Chapter 373: Massive Benefits!

....

After hearing Amonroth's monologue about some nonsense, Azmond narrowed his eyes before he said, "That's interesting, but I don't really care."

SLASH!!

His katana cleaved through the air at levels hundreds of times the speed of light, as the entire Twenty First Floor seemed to prepare itself for the damage that was to ensue!

And ensue it did, as Emu touched the face of Amonroth and immediately evaporated his existence in its entirety!

But it didn't stop there, as the unrelenting arc filled to the brim with laws and Qi collided with the mountains and barren regions of the Twenty First Floor!

BOOOOOOOOM!!

A loud explosion soon caught up to the damage inflicted, as a tenth of the Twenty First Floor was wiped off the face of the map!

That was tens of millions of miles of land completely destroyed with a single strike from Azmond.

"..." He looked at the seemingly endless pit that was created after he let down his katana before he saw the system notifications come in.

They eventually stopped coming in, as a new system notification appeared in front of his vision.

*Ding!* *Your combat power has increased from the 'Early Stages of Early Mahayana Realm' to the 'Peak Stages of Early Mahayana Realm'!*

Although Azmond wasn't able to absorb the existence of all the beings he killed, the strength boost he acquired boosted his power hundreds of times more than it was before!

However, the price to obtain such a strength boost was one paid in blood...

He had taken out over ten billion monster lives with that sword attack, and on top of the lives he reaped along with Amonroth in their fight earlier, the number had already exceeded fifteen billion.

One might think that he had just committed mass genocide for no reason; however, the only ones he had killed were the ones deemed 'heinous beyond repair'.

All the ones who were termed 'innocent'ish' had already been tagged with his 'Non-Main Party Member' feature and taken into his storage ring.

It wouldn't have normally been possible for Azmond to do something like this previously, but after reaching the Soul Transformation Realm, he had unlocked the 'Tracker' function, and additionally, he received improvements to the 'Party' function.

The 'Tracker' function allowed him to track anything he tagged with his divine sense or 'Non-Main Party Member' function.

While the improvements to the 'Party' function included things like in-depth analysis of all party members, active marking of each member of his party and their relationship, and 'Karmic' statuses.

The 'Karmic' statuses were the ones that dictated how far one leaned on the 'good' or 'bad' of things.

It was relatively subjective and wasn't always generalized, but it still gave Azmond a better idea of if someone was 'innocent'ish'.

And it was through this feature and his insanely fast thinking speeds that he was able to zip around the Twenty First Floor and discern the 'good' and 'bad' of every single monsterkin.

After a few weeks of doing that, he was able to separate all the 'innocent'ish' and the 'heinous beyond repair' monsterkin.

Furthermore, that was where the next improvement to his 'Party' function came in, as he was able to use the new 'instant transportation' to move all of his 'Non-Main Party Members' into his storage ring before his fight with Amonroth started.

Azmond now had tens of billions of monsterkin stuck in stasis inside his vast and seemingly infinitely spaced storage ring.

The storage ring was a mystery he had to uncover as well, but for now, he figured he'd just stick with the current mysteries he had following him around.

And speaking of one of those mysteries, he was right next to where Percival Moonweaver was trapped, so he focused his attention on the grayish-haired catkin woman down below.
