143 Chapter 138 : Third stage! (1/2)
Few minutes later.
Whoosh!
As if a major change occurred within his body, marks skin started hardening for a second, turning faint red with tightened muscles.
His hair started dancing wildly, at the same time reached a couple meters in length to wreak havoc. Lashing out the to surroundings like a deadly whip, which obtained its own consciousness.
And at the end a flash of golden light emitting out his body, and his body changes were reversed I.e, the old slender body of kid was brought back.
” Ding! Host levels up! ”
” Ding! Host enters the third refinement stage!”
As soon as his refinement points crossed the limit of second stage, Aina rang out a couple messages which caused a delightful expression on mark's face.
Mark slowly opened his eyes, examining his internals only to feel himself getting strengthened, more destructive than earlier.
” Finally! This mark surmounted two refinement stages in a day!
But still I am far cry behind those mighty emperor class cultivator in terms of strength!
Right now Mark's third refinement had brought a qualitative leap in his body strength, pushing his limits to peak stage of an aura king.
Coupled with way of strength and asura cry, a typical half step emperors could no longer rival him, at best would be reduced to refinement points for his growth.
But still the gap between a true emperor class cultivator and a half step was large, which could not be neglected.
Mark quickly had a need to enter the fourth stage in refinement, if he were to challenge such powerful existences.
Comming back to present, both Cela and Wendy had complex feelings regarding mark.
They were staring at him as if he was an weird abnormal to begin with.
Earlier, they noticed mark getting stronger, at the same time felt threatened as if they'll loose their life in this wreaked mansion.
Since the time mark came to the western warlords palace, Cela had been observing him.
At first glance, she could determine Mark to be special, holding some mysterious powers that made him far stronger than ordinary.
Right at the time when abyss demon was slayed, she became a bit doubtful at the beginning, but was startled after examining marks body.
She was able to examine a qualitative leap in one's strength, which confused and increased the part of curiosity in Mark.
Right now, when the undead queen and her minions were slayed.
She cela was able to witness yet an another rise, that no longer were within her logical reasoning.
She had heard of cases, where demonic practitioners were able to rise their strength through unorthodox means.
Cases like sacrifices, presented to their demonic god were documented, but the actual method of those practices were lost to the current world.
Though the power leap in such cases were negligible, in long run it made the practitioners capable of harnessing strength that made them reach the sumit.
There was saying that ”Great strength comes with great risks”, so was the case for demonic practitioners.
The side effect of such practices were fatal, and almost all such practitioners end up losing their sanity, by demonic possession.
Turning their bodies to mindless killing machines, that do rest until their bodies fall apart.
” But still... he doesn't seems to be practicing those scum means! ”
Cela pondered deeply only to get more vexed about it.
Earlier, they had almost discerned mark to be a demonic practitioner. Increasing his cultivation through killing!
But they quickly ruled out that conjecture. One reason being his releases aura.
Extreme golden aura! Which was a sign of pureness. Complete opposite to blood red varieties which a demonic cultivators possess.
The other reason being the cultivation stability.
Demonic path is similar to waking on a narrow cliff end, bling folded, risking life with each moves the practitioner makes.
The hard earned power in decades could go disappear overnight, had their energies been snapped out their bodies, being unstable.
But still these practices were extremely popular in ancient times, where the commeres would grab the chance to change their destined fates.
But for cela, through all examinations of her on mark, she wasn't able to find traces of those chaotic energies, that might cause unstability.
Instead of pondering deep in this topic, she better preferred to ask it directly from Mark himself.
After a complete silence of one minute, cela broke the silence, questioning.
” By any chance... Are you an unorthodox demonic practitioner? ”
” What? Demonic practitioner! ”
Mark muttered out in surprise.
” Or else... you are an ancient devil spawn! ”
Following Cela, Wendy started questioning her inner thoughts.
” Yes! He might be an ancient devil! ”
Cela exclaimed out with a frightened face.
” Fuck! In a second, you both made me a devil out of your curiosity!
Can't blame them for being ignorant, since the existence of system is not known to all! ”

Mark reasoned out, chuckling a little exclaiming.
” Out of no where, why are you making this mark a devil? ”
” Didn't you just increased your powers through killing? ”
They both asked in unison.
” Yes, but that alone doesn't just make me a devil! ”
Mark laughed out questioning back.
” Then what techniques are you using? ”
They were asking him continuously, and had no signs of stopping until they get their required answers.
Devils were a special race that could increase their cultivation through killing, without bottle necks nor receiving blackslashs!
But such races were considered myths, without any confirmatory proof to prove their existence.
And even if they were to be present, such races would not be tolerated by others, and be long since exterminated.
Cultivation through killing! It's all been what mark was practicing till today.
