Chapter 364: Battling Old One (2/2)

”When did you breakthrough?” Sai asked in surprise.

”It has been a while.” The old one answered without any expression.

”Why are you doing all this? With your cultivation you are the strongest man on the planet, why bother going through all this? Can't you just stay on the top unbothered with all these things?”

Sai asked with a faint trace of irritation.

But Old one only smiled and said.

”What do you know about my plight? I might be the strongest on the planet, but this is as far as I can reach. No one might be my opponent with my cultivation, but that is the word a decade ago.

Because I was being worn down by the greatest opponent I couldn't possibly win and that is time. How old do you think I am? I am from the same generation as your grandfather, you weren't even born when I was a nascent stage cultivator, trying to get a position within the headquarters of the association.

Even the Ancestor of the Beast faction has to address me as Big brother when I see him.

But what is all of it worth if I cannot stay alive?

I lived for centuries but this is not enough, I want to live more, but that is not possible staying within this planet. This is the limit, there is a constraint of energy and resources that stop me from advancing.

I wanted to wait and find away, but I am reaching the end of my lifespan. All the injuries I accumulated from the battle and all the perilous situations my soul has endured, it cannot take it anymore.

I am on verge of dying, even with my cultivation level being superior, I am getting weaker. I am not even confident that I can fight the three of unless I go all out.

That is why I wanted to take this step.

The Undead Plague, I found this pill formula from some ancient remains when I was searching for escaping from my plight. I didn't want to use this at first, but a few years ago, I couldn't see any other way. I either have to travel to the higher realms or find a resource that is big enough to give me enough vitality to live long enough time to find a way to go to higher realms.

That is why I started this undead plague.

The main aim of this pill is to increase self-cultivation while creating an undead army.

But from the looks of it, my plan is also on verge of failing.”

The old one went on and on as he felt lost in his own thoughts, he seemed to have been holding this up for quite a while.

Sai and the other two late-stage cultivators stood in front of him as they started raising their auras.

”Enough talk, let us just start.” Old one spoke and the dark orange flames started flying all over.

The three on one battle was extremely intense as they fought to their tooth and nail.

The three of them are Level-7 and two of them are Sai and Sravan.

As they are fighting, Sravan suddenly remembered something and felt like they missed some people.

He looked around and didn't find the ones he is looking for.

It is none other than the people that ambushed him and his transcendent team.

”Sai, three middle-stage Consummate realm cultivators are missing.”

He yelled in the middle of the battle.

A large streak of fire hit him in the back and threw him into the air and Old one's voice came from behind.

”Where did you even get the time to worry about others? But it is the right thing to do.”

As he spoke the three middle-stage cultivators came out of nowhere and made a triangle formation around the four of them.

”They are actually my support and now it seems like a fair fight.”

Sai started panting hard as he looked at the three of them who surrounded them.

”I didn't want to use this, but you leave me no choice.”

With that, he waved his hand and a Wyvern appeared out of nowhere. It is almost the same size as that of Sravan's. But Sravan's is an Ice-type while Sai's is a fire type.

Not only that, Sai closed his eyes and his energy levels started raising.

He removed the limiter.
