  BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

  As Orion was engulfed in explosions, the remaining es fighting him rejoiced. As the boy fell from the skies, they realized that, although the explosions were immensely strong...

  The damage he sustained wasn’t as severe.

  “Ugh, you cheaters!” he said angrily. “You keep using all kinds of tricky abilities! I’m going to beat you up!”

  The boy rushed back towards them, even as he bled. Each drop of his blood fuels his aura, turning stronger and stronger and stronger!

  “{Divine White Wolf Heavenly Fangs}!”

  With a furious roar, his Aura exploded, transf into a massive red and white wolf with dozens of heads, opening their jaws, and biting down anything in front of him.

  CRASH! CRASH! CRASH!

  The shields and attacks from the es were useless, instantly tearing them down to pieces oer another as they quickly exploded into crystalized fragments.

  “Impossible…! He killed two already?!”

  The remaining e, only one, was shocked beyond belief at what it had seen, his powers surging; however, the more es died, the more power the single remaining e gained as it didn’t have to share it between them.

  “His wounds are also still bleeding, but they don’t look too bad beyond surface-level…! Although his skin is not tough, his muscles and bones are not easy to pierce through! What a monster of a son you have, Bing Xue!”

  Maybe in another life, he would have taken the boy as one of his few disciples, turning him into a living camity that he could trol, an adoptive son with immeential that would always obey him.

  Unfortunately, that wasn’t the case now; the boy was ing for his life!

  “RAAARRGGH!”

  With a furious feral roar, Orion opened his jaws, firi another devastatiowards Fang Gu Lan’s e.

  BOOOM!

  The beam should have destroyed the st e, but ihe e had gathered the dozens of crystalized fragments the other es left behind, rapidly fusing them into an armor for its prote.

  “Haaah…! That was close.” He smiled viciously. “The more es die, the strohe remaining ones bee, you know? I suppose that’s not something your little child's brain could realize.

  “Huh?!” Orion was surprised his foe had sustained almost no damage. “So that’s why…!”

  “Yes, that’s why the es felt strohe lohe fight went!” Laughed Fang Gu Lan. “The best strategy is to kill them all in a siack, something your mother had figured out long ago; to think you took this long, it’s already too te!”

  The teique that Fang Gu Laed was more plex than Orion or Athena had imagined before; it not only created a bunch of es made out of his own Ki instantly, but the less remained after the initial amount, the strohe remaining ones would bee.

  Of course, wouldn’t it be easier to simply create a sirong e? Well, it was withieique’s ditions and effects for them to be many at the beginning, and this also was what made the teique s.

  By fooling foes into thinking the fight was easy at the beginning, only for the remaining es to utterly destroy them upon a few of them died.

  Alongside that, they could also trol the remaining crystalized fragments of the es that died, utilizing them to create Formations, ons, Armor, or strehemselves even further.

  “Huuuh…”

  Orion sighed as he trated, fog on the foe in front of him. His aura fluctuated around his body, stantly growing stronger.

  His wounds were quickly regeed a not even scars behind, making Fang Gu Lan click his tohat all the damage he did ended being for nothing.

  “Ah well, it doesn’t matter how much you heal yourself; it’s over, kid,” he smiled. “Now, show me your face of despair as I tear your body and soul to shreds!”

  The Venerable maed a rainbow sword out of the remaining crystalized fragments, rushing towards Orion at lightning speed! He moved so fast that not a single person other than Orion could even see him moving at all.

  “There!”

  Orion gritted his teeth as he intercepted a desding attack from above. Fang Gu Lan’s swordsmanship teiques couldn’t pare to his mother, whom he had faced head-on.

  CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!

  “Nnggh…!”

  The Venerable was rapidly beihrough, as Orion evaded his sword attacks, whily carried brute ford had poor dexterity and agility to them.

  The boy used his sharp cws to imbue them with his ied version of Soul Bde, making it possible for his own wolf cws to be like swords.

  "Yeah, you might’ve gotten stronger, but you ’t pare to mom’s swordsmanship!” The boy roared furiously, charging his cws with even more power.

  “{Divine White Wolf’s Heavenly Bde Cws}!”

  SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!

  A storm of white and silver sshing waves reached Fang Gu Lan’s powerful e, shattering through his armor and rapidly beginning to weaken it.

  “Dammit! He’s destroying my armor already?! No, this ’t be happening to me!”

  Fang Gu Lan quickly harnessed his powers once more, iing more of the one he possessed into his e, the armor rapidly darkened, gaining some aspects of his true body’s current armor.

  “Don’t look down on me!”

  The furious e roared furiously, his Aura exploding into endless darkness born from the Reverse Symbols that the inal body had stolen from the mysterious otherworldly heroes that nded on his world by ce.

  “RAAAHHH!”

  His swrew several meters bigger, overflowing with darkness and red energies, swinging it down to gee dozens of explosive shockwaves of energy capable of cutting through most things.

  BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

  Orio his cws being sliced and shattered, his fingers bleeding a little as he realized the greater power that the e gained out of nowhere.

  “He’s using the power his true body gained?” Orion looked upwards. “That’s the power mama’s fighting against!”

  “Heheh… HAHAHAHA!” Fang Gu Lan’s e ughed maliciously. “Everything in Murim, and now this world, shall belong to me and me alone! I am the only ohat plunder even the heavens! See what this power is? It’s nothing but what I’ve rightfully taken from someone else, their Fate and Strength, all mine now!”

  As he ughed, he rushed towards Orion; his attacks became incredibly fast and chaotic, irregur and almost uable. He appeared and disappeared, leaving explosions of darkness and red mist everywhere.

  CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!

  Orion was once again being overwhelmed; he was uo nd a si, Fang Gu Lan’s e being faster and faster, fueled by the dark powers he had taken from heroes from another world!

  It wasn’t just merely a thing of cultivation anymore; when powers from other worlds that work through different hysics are brought to the table, uable challenges occur.

  “Orion!”

  Athena rushed down, the fragments of the es she destroyed rapidly swirling around her as she fused them with her Formation like before, creating a powerful set of armor once more.

  “That set of armor… that’s the same that the main body is wearing while fighting mom…!” Athena thought, gng up into the skies. “It seems weaker now, but I work with that.”

  The fragments tain some of Fang Gu Lan’s power and even a e to his in. These fragments couldn’t be seen by anybody else than him, or so he imagined, but Athena erhaps the only one, aside from perhaps Bing Xue, that could see them.

  And also turn them into her own power!

  “{Divine White Heaven Formation Arts}: {Heavenly Heroic Armor Formation}!”

  FLAAASH!

  The fragments merged with the Sky itself surrounding her, white clouds ing around her body as her own endless fountain of Ki fueled the entire armor, materializing it.

  “Woah… This armor is…?!” Athena was surprised, looking at her own armor in surprise, whided up giving her more power than she imagined.

  Her armor’s appearance remained semi-meical but wasn’t as bulky as before and was much slenderer and pact around her body, which had temporarily aged in her “strengthened form.”.

  It had sharp silver shoulder pads, golden linings here and there, and a helmet shaped like a white wolf’s head made of white metal, with glowing golden eyes made of crystal.

  To make things more shog, the chest had a crystalized golde, fueling the armor with an otherworldly power.

  “By trying to imitate that armor through his e fragments and my own formation, I think I’ve made something I hought possible…”

  Athena, the brightest of Bing Xue’s children, was shocked by her own genius!

  FLASH!

  With a siep down, her body moved instantly towards Fang Gu Lan’s e, pung it on the head with immense force.

  BOOOM!

  An explosion of white light engulfed the dark ranger-like Venerable e, the dark clouds stantly ing his body, instantly beginning to dissipate.

  “W-What is that light?!”

  The e gred at Athena with anger, realizing that her new form was strange, resembling the armor of the heroes he had caught and stolen their power, and even his own armor.

  “Sister!”

  Orion was surprised his sister had arrived for his rescue, as it was always the opposite when it came to such things.

  “Orion! Are you okay?”

  “I’m fine! Just a bit overwhelmed, but I go on forever!”

  The boy’s Aura surged even strohan before; he urposely taking damage to fuel his Aura’s power, as it possessed an Innate Power his mother had discovered that she simply called “Berserk-type Aura”.

  It e of Aura that absorbed power the more damage the owner received, enhang and strengthening its effects, materialization, embodiment, form, and durability.

  This was something usually rare in the world of Murim, but not impossible! Cultivators with great Talents were usually born with “Aura Types”, Berserk-type Aura was a rather rare one, but that Bing Xue had faced a few times before.

  There were other, more terrifying types of Auras though... Such as Fang Gu Lan’s “Devour-type Aura” which absorbs the energy of foes that it touches and fights against, weakening them over time.

  “You…! Unbelievable!” Fang Gu Lan muttered. “Again, you stole my powers! YOU FAKER!”

  The furious Fang Gu Lan rushed towards Athena, swinging his giant bck swainst her. The girl and her brother intercepted him together, their strength bined as one.

  CLAAASH!

  “You separated us because you ’t go against us together, ’t you?!” Orion smiled.

  “As long as we’re together, we are invincible!” Athena roared.

  “W-What?! What is this strength?! ACK!”

  Fang Gu Lan screamed, his sword being pushed back with immense force as Orion’s Soul Bde Cws tore through its bde and geed cracks, only for Athena’s thrusting attacks with her spear to shatter the sword pletely.

  CRASH! CRASH! CRASH!

  “T-The sword…!”

  Fang Gu Lan tried tee the sword by reusing the fragments, but Athena grabbed them with her hands and then threw them towards her brother, purifying the darkness in the process.

  “Brother! You need an armor too! Mama’s prote seems uo pletely protect against someone like him!”

  “Okay! Fine!”

  “{Divine White Heaven Formation Arts}: {Heavenly Heroic Armor Formation}!”

  FLAAASH!

  Orion swallowed his pride as a warrior that liked using only his body, as an armor simir to his sister appeared around his body, although it was rger like his body, with a wilder look. The wolf-shaped helmet was also more feral, with loeeth and red eyes; the white armor was slightly grayer as well, with red colors instead of gold.

  RUMBLE!

  As if the two armors synized, the moment Athena gave oo her brother, her own also grew stroheir Bonds as Siblings strengthening their armether with themselves.

  “Impossible…! No!” Fang Gu Lan was frustrated; this had never happeo him before. “You’re copying my own Armor?! Who gave you the right?! And you don’t even possess their powers… This is nonsensical!”

  What Fang Gu Lan didn’t know was that the Symbols he corrupted hadn’t simply bee darker versions of themselves. They were like s with two different sides. The darker side he had created was emp him, but the inal side of these Symbols remained within his own body.

  And because they couldn’t unleash their power, they instead began to el it towards those that could, chosehat fought for justice!

  As long as he kept unleashing the power of the Corrupted Symbols, the inal Symbols Powers would not go anywhere but would simply find new hosts, evehey were within his possession.

  And right now…

  Hope and Reliability had found their new hosts.

  “The Symbols…!” Fang Gu Lan gritted his teeth in frustration. “Why are they shining within them, even though I have them with me?!”

  “Prepare yourself!”

  “We’re not going easy anymore!”

  The two siblings charged forward, pung the e from every a the same time; their sharp metallic cws tore through his bck armor with mighty attacks.

  CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!

  “Uuurrggh! You bastards!”

  Each of their attacks geed explosions of yellow and bck light, the power of the Symbols maing fiercer than ever before the more they fought.

  “{Seven-Headed Bck Heaven Dragon}!”

  The armor of Fang Gu Lan’s e shapeshifted out of nowhere, seven gigantic meical dragon heads surging from his body out of nowhere, attag Athena and Orion at the same time, pushing the siblings far away!

  CRAAASH!

  However, they quickly went back, pung, kig, and g their way through the bck steel as the draic robot heads were beiroyed oer another, shooting red sers that they reflected with their fists.

  BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

  “T-They’re invincible or something?!”

  Fang Gu Lan charged against them, materializing dozens of bck swords against them, which the siblings shattered with their fists, each of their punches geing explosions of enormous quantities of Ki.

  Until finally, they reached him!

  “No…! I won’t go down so easily! This e is my stro one!”

  The Venerable was furious and frustrated; he was uo prehend what was wrong with his oppos, but they seemed to have endless potential… and stamina!

  No matter how they hahey simply would stand back up and fight again.

  “Dammit! Stop…! STOP I SAID!”

  Eventually, he couldn’t even defend or intercept their blows anymore; like two stars of white light and bck light, the two siblings stantly attacked him from every angle, desding at rapid speed.

  CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!

  His bck armor started giving up, shattering apart more and more, until eventually…

  Crack, crack…!

  CRASH!

  “Aarrgh! No!”

  The e screamed as his armor broke down to pieces and dissipated.

  “T-The power…! Why is it not w on my e anymore?!”

  He didn’t realize that the more these new armors puhe dark armor, the more they collected the power of the symbols he was drawing power from.

  “This is as far as yoing!”

  “Take this and this!”

  The siblings began ganging on him mercilessly, breaking his arms and legs, tearing apart his hair mercilessly, and theually, as Fang Gu Lan screamed angrily and cried, they crushed him pletely with a bitack!

  “{bination Teique}: {Heavenly Wolf’s Howl}!”

  Their Auras verged into a gigantic white and bck wolf, howling furiously, as a massive beam of pure Heavenly Ki ed the e entirely!

  “T-This is ridiculous!”

  BOOOMMM!!!
