21 Closing up

The sun was already setting and the darkness started to take place. The battlefield was dead silent and blood was very where.

"Okay, let's clean up theses corpuses and burn them down, or else we'll be in trouble if their sects discovers that we killed them."

Hammed and his mates already recovered from the early battle and started to reap the battle spoils. There were about 40 corpuses through the battlefield, from three different sects.

The trio obtained some goods items and resources, like spirit artifacts, Earth Level techniques, Earthly Essence stones, and other things. After, they made a little mountain out of theses corpuses.

"Now we just have to turn them into ashes." Hammed said looking at the mini mountain.

"Leave it to me." Rafael stepped forward and summoned a scarlet flame disintegrating everything into dust and ashes.

"I don't know you guys, but I'm very close to breaking through the Mid Essence Plane Realm and form my Lesser Domain." Said Leonard as the ashes flew with the wind.

Hammed and Rafael looked at him nodding, since they too were close to a breakthrough. After having their bloodlines upgraded and gained experience after a life and death battle, they wouldn't have any bottleneck to the next realm.

Hammed looked at his surroundings with his ocular powers. Behind them was a thick forest and the horizon ahead was filled with big mountains. After a while he turned around to Rafael and Leonard saying "Let go to the mountains. It's safer than other areas around here and we can dig a cave and closeup in cultivation for the last three months of the realm."

Rafael and Leo confirmed with a nod as Hammed took the flying wagon out of his ring and the trio leaped into it and disappeared in the dark night.

...

At a high and desolate mountain peak, filled with thick snow and formed of old black magmatic stone, a white flash passed through the sky and posed. Three youths jumped down to the ground from the wagon and walked to a tall stone wall.

The bigger one with giant black wings on his back stepped forward and formed some strange seals with his hands. Seconds later, the magmatic stone wall started to get scarlet color and melt, forming a big cave.

The trio walked in as a wall of scarlet stone closed the entry and turned black again. Obviously it was Hammed's group. The youth with some draconic golden scales covering his body stepped forward and started to hold stones and inject lighting into them. As they started to glow. he placed them at the corners. It was Leonard.

"Why those scales didn't disappear from your body after you putted your armor away?" Hammed asked Leonard as he observed his Bro's arms and chest.

"My bloodline always was a draconic-type, however it was dormant. After you gave me that bloodline cultivation technique and my body interacted with this biologic-armor made out of Lightning Dragon's skin, my bloodline started to awake." Leo explained to his bros.

"So that's it." Hammed and Rafael commented.

The cave was shaped in a triangular form and had three big compartments, each for one of them. They were big and spaced between each other, since when someone broke through the Mid Essence Plane Realm, they would form a Lesser Domain, and the three could attack each other during the breakthrough if they were to close.

Hammed summoned the Sacred Scripture of Creation, and opened at a page instructing how to make a Essence Concentrating Diagram out of Earth Essence stones.

Rafael and Leonard looked astounded at Hammed as the latter built a big triangular diagram at the center of the cave, following the instructions of the dark ancient book floating in the air.

They thought to themselves "Bro Hammed's bloodline is so cool and heaven defying. Beyond being a eye-type, it can heal and summon a ancient gate and book!!"

At each point of the diagram, he placed Peak Essence stones. Then he turned to Rafael and Leo saying "Bros, take out every fire, earth, lightning, time and space element artifacts and itens."

The two swinged their hands as a little mountain os itens formed in front of them. There was divine stones, medicinal herbs, weapons and other things. Hammed picked up those items and placed time and space itens at one point, fire and earth ones on other and lightning itens at the last one.

After that, Hammed started to draw a seal in the air with his essence and sent it flying in Rafael's direction. It landed at his chest and stayed there. Then he repeated the process with Leonard and himself.

"Now we just need to sit down and make our breakthrough" said Hammed as he walked to his part of the cave. The other two also went to their own corners and sat down to start their cultivation...
