Path of Absolute Transcendence

Chapter 76: 76. Acquired

Kai didn't try to attack the ape immediately; instead, he took a spirit stone to restore his energy.

He also used his bloodline ability to absorb the darkness elements l in his surroundings.

After recovering to his peak condition, Kai looked at the ape. The ape was in bad condition; it was poisoned by the Whisper King and slowly dying.

Kai patiently waited for the ape to waste its remaining energy on removing the poison.

'Now, I should test the waters with this.'

Kai made a spear with his Will Manifestation and only added his sword intent and darkness energy to it. He threw the spear at the same spot.

But the spear didn't hit the ape; it disappeared before it could reach the ape.

The ape located the direction of the spear and sent a lightning bolt. The lightning utterly destroyed everything in its path.

'It seems the ape didn't forget about my existence.'

Kai had already left the place after throwing the spear. He wanted to check that the ape had any spare energy to counterattack.

He attacked the ape using the same strategy. The ape began to wear out after five throws.

'Now it's time for me to attack.'

Kai didn't immediately attack and waited for the moon's arrival. Soon, the surroundings became dark and

Kai used his Will Power to manipulate the darkness law and reduce his presence.

He went near the ape and formed a pair of swords using Will Manifestation.

He controlled the sword using his Will Power and attacked from a distance. The ape defended the attack using its remaining strength, but it wasn't able to hold on for a long time.

The poison and the siphoning had already killed the ape by more than ninety percent.

[Absolute]

Kai used his strongest move and finished the ape without any surprise.

'It seems its vitality isn't that strong.'

After confirming that the ape was dead, Kai went near it. He searched for the fragment in its body.

'I finally found it after a lot of hardships.'

Kai thought while holding the fragment.

The first fragment in his vibrated, seemingly happy about the arrival of its other part.

Kai received information about the ability of the second fragment. After digesting the information, Kai smiled happily.

'At least all the troubles were worth it.'

The ability of the second fragment was called [Astral Projection]. Using this ability, it is possible to make another body by using soul power.

The astral body is capable of fighting using the soul power of the user, and it won't cause any damage to the user other than exhaustion of soul power.

'Now that I have finally obtained this fragment, I can rest a bit.'

Kai decided to give him a well-deserved rest since he hadn't rested a single bit for a long time. He was either cultivating or patiently waiting for the ape to leave.

Kai left his tree house and set up an detection formation and defensive information.

The detection formation will alter him in case of any possible intruder. Kai slept after carefully checking everything once again.

"I feel refreshed; now it is time to find the third fragment." Kai muttered after waking up from his long sleep.

Kai knew that the third fragment was in the direction of the north. It was mentioned in the book of the first explorer.

Kai left the place after he got ready. He didn't waste a lot of time since he didn't want extend in this world.

Kai flew in air since he is in the southern part of the Death Abyss and he needs to cover a lot of distance.

'The Death Abyss lives up to its name.'

Kai saw a lot of barren land on his path, and he didn't even see a single living being.

Kai began to doubt that the authenticity of the book since the land became more barren and desolate the more he moved on his path.

After a long time, both of his fragments reacted and pointed in a direction. It was deeper into the barren land.

'Why do I feel danger?' Kai began to doubt, but he chose to believe his intuition since it helped him most of the time.

Kai slowed down his speed and carefully began his search. He checked everywhere but didn't find the existence of the fragment.

But the reaction to his fragment only got bigger and bigger.

"What's wrong with you this time? I didn't see anything here in this barren land." Kai scolded the fragment. He can't keep his concentration if the fragment is just vibrating in his hand.

Kai carefully searched again, but he didn't find anything.

Kai thought for a long time and finally concluded.

"Is the fragment inside the ground?" Kai asked doubtfully to the fragment.

The fragment jumped into his hands fiercely. It seems they are agreeing with him.

"Why did the fragment got buried inside the ground? Is there no strong beast here?" Kai began to doubt.

The fragment may seem like a piece of scrap for him, but tier 4 beasts or dryads can easily see through its extraordinariness.

It was the reason that the ape held the fragment with it. The Whisper King also searched for the fragment for a long time for the same reason.

Both of them are Tier 4 beings and know the existence of Innate Treasure.

But the fragment here to be buried in the ground seems suspicious.

'Did no Tier 4 beast encounter the fragment, or is there a Tier 4 beast underground?' Kai thought about the possible solution.

But he soon didn't think the first one was possible. The fight between the first explorer and the Abyssal Dragon must be seen by other powerful beasts.

When the explorer threw the fragment, those beasts must have noticed the location and taken it for themselves.

'With the Heavenly Dao's interference, I think it may be possible.'

Without any expectations, Kai dug the ground. It wasn't hard for him, and he easily dug more than a hundred meters.

But Kai found a huge surprise in his search.
