Eternal Cultivation of Alchemy

Chapter 582 Black Slash

It was something else. It called itself \'Godslayer\'. The beasts didn\'t know what that was, only that it was something that had originally been trapped into the metal sword and had been specially kept in this place.

Standing in front of that thing, the beasts felt true fear for their lives for a long time. They were truly scared

The aura the person in front of them was giving off wasn\'t human anymore either. Alex\'s aura was nowhere to be felt, only the inhuman aura could be.

And that rang all the bells in the Beasts\' head.

Immediately, they turned around and ran away. They knew there was no way they could fight it at all, so instead, they chose to run away.

Not only that, fighting in such a location was not a very good idea either. Not just for themselves, but for Lady Ren\'s sake as well.

"Hey! Hey! Where do you think you all are going?" It, the Godslayer, asked as it watched the beasts run away.

In the next moment, it launched forward with the sword in hand. It moved at such an incredible speed that it put the saint beasts to shame.

In a split second, it arrived behind the beasts and struck at the puma directly on its back.

The puma went crashing onto the side of the ground along the corridor. He had a giant cut along the side of his back, but he couldn\'t care about it for now.

"This kid wanted to kill you, so you are going to die now," It spoke.

The Jaguar sent out an attack towards It, which It easily blocked. At the same time, the Leopard helped the puma escape the place.

It stayed where it was, instead of following the beasts, to check upon its new body.

"Tsk, this kid is only at True realms. I will need to find a suitable body soon," It thought.

It was starting to enter Alex\'s spiritual sea as well as a glob of black goo.

As soon as it entered, the black goo started spreading black mists, slowly corrupting the spiritual sea as well.

It could see Alex, half-conscious, standing on top of the sea with a black look on his face.

"I\'m surprised this kid even managed to get a spiritual sea in such a backwater place. Not bad kid, unfortunately, you will die soon," It said.

It was pushing Alex\'s body beyond his natural limit to bring out so much damage. Soon, it would wreck Alex\'s body from the inside and force him to die without a doubt.

At that moment, It would have to find a new body.

It was about to go kill the puma again when it noticed something to its right. It turned around and saw the massive mountain floating atop Alex\'s spiritual sea.

"Hey, hey! What the hell is this?" It got curious and looked at the gigantic mountain.

When it noticed the silver color of the mountain, it suddenly got apprehensive.

"What the hell? No way, this can\'t be true right?" It thought. It knew of such silver rocks that people could use, but it had never heard of one the size of the mountain.

The largest it had heard of was perhaps the size of a boulder and that alone was quite impressive because of what the silver rock did.

"This kid has such a great potential to make it as someone big. Unfortunately, like most talented youths, he too will die before maturing," the black glob said.

The glob spoke of it as something remorseful, but it wasn\'t remorseful at all. Instead, it started giggling to itself.

"Hehehe, killing such a talented youth, I can\'t wait to drain him of his life," It thought. "Hahaha! This kid shall be my stepping stone as I make my return and slay all the gods."

"The first one in my renewed path of killing shall be the beasts!"

Even while the black glob remained in the spiritual sea, it could use Alex\'s body outside.

It moved through the hallway, looking for the beasts. The black goo couldn\'t use spiritual sense, so it had to go around looking for the beasts on its own.

It, however, could feel the aura left behind by the beasts and followed it.

Soon, it came outside and in another step appeared behind the beasts that were fleeing from the scene. They were already above the trees, taking the thing away from the palace with them.

"You shall die now," It said as it slashed its blade.

A black slash came out of the sword that held the power to destroyed anything along the way.

The beasts dodged at the last second, and the slash flew in between them before hitting a tree.

The moment the black slash hit the tree, the tree seemed to lose all moisture at once as it crumbled to dust.

The 3 beasts felt scared. Just what the hell was sealed in that sword?

"Hehehe!" It continued grinning as if it was seeing the funniest thing in the world.

It raised the sword towards the sky, getting ready to attack once more. It raised Alex\'s left arm, as well as a black hand made up of nothing but goo and smoke, appeared from it, holding onto the sword.

"Hehehe. DIE!" Its black eyes opened wide with glee on its face as it used a very strong attack towards the puma.

This attack was similar to the black slash from before, but this time it was incredibly large and incredibly fast.

The puma knew that if the attack hit him, he would die. And yet, there was not a single thing in the world he could do to protect himself.

Suddenly, a brilliant white light exploded in front of the puma that swallowed the black slash. When the light disappeared, the black slash was nowhere to be seen either.

The puma looked in front of him, with its stupidly scared face, and saw someone standing in front of him.

"Lady Ren!" the three of them said at the same time.

The white cat had finally decided to show herself. "Are you 3 alright?" she asked.

"Yes, lady Ren," they said, finally a little relieved to see her come out. However, when they realized what would happen, they got scared.

"Lady Ren, you…" the Jaguar asked.

"Now\'s not the time to dwell on it. You guys need me and that child needs me," she said. The beasts said nothing further.

Lady Ren turned towards the thing that was now Alex. "Get out of that child now," she said in a low voice. Her face turned to that of an angry cat with her canines showing towards It.

"Ooh, I\'m so scared. How will fight against such a strong cat?" It started mocking Lady Ren.

Lady Ren didn\'t let the mocking register to herself and instead started thinking of how she could save Alex. If she didn\'t save Alex, she could forget about saving her great-grandchild.

There was also the fact that Alex could absorb the bloodline of the White Tiger without dying. There was definitely something unique to him, and she didn\'t want someone so unique to die because of this.

"Let go of him or I will kill you," she said.

"Hah! Kill me? Even the old bastard up there couldn\'t kill me. What can a little cat-like you from a backwater place do to me?" It asked, perfectly certain that it could win.

"Very well, I will have to incapacitate you then," Lady Ren said. Suddenly, her body glowed white and it started condensing down to her limbs and finally her claws.

The one that called itself \'Godslayer\' on the other hand simple put the sword at an angle as it got ready to fight as well.

The sword glowed black and it initiated the attack. It slashed at Lady Ren, who dodged it easily and attacked it with her claw.

The Godslayer took the hit but remained standing with an eerie smile on its face. This was not its body, the damage wouldn\'t stop it.

Lady Ren got a little apprehensive as well. She realized that fighting it normally wasn\'t the way at all. She needed to stall for time so that she could think of a way to remove this thing from Alex\'s body.

However, she couldn\'t take very long either as Alex\'s body would be overexerted very soon, killing him.

This task felt impossible for her.

* * * * *

Alex jolted awake as the pain in his body flared. He could feel the attack he received on the outside.

He wasn\'t sure where he was or what he was doing. He only knew that time had passed.

He remembered grabbing the sword, and… something crawling up the sword. What happened after that? He couldn\'t remember.

He then looked around and realized that he was in the spiritual sea. Just like he always was when the other Alex was with him.

\'Has he returned?\' Alex got a depressing feeling when he thought that. He looked up to see if he was there, but no, there was something else.

\'That blackness,\' he thought as he looked at the black goop that was sending out billows of black smoke all over his spiritual sea.

Alex felt anger like never before. "I finally got my body back, and you think you can take it from me?" he shouted at the goop which hadn\'t noticed him yet.

"My body is not something you can take as you wish. You will suffer my wrath for it."
