Path of Absolute Transcendence

As soon as Kai broke the orb in his hand, it disintegrated into blood and fell.

The blood fell into the formation line and activated the formation. Soon, the entire capital glowed; it looked like a firefly in the night sky.

Soon, the formation lines activated, and everyone in the capital felt a force binding them.

Suddenly something weird happened: a lot of sand spirits started disintegrating. The speed hadn't decreased; instead, it increased at an alarming rate.

Every single Tier 1 sand spirit totally disappeared and turned into small white balls. But that doesn't stop; soon, Tier 2 and Tier 3 sand spirits are also affected.

Within a matter of moments, they also turned into small white balls without any resistance.

Tier 4 beings like Lord Stone and Lord Clay tried to resist that weird force, but it became a helpless struggle, and soon they faced the same fate as previous sand spirits.

Everything that happened now hasn't even sparked a single scream. It all happened like art or a festival. If any cultivator or beast were looking from a distance, they would think like that.

Soon, all the white balls floated from their respective places and gathered near the formation eye. It merged into a single, huge ball and fused with the formation eye.

As soon as it happened, Sebastian felt his power leaving him. His mighty peak Tier 4 cultivation began to decrease; it only stopped after his cultivation reached peak Tier 3.

"How did you know about my bloodline source?" Sebastian asked in disbelief.

Kai didn't answer his question and kept silent. He used his astral body to change the function of the formation to achieve the result.

Kai knew the trigger for the formation was Sebastian's bloodline source, so he acquired them in his first confrontation by catching him off guard.

With the bloodline source in his hand, Kai activated the formation and sacrificed the entire sand kingdom like Sebastian planned.

But instead of using it to nurture the treasure, Kai added another formation and strengthened it using the sacrificial energy.

He added a sealing formation near the formation core and sealed his cultivation. Kai achieved everything using his astral body.

"If you guessed my real target was a fragment instead of the treasure, you could have easily seen through my plan." Kai finally said this after he saw Sebastian's disheartened look.

Sebastian looked at Kai for a moment and fell silent. He realized everything in that single sentence.

If he had thought Kai came here for the fragment, he should have been able to guess that the other fragment must be with him. He can also guess about the fragment's abilities.

But he entirely overlooked the existence of other fragments, which led to his current predicament.

*HA HA HA HA HA*

Sebastian laughed like a madman and slapped himself in the head.

"Just because I overlooked a single fragment, everything I planned for more than ten thousand years came to an end." He said that while continuing his laughter.

Sebastian knew that his chances of winning the fight were almost impossible the moment Kai activated the formation.

The new formation that Kai had drawn not only his cultivation level but also his physical strength, soul strength, and other abilities.

His domain, which looked like a prison, crumbled on its own.

"Hey king, how about you consider my previous offer? Just make an oath that you won't betray, and I will never restrict your freedom; you can do whatever you feel." Kai again offered him, but this time he added an oath for security.

"Hey, don't call me king from now on since the entire sand tribe disappeared, just call me Sebastian. Do you think that I would become your slave after you did all this to me?" Sebastian replied calmly, but his voice contained an endless chill.

Sebastian worked hard for more than ten thousand years to achieve his dream. He sacrificed all his time to research the formation and find a way to break his cultivation limit.

During this period, he ignored his family and refused to spend time with them. They left him for his behavior, but without any of that minding him, he continued his plan.

After finding the existence of fragments and treasure, he finally saw hope. With his research and achievement in the formation Dao, he finally created a sacrificial formation.

The price for achieving strength made him think twice, but he again made a tough decision, which was the sacrifice of his entire tribe.

To successfully achieve that, he worked harder than ever. He captured the hearts of his people and became their king.

After successfully becoming the king, he began his master plan, which was to make the treasure Tier 6 and reach the same realm.

Although he knew becoming a Tier 6 or emperor wouldn't be that simple, he did that for a small possibility, hoping to break his talent limitations.

While manipulating everyone, he eventually lost his worldly emotions and became a person who only cared about personal benefits.

Everything was going smoothly until the arrival of Kai. He suddenly came like a storm without warning anyone, ruined his entire plan, and even sacrificed his tribe to achieve his personal goal.

Sebastian didn't think anything was wrong with Kai's action since he would have done the same thing. Instead, he only blamed himself for being careless.

If he had tried to kill Kai the moment he sensed him without listening to his intuition, things may have been different.

"So, everything that I did came to an end."

"Are you kidding me? Then why did I have to go through all of this shi*?"

"Why is heaven unfair to me? Why did I have to be born in this undeveloped tribe?"

"Why can't I be born with a good talent?"

Sebastian screamed in agony; even a small teardrop formed in his eyes.

Kai didn't mock or say any encouraging words to him. He never experienced the same despair as Sebastian, and he wasn't born in a place that was abandoned by the heavens.
