Void Cultivation-Chapter 265

Seeing that they had no time, the captain gritted her teeth and brought out the black spear she had thrown before. Malevolent black smoke rose from the spear and coiled around her body like living serpents.

Under the augmentation of the black spear, the captain appeared like a black goddess who had descended upon the world.

Her violet pupils were filled with dark intent as she clutched the spear tightly and flew upwards. Similarly, purple flames appeared around Grey’s body and began to burn fiercely.

But these flames did not harm him; instead, they provided even greater augmentation, boosting his speed and strength tremendously. Obviously, these purple flames were from the Life Demon Art.

During this time, Grey had managed to stabilize the cultivation art. It was no longer as shaky and unstable as before. Even so, he still couldn’t form the Life Demon phantom anytime soon.

But just the augmentation from the purple flames was more than enough.

With low grunts, the two of them charged upwards like crazed beasts. The captain’s aura was filled with endless malevolence and the aura of decay, while Grey looked like a holy young master with purple intent swirling around him.

Although he was not as flashy as the captain, the calm look in his eyes made his already captivating image even more dazzling.

He looked like a young lord clothed in purple, descending from the heavens.

After some time, the white altar began to release white sand that blew into the air, filling it with countless dense particles.

These particles of sand were extremely thick, making it hard to fly through them. They acted like an invisible barrier that pressed down on their bodies.

If they flew too forcefully, they would be heavily suppressed. And physical attacks did nothing to the white sand.

The captain only tightened her grip on the spear before throwing it with all her might.

The moment she did, the sound of endless wailing and the aura of death followed the spear. Wherever it passed, the white sand would be pierced through, and space would open for them to pass.

The captain’s eyes, although seemingly cold, were filled with mad intent.

Grey could faintly see ghosts appearing in her pupils. These ghosts bore the same expression as the captain. They were all mad and hungry for battle.

After rising above the five-thousand-foot mark, Grey and the captain were suddenly attacked by several bone creatures. The moment they struck, a fierce wind blew, bringing with it even more white sand.

Grey augmented his body with the purple flames and punched forward, while the captain gripped the void and brought out a small, finger-sized person.

The moment she brought it out, she crushed it in her palm.

The small person, who had originally been unconscious, opened its mouth and let out a heart-wrenching cry. But in the next moment, it was ruthlessly crushed by the captain, and its remains were casually thrown into her mouth.

After doing that, the captain felt her strength surge once more. A dark aura pulsed around her as the black spear she had thrown earlier was summoned back into her grasp. Without hesitation, she thrust it toward the nearest creature with ruthless precision.

It let out a muffled roar before collapsing, its skeletal structure falling apart as though its very existence had been erased.

At the same time, Grey was not to be outdone. The moment the first creature flashed and appeared before him, he immediately knew he couldn’t dodge its attack.

Neither could he counterattack nor block it in time. So he did the next most reasonable thing, he summoned his battle armor.

Purple sparks erupted from his body and wove themselves into an illusory suit of armor around him. The armor shimmered with a mysterious purple radiance, exuding an ancient and noble aura.

A faint purple cloak, seemingly woven from moonlight itself, appeared behind him. At the same time, a flickering purple moon manifested at his back, casting a cold glow over the battlefield.

The battle armor boosted his defenses to an astonishing degree. When the bone creatures crashed into him, they all shuddered violently and let out blood-curdling cries before falling to the ground, lifeless and shattered.

But Grey was not done.

The moment he summoned his battle armor, his eyes turned cold and focused as he attacked the nearest creature. His movements were swift and decisive, each strike carrying overwhelming force.

The time they had before the fog arrived was far too short. They could not afford to waste even a single moment, otherwise, this entire trip would have been in vain.

Ten breaths after Grey’s battle armor manifested, the illusory armor trembled violently before scattering and dissolving back into countless purple sparks that flowed into his body.

Grey’s face immediately turned pale.

Every time he used his battle armor, the duration he could maintain it was painfully short. And each time, it left him weakened and drained.

Although the battle armor greatly boosted his strength and defense, the cost it imposed on his body... was far too heavy. Hence, the paleness on Grey’s face was unavoidable.

Luckily, during the short time his battle armor had been active, he had managed to clear away the creatures attacking them from behind.

At the same time, the captain had eliminated the monsters blocking their path ahead. Together, they carved out an area free of bone creatures and temporarily devoid of white sand.

"Let’s go, little Grey," the captain spoke softly after a moment. Her breathing was slightly heavy, and several injuries could be seen on her body.

But overall, she was still in good condition. The raging madness in her eyes had not dissipated... not even in the slightest.

Inwardly, the captain had been deeply surprised when she saw the armor suddenly appear on Grey’s body. She instantly recognized it as battle armor.

However, despite her shock, she did not allow it to show on her face.

’Little Grey already possesses battle armor? How is that possible!? Only Spirit Core Formation experts and above can create battle armor.’

’I mustn’t let Grey become even more dazzling! I’m the older sister here, not him!’

The captain roared inwardly, and a wild, almost unhinged expression surfaced on her face.

The little ghosts in her eyes revealed ferocious intent. But it was not directed at Grey.

It was aimed at... the Headless Corpse seated upon the altar.

A moment later, she erupted with even greater speed, shooting higher toward the altar like a streak of black lightning.

Seeing the captain like this, Grey wondered if he should have revealed his battle armor so openly. Although it was incomplete and existed only in a more illusory form, it was still an astonishing sight.

After all, it was widely known that battle armor could only be wielded by Spirit Core Formation realm experts and above. And even among them, not all possessed such a rare ability.

That alone showed just how precious and uncommon battle armor truly was.

For a mere Foundation Establishment realm cultivator to reveal battle armor, no matter how incomplete, would likely shock the entire cultivation world.

’Well, I’m not the first person in the Foundation Establishment realm to possess battle armor. Moreover, the other party manifested his while still in the Qi Accumulation realm.’

Naturally, the person he was referring to was Ice Tide Caster Han Dawson.
