Chapter 55: A-Are you really a Vital Core Realm Cultivator!?

Two hours later

​Rahu stood up from his spot, flexing his arms and back. “Now this is sufficient, more than so”, Rahu grinned.

​He raised his right hand, and a horrendous black lightning began to spark. He carefully controlled its intensity and volts. Then, with a smirk, he raised his left hand, and a small ball of dense green liquid formed!

​Yes, they both were the core abilities of the Thunder Wolf and the giant serpent!

​”Damnn, I-I don’t even know what to say, y-you are really…something else”, Seris muttered with a blank expression on her face. Though she dared not say monster again, who knows what will spew out from his shameless mouth?

​”Vivianne! Attack my hand with [Sword Intent]”

​Ignoring Seri’s remark, he ordered Vivianne to strike his hand, with [Sword Intent]! The gals!

​”…Are you sure?” Vivianne asked once again, but seeing his eyes. She closed her eyes and unsheathed her sword.

​A white light covered the entirety of the sword. “You’d better be careful”.

​Saying that she swung her sword on his arm in a beautiful arc.

​Clang!

​Shinnng—thmm!

​In an incredible display of endurance and sheer tenacity, the sword hit his arm with incredible force, but was only able to pierce a few centimetres inside his hand!

​Zira gasped. No need for striking, she was sure, just the mere intent of that attack would cut through her arms like butter.

​Seris and Karma were faring no better!

​”H-How!?” Vivianne, probably the most shocked out of the three! Even with insane regeneration and the bear’s high-level body toughness, isn’t this too much? She, a core disciple of the Divine Sword Sect, can’t even cut a man’s arm! Albeit an extraordinary one.

​”I-I’m a disgrace to my master” Her thoughts soon steered towards wanton depression, until a smack landed on her ass.

“You dare be sad when I’m this strong? Clearly, you haven’t been properly dicked these days”

​Rahu grinned, seeing his smile, her thoughts shifted in an instant! This…this unhinged guy!

​Vivianne blushed. How can he say such things in front of her best friend!

​”Seris, I want to test my physical limitations, could you?” Rahu turned towards Seris, ignoring the tantrums of Vivianne.

​”Heh, just what I was going to ask!” Saying that she raised her palm towards him.

​”Strike it with everything you got”

​Seeing this, Rahu nodded; he wasn’t afraid of her getting hurt. She was a peak Origin Realm cultivator. He doubted anything could affect her aside from his [Sword Aura]

​He took his signature fighting stance from his previous life. He dashed toward her with incredible speed and

​BAAAM!

​He punched her hand with all his strength!

​CRRAAACCKK!!!

​WHOOOSHH!

​The ground behind Seris cracked, spreading as far as a mile! But she stood unarmed, except her hand trembled a bit. Looking at the grinning bastard, she asked one question that rang in everyone’s mind.

​”A-Are you really a Vital Core Real cultivator!?”

​…

​While the group was training and testing their powers, the rest of the continent was flipped upside down—of course, metaphorically.

​Two giant news stories broke out that stunned the whole continent. When House Ravencar’s Leader, Rowen Ravencar and his Wife, Rhaevira Ravencar, arrived with their elders in House Crimson’s capital, Crimsonfell.

​They were met with the Elders of House Crimson, aside from Morath. All of them were present. Conversations, negotiations and veiled threats were increasingly exchanged between them.

But when Elder Morath arrived on the spot. Rhaevira Ravencar erupted in intense fury and rage! She did not explain what had happened, but that day she had almost crippled Elder Morath if not for the Grand Elder’s timely intervention.

Sensing his wife’s emotions and her unspoken acknowledgement. House Ravencar stood on the brink of declaring war on House Crimson!

​Before they could proclaim their announcements. The Empress intervened! Yes, the Supreme Leader of the Holy Sun Continent herself graced her presence.

​And the second piece of news broke out, this one was loud. The Inheritance Realm! The top cultivators in the empire had sensed a small piece of a dimension that was about to come into contact with their world!

​An unknown, dangerous inheritance of some forgotten god! The whole Continent was buzzing with excitement and eagerness!

​Thanks to The Empress’s timely intervention, the matter of war was held off for the time being.

​Both the Houses retreated for the time being, with Elder Morath missing.

​…

​”SHIT SHIT SHIT!! WHAT THE FUCK IS HAPPENING!!” In the far corner of Crimsonfell, deep underground in a large dark hall.

​An almost burnt Morath was sleeping on the bed, cursing out loud.

​”Why did that bitch suddenly attack me!? I was just there to hear what this mess was about!!” He roared in fury. One strange thing was happening after another. He felt like he was in a spider web, cornered from every direction.

​”Why did she attack you, you ask? Because you carry her daughter’s essence inside you. You fool. Even I can sense it”

​A cold voice echoed from behind him; the door creaked. A tall, slender man walked out of it. Hearing his words, a wave of confusion hit Morath.

​Essence? What essence? I haven’t even touched a woman in the past fifty years!! But that shrewd woman never lost her temper like that, that too in front of such large audiences.

​”Did you take something strange, pills, medicines, herbs or something unusual?”

​”Noo! And even if I did take it, why would that woman’s essence be on that!? I have barely even seen her a few times!! Dammit! The old injuries haven’t even healed yet, now even my [Soul Core] has begun to crack!”

​’Hmph, you fool, who did you offend that you ended up in this miserable state?’ The man snorted and took a seat in front of Morath.

​”I told you to stay lowkey. The Inheritance Realm opening was supposed to be unknown. But now that the Empress had intervened…I’m sure she had sniffed something unusual in our plans and took this action!” The man, whose face was covered with a mask, snorted.

“And you, you are the reason behind this. Now those…beings will definitely skin us alive if the forces on this realm start preparing for what’s about to come!”

​”I… apologise, but I-I really don’t know what has happened! Aside from that strange ice—!!!” Morath’s eyes widened in horror!

​”S-Shit!!! N-No wonder it felt strange! That Icy orb that helped me progress in the Ice element…contained her essence inside it!? Bullshit!”
