When the blade of that weapon pierced Lothur's left chest, everyone in the surrounding area thought that the situation was over.
Some even thought they had overestimated this newcomer, while others felt anger that someone so weak had challenged them.
But after the leader of the Flame Faction withdrew his sword from Lothur's chest, feeling victorious, the expressions in the surroundings quickly changed.
The leader of that faction himself lost the calm look on his face while the two men who had tried to recruit Lothur frowned.
As he laughed, Lothur took off his shirt, revealing his wounded chest with a 10-centimeter-long cut across his chest and down his back.
While showing no pain, he demonstrated to all those people his insane regenerative ability!
Super Regeneration!
The tissues affected by his opponent's blow quickly recovered, closing that wound internally and externally in less than 5 seconds.
It happened so fast that the people in the area couldn't help but feel that something was wrong with Lothur.
The leader of the Flame Faction said in shock. "What? Impossible! You are only a Soul Core Transcendent!"
"Hahaha, you alone don't have enough to threaten my life!" Lothur shouted. "Bugs, all of you, come at once or run away, for I will kill you!"
At his words, the people in the surroundings tightened their fingers on their weapons as they circulated their energies.
Lothur's words before he was attacked had not provoked many reactions from them, who did not believe in his ability to react. But seeing what had just happened and hearing his provocation again, those people became serious, feeling that if they did not act, they would not be able to kill him!
"The wretch is a monster!"
"It's not for nothing that he acted grandly by entering our city!"
"Fellas, let's unite to kill the bastard!"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"If we do nothing, I feel that we really are in danger of being killed by the son of a bitch!"
"Wildflowers, what are you going to do?" Karlo shouted, feeling that he needed help from these people. "That little demon doesn't seem friendly to your people... Will you let him live when you know he's not friendly to you and is still so monstrous?"
Those two level 18 cultivators clenched their fists and glared at Lothur.
Their leader wanted to recruit this young man. Still, in addition to refusing their offer, this young man had clearly shown dangerous intentions for the future of their group.
"Damn it, brat! You chose this path. Don't forget that!" One said as he circulated his energies and prepared to attack, while the other was already flying in Lothur's direction.
With those words, more than 15 people between levels 17 and 18 went towards Lothur, some flying close to him, some running, and some sending long-range attacks.
But all of them and a few less brave ones were already within Lothur's range, making this young man very happy as he felt his bloodline skillfully ready to be reused.
Without further ado, Lothur once again used his soul power in conjunction with his bloodline ability, showing these people something similar to what he had already done in the Secret Realm.
When the red silhouette and flames of the same color appeared in Lothur's surroundings, each of those people felt that they had made a great mistake in acting against this young man.
Some of them even noticed the monstrous feeling coming from Lothur at that instant, realizing he was no ordinary human.
'What is it?'
'How can someone contain so much power inside himself?'
'This is wrong! This shouldn't be possible!'
'This boy is not human!'
Some of them tried to back away upon sensing Lothur's inhuman powers. Unfortunately for them, it was already too late.
When the activation of Lothur's bloodline ability ended, the bodies of those men began to burn in red flames.
Terrifying screams would come from there, along with that terrible feeling, which would spread throughout the interior of the Imperial Prison in the next few seconds.
Amid this moment when each inmate would fall silent and look in their direction, Lothur stood with open arms, digesting the cultivation comprehensions of those people along with their vitalities.
After 20 seconds, even the level 18 experts were consumed by the flames, not leaving corpses behind!
Thus, the system would soon show him his advances, putting a broad smile on Lothur's face.

[EVF: 2 -> 2,616]
The amount of EVF points absorbed was equivalent to the sum of the Constitution-associated vitalities of Lothur's victims, so even though they were powerful cultivators, they couldn't deliver many EVF points to their killer.
Soul cultivators were focused on the Soul attribute, so their bodies would never have as much power as Lothur's. Thus, even more than a dozen could not generate such an impressive harvest.
In any case, while people in the surrounding area looked in panic in his direction, Lothur ignored it and immediately converted EVF points into points for his Soul.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe could face a level 18 cultivator without his bloodline skill and even fight a group like that briefly. But without such a thing, he risked eventually perishing to groups only a little stronger.
Now that he had acted so drastically, he could only raise his level or risk facing death head-on in this place.

As he felt the size of his soul triple, Lothur felt a massive migraine, and his legs weakened, causing him to bend his knees and almost fall.
But he held on as his soul cultivation level improved significantly, approaching level 17. But this would not be enough for him to become a Nascent Soul Transcendent.
