Chapter 87: Ground Spitting Snake

Void black strings constantly revolved around Cylius as they intertwined with each other, dancing in joy. 

If viewed by the spiritual perception, Cylius's figure would appear illusory and demonic as it would strike fear in their hearts. 

Not only was the circles within his eye constantly turning, looking like a small vortex, his other eye also seemed to have the line that was sticking out of the circle become long and short, changing quickly. 

While during the process, Cylius's body also changed its shape. At one moment, it would have a few tentacles wriggling while another, the tentacles would disappear as the body would turn illusory. Seemingly switching between reality and illusion. 

After a while it all turned back to normal. The only exception that in some places, his body would be nonexistent meaning that the person could see through it immediately. 

He was practically changing into a dimensional existence. If said, it would be that he was fusing with the void and while one portion of it would be in reality, the other would be in a space tear. 

Pointing at the wall, Cylius could see that an illusory ball had formed, trapping everything within. Whether it was air, element, rune strings, everything was trapped within. 

He had fully become a semi converted rune existence meaning that he would be able to suppress runes weaker and fewer. 

The ball that had formed enlarged in size quickly before it broke through the entire cave before growing until it stopped at the size of a mountain. After staying in that shape for a second, it seemed to have become unstable as the thin layer convulsed and changed shape before popping like a bubble. 

An invisible shockwave spread through the surroundings as all lifeforms who felt it immediately escaped in place. 

'I forgot to control my power' the power he possessed was immense now. With his dimensional rune, he even had chances of fighting normal peak runic existences with a comprehension of 80% and above. 

.....

It had been a total of 3 days since the hunting test began. Until it ends, 4 days were left including the day today. 

Cylius finally left the beach area and went deeper into the island. There were truly few gains to be had there. Danger was everywhere and due to it bordering the sea, it gave birth to many terrifying lifeforms. 

Before, he was only hunting within the border of the beach and the forest which was the reason he encountered few powerful monsters. 

The third-tier crab army was a common sight there. Only false domain existences, in other words, third-tier second stages could be considered the top of the hierarchy. 

The sea here was boundless and also dangerous at the same time. Due to it preserving an ancient aura and an environment rich with elements, he wouldn't even be so surprised to see that one or two domain existences slumbering there. 

Humanity was only able to exist until now because the monsters didn't have much unity. They had only been fighting against the various noble clans and not the entirety of the monsters. 

They were like a scattered bunch where only a certain group was fighting against humanity. 

Wild monsters that belonged to neither of the humans and the monsters were many. 

Not mentioning that each galaxy had the ability to groom a single fifth-tier, each supercluster had the resources to groom at least one sixth-tier.

That would be an estimate of 10 million fifth-tiers and ten thousand sixth-tiers. 

However, there were no such amount, maybe only 0.01% for the fifth-tiers and 1% for the sixth-tiers. After all, they weren't humans, they couldn't advance endlessly. They were restricted by their bloodline. 

Not to mention that bloodlines that could go to the sixth-tier was very rare, even the number of bloodlines that could go until the fourth-tier was limited. 

If humans had been in their place, maybe they might have already fulfilled that amount and have even had a few law beings. 

Fifth-tiers could challenge galaxies and even had the chance of defeating them while fourth-tiers could easily destroy a bunch of stars. They were practically energy sources on their own. 

From their domain, energy would be generated endlessly, making them like a star. 

Third-tiers could destroy planets and second-tiers could obliterate mountains and lakes. 

The only reason they weren't able to do it was because they were on special planets. 

Planets that were chosen by the federation so that the trainees wouldn't destroy them. 

For example, the survival planet had the Pit of Abyss and due to it, its elementals were way higher than the other planets. 

The spaceship they boarded was made from an entire planet. 

Due to the immense power of geneticians, they only inhabited planets that were special from the rest otherwise, they would be destroyed within a few years. 

These planets that were special and could resist the force of a third-tier was called Spiritual Planets. The reason for the name was that they were rich in spiritual energy and runes strings. 

Coincidentally, earth turned out to be a Spiritual Planet as well. When the collision began, it quickly adapted before sucking in huge amounts of spiritual energy and strengthening itself. 

From the statistics, it even turned out to be a top tier among the other Spiritual Planet that could house even fifth-tier beings. But since it was dangerous and their spirit source was in the hands of the planet, they could only seal it away. 

These spiritual planets were very rare, possibly just one among a million. 

So most of the planets were not useful, hence, resulting in them being material for humanity. 

Among the materials, the core of a planet was very precious and could be used to make a top-quality weapon. 

If Cylius were to try to destroy a normal planet, he could surely do it, albeit it might take some effort. 

The planet the Quintamore academy was residing in was a top-tier planet where it could house fourth-tiers so the lifeforms residing here were sure to be immensely different from the others. 

.....

"Mathew, look at that! There's a person fighting with a Ground Spitting Snake!" exclaimed a young woman with a white robe. She had a red earring on her left ear that was shining in splendid color. 

Not only was it attracting the surrounding flame elements, but it also seemed to be forming a red barrier over the young woman as she walked through the forest. 

Hearing the young woman's explanation, a person with black hair next to her looked over and a surprised expression also appeared on his face but it was soon hidden. After the surprise came a peaceful expression came as he said to the woman.

"Seeing from the battle power the snake is exhibiting, it must have already reached the semi converted stage. Within this island, only new students are coming here and seeing the robe, the one fighting must also be a student. Seeing that he had already become able to fight against a creature like that, he must be a genius hailing from an incredible family. 

If we are able to rope him into our group or even establish contact with him, the gains would be immense! So what we have to do now is to help the person when the Ground Spitting Snake attacks the man. We mustn't show ourselves before then so quickly hide your aura!" 

As he said, the young woman also hid her aura as she disappeared into the surroundings. 

The person fighting with the snake was Cylius. Since he had acquired such a strength, it was obvious that he was going to take full advantage of it. 

So he had been seeking and fighting monsters for the rest of the time. During the process, he knew that his identity might be leaked out so he intentionally wore his mask.

There was something he was interested about in the Ground Spitting Snake. It seemed to have come from a creature of the third-tier. So it would be able to achieve third-tier at most. 

Well, it certainly wouldn't be useful for Cylius, were he to advance, but when he was in the forest, he sensed that the egg of the snake gave off a very unique aura and he suspected that it was some kind of mutant. 

He was here to take a look at the egg and possibly plant a seed here. Yin creatures. In a sense, Cylius was very interested in making lifeforms become yin creatures. Yin creatures were a mix of demons and undeads but it was resembling the undead more. 

Instead of blocking its potential, he might even be able to ignite it, making it achieve far more than what it was determined to achieve. 

However, this snake had gotten into his path. But he didn't mind since he was also searching for strong monsters to hunt. The snake came out at a right time. 

As Cylus teleported behind the snake, a layer of rock formed on the snake's skin as a giant boulder materialized from air, flying right towards him. 

However, when the boulder hit him, there wasn't a trace of Cylius at all. 

Right at this moment, the pupils of the snake shrunk as its body tightened. 

"Gotcha" saying this, a long sabre appeared in air as it cut down the head of the snake. Although the length of the sabre would make it unable to cut down the whole head, it seemed to become blurry within the process before cutting the whole head down.

Cylius's comprehension of dimension helped.

Blood rained down as the giant body of the snake fell down with a thud. 

However, Cylius wasn't carefree at all. He could still detect the soul of the snake being there and slight movements of spiritual energy happening within. 

So he came flying down to inspect. Just as he was closing up, the headless body of the snake suddenly sprang up and fell down on Cylius. 

Seeing this, a sneer appeared on Cylius's face as his body suddenly disappeared midair. The body obviously didn't detect it as it was nervous, its time was short and if it didn't detect the human and kill it before it ends...

A semi convert like the snake wouldn't be able to find him at all. He was a dimension ghost! Even though he was half evolved, the likes of the snake can't see through his dimensional control. 

After ten minutes of bashing, the body of the snake fell down. When it fell down, its body dispersed into earth elementals before only a brown core that looked like mud was left.

But this time, Cylius could truly confirm that it was dead. 

This creature, which was kilometers long had died. 

It seemed like it was adopting a measurement that through the control of its soul, it would make the surrounding elements control the body. Within the timeframe, it would be able to show the full power of when it was alive or one that even slightly exceeds. 

However, the cost of this technique was that its body will be devoured by the elementals and turn into it, and no flesh and blood would be left. 

Only the core would be exempt from it.
