Earth Immortal Freak (3)

Wasn't this exactly why he and his race was doing what they did...? Oblivion's emotions didn't fluctuate even after seeing Wang's ruthlessness. Anger and rage were nonexistent. Neither any pleasure nor excitement.

Levitating in the skies, directly up above the group, Oblivion remained imperceptible to the ones below him. His expression was cold and his aura... there was none. It was impossible to sense his aura, hence he could stand in the skies directly above them yet, they didn't realize anything.

"Maybe, I should finish this fast. Even though it'll be more beneficial to kill them with my sword, the most important thing right now is to enter the Profound Immortal realm!"

Oblivion's eyes released a hidden killing intent. Slowly stretching out his hand, the right palm faced the snowy surface below, aiming straight toward the group of cultivators below. His open right palm gleamed ever so slightly, and a white light exited it.

Forming below his palm was a ball of a mysterious white structure. The thing didn't release any presence at all. Even if one was present and watched it with their bare eyes, they'll still feel as if it wasn't there. It would feel akin to an illusion...

{Annihilation}

...

...

The men and women remained quiet, speechless due to the ruthlessness showed by Wang Xuan who had done all this with a face filled with indifference. Unknowingly, these figures who once had confidence in their ability felt as if they were mere pigs for slaughter.

If a Pseudo Golden Immortal was this strong, what about true Golden Immortals?! Suddenly, their eyes seemed to have been opened. None of them could say they can suppress a ninth-level Profound Immortal, let alone instantly kill him.

Sensing this subtle change in their gazes, Wang Xuan grinned internally. The stares filled with awe, respect, and fear made Wang Xuan's mood brighten.

'This is how it should be. Profound Immortals and Pseudo Golden Immortals aren't from the same world. With this armor, even amongst the Pseudo Golden Immortals, I can be considered a pinnacle power. It's only natural that mere Profound Immortals are this respectful.'

Adorning himself in the mysterious armor that was one of the treasures the City Lord was searching for, Wang Xuan had found himself growing in confidence.

His current control over his element was greatly amplified due to it. In terms of control, he could even be comparable to average First Level Golden Immortals.

At the same time, his expression darkened. His eyes radiated a mysterious silvery blue glow as they shot toward the skies above. At this moment, his body turned into a blur.

The weird actions of Wang Xuan left the others shocked and confused. Imagine seeing the body of a completely sane man suddenly tremble as it then disappeared in front of your eyes.

This was what the surrounding cultivators saw. Wang Xuan's gaze darted toward the skies before his body visibly trembled and then disappeared.

With curiosity but also worry, the more intelligent Profound Immortals nearby also followed his actions as their figures turned into blurs and fled the scene.

Still, half of them were more curious about what was seen in the skies. Their gaze turned to the skies, where they saw a white structure in the shape of a beam rushing toward their locations.

Fwoosh!

A gust of wind blew past them. Before they could react, their bodies had begun to dematerialize, as if their very atomic structure was being reassembled. The white light fully enveloped their bodies by now, sealing their fate for eternity.

At the same time, the gust of wind gathered together, forming a white mist that rushed back toward the skies and then into the pores of the one who caused their demise.

Though some targets had escaped, Oblivion didn't ponder on them any longer. After all, he had just killed ten Profound Immortals, earning 1,000 steps.

Closing his eyes, his consciousness appeared in a mysterious place. Standing on a fleet of stairs, he took one step. A step that seemed to have defied the law of space.

The distance of 1,000 steps was instantly torn apart. At the same time, he braced himself, expecting the unexpected.

He wasn't sure exactly how his tribulation to enter the Profound Immortal realm would be. After all, he wasn't controlling an element but instead nothing.

It couldn't be labeled as an element of the universe. As for the fact that he might get a tribulation much stronger than others, it also surfaced in his mind, he even braced himself ready for it, hence he didn't chase the targets.

Silence...

A few seconds passed. For him, a few seconds was a countless amount of time. At a certain level, the perception of time passing would be torn to pieces. Oblivion frowned, unable to understand what happened.

"Oh, well I did expect this but, for it to happen." Oblivion's cold and monotone voice which didn't reveal any emotions suddenly resounded throughout.

"To break through a small realm, I merely needed five hundred steps. But, it seems that to break through a great realm, it'll be much more..!"

At the same time, his figure had already disappeared from the skies over the endlessly deep pit that was caused by the battle between himself and Xavier.

Ignoring the other Profound Immortals, Oblivion rushed toward Wang Xuan's direction. Previously, he didn't care since he thought he would break through but, now that he had time to think...

"How did he manage to detect my attack..?"

Oblivion wasn't annoyed or angered though, his interest was certainly peaked. For Wang Xuan to be able to sense his attack, to sense nothing...

"Is he also a True Lifeform?" Oblivion couldn't help but think about the ability of Instantaneous Reaction that his previous other half had.

'But, wasn't that ability supposedly only the fusion of soul and body, so something like sensing my attack shouldn't be possible.' Thinking this, Oblivion's face darkened.

'Didn't the previous master mention something about the ability not being complete? Is it that at a certain level, this ability could also detect threats to the body, like reading the future or something..?'

As his thoughts reached this point, the image of Wang Xuan's glowing silvery blue eyes appeared in his mind. 'But, then, his element was activated. So, does it mean that it was his element that allowed him to sense my attack?'

Oblivion couldn't believe that there was an element that could counter his nothingness.

'It's probably because both of us aren't on the same playing field.'

'His comprehension of that element is already at the peak of the Profound Immortal realm while mine is merely stuck in the Earth realm.'

By the time he realized this, his figure had already traveled thousands of miles in a couple of seconds as he had caught up to Wang Xuan. A surprised expression was visible on Oblivion's face.

"Oh, how come you stopped running away with your tail between your legs?" At this moment, contempt flashed in Oblivion's taunting words.

"You!"

Wang Xuan, who was always the one berating others with a look of mockery plastered on his face was instantly angered greatly by Oblivion's words.

"What?" Oblivion smirked...

Huff!

Huff!

Huff!

Oblivion seemed to overdramatize his every breath. With a look of mockery on his face, he then asked with a thoughtful expression toward the now-red with anger Wang Xuan.

"I breathe in and out and now you're offended. Are you some type of young master...?!"
