Vol 26 Chapter 42 (1/2)
Book 26, World Level, Chapter 42 – Predeparture Preparations
“Hurry up! Bring out all your best wine” Kilostar and Bertulu were seated facing to each other on an oceanic island, a stone table in front of them
On one side was the skinny and swarthy Kilostar, dressed in that silver cape of his On the other side was a white-robed, white-haired youth The two had completely different looks and auras as well Kilostar’s aura was rather valiant and explosive, whereas Bertulu’s aura was much waring comfort and friendliness to all who saw him
“That’s ourd of wine that had appeared on the stone table, lifted it up high, then began to guzzle it all down
“Alright, alright There’s no need for you to be this angry, Kilostar” Bertulu let out a laugh
“You insidious, sly, hypocritical wolf in cultivator’s clothing!” Kilostar glared ferociously at Bertulu Even his third eye within his forehead was bulging with rage “I have NEVER fallen down from the fifth stratum It was all because of you! You deceitful bastard, I lost because of your tricks! That was bullshi+t! Bullshi+t! BULLshi+T!”
Bertulu chortled “You lost, alright? Even if I did pull a few tricks, the end result was that you lost In battle, the only thing that matters is the result The process isn’t really important”
“I trusted you! That’s the only reason you were able to trick me!” Kilostar was furious
Actually, this wasn’t his first ti defeated by Bertulu In the past, he had won ten battles in a row and was qualified to charge Bertulu for residence within the sixth stratum However, Bertulu had swiftly dispatched hiht back down to the fifth stratum Over the course of many years, the twelve in the fifth stratum had tried numerous times to make it into the sixth stratum, but each time they were quickly knocked down by Bertulu once more The only person who could stably reside within the sixth stratum was Bertulu himself
“If I had used my formation and focused completely on defense, there’s no way you could’ve beaten rily
He was pissed off just thinking about it He had never been knocked out of the fifth stratu behind the legend of Kilostar once he departed from these Astral Islands To be honest, Kilostar had been planning on leaving for soolden record would be broken just before his departure? Now, he was back in the fourth stratum Of course he was irritated by this!
“I trusted you! I considered you runtled
“Enough, enough already It was aht How strong are the newbies?”
“The newbies have inificantly Six of them made it to the fifth stratum,” Kilostar said
That very first year after Ning’s arrival, four members of his ‘class’ had made it into the fifth stratum After a thousand years, two more had joined them
“As far as how strong they are…” Kilostar paused, weighing his words “In terms of attack power, the E Gorho, Daoist Fish, Fairy Brightheart, and Waterwalker are slightly weaker”
“Oh?” Bertulu was quite intrigued
“In terest freak of all He probably has some sort of special innate ability that htheart, with Darknorth being third The Empress, Gorho, and Daoist Fish are ranked below them”
Kilostar continued, “As for endurance, Darknorth is the strongest After hihtheart, Waterwalker, the Empress, then the rest”
Kilostar nodded “That would be hoould rank them They each have their own specialties” Kilostar so try them out yourself”
Bertulu was intrigued “Froh this Darknorth fellow is quite strong?”
“Him? He’s just as runtled manner, “At first, his sword-arts were fairly weak and I was able to crush him with just one warblade Over the course of the past thousand years, his footwork techniques and his sword-arts both i is, he not only has an Elementum Waterflame Gourd, he also has six damn Eternal weapons that are absolutely identical to each other”
Kilostar shook his head “You tell h I, Kilostar, have acquired multiple Eternal weapons as well, the only ones that suit me are those tarblades He actually has SIX of those Eternal swords, and they are absolutely identical!” Kilostar said furiously, “It’s like a six on two fight! And that Eleainst me as well…”
Bertulu was surprised “It sounds as though this Darknorth has quite a few treasures”
“He has a ridiculous aet six identical Eternal weapons, and that Elementum Waterflame Gourd has to be worth at least half a million cubes of chaos nectar as well All combined, that stuff has to be worth rumbled unhappily, “If all he had ords and if he didn’t have that lightning helping him, I’d still be able to crush him”
“Oh…” Bertulu nodded upon hearing this
“Have an idea of what you are going to do?” Kilostar looked at him
“A few ideas” Bertulu nodded “I wanted to first challenge all of the old tih the six newbies After that, I’ll be leaving”
“You are going to be leaving the Astral Islands?” Kilostar was briefly stunned, but he then nodded slightly
“It is ti for the past few years was because I wanted to wait for this newest batch of ‘recruits’ to have a chance to grow up,” Bertulu explained “The aloes out to personally abduct people roughly once every chaos cycle I certainly can’t afford to wait that long for the next crop”
“You bastard, you can break through to become a Daolord whenever you want” Kilostar shook his head and sighed “I, unfortunately, have only gained a vague glimpse of what my path is to be I haven’t truly understand it yet”
Only by truly discovering one’s own path and discovering one’s own Dao would one be able to rely on that Dao to become a Samsara Daolord
Bertulu had discovered his path and his Dao long ago He was able to becohtshore Kingdom was a very safe place and he was sih Once heback He naturally wanted towas perfect first
“You will benefit greatly froh the Astral Islands have ninety-nine legacies, only the top ten legacies can be considered decent Strictly speaking, none of these legacies can be considered ‘core’ legacies of the Twelve Palaces”
“Mm” Kilostar understood this point as well
Kilostar lost his battle His astral island sank from the fifth stratum to the fourth stratum
After that, Bertulu began an absolute ‘ed one fifth stratued experts were afraid of him Bertulu was a person who they norht All of the desire to do battle as they went forth to face Bertulu
