Extra's Death: I Am the Son of Hades novel Chapter 796

Chapter 796: Fighting A Third Step Cultivator

"The Qi is drying up from the world. Now, most Cultivators cannot do anything for the fear of wasting their Qi. There is not enough Qi to absorb from the air. This is the reason why we had to shut our mouths, and make peace with those disgusting Martial Artists (Realm Divinity Gods/Extreme Gods) even though we are stronger. No Cultivator wishes to battle and waste their Qi."

Cultivator Bai Zhen grins and add,

"What I said is only for Fourth Step and above Cultivators. They are the ones who are facing problems due to lack of Qi. For Third Steps and below like me, we can make do with the Qi in the air. If you are thinking about fighting me, I will entertain you gladly."

A human needs a glass of water to quench their thirst.

But an ant would need only a drop.

Similarly, the current amount of Qi in the world was too lacking for Fourth Step and above Cultivators.

The amount of Qi they needed was too vast.

But weaker Cultivators had no problem with Qi concentration in the air.

"Haaah, so that was it." Neo sighed.

"Yes, it is. Now come quietly with me. If you help me to analyze you, it will be less painful for you."

’Heavenly Record, activate the Life Flame Ignition.’

This time, Heavenly Records did not complain.

Neo’s Life Flame and Consciousness was ignited instantly.

Neo poured out everything, each of his techniques, physical force, and Authority, to attack Cultivator Bai Zhen.

But...

"Are you trying to fight? Don’t bother. The difference between us is of two Steps. You seem injured on top of that."

Nothing happened.

Cultivator Bai Zhen withstood Neo’s attacks like they were a gentle breeze.

As excepted, the gap of two Steps was too much to jump.

[Master, only half-minute is remaining. Please stop using the Life Flame Ignition or you will die.]

Neo ignored the warning of the Heavenly Record and gazed at Cultivator Bai Zhen calmly.

"What are you going to do with the village?"

"We will keep collecting the sacrifices. I apologize but the promise I gave you was fake."

Cultivator Bai Zhen flashed a grin.

Neo was not surprised.

A sigh escaped his lips.

He closed his eyes, sensing the two Avatars who were on their way to meet him.

’I’m sorry.’

’But it seems our reunion would have to wait.’

Opening his eyes, Neo calmly stared at Cultivator Bai Zhen before looking at the sky.

"Hmmm? Is there something up there?"

"I was just thinking that even though the Cosmos doesn’t have a ’Heaven’ we do have a Universal Will."

World Energy (Qi) began to trickle into Neo’s existence.

With it, Neo activated the Trait he had acquired when he reached Exalted rank.

It was something he had no opportunity to use until now.

"...What are you doing?"

Cultivator Bai Zhen’s face hardened, sensing the unique energy signature from Neo.

"Universal Will’s function is to maintain Order. Whenever someone would break a Universal Law, they would be smitten down by the Universal Will."

"I asked what are you doing!?"

Cultivator Bai Zhen’s face was filled with anger and fear.

He swiftly looked above.

There...

Clouds were gathering.

"Stop trying to make a breakthrough! Even if you reach Second Step, you cannot escape my grasp!"

The wrathful voice failed to hide his fair.

The energy radiating from Neo was similar to the presence one had when they made a breakthrough.

And breakthrough brought down a Heavenly Tribulation.

Cultivator Bai Zhen would die if a Heavenly Tribulation were to fall.

Although he said a Third Step like him was not affected by lack of Qi, it was not completely true.

He could not use techniques that used too much Qi, only those that used a little.

It left him unable to draw out the true power of a Third Step.

In simple words, he could not defend himself if a Heavenly Tribulation were to fall now.

"I said stop! Or I will kill—"

The unique energy signature around Neo disappeared.

He had exhausted all his Life Flame, and was soon going to die.

"Hahaha! So your breakthrough failed! That’s right! I told you that you should just obediently follow—" 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

"Look above."

At those ominous words from Neo, Cultivator Bai Zhen cranked his neck and....

"Ah...! Ah! Why is the Heavenly Tribulation still there! You failed your breakthrough! It should’ve dispersed!"

"Shepperd of All Paths. That’s what I used."

Cultivator Bai Zhen snapped his gaze towards Neo.

He wanted to desperately find a way to survive this situation.

"It’s a trait that allows me to interfere with Universal Laws. But it brings the wrath of Universal Will. I wonder, if this world has a Heaven, how did it feel when I tried to take control of it just now?"

Cultivator Bai Zhen was stunned.

This man.... had what? He tried to take control of Heavens?

The claim was so absurd that Cultivator Bai Zhen’s mind could not comprehend it.

But there was no time.

Cultivator Bai Zhen quickly snapped back to reality.

Knowing escape was impossible, he began to set up multitude of defenses.

"Hey..."

Neo suddenly called out to him, who was going mad from fear, while preparing his defenses.

"What do you have to say!? You bastard! I’m going to kill you after this is over—"

"Let’s die together."

Cultivator Bai Zhen snapped, seeing the small smile.

But before he could do anything...

A bolt of lightning falls from the Heaven.

The world went white—

When Neo came to, everything in the vicinity had vanished for several kilometers.

Trees were gone. Rocks were gone. The ground itself looked as if someone had scraped the world clean.

Seeing such destruction in a realm where even a Third Step could only destroy a few dozen trees with one attack was chilling.

It spoke to length about the strength of the Heaven.

Neo lay on the ground and tried to breathe.

Pain took every part of him. He couldn’t tell how much of his body was left.

The earth beneath him had become glass, and every movement sent white fire through his bones.

He wanted to scream but his throat would not work.

A wet, crackling noise came from near him.

It was from Cultivator Bai Zhen.

His corpse was charred and melted.

Air escaped from the broken body in tiny hisses that sounded like someone weeping.
