The Story Never Ends

Chapter 217 - Devouring The Saint Crystal



"Whoosh!"

Terrifying blood-colored flames burned all over Davion's body and he felt tremendous power coursing through his body. He felt like he could destroy the world with his fists. This feeling was more intense than the last time.

Anyways, he didn't do anything unnecessary and simply tore apart the space with his bare hands.

"Crack"

Seeing this, Siena had her mouth wide open. She couldn't believe traveling through worlds was this easy for him. Moreover, she became furious when she recalled how he lied about making a teleportation formation.

"You are such a liar. You have been bullshitting me from the start." Her chest heaved up and down in anger. There was not a single ounce of truth coming out from his mouth.

"Haha, leave that for later. It's time to go." He hooked his finger, and Siena was pulled towards him with an irresistible force.

"This.." She became shocked as she was unable to break free from his bind, no matter how much strength she used.

In this way, she appeared infront of him in the blink of an eye. Next, Davion caught her by her waist and jumped into the crack.

***

"BOOM"

A ball of flames landed on the top of the mountain peak, caving it by a hundred meters.

"Ouch! It hurts." Davion cried out in pain.

"Humph! Serves you right." Siena scoffed as she broke free from his grasp easily.

"You are dirty. Why didn't you cover me with your armor?" He condemned her.

"Hehe, because I didn't want to." She chuckled and withdrew her fairy artifact.

"You…" He shook his head and sighed. Seeing her remain completely unscathed with her robes intact made him quite jealous. After all, he was in a sorry state at present. His robes had long since disappeared and many burnt patches could be seen on his skin.

"It looks like I have to recover." He sat cross-legged and went through the spirit rings that he had harvested from the battle.

"Why don't you put on your clothes first?" She yelled at him and turned back observing the scenery of the human world.

"Forget it!" Davion didn't bother about her and began gobbling up tons of healing pills from those rings.

Thus, his body recovered in an instant. But instead of getting up, he took out the saint crystal and put it into his mouth as well. If Siena noticed this, then she would definitely faint from disbelief. Is this even something a person could think of?

Didn't he know that it contained the power of a saint? Although the saint crystal was tiny and carried a minuscule amount of their power, it was not something a measly Domain Realm Expert could handle.

Despite knowing all this, Davion didn't hesitate to take it. He was confident of his golden finger and the Heavenly Body. Furthermore, he was already branded with a rune of fire law. So, what was there to worry about?

Nonetheless, the moment it went into his stomach, nothing happened. This was completely out of his expectations.

"Damn, my powerful physical body is not strong enough to disintegrate the saint crystal and absorb it." He cursed inwardly. It seems like there was no other choice than to use his spiritual energy to crush it. It was the first time he had been forced to apply such a method.

"BAM"

His faint golden-colored aura slammed the saint crystal heavily from all sides, creating sparks and a few small cracks to be seen on it. Nevertheless, it still didn't crumble.

"Is this the difference between a saint and me?" He was speechless. It seemed like he wouldn't be able to leave any scratch on the body of a saint with his current strength.

"Hiaz, it looks like I have to work much harder." He sighed and put all his attention back on the saint crystal.

"Domain"

Steadily the surrounding elementary particles gathered around him and Siena who was taking note of this place was immediately startled.

"What's happening?" She retracted her gaze back at once.

"How can it be?"

Right before her eyes, she witnessed a domain being formed of four different elements.

"Don't tell me he was still hiding his strength?" She was dumbfounded. Not only that, but she was starting to feel fearful of him. After all, it was not unusual to get scared of an unknown and mysterious person.

"Besides, why is he releasing his Domain?" She was puzzled. Her facial expressions behind her veil were changing every second because of him.

"Davion!" She called out, trying to find an answer.

However, there was no reply coming out from him. This made her worried.

"Is he breaking through? Or did he have a cultivation deviation?"

While she was pondering, his aura became more and more violent, making it impossible to stay so close to him. So, she hurriedly soared to the sky creating a considerable distance from him.

"Should I use my fairy artifact to go inside?" Even after thinking for a while, she couldn't come up with a decision. Who knew if she would mistakenly interrupt his breakthrough?

"What a trouble maker!" She scolded him and decided to wait for a while.

"Heavenly Body"

Davion became a giant in the blink of an eye and next, he started swallowing his Domain, like food.

"BAM"

The saint crystal experienced tremendous pressure due to this excessive energy of conflicting elements. But this was not the end as the pressure was continuously increasing by twofold, threefold, fourfold, and many more with time.

"Creak"

After a couple of minutes, it couldn't take it anymore and eventually broke into pieces. The moment it shattered pure white energy different from anything that Davion had ever experienced circulated into his body.

"Although it's lacking in quantity when compared to the spirit vein, the essence is exceptionally refined. It is far better than my own spiritual energy." He focused on his panel where his experience points were increasing at a rapid rate.

"Hehe, it looks like I will level up once again." He was full of smiles. But suddenly his face changed as he felt a powerful force pulling away his consciousness.

"This…" The scenery ahead of him changed and he found himself floating up in the sky. When he looked down, he saw his physical body surrounded by his domain, Siena standing in the air, and the beautiful topography of the lands.

However, the strange thing was that he couldn't see his own existence. Currently, he was neither corporeal nor soul. But instead, invisible. In this form, he was dragged straight into the heavens at the speed of light.

"Swish!"

He bypassed the clouds, reaching an astronomical distance above the ground. Abruptly, the force weakened and he finally stopped.

"What is this place?" It was dark everywhere and many thin vertical lines ranging who knows how long could be seen. These lines were of different colors and among them, a hot and bright red line felt familiar to him.

"Should I go there?" He thought and approached there steadily. Nonetheless, he discovered that he couldn't close in the distance. It was weird.

"Fuck! Did I mess up?" He panicked and even regretted devouring the saint crystal with no knowledge.

When his mind was in a mess, all of a sudden, he sensed something destructive, sharp, and heavy thing heading towards him.

He turned in that direction and spotted that it was a glowing white vertical line. Understanding the danger, he attempted to escape. But it was futile like earlier. He just couldn't create a distance.

Hence, in a few seconds, the light had already reached a hundred meters infront of him. Also, those dangerous feelings were getting more imminent.

"A sword?" Now only could he properly see what it exactly was. It was a translucent longsword consisting of various runes that looked similar to the tattoos or the law runes branded on his physical body. But the difference was that there were thousands of such runes everywhere on it including the hilt.

"Don't tell me I'm going to die after witnessing this mystery?" He was disappointed.

"Xiu!"

The light struck him and he felt extremely painful. In addition, he lost his vision as everything turned white.

"Puchi-"

Davion's physical body automatically spat out a mouthful of blood and was flung into a distant peak.

"BOOM"

The domain then vanished, allowing Siena to react at last.

"Don't tell me he really suffered from cultivation deviation?" She dashed and appeared right next to him.

"My God! What is this injury?" She saw a deep hole in his chest from where blood was spurting like a fountain. Looking closely inside, his heart could be seen.

"It has a hole as well. But why is it shining and radiating bizarre energy? It feels like a sword intent." As a sword cultivator, she recognized it at a glance.

"Now the question is how did he get hit by a sword? I was here the whole time." She couldn't believe it.

"Regardless, I should try to heal him first." White flames appeared on her hand and she gently pressed them on his chest.

Nevertheless, the problem was that her flames didn't work. The odd energy would always intervene and diffuse them.

"It looks like I can only give up. What a waste of such a powerful physical body." Next, she planned to drive out his soul. She was sure that his soul hadn't perished yet since he was still radiating weak energy.

But before she could do it, Davion's eyes unexpectedly opened and a white beam of light shot from them directly to the sky, clearing away the clouds.. Not only that but a tremendous sword intent was also unleashed from his body.
