Cultivation Online novel Chapter 2458

Chapter 2458: Fighting Zaaran

"Bastard, how did you acquire so much Eternal Essence as a mere mortal?!" Zaaran questioned Yuan after hastily avoiding his attack.

Although the attack wasn’t powerful enough to destroy his avatar, it would have undoubtedly damaged it had he attempted to block it.

"Does it really matter how I acquired it?" Yuan calmly responded.

"A trillion years worth of Eternal Essence isn’t a massive amount, but it’s not insignificant, either! There’s no way a human can acquire so much without the help of another Eternal! Who is the one helping a bastard like you?!" Zaaran shouted.

"Your mom," Yuan replied with a serious look on his face.

"My... what?"

Yuan’s unexpected answer left Zaaran stunned speechless.

Since Eternals were born from the void, the very concept of "parents" didn’t apply to them, so Yuan’s remark would have gone over the heads of most of their kind.

However, Zaaran—familiar with humans and their customs—recognized the insult almost immediately. His body trembled with fury, and his aura erupted like a volcano.

"You little bastard! How dare you insult me as if I am a mortal!"

An immense amount of Eternal Essence that surpassed Yuan’s trillion year’s worth gushed from Zaaran’s avatar.

"About a trillion and a hundred billion years, huh?" Deemo muttered to himself.

Once an Eternal’s accumulation of Eternal Essence surpassed a certain threshold—typically around a trillion years—differences of a few thousand, or even a few million years, became negligible.

Although Eternal Essence was immensely powerful, allowing Yuan to overwhelm higher-level opponents with even a small amount, it was only possible against mortals and beasts, and the same did not hold true when facing Eternals.

After unleashing his Eternal Essence, Zaaran made his move, releasing a devastating wave of energy that surged toward Yuan like a tidal wave... one that was massive enough to easily consume an entire world or two.

Yuan confronted Zaaran’s attack with an attack of similar fashion, releasing more Eternal Essence than before since he hadn’t gone all out yet.

"He was still hiding more Eternal Essence?!" Zaaran exclaimed in shock when Yuan’s attack completely cancelled out his own.

Of course, Zaaran wasn’t worried that he might lose since he was also holding back plenty of Eternal Essence, as he did not want to kill Yuan by accident.

Meanwhile, Deemo felt a shiver in his real body when he watched a human who wasn’t even a True God clash against an Eternal without losing.

’This is it! This is what a perfect being should be capable of!’ He trembled with excitement after seeing what he envisioned to be the perfect being existing befoe his very eyes.

To Deemo, a perfect being was someone that surpassed common sense—someone who could achieve the impossible.

Although the Transcendents he created were immensely powerful in their own right, none of them could wield Eternal Essence and fight Eternals like Yuan, who was still very far from being a True God.

"There’s still so much room for improvements!" Deemo suddenly shouted loudly.

’What would happen once he reaches True God? What about Absolute God? What if someone who could wield Eternal Essence without being an Eternal becomes one? Oh, the possibilities!’

Deemo, who had spent a lot of effort and time trying to create perfect beings, could barely restraint himself from experimenting on Yuan at this moment.

In fact, Deemo saw potential in Yuan—in Tian Chenyu long ago, hence why he didn’t kill Tian Chenyu or destroy his soul, as he was capable of doing both with ease.

However, it wasn’t just Deemo who was excited about Yuan. Even his opponent, Zaaran, could hardly contain his excitement.
