Chapter 48: Vanishing Dragon Balance Breaker

"Ancient Sage Artifact" the man in silver narrowed his eyes and said in shock. He was quite surprised seeing Kareem wielding an Ancient Sage Artifact considering his cultivation was quite low. A powerful one at that too possessing its own consciousness.

At least that was the deduction he made. What he did not know was Kareem was not wielding an Ancient Sage Artifact but a Scared Gear a Mid-Tier Longinus. He himself possessed an Ancient Sage Artifact. One he attained through great difficulty.

"I do not know how you possess on an artifact of that caliber. But know it will sever me well after your death..." saying that he sent out immense soul pressure towards Kareem.

Kareem felt immense pressure bore down on his soul as if a mountain was pressed down onto his shoulders. His Spirit threatened to dissipate. He activated Heavens Path Soul Art to the max and only then did he feel the pressure diminish a little.

The pressure from an Ancient Sage 4-dan Void Shattering expert was no joke. Kareem literally felt as if his spirit would dissipate. He was only a clone of the original so his soul was already weakened if not him practicing Heaven's Path Soul Art he might have already disappeared in a poof of smoke.

If he was to cause the original injury to his soul wouldn't he feel like a failure compared to all his fellow clones? Since he was the clone of the original any injury he suffered to his soul would transfer directly to the original. Thinking about it now he was feeling pissed. Veins started bulging on his forehead as his hair turn golden. His clothes changed into that of The Jade Emperor.

Shuuuu!

Kareem fired off his haki at max capacity. His conquerors haki collide with the soul force causing blue sparks to appear in the surroundings. They were both fighting with their soul and will. After all, a battle was not only physical but mental and spiritual. Whoever had a stronger desire to win will win.

Unfortunately for Kareem, he was on the losing end. A third eye appeared on his forehead as he slammed his hand down onto the ground after waving a few hand signs. Wood burst forth from the ground heading at the man in silver armor at immense speed.

Seeing the incoming attack the man snared disdainfully. Stepping forward majestically a sword appeared in his hand. Slashing down magnificent sword qi burst forth cutting the wood in pieces. Use some sort of movement technique he appeared in front of Kareem in an instant.

Slashing down heavily the blade made a sizzling sound as it traveled through the air. Kareem was caught off guard with the sudden attack. But luckily he was able to react in time activating his Sharingan making the blade pass right through him.

Kamui!

The space in front of Kareem started to swirl in a circle as he attempted to draw him into his Kamui space. Reacting quickly the man jumped back abruptly dodging the attack.

"Hmm," Kareem snared as he got up from the ground brushing off his hands. With a flick of his wrist, the legendary blade Yoru appeared in his hand.

"You possess unique techniques and skillfully manipulation of space. Unfortunately for you I Yong Sun I'm a master of spatial laws...." tapping the air lightly a dazzling light left his finger.

Space trembled for a bit before it was sealed tightly. Meaning Kareem wouldn't be able to Kamui anymore. Unless he was able to break the seal somehow. But a last he did not currently possess no such skill in his arsenal.

"You seem to think you have everything in your gasp. My cultivation might be low but I still have tricks up my sleeve.." using Shunpo he appeared in front of Yong Sun in an instant.

Ding!

Their swords started clashing. No matter what angel Kareem attacked from his words would get deflected to the side. Changing his strategy he increased his speed and power behind his attacks. Yet the results were the same.

Yong Sun had some distance between him and Kareem before saying "Did I forget to mention I have comprehended the Sword Quintessence of defense and speed?"

Kareem was startled hearing this although his Swordsmanship was amazing compared to others he had only comprehended sword intent. Even with his various Swordsmanship Inheritances. Sword Quintessence was something he needed Heavens Path Sword Art to comprehend.

"F*ck this shit" flying up into the air blue wings once again appeared behind him.
