Chapter 918: I Eat Immortals For Breakfast (2)
From the moment the first blow landed on Kent’s body, he knew he was outmatched.
However, while he could merely ask Gaia to lock Lord Forsaken down and seal the place so that later, when he had the required strength, he would come back to face him, Kent’s nature immediately rejected the idea of retreating.
If anything, he felt like going into a life-and-death battle.
So he stayed, and for the 40 seconds they fought, he was outmatched in both speed and attack power.
However, that was the main reason Kent chose to fight in the first place.
When he fought his perfect clone back in the sect, it was merely a battle where they were all using the same skills and techniques.
He lost in the end, but he didn’t feel that danger, knowing the enemy would be making a move he had never seen or used before.
That adrenaline, the rush in knowing the next second he would be stabbed through the heart or beheaded, that danger, he wanted to feel it, and thus Kent was locked in this battle.
However, he never expected Lord Forsaken to be this decisive.
His legs were rooted in place, and the fist carrying the strength of an early-stage Root Immortal arrived before his eyes.
Naturally, if that fist landed, Kent’s head would explode, and he would die.
However, killing him wasn’t something that could be achieved that easily.
The moment the fist arrived, Kent activated the Clone Bodies and swapped places with one of the clones that appeared 3 meters behind Lord Forsaken.
Even he couldn’t have predicted Kent would make such a move. However, he did, and right when the fist landed on the clone’s face, a thin reddish-gold sword arc flashed out from behind him.
Lord Forsaken twisted his body quickly and made a wide swing with his hand in an attempt to block the sword arc that he couldn’t evade.
However, before his hand could reach the sword arc, a powerful aura locked on his body, causing him to turn to his left.
Kent appeared on his left with a stabbing attack. Naturally, Lord Forsaken was supposed to ignore one attack and defend the one coming for his life.
However, both attacks were coming for his life, so he used his strength to move and kick forward, leaving only one leg on the ground.
He was using one of his legs to defend against the stabbing and his hand for the sword arc.
SLASH
A painful feeling appeared on his face as his body dropped by a foot.
Kent appeared 30 meters away with a grin on his face.
“Not to brag, but when it comes to close combat, you can’t contend with me.” He watched as Lord Forsaken regenerated his leg.
’Kent, he is an Avatar with a cultivation base of Early Stage Root Immortal. This means he can’t use his immortal aura to power his attacks.
It also means that using active skills will become a headache for him.
So the more you injure him, the weaker he will become. Naturally, he also cannot die, knowing his real body will suffer a great blow wherever he is. So he wouldn’t use powerful active skills and techniques.
However, if he becomes desperate, he will go all out, and that will be bad for you. So be careful.
[Thank you, my goddess.]
Kent let a smile appear on his face, but the next second, he frowned and looked to his left.
“Immortals are indeed powerful. In my current form, I am afraid I will be throwing my life away if I were to face them in combat.”
Kent moved to his left, evading a flying sword that Lord Forsaken picked from the ground. He used his mind to control it, and soon, more swords started flying out at Kent, making the dragon start to get cornered.
“So much for learning his moves using my sword gaze.” Kent activated the flame wheels and started speeding through the many swords flying at him. Soon, over ten thousand swords appeared in the air and were quickly raining down on him.
Kent was moving like a blur, but even so, he was sustaining injuries at a rapid pace.
However, if one looked closely, they would see that the cuts landing on Kent’s body were being healed the next second, only for another cut to appear.
But no matter how many times the swords cut him, Kent didn’t slow down. If anything, his speed continued to increase at an unprecedented rate.
⟦The master’s speed has already surpassed that of a Spirit Emperor in Supreme High Worlds at their peak⟧
Kent smiled as he kept moving even faster.
He had instructed the tower to inform him when he surpassed the speed a peak Spirit Emperor stage expert in a supreme High world would have.
He wanted to know how much power he had attained and how he compared to the experts in the Supreme High World.
He knew his strength had already surpassed them in strength, and the only thing he lacked was speed.
’Tower, say I were to activate all 1000 flame veins, can my body withstand the speed?’
⟦The master has attained Nirvana, and so, unless the master were to hit an unbreakable wall while moving, his body can handle the speed⟧
Kent smiled, feeling the joke in the tower’s words.
’In that case, I have to let this immortal experience my top speed before I send him on his way.’
Kent activated his flame veins 100 at a time, causing his speed to surge. In an instant, his movement went up several folds compared to when he was using his own speed.
’That’s more like it, ’ he smiled and started all the more Flame Veins to it. After he attained the Nirvana body, the nine Nirvana flames that reforged his body helped him form 1000 flame veins. This is the first time he is using them.
Whenever he activated them, his speed surged at least threefold.
By the time 400 flame veins were activated, Lord Forsaken had already started to have a hard time tracking him.
It wasn’t just because he was weak—it was more that he was using too much energy to control the swords. In reality, he hadn’t prepared before coming because he expected his clan to have Sonox cleared by the time he arrived.
However, aside from the 10% immortal energy he had left in his body, the rest had been used to open the forbidden greater teleporter he relied on to get to the Forsaken World.
He had also used 4% of the remaining 10% to try to open the restriction Gaia had raised. So, in a way, he had wasted all his energy in pointless endeavours before clashing with Kent.
Four more were used to lift and control the swords in order to attack Kent.
Now, with only 2% of his energy left, he knew Kent had to die. However, what greeted him was speed beyond his imagination.
But Kent didn’t stop at just 400. He went ahead and gradually activated all 1,000 of his flame veins. The moment all were activated, Kent saw the world slow down.
He could see it—Lord Forsaken was moving sluggishly. It was almost like he couldn’t see Kent at all.
’Hey Tower, say I inject the flames of Nirvana into his core, how bad would it get for his true body currently in the immortal realm?’ Kent first asked the expert.
[You should ask the goddess this question, master. I am afraid even I don’t know.]
Kent raised his brow, and an evil smile appeared on his face.
’Why don’t we find out the answer together?’ Kent moved and appeared behind Lord Forsaken, gently tapping him on the shoulder.
Inside the tower, the ladies were, in a strange way, able to track Kent’s speed. So when Vexthra saw the blue flame appear in Kent’s hands, her face paled, and instinctively she broke into a cold sweat that caught her sisters off guard.
