Path of Absolute Transcendence

Chapter 73: 73. Death?

In the heart of an ancient forest, a peculiar and terrifying phenomenon unfolds. The very earth trembles and the trees themselves seem to uproot and lurch forward in a menacing pursuit of a lone young man.

The lone young man was none other than Kai, he calmly attracted the wrath of the Whispers and led them towards the Ape.

The Whisper Trees attacked him, using their roots to slow him down or try to capture him.

But they weren't able to do that since Kai used his Will Power and made a forbidden zone around him. He did that by exploiting the weaknesses of the trees.

The trees began to slow down a little after leaving their territory.

'Wow, these trees have some intelligence. But I won't let you go that easily.' Kai thought to himself and used his Will Power to attack them.

He made a huge fireball in the air and attacked them at the center to disrupt their coordination.

The fireball fell from the sky like an asteroid and caught them off guard. A single Whisper Tree was directly killed by the impact. Some of them were injured badly.

'Oh sh**! I should have controlled my power.'

A single attack wasn't enough to kill them, but the fire element attack made it possible.

Seeing their companion getting killed and injured, the remaining whisper trees became furious and chased him madly.

Kai started running away from them, and he occasionally threw a small fireball to provoke them.

After a long chase, Kai finally arrived near the location. The ape was sleeping and didn't care about its territory being invaded.

'What a lazy beast. It didn't even care about its territory.'

Seeing that it didn't respond as he expected, Kai took the spear from his storage ring. He added sword intent with corrosion and penetration attributes.

He further added the stored darkness energy at the tip to make it more lethal.

'Although this attack wouldn't be fatal, it will injure you.' Kai thought and threw the spear towards the ape.

The ape woke up from its sleep and looked around in confusion. Seeing the incoming attack, it instinctively blocked it with its hand.

The spear directly pierced its hand and struck the abdomen.

*KIAAAAA*

The ape screamed in anger, and it woke up from its slumber.

'Oh shit! I didn't expect my attack to pierce it's hand.' Kai cursed himself for not checking the power of his ability.

The reason he was able to pierce its defense was because of his Darkness Absorption ability. The energy stored inside his bloodline will get stronger over time due to the circulation of blood.

The longer the energy is stored, the stronger the attack when it is used. The same goes for when he buffs himself.

'Now, I need to reconsider the rank of my ability.'

Seeing the situation getting out of his hands, Kai tried to fly away from this place.

But the ape already noticed Kai and activated its domain.

The sound of lightning and thunder struck the entire area became dark, and a lot of clouds formed. Lightning appeared from time to time. Every lightning strike razed the surroundings.

But that wasn't the end of it; it activated its bloodline power. The thunder ape that was seven meters long became a five-hundred-meter behemoth.

Its Titan bloodline increased its size and strength. The domain also engulfed the surroundings, and it soon became something like a mini world.

It locked onto Kai and the Whisper Tree. It waved its hand towards them; a huge lightning capable of destroying everything on earth appeared and struck towards them.

Kai and the Whisper Trees weren't able to dodge the attack and turned into ashes without any resistance.

The lightning didn't stop after that, it traveled more than a mile before it stopped. Everything on its path was destroyed.

The ape didn't stop with that; instead, it went on a rampage. It attacked every beast in its path.

Suddenly, the thunderstorm broke into pieces, and everything returned to normal. But soon, a very big tree rose from the ground.

The width of the tree is bigger than that of a small town. It was bigger than the ape, and every branch of it was brimming with life.

The tree directly confronted the ape. A large number of roots appeared around its feet and held it tightly.

The tree slowly moved towards the ape. Each of its steps made the ground tremble, and the ape wasn't able to move.

Soon, both behemoths confronted each other.

"Why did you kill my descendants?" The tree asked in a hoarse voice.

The ape didn't answer the questions, instead, it became angry. The thunder element in the surroundings began to riot and gathered towards the ape.

Soon, with the help of the thunder element, the thunder ape broke free from the restraint.

It attacked the tree using its claw. The claw was filled with destructive thunder elements.

Sensing the danger, the tree made a wall in front of it using its root. The claw easily ripped apart the root, but before it could move, the roots bound it.

Its claws got struck inside the root, and the ape became angry and used its other claw to tear the wall.

But before it could attack, the tree used its branch to attack. The attack struck in the abdomen, the same place that Kai's spear pierced.

Since Kai used the corrosion attribute and darkness in his attack, both of them canceled the regeneration of the ape.

The darkness element is naturally corrosive; with the combination of the corrosion attribute and the strengthening of the darkness absorption ability, it increased its strength.

This further infuriated the ape, and it activated its bloodline ability.

[(A/N): Bloodline power and bloodline abilities were different. The bloodline power is more like a transformation, and the ability is like the one that Kai obtained.]
