Path of Absolute Transcendence

Sebastian appeared in the treasury, but he wasn't happy about killing Kai.

"So, your main target was the fragment?" Sebastian spoke while looking in a certain direction.

"Well, it seems I won't be able to hide from you." Kai appeared from behind a wall.

His body, which was pierced by Sebastian's attack, dissipated into particles.

Kai, at the critical moment, used his [Quantum Decoy] ability and escaped his death.

"So you already knew that I was watching you?" Sebastian suddenly asked this question.

"Yeah, it was just a guess I concluded based on your intelligence, and it seems I'm right," Kai replied calmly.

Kai was able to dodge the attack at the last moment because he anticipated that Sebastian would attack him.

"Then why did you come to steal the fragment even after knowing that? Do you think I'm currently in a bad condition?" Sebastian sneered and asked playfully.

Kai didn't reply to his question and kept silent. He made a mistake thinking that the King would be in seclusion, but that wasn't the problem since he already had a backup plan.

Kai knew he had to face the king at some point since he had already made a mistake during his first attempt. Given Sebastian's intelligence, he can easily track the traces left behind by Kai, so he wasn't surprised when he was found by him.

"No matter how much you scheme in front of absolute power, it is useless," Sebastian said, and he opened his domain.

He didn't talk nonsense with Kai and planned to kill him immediately.

"Do you think you can bully me using your strength?" Seeing Sebastian didn't give him any time for preparation, Kai cursed him.

Kai immediately formed a spear using his Will Manifestation. A deadly, dark aura appeared on the tip.

As soon as Sebastian sensed the energy at the tip of the spear, he instantly became frightened.

"How the fuc* are you capable of wielding such energy at your cultivation level?"

Sebastian was momentarily stunned after sensing the power of the attack, and Kai took the chance to throw the spear at him.

Sebastian wanted to dodge instinctively, but before he could do that, a formation appeared under his feet and trapped him.

He was caught off guard, and the spear directly pierced his heart. Kai used this chance to appear near Sebastian by using phantom steps and heart control ability and inserted his hands into his chest.

His hand is coated with Will Power, so it goes directly inside without any resistance. Kai took his core in his hand, and before leaving, he manipulated gravity and attracted both the fragment and the treasure.

He stored them in his storage ring and left the treasury immediately.

Everything that now happened in a matter of seconds that Sebastian wasn't able to process since he was caught off guard.

Kai used the energy stored in his bloodline on his first attack. Since he stored the darkness energy for a year, it became lethal enough to damage a Tier 4 level cultivator. Its natural corrosion attribute also helped him break Sebastian's defense.

Kai also knew his attack wasn't fast enough to reach him, so he drew a formation using his Will Power the moment he saw Sebastian.

Kai already had an epiphany on formation dao before he attempted to steal the fragment for the first time. He practiced the method of drawing formations using his Will Power alone for a long time.

Although Kai wasn't capable of drawing a formation in an instant, he could draw them in a matter of seconds. So he created a trap formation, a type of auxiliary formation, under Sebastian's feet and made him stand in one place.

Sebastian immediately recovered from his daze and found that both the fragment and the treasure were gone.

"Do you think you could escape from clutches?" Sebastian shouted in anger and flew outside the Treasury.

When he came outside the palace to search for Kai, he saw him flying in the sky.

"Hey king, do you think I have come unprepared? How about you join under my command, and we can work together?" Kai revealed his honest intention for the first time.

Kai had a very high opinion of Sebastian. He liked the idea of having an intelligent and ruthless subordinate under him.

"Are you kidding me? You almost ruined my entire plan and are now asking me to be your subordinate? You already became my enemy the moment you infiltrated the Treasury; either you live or I live."

Kai knew his plan to recruit him had failed, but he had already bought enough time for him to escape from this place.

Sebastian didn't waste any time and opened his domain again. Kai didn't interrupt him this time because he knew it would be impossible.

Soon, the entire capital was surrounded by a huge dome. The capital was bigger than a country if it were compared to its size on Earth, but he easily covered it.

Soon, the wind inside the domain became heavy, and the entire capital became similar to a desert. Sandstorms appeared from time to time, and huge mountains also formed.

Everything in the domain was locked onto Kai.

'So, this is the power of a real saint emperor realm cultivator?' Kai wondered in amazement.

He never felt the power of a domain personally; he saw the battle between the thunder ape and Whisper King far away from the impact zone, so he didn't feel the horror. But he realizes that now.

Kai felt that the entire world was rejecting his existence and trying to kill him. He also felt like he was carrying the burden of the entire world.

Kai wasn't even capable of moving inside the domain. Seeing the situation getting out of hand, Kai immediately decided to activate his backup plan.

He took an orb in his hands and crushed it without hesitation.

"How did you know about that?" Sebastian asked in horror after seeing Kai's action.

He already guessed what Kai was doing right now and tried to stop him, but it was too late.
