all out from the start as they knew it would take more than simple surprise attacks to take on a sixth level Heaven Ruler.

The man's mind was at first taken aback by their appearance but was even further taken aback, sensing their levels as all of them were merely in the second level of Origin Formation!

And yet they all exuded an aura that together could possibly even match his other two teammates.

"Tch, I don't know if your hiding or suppressing your cultivation or not. Nor do I really care, all I want to know is why the hell did you four disturb my rest?!" After those initial attacks, the man knew better than to underestimate these sudden demons that appeared out of thin air.

He couldn't even grab the sword plus could only hastily defended against their combined attacks to avoid injury.

"Dead people talk too much," Brenda mocked, grabbing Kazami's hand and vanishing from the man sight.

Such speed, the man couldn't comprehend and didn't have the time to as several purplish-green tentacles rushed him.

Snapping his fingers, a fire lasso appeared in his hand and was preparing to destroy the leviathans tentacles until he saw a soul stopping sight.

Face to face was purple silver eyes that shined profoundly.

From the depths of the man's soul, he felt as if a hand was tightly grasping it freezing his body.

A white Qi sword at the same time flashed to his face while also purple Qilin scales claws were tearing for his back.

Yet surprisingly, for the man, he instinctively bit his tongue, burning his blood essence, violently fighting against whatever affected his soul. It was enough for him to bite down the white Qi sword and tank the scale claws.

"F.U.C.K OFF!" The man roared out in pain and frantically blasted out his purple fire Qi at full power.

His blood essence full power attack sent the three on him crashing hard into the ground while Lun Yuo felt her back burn up as her tentacles were caught in the fire.

She immediately recalled her tentacles still feeling burnt; the other three bounced right back up, coughing up blood in the process.

Their bodies ached as this was the sixth level Heaven Ruler; even if they could crazily jump in realms, this was a power that could still severely damage them.

The man now was in an enraged state and cared for nothing else but to kill these youths as he immediately dashed towards Lun Yuo at breakneck speed.

Lun Yuo only had a second to bring her tentacles in front of her as the man swiped down his purple fire lasso at her. His purple fire lasso knocked Lun Yuo away, who felt her back burned even greater after being attack.

But before the man could rush down Lun Yuo once again, a white Qi sword flashed in his face, which even manages to crazily raise his killing intent more.

Coating his hand in purple fire Qi, he clashed with Brenda sword knocking her away while his hand bled from taking it head-on.

He didn't have any time to rest; however, to his sides, a dark red-purple lightning fist came from his right, and light blue lightning scaley fist came to his left.

Once again, the man had to use his fists to hastily counter, but once he caught the fist, the twins smiled in sync. Their feather markings lit up as their hands shined silver.

"AHHHH!" The man felt as if someone dunked acid on his hand and promptly flung the twins violently into the ground.

"HAHAHA! YES, THIS WHAT I NEEDED!!" The man heard an unhinged yell as this time, several white golden Qi sword appeared all around him.

This attack gave him no options to run from but to forcefully counter, except madness appeared in the man eyes as he roared,

"SKULL DESTRUCTION!" The man pounded his c.h.e.s.t spitting out more blood essence as a giant purple fire Qi skull formed above him. As soon as it appeared, the pressure for all four of the youths frantically increased.

Brenda's sword was even burned away as she flashed around to Lun Yuo and the twins. Before the split second the man attack went off Brenda had pushed her speed to the absolute limit and got the other three next to her.

No words needed as they all gather their powers on creating a barrier as,

'BOOOOM!'

An enormous purple fire explosion went off as the surrounding forest was burnt to a crisp. The cliff they were on tremble while wind and dust kicked up around the place.

Once the dust cleared down from the explosion, the man was panting and sweating hard as he never would've thought he would get pushed to his extremes.

His hand was still racked with pain and felt a bit of destruction Qi inside him. But the man pushed down the pain for now.

Looking around, he thought for sure the youths got annihilated; only his senses betrayed him. A few feets from him, the four teens on their knees panting and sweating a similar position to the man.

Seeing this, the man grinned savagely and was preparing to cruelly torture them as he brought out his purple fire lasso. Only he had to stop in his tracks when he faced overwhelming pressure.

From Kazami and the girls' bodies as they were frantically using all of their powers, pure Origin Qi was getting crazily absorb by them. Their Origin cores expanded farther and were taking more of shape until,

'Ka-Cha!'

They broke through to the third level of Origin Formation!

Out from their bodies, blue fire lightning Qi, red ice lightning Qi, grass Qi, sword, and slaughtering Qi raged about the area.

Their powers experience a big boost, and not without a second to spare, they all rush the shocked man.

The man however quickly got over it and held out his hand yelling,

"ROARI-" But he was cut short as Kazami eyes gleamed an even brighter purple silver than before.

"Freeze!" This time the man felt frost growing on his body, and his soul violently tremble.

'Chi!' A white golden sword plunged into his stomach, purple scales claw ripped into his neck, a purplish-green flower stabbed into his eyes, and finally, a dark red lightning hand tore into his c.h.e.s.t.

From the constant burning of his blood essence, the repeated energy drain off defending their attacks, and Kazami stronger than ever eyes, the man simply had little ways to react.

Once he gazed into Kazami's more powerful eyes, it spells his end as this battle rapidly wears him down.

"Ugh..." The man coughed up blood as he couldn't even believe he would die this way. And to think it really was by Origin Formation juniors as consciousness left him ultimately.

Once he was dead, the four youths didn't stop there as their attention instantly turned over to the battle below the cliff, which had temporarily stopped because of them.

A feral smile grew on all of their faces as Kuzumi exclaimed,

"The party is almost at its end!"
