Chapter 83
83 Legendary Life
Layton ignored the other giants who perceived him, he leisurely waltzed past them and as he passed the giant creatures had already fallen to the ground their neck and spinal cord severed and the clean short nails on Layton’s left palm was stained a tinge of crimson, the result of Layton’s using his palm like a knife to run through the giant’s nape.
“Still not precise enough,” Layton muttered to himself as he controlled his palms to reject the bloodstains.
‘Crack ‘
A sharp breaking sound resounded bringing Layton out of his reverie, it came from Tang qi, around him a solid bubble of water had enveloped him the bubble was engraved with vague lines which seemed to outline the drawing of a snake like creature. The appearance of the bubble gave Layton a bad feeling, another Crack appeared on the bubble, Layton fully opened his perception and started to stare at the Tang qi through his psionic gaze Layton could perceive that the energy core of the qi practitioner which was located in the abdominal region of the body resembled the bubble outside and also had similar cracks in the same position as the one outside Layton could feel both of them would break in a matter of seconds, the bubble on the outside was full of enormous turbulent water attributed qi and the outlined figure on the bubble was infused was becoming increasingly agile giving one the feeling of being alive.
Layton watched this scene intently although he knew he should stop Tang qi but his intuition was telling him to keep on watching as there would be immense benefits, sure enough the next moment something that interested Layton occured, from the depths of the qi practitioner a part of his soul emerged blending into the lines on the still cracking bubble the lines on the ball suddenly detached and turning into reality.
Layton watched with fascination as the fragment of Tang qi soul slowly changed and blended with the qi that made up the bubble, the subtle changes in the soul fragments fascinated him, although Layton was a champion he did not have enough moves to perfectly use his psionic energy to his full potential and psionic was basically a type of energy based on the soul.
A majestic roar tore Layton out of his thoughts, the bubble around the qi practitioner had broken dissipated into the surroundings and a terrifying coercion was swept out affecting the surroundings, a creature was floating in the air above Tang qi. it was a dragon, not a flood dragon or the poor imitation tang qi had used earlier as his water based spell but a real dragon with the head of a camel, horns of a deer, a long beard, a serpentine body, eagle like claws, and carp like scales.
The majestic creature floated in the air exuding a terrifying pressure and coercion as it coiled around in the air and in the space above it dark clouds emerged overhead and lightning surged in them, the clouds siphoning energy subtly from the surroundings and the numerous energies that made up the sky.
With its roar everything related to water and moisture in the surroundings was drawn into the body of the dragon and the body of Tang qi, the remaining giants who were still slowly healing were turned to ash as the water in their body was violently drawn out, the only living individuals present in the field now was Tang qi, Igor, Layton and the dragon that was still swimming leisurely and proudly in the air.
.....
Tang qi who was motionless with his eyes closed suddenly opened them, with his gaze the space around him seemed to undergo some subtle changes, he was exuding an immense terrifying aura, the aura of a legendary level life a level 2 practitioner although the holy grail world restricted participants from promoting to legendary level powerhouses but in the space they were currently in close to the root the rules were not that strict and tang qi using mutilating means split his soul in two, create the Ying long dragon intent turning it from virtual to reality and placing a part of his soul in it to make it become a life, breaking his qi pathways and energy channels overloading and compressing the qi he had and could absorb to forcefully ingest the numerous miscellaneous energy emitting from the root and then using it to forcefully condense a domain and forcefully breakthrough to become a legendary level life despite the restrictions perfectly depicting the WU civilization philosophy that man would conquer the sky and rules.
Igor saw the scene when the changes of Tang qi began but the changes occurred too fast and before he could react the dragon had been born, he wanted to stop the scene by forcefully pulling down the energy curtain that made up the sky but when he saw the Ying long summon rain and control lightning that was created from the sky curtain Igor knew pulling down the energy would only increase the power of the now level 2 opponents.
Igor applied his gravity superpowers on himself with perfect control and using complex calculations he had already turned to instinct he compressed his muscles turning his muscular body to a slim one but with well defined, symmetrical body proportions.
Igor watched plainly as the surrounding giants were turned to ash, he gave a look to Layton who was motionless staring at the qi practitioner and then he took a firm step forward, this plain action caused a short powerful fluctuation as Igor crazily increased the mass of his foot using his gravitational powers, the density of his foot at that short moment approached the theoretical mass of a black hole and then using such weight he influenced the surrounding space, he did so the same way a normal black hole used its immense mass to twist space time, based on that same principle but simplified and scaled down he twisted the fabric of space around him for a short moment and this action caused him to slingshot through space appearing right in front of the qi practitioner.
