--- Chapter 115 ---

Two days later.

Baek Ain sighed while sitting on a bronze platform, shaking his head because he couldn't get the same sensation of creating a new technique as when he fought Kong Jingchen.

[It was a fluke, Host] Alicia commented casually.

"I know..." Baek Ain smiled bitterly.

In a state of enlightenment, Baek Ain succeeded in elevating his Soul Force from the 8th Tier to the 9th Tier. Not only that, but he also created a series of techniques to refine Soul Force and unleash powerful attacks.

And just like Alicia mentioned earlier.

It was a fluke.

But a moment like that was exhilarating for Baek Ain.

Shaking his head weakly, Baek Ain changed his attention to something else.

[Ding! You have finished the Search for Master Keys]

[Ding! You have finished Soul Stigmata's Awakening]

[You have received a Complete Record of Burning World and 1x Chance to undergo Soul Transition]

[Ding! You have received Kong Jingchen's Complete Memory and Two of his Master's Skills due to Soul Protection(Unknown)'s Trial]

[You have obtained 1x Passive Skill: Inventor(D), and 1x Active Skill: Dark Soul's Summon(C)]

[Ding! Due to the unexpected event, the "Goddess of Opportunity." has changed the reward for her unfinished quest]

[Modifying...]

[Name: Destroy Hall of Soul]

[Objective: Destroy Hun Clan, Hall of Soul, and anyone related to them, especially the chief of Soul Hall and Hun Clan's Patriarch(1/30.693)]

[Failure's Penalty: Sign-In Function confiscated permanently, Innate Skills sealed until further notice]

[Time Limit: Two Years]

[Reward: A Complete Soul Invocation Manual(SSS), White Tiger's Sovereign Path(SS+), and Tome of Opportunity(Unknown)]

Baek Ain didn't care much about the Goddess of Opportunity changing things because he expected something like this when the Search for the Master's Key quest got triggered.

After all, the reward overlapped.

He overviewed the system panel and commented, "Well, that's one out of 30.693."

"Small progress, but I finally started eliminating Hall of Soul's Members."

"Better than nothing, I guess?" Baek Ain laughed while reading information about his new skills.

[Name: Inventor]

[Type: Passive]

[Grade: D]

[Description: Allow someone to invent something based on their talents and expertise, increasing the efficiency of expertise skill by 5%]

[Name: Dark Soul's Summoning]

[Type: Active]

[Grade: C]

[Description: Bring forth one's Soul Force into the Outside World and attack the enemy silently, having a chance to break their spirits]

Baek Ain's eyes widened as he commented, "These skills are good."

Do not underestimate the five percent buff! This thing could help Baek Ain refine more high-grade pills and artifacts.

As for the Dark Soul's Summoning, it was more similar to the Howl of Sovereign White Tiger. The only difference is that Dark Soul's Summoning doesn't need Baek Ain to roar at the enemy and single target skill.

And the combination of the two will be a nightmare in large-scale battles.

"Speaking of the Enemy's Soul..." Baek Ain picked up the stone used to seal Venerable Earth Dragon's Soul.

He crushed the sealing stone and felt the rush of Soul Force but immediately trapped it with his own.

'BRAT! RELEASE ME RIGHT NOW!' A hateful roar comes out.

'OTHER ELSE, YOU'LL FACE MY WRATH!'

Baek Ain rolled his eyes and said, "Annoying little lizard."

"Die, Blade Orbit!" Baek Ain's Soul Force exploded as a brilliant star formation surrounded Venerable Earth Dragon's Soul, crushing it into pieces.

Even though Venerable Earth Dragon is strong, he is still inferior to Kong Jingchen, whom Baek Ain killed two days ago. Not to mention Venerable Earth Dragon's strong draconic body and Half-Saint Dou Qi had long been sealed by Cai Lin, leaving only his soul trapped in a small stone for months.

"N-No! It CAN'T BE-!" A regretful scream lasted for a few seconds before disappearing.

[Ding! You have used the latent power of Soul Protection(Unknown) to eliminate a Half-Saint Expert]

[You have obtained Venerable Earth Dragon's Memory and one of his skills]

[Active Skill{: Dragon's Fear(F)]

[Ding! Due to your achievement in Soul Force, only Half-Saint Expert and above will reward you with skills]

"Hey, that's illegal!" Baek Ain complained. "I want my free rewards!"

[...] Alicia would have rolled her eyes if she had them.

[Your Soul Force reached 9th Tier already, Host]

[Have you not realized Soul Protection(Unknown) always nurtured you when someone higher than your cultivation realm dared to use Soul-Type Attack?]

[A weaker soul wouldn't nurture you in the slightest, which resulted in not giving any benefits besides karma]

Baek Ain maintained an annoyed expression and clicked his tongue, "Tsk."

"Anyway..."

"It's time for me to fix Sage Kingdom's Energy Source."

...

...

"Master Ain, you finally come out!" Number one appeared and greeted Baek Ain upon noticing him walk out of the Seclusion Tower.

Baek Ain smiled and replied, "Yeah."

"I have fully recovered and gained some insights."

"Let's go to the Sky God's Tomb and recover the Energy Source."

Number one excitedly nodded her head and returned, "Right, Right!"

They traveled to the Core Area of Sage Kingdom, arriving at the Clock Tower's highest floor.

Upon stepping into the room, Baek Ain sees his companions meditating soundlessly. He didn't want to awaken them and approach the Miniature Clock Tower.

"I'm ready." Baek Ain said calmly.

The Miniature Clock Tower shook its body in joy and replied, "I'll open a Wormhole to the Sky God's Tomb."

"Remember, recover the Energy Source and return right away."

"Sky God left behind a powerful beast's spawn in his tomb, which we barely used for three hundred years. There might even be a Saint Realm Beast there."

"Noted." Baek Ain placed Domina-Tion and Earth Cleaver on his hips.

"Wait, Ain. We'll also go." The Beast Tribes' Elders opened their eyes and walked toward him. "If what Miniature Clock Tower said was true, we can't let you fight Saint Realm Beast."

"Okay."

A Wormhole appeared, and Baek Ain jumped in with Beast Tribes Elders behind him.

The night sky scenery welcomed them.

Watching the Wormhole, Number One couldn't help but ask, "Do you think they will succeed?"

Miniature Clock Tower sighed and answered, "We could only hope."

On the other side, Yao Ling and Xue Rongrong's will got shaken when witnessing the realm they are currently in.

"Pocket Dimension."

"To use the Pocket Dimension as a Tomb... Sky God is befitting his title."

Baek Ain

Baek Ain connected to the Sky God's Gene Fluid and felt the guidance wanted to reach a place. He grabbed Yao Ling and Xue Rongrong's hands and said, "Let's go."

Swoosh!

They arrived at the majestic-looking white tower. It was white with neatly layered and polished bricks, releasing this powerful presence.

Baek Ain shook the presence away with his Soul Force.

And the Beast Tribes' Elders used their Bloodline's Aura.

"It's been three hundred years, huh?" A voice appeared calmly.

A white-bearded elder in a wizard white robe appeared and landed before them, giving Baek Ain a friendly smile.

"Congratulations, you have found my Sky God's Tomb."

"You are qualified to become my successor."

"But first, can you show me the Sky God's Gene Fluid?"

Baek Ain smirked and replied, "Sure, Elder."

He reached for his pocket and approached the white-bearded elder with utmost regard, causing the former to laugh in amusement.

"This Elder, please take it."

"Hoho~! Thank you-!" The white-bearded elder reached with his wrinkled hand but was "abruptly." greeted by a blade in the chest instead.

Stab!

"Light Annihilation." Baek Ain indifferently whispered.

"Please take this and die."

[Ding! You have killed a Mimicry Beast]

Yao Ling and Xue Rongrong were astonished.

Baek Ain pulled his blade and commented, "In your next life, act better."

"Why the fuck Sky God ask for his own Gene Fluid, knowing his inheritor needs it?"

"Not to mention. This cliche elderly portrayal."

"You can fool others, but not me." Baek Ain's eyes glowed with Ashen Light.

Several shadows quickly surrounded them, revealing a feline beast with bat-like wings and a snake-like tail.

[Netherworld Panthers]

[Master of Illusion and Darkness]

"HUMAN! Hand over the Sky God's Gene Fluid, and we will leave you alive." One Netherworld Panther declared haughtily.

Baek Ain laughed and returned, "Haha, with just these numbers?"

"I'm afraid your team is lacking."

"Then, Take the consequence and DIE!" The Netherworld Panther commanded his brethren.

Baek Ain activated Golden Crow's Possession and released Divine Beast's Aura from his body. He didn't stop there and went further beyond by roaring at the incoming crowds of beasts.

[Howl of Sovereign White Tiger]

The Golden Crow and White Tiger's Blessings activated, pressuring every beast in the area. Even Yao Ling and Xue Rongrong are "actually." included.

"You have two choices."

"Surrender or Die!" Baek Ain's eyes glared at them.

Netherworld Panthers shivered as they kneeled willingly on the ground, leaving Yao Ling and Xue Rongrong speechless. It is because one of these Netherworld Panthers is peak Half-Saint Existence.
