--------------------------

Just as he took a step back, a powerful bolt of Crimson lightning fell on his head from the sky while red hot magma started coming out from the ground under him.

Booom!!!!

Ashley felt his whole body shake violently. The blood flow in his brain had stopped working for a second after he was hit by the Lightning bolt. By the time his mind processed everything, he noticed that his shoes already had melted and now his foot was burning because he found himself standing on a pool of red magma.

Ashley groaned in pain. The Soles of his foot had been burned. If he didn't have the body of a Peak 5th-order, Ashley feared that his foot would have melted. Ashley created a layer of mana on his foot which protected his legs. But while doing that he had failed to keep his attention on Aditya.

Swoosh!

Crimson lightning cracked around Ashley. His entire body suddenly stiffened as he sensed Aditya behind him. Aditya vertically swung his black sword with the intention of ending Ashley's life. Just when the sword was 20 inches from Ashley's head, Ashley's body started separating in two. Dragon King watched the scene in utter shock. The process was very similar to the process of cell division. Aditya's sword strike did not hit any version of Ashley as the old man had now become two people.

Exactly identical, same looking, same height, same features, and same Aura, it made it impossible for Aditya to sense who the real Ashley was.

Body Division!

A special type of skill that was born from Ashley's unique class. The skill allowed Ashley to divide himself into two. Both of his versions had the same thought process and same thinking. It was like Ashley's consciousness has been transferred to two bodies. What made this skill truly terrifying is the fact that both versions of Ashley would have the power of a Peak 5th-order.

The skill body division also had another a second function which would only activate after the first function has been used.

However, this skill had one disadvantage. No skill in this world was perfect. Every skill had some form of weakness. So did this amazing 5-star skill.

Before Aditya could react both versions of Ashley punched Aditya's face. The first version punched his right cheek while the second version punched his left cheek. The punch was powerful enough to send Aditya flying more than 10 meters. When the punch connect, Ashley's golden spear fell from Aditya's hand.

Bang!

Aditya quickly got up from the ground while cautiously staring at both versions of Ashley.

Ashley's version number one picked up the golden spear. Both versions of Ashley lunged at Aditya from the left and the right sides.

Enraged Lightning Spell!

In an instant, Aditya lost a large portion of his mana. At the same time the sky which had become silent after the big explosion began to rumble as fierce Crimson lightning snakes began to swim in the dark clouds like real snakes. Following the Crimson lightning, more bolts of lightning started appearing. In less than two seconds, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet, and different colors of lightning bolts began to cover the entire sky.

At this moment, every bit of the dark clouds had a certain color of lightning in them. Because of all kinds of lightning, the sky was starting to shine very brightly. Even people outside the Heavenly Hemlock forest were able to witness this scene. While the beginner 5th-orders both from the mutant fire ant side and the elders from the Ethereal Empire who had come to the outer region of the Heavenly Hemlock forest to fight, all were shocked.

The number of bolts of lightning in the sky had exceeded the ten-thousand mark. Both versions of Ashley stopped. At this moment if one closely looked at both versions of Ashley, then one would see that both Ashley's bodies were trembling. His lips had turned dry. Red vines had appeared in his eyes. His old yet handsome face now looked lifeless as if someone had drained blood from his body.

At this moment Ashley just wanted to run away. The fear of being under more than 10,000 bolts of lightning was making Ashley feel as if he was about to be punished by heaven itself. "Is this the power of a God?" Ashley asked himself.

『Enraged Lightning Spell』

『3rd-order』

『Description: - Another special skill that was learned because of having Storm Marshall class. This is a special skill that once even harmed powerful gods and goddesses. This skill was said to be lost. Currently, the host is the only one possessing this skill』

『Function 1: - By consuming [1000+] mana, the user can summon a powerful bolt of chaotic lightning. Chaotic lightning is twice more powerful as regular lightning. Note: - this can be used once every 4 hours.』

"Go"

Aditya raised his right hand and pointed his index finger in direction of both versions of Ashley. Seeing this both versions of Ashley's eyes contracted to the size of a needle and started trembling.

Rumble!!!!!

The rumbling sound in the sky was so huge that it forced others to think if heaven was punishing them or what? The next second something very shocking yet very magnificent happen. Something that no being who has witnessed this scene today will ever forget.

As if being pulled by a magnet, all the ten thousand bolts of different colors of lightning rapidly started gathering in one direction. All ten thousand bots of lightning started combining themselves right above Aditya's head.

"Not good." Knowing that Ashley won't be able to survive this, the second version of Ashley ran toward the first version. Both of them nodded their heads at the same time. The first version of Ashley ran at the front and stood there to protect his second version. As long as one version survived, Ashley would always go on to live.

When the skill of Body division was used, Ashley had become two persons with one mind. Even if one of his bodies dies here, as long as the other lives, Ashley will also survive. This is what truly made this skill even more frightening. Meaning even if Ashley was gravely injured or bought to the brink of death, he can always use this skill to get a new body.

Though after one minute the effect of the body division would be over. Meaning that one of his versions with emerged with the other version. If in case one of his versions died, the skill would be deactivated while the other version would become the real Ashley.

All ten thousand bolts of lightning formed together to become a super bolt of lightning. The color of the super lightning bolt was rainbow color. This was the lightning that had once even killed Gods and Goddesses. Now it was about to kill a Peak 5th-order.

Far to the south, just outside the Heavenly Hemlock forest, Ronnie and the 2 million armies of the Ethereal empire were seeing this scene. Seeing a rainbow color lightning in the sky, Ronnie's entire body shivered. Even though he was more than 100 km away. Every single soldier, including their Emperor was shocked to their core.

Not even a whole second had passed when everyone was momentarily blinded by a bright flash of light. Not even the 5th-order elders and Ronnie were able to see anything because of the sudden bright flash of light. A 5th-order body is like the body of a God when compared to the body of a moral. The bright flashes that happened before the lightning strikes never blinded any 5th-order cultivator but this lightning flash was able to blind them for a few seconds. This itself explained everything Ronnie needed to know about the power of this attack.

Booooom!!!!!!!!!!!

A thunderous lightning-striking sound was heard throughout the entire Heavenly Hemlock forest. The sound traveled in every single direction. The sound was so loud that even the people in the neighboring empires that shared borders with the Heavenly Hemlock forest were able to hear it. Even the 4th-order guards of the Ethereal Empire's capital were able to hear the sound because of their enhanced stats.

The entire Heavenly Hemlock forest shook like it was the end of the world. The lightning-striking sound was so loud that many 1st and 2nd-order mutant fire ants in the inner region had lost their ability to hear anything. Their ears were permanently damaged. While the bright flash of light permanently blinded every single 1st mutant being within 50 km.

"It looks like I have changed the shape of the land itself." Aditya was standing in the largest crater that he had ever created with his attacks. The crater was more than 1000 meters deep and 5000 meters wide. Every single tree in 10,000 meters had been destroyed. The ground around the crater had been cracked.

"Haha! I guess I have just injured myself again. Cough.....!" Aditya coughed out a mouthful of blood. He did not expect his attack to be this powerful. As he was in the range of his own attack, Aditya was seriously injured even though he was immune to Crimson lightning to a certain extent because of his lightning manipulation skill.

Aditya fell to his knees. He then looked at the person who was lying at the center of the crater. The first version of Ashley tried to protect his other version. The old man even sacrificed his golden spear and tried to reduce the damage of the lightning. But what fell upon him wasn't something that he or anyone in Peak 5th-order was will be ready for.

The golden spear was nowhere to be seen. It was obvious that Ashley's favorite weapon had become dust. Ashley's black diamond earrings shattered into many small pieces. While his entire body was in a very worse condition. But it was a miracle that Ashley was still alive.

Lying in the middle of the crater, Ashley stared at the dark clouds which were beginning to disappear and reveal the blue sky. Looking at the blue sky, Ashley couldn't help but smile which caused blood to spill out from his mouth. He knew that even if he took a Peak 5-star healing pill, he will still die. His body had been damaged to the point where nothing in his world can save him. Maybe a legendary 6-star healing pill or a 7-star mythical pill that existed only in rumors can save his life. But who would waste such a precious life-saving pill for a 5th-order cultivator?

"Body division, one major weakness of his skill is that after one minute, the two versions will become one again. However, after body division was complete for the next 5 minutes, the user's mana, agility, strength, health, and stamina, all would be increased by [500+]." Ashley didn't seem to care about the blood that was coming out of his mouth as he spoke while looking at the sky.

Ashley couldn't help but chuckle at his own current situation. Even though his stats have increased by [500+], he knew that it was too late. Other than his head which now had become a football, nothing else of his own body remained. Everything was destroyed.

The only reason Ashley was still alive was because of his colossal amount of health. His current health reached [1700+]. However, his health was rapidly declining. Each second he was losing a huge part of his health. Each second bit by bit, Ashley's consciousness was fading. At the same time, the memories of his entire life began flashing before his eyes.

At a certain part in his memory, Ashley saw the image of a certain young beautiful noblewoman. Seeing the face of the woman, even though Ashley was at the end of his life, he couldn't stop from smiling.

In the end, a drop of tear rolled down from the right side of his face and fell to the ground. "Yuki, it seems I have failed to revive you. I am sorry. I am going to you, I hope we will be reunited again."

From the side, Aditya watched this in silence. Aditya couldn't say that he respected this man especially when his man had nearly killed him and was after Alicia and Noah. However, seeing the old man shedding tears while saying the name of a female at the end of his death, Aditya couldn't hate him anymore.

A small smile appeared on his face which was covered in blood. While looking at the blue eyes, his eyes gradually lost their colors and became lifeless.

『Ding! You have killed a Peak 5th-order cultivator. You have gained a large number of experience points.』

『Ding! Your experience point has been saved for future use.』

Aditya just closed his eyes and sighed deeply. Aditya just turned around and began to leave with his injured and exhausted body.
