While Eris and Agnes were taking care of the toughest enemies in the group, Aster and the others each targeted their respective opponents.


    Eris and Agnes surprise attacks weren''t only to try and weaken the Law Integration spirit beasts, but also to create an opening since their sh was quite eye catching.


    "If you need a hand, contact either me or the Runic Oak", said Aster as he pointed at a yellow wood bracelet that he now had on his wrist.


    The Runic Oak could create smaller copies of itself, so Aster asked it to make these bracelets as a way tomunicate with it, since it has the whole forest as his workforce, then he can provide cover or support in case anyone needs it.


    That is also why Aster tasked it with dealing with the army of spirit beasts, since it can use all the crystal trees as its forces.


    "Mm", the girls nodded and then dispersed, with the exception of Alexandra who didn''t wait to hear Aster and directly flew towards the elder of the Steel Tower sect, her expression was fierce to the extreme as if she couldn''t wait to rip the guy to pieces.


    Aster chuckled, Tomas''s daughter was quite something, for someone who specialized in defense she was rather fierce, on the other hand the way she somehow blew half of the body of a Void Maniption spirit beast after enduring some attacks was indeed interesting, it was probably the ability of her body constitution.


    Aster shook his head and then focused on his own enemy, the male elder of the Pleasure Pce had already started to fight Aria and the others, so he was taken away to prevent the two elders to cooperate, dual cultivators work better in pairs after all.


    The woman saw the handsome young man approaching her with a calm expression and her eyes glowed, she licked her lips and then flew to his encounter.


    "Little friend, you belong to the Myriad upation sect right, it seems there is a misunderstanding between your group and mine, though the Pleasure Pce has some rivalry with your sect, it''s not to the point where we kill each other on the spot, so why don''t you join hands with us, we can kill those beasts and share their cores what do you day", she said with a seductive voice, she hugged her own body making her breasts stood out.


    Aster felt a slightly sweet smell lingering in the air as the woman spoke, it became stronger at the end of her sentence, all the woman''s gestures were made with the purpose of tempting him, her body was covered in yin energy to look more appealing to the eye even, but for Aster she… was disgusting.


    He directly took out one of his golden swords which made the woman click her tongue, the hands which were previously hugging herself, came out of her pockets to reveal she had ck daggers on each of them.


    "Damn soul cultivator", she said, her face, attitude and voice took a 180° change, from lovely and soft to cold and merciless.


    Aster smirked as he pointed his sword at the woman.


    "I didn''t need to use soul energy to resist thatme "charm" of yours, the pestilence of your body is enough to prevent me from falling for your tricks", he said.


    Let alone the fact that Aster''s will is too strong to be charmed by anyone besides Aria and Lilia, who are Star maidens meaning they are whitelisted from his defenses, for Aster whose nose is incredibly sharp when ites to women thanks to the lewdness of his dragon lineage, the woman smelled like rotten fish.


    It''s not a matter of hygiene, but because she has forcefully stolen yang to a lot of people using evil methods, while on the surface it doesn''t show, as her aura would suggest, the "scent" of her yin energy can be detected by Aster.


    Yin and yang are energies that carry emotions, this ability of his is in part why Aster trusts in his capacities to know whether a woman has ill intentions towards him, maybe because he is a guy but it only works with women.


    In other words, there is a chance he can be tricked by men, but not by women, at least until now he has never made a bad judgement about any of the girls he has met.


    "What did you say you little bastard!", naturally the woman exploded the moment Aster insulted her, if she wanted to a line of people trying to get into her bed will form at the entrance of her mansion in the Pleasure Pce, since her yin is stronger than average, hell she has even cultivated with the Patriarch a couple of times in the past.


    "I wanted to keep you as a pet since you have a pretty face, but since you don''t know how to appreciate beauty, then go to hell!".


    The woman poisonously red at Aster, she extended her hand towards him and a dark blue ray was shot from her hand, unfortunately the scene of the bastard that insulted her, melting into a puddle of pus, didn''t happen.


    Aster''s body lit up in bright yellow light and he casually used his sword to deflect the attack, which was nothing but a mix of yin and wind spirit energy, making it slightly simr to the way the Death Wind Falcon fought.


    "Hypocrite, you are a dual cultivator too", slowly spat the woman as she saw the strong yang radiance that Aster used to defend against her yin melting wind palm.


    Aster didn''t answer, it was futile to talk with his enemy, his body exploded in yellow light as he charged toward her.


    This time the woman felt a life-threatening dangering her way and she immediately used her yin radiance.


    "Booom!", dark blue light shed against bright yellow light, and against all predictions the yin radiance was suffocated by the yang radiance.


    "Aghhh!", the woman came out of the sh with a few burns on her face and a couple of fingers less, she underestimated Aster and his sword took some fingers out of her hand.


    "My face, how dare you!!!", the woman saw his reflect on the daggers and after seeing that there were patches of burned skin on her face, her anger went through the roof, the nearby air trembled as she summoned her Genesis Core to protect her.


    A dark blue sphere with ck wind surrounding it blocked Aster from attacking the woman, it had around three hundred meters of diameter and there was yin being radiated by it.


    "Three hundred meters, Ster grade cultivation technique and one hundred and fity meters extra due to all the yang she has stolen, what a shame its purity is crappared to my ice princess''s yin", concluded Aster.


    Cultivation manuals give a better starting point depending on their grade, in the case of Genesis Manifestation, each division equals a maximum of fifty meters, in other words someone with an Immortal grade manual will automatically get a two-hundred-meter Genesis Core, after that it depended on the cultivator to increase its size.


    The size of a Genesis Core doesn''t increase by breaking through, but by learning about one''s attribute and increasing the amount of it that can be wielded by the cultivator, in this case the woman seemed to have a Ster grade manual and she doubled the size of her core after stealing so much yang from men.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    ording to the Runic Oak she was stronger than the male elder, probably because she has drained some of his yang as well.


    …


    At the other side of the battlefield, Aria, Tiana and Nerissa were facing the male elder whose eyes were filled with raw lust as he red at them.


    "To think someone will be as considerate as to sent some beauties to warm my bed, you see that woman is quite fierce so I end up pretty beat after a night, but with your yin I''ll be able to dominate for a change hehehe", the elder was practically drooling.


    Leaving aside the fact that they were beauties, the yin radiated by Aria and Nerissa was quite strong, maybe because their attributes are rted to water, which is as close to yin as darkness, as for Tiana her spirit energy seemed to be of yang orientation, but that''s probably because her vitality is high due to her body cultivation.


    Aria softly snorted, she exchanged gazes with the others and they all reached a mutual understanding, but as they were about to start their cooperative attack, everyone''s attention was drawn towards Aster''s battlefield.


    In fact, all the fights stopped for a second, why, because a third eye catching energy figure appeared in the area, in this case it was a pir of golden light of around five hundred meters wide and two kilometers of height.


    "That is…", Tiana little mouth widened a bit, gusts of wind created by the explosion hit them and they were a dozen of kilometers far from it, she could recognize the energy firm on that light pir, it belonged to Aster.


    "Sky Rendering, Aster probably wanted to finish his fight early", said Aria, they all know that is Aster''s best technique, one whichbines basically all his spirit energy and sword intent in a single attack.


    The male elder''s pupils contracted like needles, he could see aparatively small ck sphere inside that huge pir of light, and of course he recognized it.


    ''T-That is Mara''s ck Tornado Genesis Core, what the hell is that attack, the core is going to crack!'', he thought.


    The male elder didn''t doubt, he summoned his core, which was of a dull yellow color, with some mes burning inside of it, but as he proposed to go and help his lover, he was blocked by a wall of water which then froze to turn into a wall of ice.


    The male elder gritted his teeth, he turned around just to see the three girls he was fighting all riding on top of a huge wave of water.


    "Out of my way!", he shouted, it''s not as if he loved the vicious female elder, but she was one of the favorites of the patriarch, technically he shouldn''t have sex with her, but he paid with ten percent of his total yang in exchange for a night of pleasure each time, and he was able to enjoy the same woman as the patriarch, he just had to drain some women after to recover, so he didn''t lose anything but a couple of months of cultivation, nothing too serious.


    Naturally everything was kept secret from the patriarch, the problem is that he is in charge of her safety, if something happens to her, the patriarch will probably cut his balls, so with his balls on the line, he naturally stopped caring about the three pretty girls that were fighting him.


    Of course, if he were to know Aria''s true value, he wouldn''t think like that, but she naturally won''t show her charms to anyone but Aster.


    …


    Those two battlefields weren''t the only ones which turned serious after seeing that pir of light, which even now still kept illuminating the sky, Felicia and Cam who were working side to side and killing the human army, felt the huge disturbance in the atmosphere caused by Aster''s attack and they gazed at each other before they both smiled.


    "Golden Rain".


    "ck Vortex".


    "Aghhhh no, help!".


    From the sky, countless of golden spears started falling, piercing the bodies of the weaker cultivators pretty easily, for those who tried to escape from the area of Cam''s attack, they were dragged towards a ck hole that appeared on the ground, their bodies were engulfed by the darkness and not too long after the sound of bones being crushed and blood curling screams could be hearding from the ck vortex.


    The group of Sea of Knowledge cultivators that were fighting those two head one, saw their groups be massacred by Cam and Felicia''s attacks and their eyes got bloodshot, the idea of running away appeared in their minds.


    Unfortunately, they were inside a closed space, since the beasts divided the two nodes between themselves, so to leave or enter this ce they needed the permission of the snake or the falcon, but they were busy right now.


    The other option were their seconds inmand, but the area where the beast''s army was fighting with the Runic Oak was even more savage, crystal trees were burning or exploding continuously while the Void Maniption spirit beasts tried to attack the Oak, but were sent flying with injuries whenever they approached it.


    So, with no other choice but to fight or die, the group of around one hundred Sea of Knowledge all summoned their Seas of Knowledge.


    The nearby sky illuminated in different colors, as the different attribute seas appeared around their respective cultivators.


    But Cam and Felicia''s response wasn''t what they expected, they just gazed at each other.


    "The one who kills the most gets to go first in the next round of dates~", said Felicia.


    "I just don''t want to lose… the date is a secondary goal", mumbled Cam, her face was bright red remembering the moment she kissed Aster''s cheek back then, which made Felicia giggle.


    "You don''t look convincing with that little girl in love expression on your face you know".
