Eternal Cultivation of Alchemy

Determination flared in Alex's eyes. He had had enough of others using his body, leaving him to be destitute.

The black fog that was taking over his spiritual sea only served to get him angrier.

Now that he had got somewhat of his mind back, Alex decided to take back his body from whatever that black goop was.

So, he jumped off of the surface of the spiritual sea and flew up to the sky.

* * * * *

Lady Ren blocked the black slash. While Godslayer's black slashes could easily destroy most things, the white glow her paws shined in was somehow able to stop them.

This got Godslayer really confused. It wasn't that he had never met anyone that could block this attack. In fact, it was the opposite.

Every single one it had fought could at some level block the black slashes. That was even true when It had its actual body to fight in.

So, being blocked wasn't anything new. Rather, the thing that was surprising and confusing was the fact that there was someone out here in the middle of nowhere that could stop it.

"You have gained my respect little missy. I don't know what you are using with that white glow, but the fact that you can block my attacks means that you are quite strong."

"How about you let me take over your body? I can bring you to places you have never been to before. I can show you the strength you can't even begin to imagine," the Godslayer said.

"Hmph!" Lady Ren sneered towards it. "I am the wife of a White Tiger. What can you do that my husband already couldn't?"

Godslayer stopped. "White Tiger?" he looked suspiciously.

It looked around and finally noticed that they were all feline beasts. It spent some precious moments thinking about what he had just learned before coming to a conclusion.

"So this is one of the lands the four beasts sent their folks to, huh?" it asked. "I had heard about them doing these things.

White Tiger. They were fearsome creatures that everyone learned to keep away from because of how strong they were.

They were one of the 4 beasts that were blessed by the first of the 2 gods.

Blessed by the God, they were like gods themselves.

Godslayer smirked. It was born to kill them.

"I will really enjoy killing you all now."

* * * * *

Alex flew right beneath the black fog. He could feel a deep sense of fear, but his anger and determination overpowered it.

He stretched his hands into the fog, both of them. Being in his spiritual world, he had both of his arms with him at the moment.

Just because he lost his arms outside didn't mean that he now saw himself as an armless man.

He felt a sharp mental pain when he touched the black fog like it was trying to consume him. However, he wasn't going to let that happen.

"AAAHHH!!" he shouted as brilliant yellow light exploded all around him. Vast amounts of yellow fog appeared around him bringing splendid illumination to the darkened environment.

The yellow fog started getting denser around Alex as it fought the black fog directly.

Soon, Alex was so covered in the yellow fog that he too started looking like he was made up of fog itself.

No, he was the fog itself. Alex lost his physical form and fully transformed into the yellow fog to fight the black fog.

As soon as the black fog came into contact with the yellow fog, it immediately was destroyed.

Alex got more confident. It would only take him a few minutes to clear it all.

The black goop noticed it and was not very happy about it. However, it could not go defend itself at the moment, as there was another fight it was fighting on the outside.

* * * *

Godslayer frowned. For the first time since it had escaped from the sword, it lost its smile.

'How the hell is this kid destroying me? What is that yellow fog? And how is it so strong?' it thought. It was definitely going to lose to Alex if it did not do something quickly.

A layer of black miasma floated in front of it, creating a sort of barrier in front of Alex.

A paw strike landed on the black barrier, destroying it. However, Godslayer that was behind it was perfectly fine.

Lady Ren frowned. The attacks she was sending out were enough to turn the area around them into dust. However, the thing that had taken over Alex was easily stopping the attacks.

It went on to show just how powerful the black entity was, but also, it went onto show just how strong Alex was.

The Godslayer couldn't become this strong if it wasn't drawing the potential from within Alex to fuel its power.

If not for that, the Godslayer would never be strong enough to fight her in her current condition.

She thought of going the extra step to deal with it once and for all, but every time she thought so, a deep fear sprung up in her heart, stopping her.

Godslayer started going on the offensive. It sent out multiple slashes at once towards Lady Ren. It was drawing incredible power from deep within Alex, leaving him a little weak at the moment.

All of the 4 beasts on the outside could see how thin Alex's body had already gotten.

Any more and Alex likely wouldn't be able to survive even if the thing left his body.

Godslayer was incredibly angry at the moment. Alex had already destroyed half of the black fog it had been using to slowly take over his mind.

By now, half of the blackness in his eyes was gone, revealing the white part of the eyes.

It didn't know how the boy's spiritual sea was so strong, but it needed to send out some sort of retaliation right now.

For that, it needed to get rid of the beast in front of him first. 'This will put me in a severe situation, but… I have no choice,' it thought before raising the sword towards the sky.

A vortex appeared on the sword as all the air in the surroundings moved towards it. All of the beasts could see wisps of blacklight moving into the sword as well.

Lady Ren's eyes went wide as she saw the aura piling up. This was bad. The attack was starting to go beyond the realm of what was possible in this world.

This was incredibly bad.

Godslayer cared none for what he was doing and simply slashed down towards the white cat. At the same time, it focused on its find in the spiritual sea.

The 3 saint beasts got terrified. This was an attack beyond their level as well.

Lady Ren saw the massive black slash that destroyed air itself as it flew towards her. If she let that attack hit her, she would surely die.

If she dodged it, it would surely destroy half of their realm, and kill almost everything it touched.

Neither of the choices was something she was willing to make. So, she decided to block the sword slash.

A fantastic aura exploded from deep within her. As the aura released, her cultivation base reached sky high and even seemed to go beyond that.

She released her Immortal Realm cultivation base.

The 3 saint beasts couldn't help but bow before her in reverence.

Lady Ren used her newly brought forth power and roared into the black slash.

A powerful sound erupted that could be heard from all over the secret realm, and even a little further beyond. Her sound turned into an attack that traveled to the black slash completely destroying it.

The task had been as easy as beating a True realm cultivator as a Saint realm cultivator.

However, the thing that frightened her the most had yet to come.

She looked up to the sky with terror in her eyes as dark clouds quickly filled the sky.

It was coming.

Heavenly Judgement.

* * * * *

The more black fog Alex destroyed, the easier it got to destroy the rest of the fog. By the time Godslayer had turned his focus back onto the spiritual sea, his influence on the mind was nearly gone.

"You damn, human," it shouted.

Alex turned towards it. The yellow fogs condensed to become Alex once again.

"You are ruining everything," Godslayer shouted and jumped towards Alex. As soon as it reached Alex, it covered his whole mental avatar and tried to destroy it.

However, Alex didn't worry about it. He had already realized how strong his mental strength was.

With a simple thought, yellow fog exploded from him, destroying the black goop he was touching.

The black goop started to get destroyed under the yellow fog and soon it dwindled to almost nothingness.

When all the fog and goop disappeared, all that was remained was a crystal ball the size of his fists. He tried to use the yellow fog to destroy it as well, but he realized he couldn't.

The crystal was something he couldn't destroy at all. He could feel the thing still alive inside of it, however, he didn't need to worry as it no longer held any strength at all.

Alex finally sighed in relief as he got his body back. He then left his spiritual sea and immediately felt the pain all over his body.

The thing had wrecked his body more than he had thought. He could barely even feel his Qi.

At the same time, something else took his attention. He looked in front of him to see the beasts looking at the sky.

Alex looked up as well and his jaw dropped.

A massive vortex of energy was gathering in the sky. One that was stronger than anything he had ever seen.
