Path of Absolute Transcendence

"You are too greedy." He paused and looked at Kai. "And do I look like an idiot?"

"No, you are smart, and that\'s why I\'m asking you."

"Well, if you defeat me fair and square, I will become your slave or subordinate."

"Okay, I won\'t force you. Now, tell me, how did you break the seal on your bloodline?" Kai finally asked the question that had bugged him from the start.

"HA HA HA! I won\'t tell you, but keep guessing." Sebastian said this and continued his laughter.

Sebastian didn\'t have any fear of facing his death; he only had some regrets about achieving his goal.

"Since you are not going to tell me, I will send you on your way," Kai said and manifested a sword using his willpower.

He directly stabbed the sword at Sebastian\'s core, which regenerated before Kai sealed his cultivation.

But Kai didn\'t stop; he cut every part of his body into pieces and burned it into ashes.

After confirming Sebastian died more than once, Kai sat down in silence.

Kai felt weird about himself. He massacred more than ten million people, and he didn\'t have an ounce of pity or regret on his face. He acted regularly and still thought about making Sebastian his subordinate in this situation.

"Am I emotionless, or am I just pretending?" Kai had this doubt for a long time.

He always skipped these questions when they appeared in his head or didn\'t take them seriously.

Kai took a moment to compose himself and quietly contemplate his feelings. He wanted to know about his feelings right now.

The feelings and thoughts of a person can be confusing at times. It was really hard to understand their true emotions or feelings by themselves.

Kai opened his eyes after a long time. He didn\'t find the exact answer he wanted, but he knew he didn\'t feel any remorse for killing anyone.

As Sebastian said, his greed has no bounds. His character became self-centered and selfish. It developed to the point that he wanted to achieve his goals by any means.

"Maybe only time will answer my questions." Kai sighed and stood up.

Before he could check his loot, the sky began to crack.

The entire sky broke into pieces like a mirror.

\'Oh shi*! How could I forget about that?\' Kai cursed and began to run away from the sand kingdom.

The sand kingdom is located underground, which means it shouldn\'t have a sky. The fragment formed a dome around the entire kingdom, which looked like a sky. Since Kai took the fragment, it broke down without any source.

The reason Kai left the kingdom immediately was because of the existence of explosive centipedes. The only reason that the explosive centipedes didn\'t invade was because of their existence, which covered the entire capital.

If it didn\'t exist, the kingdom would have been invaded by them many times, and Sebastian wouldn\'t have had enough time to take advantage of it.

But it seems Kai didn\'t have enough time to escape; soon, the entire underground began to shake.

Large holes began to appear above Kai in many places. A huge head with antennae peeked from the hole; it made some weird noise.

As soon as the noise was heard, a lot of centipedes began to appear from the holes. They jumped from the holes and landed on the ground.

Soon, they started searching for prey. But not finding anything in the vicinity, the centipedes began destroying everything they saw.

Kai watched everything unfold from a distance.

\'I should leave here as soon as possible.\'

But before he could leave, a centipede appeared. It plunged towards him with the intent of devouring him.

Kai moved sideways to evade the centipede, and after that, he manipulated gravity to directly crush it into pieces. The centipede that attacked Kai was only Tier 1, so he didn\'t have any difficulties.

The reason Kai crushed it using gravitational force was because he didn\'t want to attract other centipedes. The fire or any other element would raise noise, which he didn\'t want.

Kai encountered many centipedes on his path, but most of them weren\'t strong, and he easily killed them using his gravity manipulation.

Soon he encountered his first trouble on his path; it was a group of Tier 3 centipedes.

\'How should I kill them without any noise?\'

Kai thought for a while and decided not to kill any of them. He didn\'t want it to attract any unnecessary attention in this tense situation. He also wasn\'t sure about killing them without making any sounds.

Kai manipulated the darkness element in the surroundings and reduced his presence. After that, he merged with the shadows and waited for them to pass him.

Nothing unexpected happened, and Kai successfully crossed them without any trouble since they left after not finding any food.

After playing hide-and-seek for a long time, Kai saw the tunnel that he had entered.

\'Ah! I can finally escape this damn place.\'

Kai went towards the tunnel and escaped the sand kingdom without any trouble. He didn\'t encounter any unfortunate incidents on his path, which even surprised him.

Kai watched the sand kingdom be destroyed by the centipedes.

\'Everything got destroyed in a matter of seconds, given how long it took.\'

Kai left the place after reminiscing about it. He arrived at the ground after five minutes, and a big surprise waited for him.

Kai saw a lot of centipedes surrounding him as soon as he looked around. Most of them had a hungry look on their faces.

\'I was just happy with the fact that I didn\'t encounter any unfortunate events, but it seems impossible for me.\'

Kai directly denotated the entire surrounding area and left immediately without even turning back. Because more than a thousand centipedes were near him, Kai wouldn\'t be able to battle them even in his peak condition.

Kai already used almost all of his energy during the battle with Sabastian, and he only recovered a bit of it. If he were to fight them now, it would be a certain death situation.

The explosion didn\'t cause much damage to the centipedes. Most of them are Tier 3, so they soon recovered from the impact and chased Kai.

But Kai had already escaped far away from their place; his objective was to leave the desert. The centipedes won\'t come out of their territories, and if they do, other species won\'t let them invade their territory, so Kai planned to use that and escape.

It seems the centipedes also thought about the same plan; they increased their speed and fired a lot of magma balls toward him.

Kai dodged and reflected on everything that came towards him.

\'Why are these idiots chasing me? I won\'t even consider it as a snack?\' he thought while running.

The centipedes are more than twenty meters in height and five meters in width; with their body propositions, they won\'t be able to fill their stomachs by eating Kai alone, and the most ridiculous part of it is that most of the centipedes in the ground don\'t need food to sustain themselves.

Kai made another explosion using the fire element, and this time he didn\'t target them; instead, he exploded the path between him and the centipedes.

Due to the explosion, a lot of smoke was produced, which shielded the vision between him and the centipedes.

After the smoke screen disappeared, the centipedes looked around in confusion instead of chasing Kai. They didn\'t find their prey; Kai just disappeared.

Almost every centipede searched with anger and madness. Some even attacked their companions out of hunger, but most of the ones who attacked were Tier 2.

The Tier 3 centipedes searched the traces of Kai and left without finding anything. They controlled other centipedes and soon left the place.

\'Phew! They finally left the place,\' Kai thought while appearing out of thin air.

Kai used the ability of the third fragment to escape the situation.

Its ability is called [Omnipresent Veil], capable of concealing almost anything. It could even conceal the fate of a person if it is provided with enough energy.

It consumes energy for every second of activation, so Kai won\'t be able to use it as he wishes.

Sebastian used Tier 5 as a source to hide his entire kingdom, so he didn\'t have to worry about that. It was because of this that he placed both fragments and treasures near.

Kai didn\'t want to waste the energy of Tier 5 Treasure anymore. Sebastian can replenish them using faith energy, but Kai doesn\'t have that luxury.
