Aditya slowly began walking out of the crater. Also that the same time, the dark clouds that had covered the sky also began to disperse. While walking out of the crater, Aditya checked his wounds. This fight was one of the toughest fights Aditya had till now. Aditya was forced to use several of his trump cards.

Aditya’s right eye was permanently gone. In this fight, he had to rely on his left eye. This made things a little difficult for Aditya especially when they were fighting at close range. Fortunately, Aditya was able to overcome that difficulty by relying on his senses. Aditya also has to admit that this fight has made him learn many new things. Aditya was now more experienced with his powers and his sword skills also significantly improved.

Aditya’s wings were in very bad shape. He had used his wings to protect his whole body. This time, both of his dragon wings were burned very badly. Both of his wings now had turned black. In some areas, even the white bone had been turned black from the heat of the lightning. Fortunately, Aditya was able to survive because his Lightning Manipulation and Crimson Blaze skills gave him resistance to high temperatures, a certain percent resistance to fire, and also to lightning attacks.

『Crimson Blaze』

『3rd-order innate skill』

『Description』: – An advanced evolved and powerful form of Fiery Blaze. This skill allows the user to control fire and the temperature of Crimson flames.

『Function 1』: – Every time the user activates this skill, it will consume [1+] mana per second. The limit of this skill depends on the user’s imagination and the user’s mana.

『Function 2』: – Decreases the damage of fire-type attacks used by the enemy by [30%]. Fire types attacks used by any 3rd-order or below-order cultivators or beings would have no effect on the host. Increases of power of Fire-type attacks used by the host by [40%] against any cultivator or being at 5th-order or below orders.』

“The second function is not limited by any order. Meaning that even if a 7th-order cultivator used fire type attack, the power of the attack will be decreased by 40%.” Aditya had the Divine Crimson Dragon bloodline if he is not immune to fire-type attacks, then he might as well remove the Divine part from his bloodline’s name.

『Crimson Lightning Manipulation』

『3rd-order Innate skill』

『Description: – A special type of lightning manipulation skill that was gained from having Divine Crimson dragon bloodline and Storm Marshall class. Only a select few people in this world can use Crimson lightning.』

『Function 1』: – Every time the user activates this skill, it will consume [1+] mana per second. The limit of this skill depends on the user’s imagination and the user’s mana.

『Function 2』: – Passively increases the user’s lightning resistance and also decreases the damage of Lightning type-attack by 30% used by a 3rd-order cultivator. Gives 20% resistance to lightning-type attacks used by a 4th-order cultivator. The resistance percentage will decrease with each higher order.』

“My wings are hurting like hell.” Aditya took out a Peak 3-star healing potion and drank everything in one go. Only after drinking the healing potion, Aditya started to feel much better. At least the pain was reduced by half.

“At this state, I don’t think I can use my wings to fly.” Aditya knew that flying would only worsen his wings’ condition. Besides his burned wings, Aditya also suffered other injuries. When both versions of Ashley punched Aditya’s cheeks, his cheekbones cracked. But if his other injuries are nothing compared to what had happened to his wings.

“Normally I can grow out my wings from my back. But in this state, trying to retract my wings would only hurt more.” Aditya stopped walking as he felt he had stepped on something irregular. Moving his right foot, he found a black storage ring covered in dirt.

“This ring must belong to Ashley.” Aditya picked up the ring and took a look inside. Aditya was shocked to find thousands of mana stones, one million royal gold coins, some old pieces of jewelry, various kinds of 3-star and 4-star alchemy pills, a collection of various colors of normal spears, various 3-star armor sets, some clothes male and also female clothes, and finally a strange-looking stone. Aditya was instantly attracted to this strange stone that had a deep purple glow on it.

Aditya took out the deep purple color stone from the storage ring. As soon as he took out the stone, the system showed him the description of the stone.

『Low-grade Spirit stone』

『Description』: – 『An upgraded or evolved version of mana stones that takes 500,000 to 1,000,000 years to form depending on several factors such as the quality of mana in the atmosphere and the temperature of the surrounding area. An ordinary stone becomes a mana stone after absorbing mana for 1,000 to 5,000 or 10,000 years; the transformation time depends on several factors. The mana stones began sucking mana from the atmosphere to become spirit stones.』

『Function』: – 『The spirit stone can be used in many ways. The spirit stones contain one of the purest forms of Mana. Just absorbing this mana will increase the user’s cultivation. Warning: – The current host cannot absorb spirit stones as the mana stored in it is too pure for the Host’s body to handle.』

“In short spirit stones are like big battery cells that can store large amounts of energy in it.” Aditya couldn’t help but size looking at the rectangular-shaped fist-size purple glowing stone in his hand. The spirit stone was releasing some white smoke. This smoke was a very small amount of pure mana. Just keeping a spirit stone around a cultivator would be able to push the cultivation speed.

『There are currently two requirements that the host needs to complete to advance on his path to becoming the true Dragon Monarch.

『1. Expand the host’s territory over an area of 500,000 km².』

『173,000 km²/500,000 km²』

『2. Gather the materials needed to build the legendary Dragon Palace. 』

『Required materials: – 100 tons of gold, 50 tons of silver, 50,000 spirit stones, 100 tons of refined iron』

“I don’t know how I am going to find 50,000 spirit stones.” Aditya felt it would be impossible to find this many spirit stones.

“The only place where I can find this many spirit stones is the main continent. Outsiders can go to the main continent if only their cultivator is in 5th-order. So for now, I cannot go to the main continent.” Aditya can use all of his saved-up experience points to reach 5th order but he wouldn’t do that. As it would bring him many unnecessary headaches. It’s not like Aditya was in a hurry to build the Dragon Place.

Aditya walked out of the crater only to see how much of the inner region both of their fights had destroyed. It’s no wonder why 5th-order cultivators are considered god-like existent in every continent except the main continent.

1/10 of the whole inner region was destroyed by Aditya and Ashley’s attacks. Mainly because of Aditya’s attack since the whole time Ashley was in defense. Aditya is not sure how many years it would take for the forest to completely repair itself.

Aditya sensed Alicia and others around 15 km away from him. It seems they also know that the battle is over. The group is now heading in Aditya’s direction. Aditya decided to use this chance to recover his mana. He cannot fight without mana after all.

“Let’s eat one mana and stamina recovery pill.” Aditya took out the pills from Ashley’s storage ring since he had given every single of his recovery and healing pills to the elite soldiers who unfortunately died at the hand of Ashley.

“Don’t worry, I have avenged you all. I will make sure that your family is not mistreated.”

Meanwhile, in the southern part of the Heavenly Hemlock forest, the fight hadn’t even begun yet. The Ethereal army which was more than 2 million big was currently marching inside the outer region of the Heavenly Hemlock forest. While the mutant fire ant army was marching from the north direction to face the Ethereal army. The commanders of the two armies were Emperor Ronnie and the mutant fire ant queen.

“Your Majesty, the battle has ended.” Spoke the man who stood at King Ronnie’s right side. This man was Ronnie’s, left-hand man. Elder Ronan was one of the few people who has served the previous two Emperors of the Ethereal empire. If there is anybody that King Ronnie respected most after his parents, that person would be Ronan.

Ronan was a beastmen. He had the body of a muscular human while his head and neck were a lion’s head and neck. Lionmen was one of the strongest races in the whole world. Lionmen are very intelligent, proud, prideful, loyal, powerful, and very talented on the battlefield. Having a Lion man as a soldier is the same as having 100 human soldiers.

Ronan’s past was very sad. The Lion tribe’s man was sold as a slave at the age of 7 and later bought to the Westnia continent. Ronnie’s grandfather and Alicia’s great-grandfather took a liking to Ronan and took him under his wing. From there Ronan was unstoppable. The whole world learned his fierceness on the battlefield. In less than 5 decades, Ronan went from being a normal soldier to become one of the core members of the Ethereal Empire. No matter what type of situation it was, the Lion man always remained calm as lake water.

His fierce fighting style with his calmness earned him the title of Cold bloodthirsty lion. As of today, Ronan was 312 years old. The lion man refused to marry anyone saying that he wants to dedicate his entire life to serving the Ethereal Empire. Even when Ronnie tried to send Ronan to the main continent where he can further improve his cultivation and reach bigger highest, Ronan refused saying that the Ethereal Empire’s guardian cannot leave the Empire.

“Who won?” There was a trace of nervousness in Ronnie’s tone. As soon as Ronan got near the Heavenly Hemlock forest, the Peak 5th-order beastmen was able to sense the presence of another Peak 5th-order and a beginner 3rd-order. Both cultivators fought like equals. The fact that Ronan sensed a beginner 3rd-order equally fighting a Peak 5th-order, made the beastmen question his own senses. Ronan wondered if he had lost his sharpness and now was sensing stupid and completely illogical things.

But the appearance of a red sun in the distant forest and the scene where countless lightning bolts emerged to become one rainbow of lightning, cleared Ronan’s doubt. The lion man was still deeply shocked by the fact that a beginner 3rd-order could fight a peak 5th-order.

Ronan had informed Ronnie of Aditya and Ashley’s fight. Ronnie almost sent elder Ronan to help Aditya but he stopped after Ronan told him that there were 12 beginner 5th-order mutant fire ants and a Mid-5th-order mutant fire ant queen approaching in their direction.

Ronan’s absence would have left the ethereal army in trouble. As other than Ronnie himself, the Ethereal army did not have any 5th-order cultivators. Also, the fact that Aditya was equally fighting Ashley added more weight to his decision to not send Ronan. All Ronnie did was put his blind faith in Aditya. Sometimes one has to take a leap of faith.

“Your Majesty, you can relax, I cannot feel the presence of that Peak 5th-order anymore. It seems that boy has managed to kill the enemy.”

Sigh!

Ronnie felt the weight on his shoulders had been lifted. “What kind of crazy existence is he?” Ronnie looked into the distance. The worry that Ronnie previously had related to his daughter and his son’s safety also disappeared knowing that Aditya, Sylvie, and Nora were there with them.

“Your Majesty, the ant is here.” It was Coby who said these words. Coby had met his majesty and explained why he was waiting outside the Heavenly Hemlock forest.
