Final stretch part 2

Nightin's eyes may have been closed this entire time, but that made it easier for him to sense the spirit energy fluctuations in the air, it wasn't just once or twice, but at least a few times every minute.

Nightin didn't speak or show concern for the Chaos Dragon, there may be slight appreciation due to his actions, but it was just a fair trade off between them in the end.

The Chaos Dragon turned his gaze to Nightin without alerting him. He already knows?

The Chaos Dragon thought to himself as the spirit energy booster array ruins shifted locations with each other, increasing the concentration of fire and wind energy by twice. The Samsara law, law of Life and law of Death may be too difficult to replicate, but the five basic elements were still within his range.

As for the space element which Kris comprehends, it was one of the few laws he cultivated alongside the calamity law as an amplifier law, he may only be at the half sage realm even at his peak for the space law, but he was definitely the pinnacle existence among half sages.

While Nightin sits down to comprehend the firestorm element which suddenly increased in concentration, his brows wrinkled in discontent, pursing his lips, he says "Chaos Dragon, what's the meaning of this? I believe that you should be able to see through my intentions."

"Don't panic young fella, this may be a selfish decision I've made, but the laws of space and concealment are truly unsuitable for you. You've underestimated the natural laws of fire and wind, you're also one of the few to have combined natural laws together and create a new law path."

"Believe in the natural laws of fire and wind you've merged together, the immense strength that you can bring forth from within them is unlimited and the limiter is you. You're the only person who's cultivating the firestorm you call as spirit energy unlike others, your body constitution has already been customised for the five laws you possess now and they're the greatest weapons in your arsenal."

The voice of the Chaos Dragon sounded off from one of the sound ruins this time, giving Nightin an idea that Kris himself was in a state where interruption or distraction can mean death.

After gathering his thoughts and taking a few deep breaths to change his mindset, Nightin centered himself accordingly while his body was cloaked in flames, streaks of wind forming the thin barrier to protect his body from the searing heat.

It's only at this point of time almost one year from back then that he questions himself, why did I forget about the firestorm law which is actually my own body?

It might seem foolish, but the firestorm law gradually began to lost it strength as his foes grow stronger, only now did he realise it wasn't as simple as just a law in the eyes of others, he was the true firestorm himself. His appearance is supposed to be that of a blazing meteorite that pierces through the air and use it as momentum, shattering through all space and concealments.

The Chaos Dragon knows that Nightin had already entered the sudden enlightenment realm once again as he sighs to himself "Is the sudden enlightenment realm that common for him? Even I only managed to awaken four of them in my lifetime."

Seeing that Kris was gaining the upper hand, the Chaos Dragon knows that he has to inflict some serious emotional damage, he has to make it through or he'll fall just like him in the past.

Life and Death battles may be fatal and even lead to a cultivator perishing, the great calamity might seem unstoppable as it leaves them helpless and left behind in the dust, but the heart was actually one's great internal conflict and greatest foe.

Clang

With a final clash, Kris and the phantom of himself both retreated three steps back, Kris was growing stronger throughout the battle and victory was in plain sight. He had already seen the next few moves to victory, but suddenly, the phantom starts to take on the face of a middle aged man.

The man had long brown hair that was straight, sharp brows and eyes which can never be seen through. Behind him was a woman with black hair with natural curls, but what was most eye catching about her was the birthmark of a star on her right palm. It was exactly the same as the one on Kris's hand.

"Father? Is that you? Mother? Is that you?" Kris asks weakly, he was fighting back to hold back his tears and his whole was quivering. His parents had left him just when he was only around seven years old, the suffering and coldness he had to endure as a young child was unimaginable by others.

"What is this? The array runes were broken through the moment I invited the heart demon in." The Chaos Dragon knows that the worst has possibly happened, the person who should be the heart demon had located Kris through that split moment of fluctuation.

That doesn't symbolises that the array ruins which he had spent hundreds of years creating were broken or weak, but the person must be a Overlord who exceeds him at his peak by at least thirty stars, an expert of the 87th star and above at least.

"You still recognise me even after eleven years?" His supposedly father speaks softly, but his words were like booming thunder in Kris ears.

"How could this be? There's no way you can be here!" Kris screams in agony as the vines around his heart suddenly constrain as its sharp thorns dig into his heart. The coldness in his father's words were just like sharp blades of icicles piercing into his heart.

His heavy sword falls onto the ground with a resounding clang, his body was quivering and tears were mixing in with the blood leaking from his eyes.

"Why... Why did you... Abandon me?" Kris asks with chaotic breath, his face was flushed red and coloured scarlet by his own life force.

The man turns to look towards the middle aged looking woman behind his back, contemplation was on his face with a mix of pain and straightforwardness.

The Chaos Dragon knows that things would soon go out of his control if he doesn't make a move soon. Taking on the form of shrouded darkness that resembles cloud, he makes his way through the wind and lines to pass through the arrays carved by himself with hundred of years worth of effort.

It would be disastrous if Kris learns about the great calamity right now, the man may not that he isn't permitted to let Kris in on this information of the barrier will loosen, but it seems like the man and wife had already made up the decision or death.

"Get out of my array ruins right now!" The Chaos Dragon warns at the top of his voice, two swirls of black vortex pierced through the air and combined together, forming a two headed dragon that was attempting to enjoy the feast before its eyes.

"Insolent!" The man says as he swings his arm, dissolving the attack of the Chaos Dragon without much difficulty.

Knowing that battle was probably a foolish choice, the Chaos Dragon takes a step back and asks "Just who are you and what are you trying to divulge to him?"

The man sneered "You're just someone of the younger generation who passed away before me, you aren't qualified to question someone like me who lived through the Origin Ancient era till now."

The Origin Ancient era was where those even higher talented demons before the dark age appear, but it's rumored that the dark age still crushed them and the person who awakened the 103th star. It's only then that they realise, the cultivation universe had nine universe and that they were the weakest, each other universe would always have a 105th star at least, the strongest being among all nine was already at the 107th star.

Many people questioned the 108th star to be immortality or attaining through god, but that will remain the mystery of the cultivation universes.

But now, just who's this man standing before him, wasn't it rumored and explained with factual history that all cultivators of the Origin Ancient era had perished?

Wasn't it believed that the cultivation era had already fallen twice and was built up from the cultivation civilization since the start.

"Just who the hell are you!?"
