Prime Originator

Abyssal Wood Forest

The chaotic winds blew, the forest leaves rustled, the tree branches clashed, and the billowing dark clouds in the sky above collided.

Rumble…!

The spatial phenomenon stirred the heavenly weather chaotically with its unpredictable and uncontrollable wind currents, yet oddly enough, retained the spherical body of dark clouds.

"This is… What is this?"

The One-Eyed Venerable Shaman stared at the spatial storm's slow descent from the first heaven with an abject look of alarm and horror after his cultivation was interrupted.

For a person who had never seen a spatial phenomenon, the formation of chaotic space in the sky was no different from the coming of doomsday. 

"It's Darlene's Transcendent Phenomenon. She's about to become a Spatial Transcendent," Aria explained, for her cultivation, too, was interrupted.

Nevertheless, she had never seen such a phenomenon either. 

'Are all spatial phenomenons like this? Or is this the difference between primary laws and grand laws?' Aria wondered. 

Swoosh!

A sudden pillar of chaotic space shot down from the spherical body of spatial storm as if forming a link with Darlene, lifting her body off the big tree branch and leaving her suspended in midair.

At the same time, Aria and the One-Eyed Venerable were pushed away onto a different tree branch by the powerful current of chaotic space.

The brief contact made them think the chaotic space nearly ripped them to shreds; that made the One-Eyed Venerable assume Darlene was in danger.

"Watch out, young lady!"

The One-Eyed Venerable Shaman prepared to pull Darlene out of the chaotic space forcefully, but Aria immediately stopped him.

"Don't! This is Darlene's baptism, something she needs to experience before successfully transcending! So don't interrupt her!" Aria shouted.

"Eh?" 

The One-Eyed Venerable Shaman's extended hand froze before the One-Eyed Venerable wryly smiled while awkwardly retracting his hand.

"I see. I almost made an irredeemable mistake and ruined Miss Darlene's good fortune. Thank you for stopping this old man."

"Don't mention it, senior." Aria sighed with relief before saying, "We better retreat to a safer distance."

"Agreed," the One-Eyed Venerable Shaman nodded. 

The pillar of chaotic space was so powerful that it reduced the entire ashen tree into sharp splinters before further reducing them into fine sawdust.

The sight shocked the One-Eyed Venerable Shaman.

"Are all transcendent phenomena always powerful like this?" the One-Eyed Venerable Shaman inquired. 

"Hard to say, senior." Aria shook her head and replied, "Even for me, it's my first time seeing such a powerful phenomenon."

When she transcended, her phenomenon stretched for hundreds of miles, but even then, it did not feel as powerful as what she was witnessing.

"By the way, I can't seem to find Young Master Leonhardt anywhere. Have you seen or know where he went, Miss Aria?" 

Aria was about to look around, but Leon suddenly appeared right beside them in a ghostly manner and patted the One-Eyed Venerable Shaman on the shoulder.

"I heard someone was looking for me?"

Leon smiled, and his devilish and sudden whisper made the One-Eyed Venerable Shaman slightly jump with a startled look.

"Haiz, speak of the devil."

"Haha, how's the situation?"

"It's as you can see, she is undergoing the baptism—or so Miss Aria calls it, but I don't really know much about these phenomena stuff. Why did you go, Young Master Leonhardt?"

"Oh, you know; just some stuff like cultivation, demon hunting, and demon raising," Leon casually replied. 

But the One-Eyed Venerable Shaman and Aria blinked twice, thinking they may have misheard his words.

"Did you say demon raising? Did I hear—"

Nevertheless, the One-Eyed Venerable Shaman's question was cut short by the interruption of a sudden change.

At that moment, Darlene's suspended body suddenly began ascending and shot into the eye of the chaotic space storm, disappearing from everyone's vision.

"Is she going to be okay?" the One-Eyed Venerable Shaman frowned in wonder. 

However, Leon didn't have a definite answer. 

"Let's all believe in her. Although the Spatial Phenomenon seems quite dangerous, I haven't come across a phenomenon that harms the transcender. More importantly, it seems we have company."

Leon's gaze suddenly flickered with a sharp look as he alerted the One-Eyed Venerable Shaman and Aria. 

A short distance away, several shadowy figures hopped from treetop to treetop and made their way over. 

However, Leon's ghostly figure suddenly appeared in front of them and blocked their path, forcing them to come to an abrupt stop on the ashen trees.

It was a group of humans from a tribe Leon wasn't acquainted with. 

Furthermore, their strength wasn't half-bad.

The group had clearly experienced a few lucky chances in the secret realm and raised a few Extremity-rank Battle Masters.

"Friends, please do not come any closer. My woman is undergoing Transcendence, and I would appreciate it if you would stay back and not disturb the process."

"Transcendence? What kind of sh*t is that? I think you are just spouting nonsense to keep us away from the emerging tomb of inheritance! Something this must be a Demon King-level Tomb at least!"

"Right, Young Master Leonhardt. As a Divine Doctor, you will naturally have our respect. However, everything in the secret realm is fair play. You can't monopolize the inheritance for yourself."

"Please don't be selfish and move aside, Young Master Leonhardt—while we are still giving you face, that is."

The impatient Extremity-rank Battle Masters in the group fired their accusations at Leon, bolstered by inflated confidence that their acquired strengths brought them.

Leon's expression darkened before dropping his polite attitude at once.

"What the actual f*ck? How dare you clowns accuse me like a bandit when I spoke the truth nicely? F*ck you and your pretentious respect! Do you think you're strong after a bit of improvement? Do you think you can step all over me just because you're 'strong?' F*ck all of you!"

Leon cussed and pointed his middle finger at them.

They seemed to have forgotten the insurmountable difference between them when he demonstrated his Authority of Earth in front of the various tribes. 

Of course, there was a chance that they were part of the tribes that arrived later, but either way; Ignorant fools ought to be taught their places!
