Refining the Heavens 4 (炼天四)

Chapter 69: Anima Infinitus (Part 2)

The weapons and armour taken from the White Emperor are all of lower grades. Anything of value had been taken by the Thief King by now, however the Time-Space ring was different. It had been hidden in Reynold's gullet after discovering who his opponent is, and within it contained all the most valuable things belonging to the White Emperor.

Kairos kept this item and turn towards the Black Emperor. He finished off Reynold in record time and planned to do the same to this copy of Temujin before his own body breaks down from the immense power from the living artefact.

The Yggdrasil treasure, Anima Infinitus, is newly made and not entirely in his control. Despite it, it is giving off incredible amounts of power in his Dantian; a place that with the slightest error can destabilise and cause Kairos to die in a fiery explosion.

His meridian system is overloaded and each cell of his body are driven to their maximum capacity. It may feel as though he is a god on Gaia right now, but it isn't a state possible to last more than seconds.

Temujin attacked the moment he turned. The full power of a fifteen Paramount Unit is enough to destroy cities and permanently change the terrain.

He struck with such fury that thunder and lightning was all the others could see.

They were calmly waiting for the dust to settle and the blind spot in their eyes to fade when suddenly something hurtled past.

The Walls of Jericho shook terribly as another thousand High-Grade Spirit Stones turned into dust.

Temujin's body lay shirtless on the ground with a palm print on his chest. His eyes opened, pupils replaced by red fires with two trails of strange black smoke.

A wicked smile is on the man's lips even as blood dripped down his chin. He slammed the floor with one hand, sending his whole body bolting forward at breakneck speed.

Black long spikes made of nothingness shot out from his back like a hedgehog's spines before suddenly turning towards Kairos.

They shot down at the young commander and quickly covered him like giant spider legs. These sharp black stakes are made from the Black Emperor's darkness Ki. Due to the element's properties it acts like the emptiness in space except much more potent. As such if Kairos is pierced by even one of them, they will tear into him and rob his powers.

Half a dozen of those went through him from front to back. They struck on his vital points except for his Dantian which Kairos narrowly dodged.

A victorious smile flashed across the Great Khan's face until Kairos smiled back at him.

"Why... why aren't you afraid?"

The reply came as a swift backhand. Temujin raised a shield hurriedly by projecting almost all of his Ki in an instant but it cracked like a poorly made ice bubble and Khan of the north was smashed deep into the ground.

This time, the Walls of Jericho only shook slightly this time with a hundred High-Grade Spirit Stone wiped out.

The man crawled out of the ground with dirt on his face and stone shards in his hair.

He looked at Kairos with seething rage. The holes he caused had already healed, in fact, the darkness that siphoned the overwhelming Origin Energy only helped, but marginally.

The Black Emperor masked his emotions quickly and his lips curved up into a smile despite being defeated.

He had jumped all protocols and referred to the final measure of the Ku Kang Camp.

In times of the most dire of situations, Frosthral is willing to let every person within this undefeated stronghold to perish along with their enemies.

He had activated the extermination sequence the moment Kairos killed Reynold with a slap but it took a while for it to kick into place.
