Path of Absolute Transcendence

Sebastian was the first sand spirit to exist, which means he had to learn everything by himself. He explored the cultivation path by himself and made a breakthrough; further, he explored the formation path.

He learned everything by himself, without the help of anyone. He doesn't have any materials for reference other than the Tier 5 treasure, and that was out of his grade, but with persistence, he perfected his cultivation path.

It was the reason Kai wanted to recruit Sebastian badly, but that wasn't possible considering the circumstances.

"It's time to end this, Sebastian," Kai said and formed a sword using will manifestation.

Kai would never underestimate Sebastian, even though most of his powers were sealed.

The formation, powered by the energy of the entire tribe, ensured that it wouldn't break and seal everything about him; it didn't seal his comprehension of laws and experience.

Given that Sebastian has lived for more than ten thousand years, he must have rich combat experience.

Sebastian took a deep breath and composed himself. He knew getting emotionally right might lead to his demise.

'I can still break through to Tier 5 if I kill this brat, and for the next realm, I should be sorry about that.'

After calming his emotions, he decided to think about everything rationally.

"So, you came back to your senses. I thought I could easily win the fight, but it seems that won't happen anymore."

Kai arrived behind Sebastian using phantom steps like he did before, but this time Sebastian easily anticipated Kai's move and evaded the attack with minimal movement.

He coated his hands with Abyssal Qi and punched Kai in the abdomen.

*BOOMMM*

Kai fell from the air and was crushed into a house. The house broke into debris, and a lot of dust arose. Sebastian didn't give Kai any chance to recover; he teleported before him and kicked him in the stomach.

Kai, sensing the incoming attack, rolled his body to evade, but Sebastian suddenly appeared before him and punched him.

'What the fuc* with his physical strength? He can generate this much force even with most of his strength sealed.' Kai muttered while evading the incoming attacks.

The reason Sebastian was able to generate such strength even with most of his physical strength sealed was because of his control over his physical body.

He created his technique for control and achieved nerve control, which was the fourth stage of the control level. His Qi is also Abyssal Qi, which was corrupted by the Abyssal Dragon and is also superior to normal Qi.

So Kai never stood a chance against Sebastian in a physical fight; he didn't even achieve the first stage of control, and he doesn't have any Qi in his body to further empower his physical strength.

'Now, it's time for a change of tactics.'

Kai didn't evade any attacks and stood still in his place. He spread his Will and soul perception around him to feel the changes in space.

As soon as Sebastian appeared, Kai denotated the fire elements around him.

*BOOM*

A huge explosion took place, and even the gap where Sebastian appeared became unstable.

Sebastian wasn't able to dodge the incoming attack since it directly exploded in front of his face.

Kai didn't let the chance slip away; he slashed his sword at him. The slash coated with destruction intent arrived before him, but it didn't attack Sebastian as Kai expected; Sebastian escaped by teleporting to another location.

'Damn, why did he comprehend space dao?' Kai cursed.

Sand spirits have a natural affinity for fire and earth elements, but Sebastian didn't take that seriously and comprehended space dao, one of the hardest to master.

This time Sebastian didn't attack Kai, since he knew Kai must have some technique to sense his teleportation point.

He took a sword from his storage ring and directly split the space.

Kai felt immense danger, so he swiftly left the place. Sebastian's attack directly severed the space into two for more than two hundred meters, utterly destroying everything on its path.

'So he has such power despite being Tier 3, goodness, I didn't face him at Tier 4.'

Kai's first thought was to create an empowerment formation to temporarily elevate his cultivation level to the saint realm. He knew his weak body wouldn't be able to handle the power, so he disregarded the plan.

But now he must thank himself for not doing that; with his half-baked saint cultivation, he could never win against Sebastian, not even in dreams.

Sebastian didn't give Kai any chance to recover; he continued to attack fiercely. Kai could only passively evade every attack.

But the situation didn't last like that for long, a huge formation appeared before Sebastian and trapped him.

A lot of swords formed above his head and attacked him. Each sword has the power to destroy a Tier 3 cultivator effortlessly.

Sebastian didn't evade any of the attacks, instead, he attacked the formation. Soon, the formation broke into pieces, and all the attacks dissipated.

Sebastian easily found the formation eye and attacked it using his space dao. With his experience in the formation Dao, it was easy to see through.

"You may be a genius in formation dao, but you don't have enough experience in that. This half-baked formation won't change anything, even if it is used a hundred times." Sebastian mocked Kai, hoping to infuriate him.

"Yes, I knew that. My formation won't work on an old monster like you, but that was never my purpose in the first place."

As soon as Kai said that, another formation appeared and surrounded Sebastian. This was not a killing formation like the previous one; instead, it was a trap formation.

It blocked Sebastian's vision and cut off his senses, but soon he found the formation eye and broke it like the previous one.

"See, I told you this would happen; if you took your time to create a formation, it may have some effect, but these half baked ones won't affect me." Sebastian provoked him again.

[Absolute]

Kai didn't reply to his provocation; he used his strongest attack, using all of his energy.

The sword energy ignored the concept of space-time and directly appeared before Sebastian.

Sebastian sensed the danger and tried to dodge it, but he knew it was impossible to dodge, so he slightly evaded the attack.

The sword's energy directly severed his hand, and it didn't stop with that. It destroyed and made a deep pit for more than a mile.

'Tch, his battle IQ and intuition are above mind. It will be hard to continue like this for a long time.'

Kai used his Darkness Absorption ability to absorb the elements of darkness in his surroundings. After the elements appeared in his bloodline, he coated them in swords and attacked him.

Sebastian's speed slowed a little because he was momentarily distracted after losing his hand. He didn't notice the incoming sword aura and dodged it at the last moment.

But the attack scratched him again in the same hand; the sword aura didn't do any damage to his hand; instead, the darkness energy corroded him.

It began to ravage his hand, and most of his muscles and tissues fell down wherever the darkness element went. Sebastian used his sword to directly cut off the affected part without any hesitation.

He knew removing the energy would take some time, but he didn't have that luxury for now since Kai's other attack had already come towards him.

This time Sebastian didn't dodge or evade the attack; instead, he folded the space before him and redirected the attack towards Kai.

'What the fu**!'

Kai was surprised by the sudden situation, but he dodged it promptly.

'I don't believe that you could do that technique all the time.'

Kai absorbed more darkness from the surroundings and attacked him. He didn't use his full strength in every attack; instead, he only used a limited amount of it to exhaust Sebastian.

But the situation didn't happen as he expected. Sebastian redirected every attack towards him, and his hands also recovered a little during this time.

'So what the fuc* is happening?' Kai thought in confusion.

He used his Will Power to check the exact situation and soon found the answer.

"I thought I sealed everything, including your talent, but how are you able to use it?"

Kai asked Sebastian directly since he saw Sebastian directly absorbing energy from the earth and somehow converting it into his own use.

"Do you think I would tell you that, and do you believe that you sealed everything in me?" Sebastian didn't reply, and he played with him.

Kai didn't fall for his trap and began deducing the possible reasons for this phenomenon. He began to use his parallel thinking ability to brainstorm for answers.

"So you used your racial ability and control over earth elemental law to achieve this? Truly a brilliant technique."

Kai soon concluded and praised him.

But his praise wasn't for compliments; instead, he mocked him. Sebastian didn't reply and kept silent.

Kai changed his fighting tactic all of a sudden; he knew this would be pointless since it wouldn't exhaust him.

He used his heart control ability to increase his speed and strength. Kai directly charged towards Sebastian.

But that wasn't the only thing that Kai did; he changed the entire environment. With his Will Power, he froze everything near Sebastian.

During their previous exchange, Kai recovered most of his Will Power. By resonating with the surroundings, he froze all the water elements near Sebastian.

Kai knew he would be at a disadvantage in a physical fight, so he changed the situation in his favor by reducing Sebastian's speed and strength.
