32 Battle (1/2)

There were only five Saint Master Demonic Beasts among the hundreds of False Saint Demonic Beasts. However, each level in the Saint Realm was a massive leap in strength.

Moreover, Jam had to defend Jared from being overwhelmed. Jam couldn't expect Jared to have the same energy reserves he possessed.

Not every cultivator possessed a Dantian Space with as much space as Jam's. And while the Black Hole Core was common in the Immortal and Divine Planes, Jam hadn't heard of it in the Mortal Plane; it was safe to assume that Jared would not possess one.

A pleasant surprise came to Jam when Jared showed spirit energy. After a Cultivator advanced to the Spirit Realm, they would possess spirit energy; Jam himself possessed spirit energy.

It turned out that Jam and Jared made a great duo. With Jam's protection, in the form of beams and stellar arrows, Jared could focus on his attacks; his specialty. Jam was not sure if Jared was showing his strongest attacks, but they were different than the ones he used in their sparring session.

Jared would cast chaos, space, and time energy attacks at the same level of Jam's variant two fusion beams. Even if Jared's attacks weren't at the level of Jam's demonic-space beam, they were still extremely powerful.

Aside from energy attacks, Jared's Dao of the Sword was rather advanced, relative to his cultivation base. Jared had already reached Dao Infusion with his Dao of the Sword. This level of Dao cultivation was above Dao Contact. Jared could use his Dao Infusion level Sword Dao to make short work of any Saint Demonic Beasts that came too close to him.

While Jam had Tier 3 Bow and Beam Essence, he had yet to reach Dao Infusion. Once he did, he would be like Jared; capable of adding Essence as a part of his energy attacks..

All this time Jam had not been using his Essences, as he would have to chose between attacking with his core skills or using his Essences. Given that his core skills were much stronger than attacks comprised of purely essence, Jam would obviously choose to use his core skills.

At the Dao Infusion level, this problem would vanish. Jam would be capable of adding Essence into his attacks without ruining the balance of the energies required for his skills to work.

Jam initially planned on ignoring the False Saint Demonic Beasts and focused on his biggest threats; the Saint Master Demonic Beasts. Even though Jam would have to divert a bit of his energy to deflect some attacks for Jared, he used the minimal amount needed.

Jam's fight against the five Saint Master Demonic Beasts was his most thrilling fight to date.

Jam, after ascending to the Spirit Realm, needed a worthwhile fight to measure his power, and this fight answered that call. Jam used all of the abilities, including the skills from Thunderfire Cataclysm and True Gravity Manipulation, that he had recently finished mastering.

Jam had already mastered 5 core skills from his Thunderfire Cataclysm and True Gravity Manipulation techniques and evolved them into their Spirit Realm levels. Thunderfire Cataclysm gave Jam two skills, while True Gravity Manipulation gave Jam 3 supporting abilities.

From the Thunderfire Cataclysm technique, Jam learned Firebolt and Thuderization.

[(Spirit Realm) Firebolt: Creates projectile out of fire energy that inflicts both blunt and fire damage. Increasing insights of the Dao of Fire's aspect of Essense increases the purity and size of the projectile. All Elemental Dao's have the aspect of Essence, as insights into this aspect increase cultivators can gain access to elements with greater quality — 3%| Evolvable (Restricted by Realm)]

[(Spirit Realm) Thunderization: Coats anything that comes into contact with the user in thunder energy. All things under the effect of Thuderization gain the properties of thunder i.e. increased speed, strength, etc. Increasing insights of the Dao of Thunder's aspect of Essence and Aura increases the gains of coming into contact with thunder energy. All Elemental Daos have the aspect of Aura, as insights into this aspect increase, cultivators can get more out of properties of the elements— 15%| Evolvable (Restricted by Realm)].

Thunderization did the same thing as the thunder body Jam gained from Divinity. It covered Jam in thunder energy and significantly boosted his speed, as well as his strength, albeit to a lesser extent.

Firebolt and Thunderization were the core techniques of the Thunderfire Cataclysm. These technique gave Jam access to the two aspects of a Dao that were universal to Elemental Daos. Aura and Essense were aspects of the Dao found in all Elemental Daos as well as some Phenomenal Daos, like the Dao of Thunder or Ice.
