Corrupt Creations

Lilian's abilities were centered around the Phoenix Flames, a special form of fire elemental laws and because of that, she felt that there wasn't a need for a weapon. Her own body was her weapon, that's why just as she extended her arms towards First Shadow and it was akin to pointing a gun at her direction.

"Conflagration!"

Fwoosh!

From Lilian's palms, an ocean of flames surged forwards, burning the whole sky and the high temperatures reached First Shadow in a few seconds of time.

A wall of darkness appeared in front of her, blocking the path of those consecutive waves of flames and isolating First Shadow's body from the heat as well. However, she suddenly felt a single wall wouldn't last long enough and had to create another one.

From that point onwards, it was easily noticeable that Fist Shadow was consuming at least twice the amount of Mana that Lilian was using to create her skills for offense or defense. That difference might not seem to be a lot, but if they were to keep fighting for a long time, Lilian would still have half her Mana when First Shadow's Mana pool reached zero. At that moment, it would be a certain dead end for her.

Lilian suddenly initiated a barrage of fire attack, not letting her enemy have time for a rest and not even letting her take a breath during that time. She threw many huge fireballs at First Shadow's direction and at that same time, she made hundreds of huge pillars of flames surge at the area that she was constantly moving to.

First Shadow felt that the pressure on her kept increasing, until that at a certain time, her dark elemental defensive techniques failed to contain all that fire power and some fire balls exploded right beside her body.

First Shado was sent flying away like a deflated balloon, hitting the ground half a kilometer away from the initial point. As she was buried deep down inside the earth, many more fire attribute spells came raining down on her, making everything around the place she fell, be engulfed in Phoenix Flames.

Lilian only stopped casting more abilities, when she felt tired of repeatedly creating those attacks.

At the moment she stopped, everything went silent and the only sound that remained, were the sounds of her flames sizzling.

However, Lilian felt it had been too easy and something wasn't right. Instead of letting her guard down, she made sure to expand her aura and guard against any possible hidden danger.

Actually, she was right. At that moment, First Shadow's silhouette, could be seen standing still right inside that burning hell Lilian had created. The flames seemed to be totally ineffective against her and the aura around her body had thoroughly changed as well.

She calmly walked forward, leaving that burning area and Lilian immediately noticed something different in her physique. There was a dark dot right in the middle of her forehead and impressively, Lilian realized it was even dark than the night. An aura of darkness was circling around her and it seemed that nothing could reach her body anymore.

"You've forced me to do this..." First Shadow looked upwards and the black dot in the middle of her forehead resonated with something high up in the atmosphere. No... maybe it was resonating with something that was even beyond it.

Immediately, Lilian realized that what was about to come, was something that could even change the landscape. A power that reached the ceiling of what a Mana Sovereign initial-stage Realm cultivator could produce.

The whole environment started to darken, even more than when First Shadow used her dark elemental abilities to create those black portals. Actually, this time it seemed that a total blackout was about to arrive, swallowing every single spec of light away.

First Shadow kept staring upwards as if she was seeing something that was beyond the atmosphere, something that resided on that black matter of the infinite cosmos. From there, it was like she had received an answer for her calling.

In the void known as infinite cosmos, a gargantuan dark star, shinning with a strange black energy suddenly sent a wisp of its accumulated power towards a planet millions of lightyears away. That wisp of energy entered a dark elemental tunnel, cutting the entire cosmos to reach its destination.

First Shadow had once chanced upon a very strange inheritance, before she had even met the Demon Emperor. Actually, because of the great benefits she had received from that inheritance, that she was able to attract his attention.

That inheritance was a strange black dot, that had chosen to lodge inside of her. She found it somewhere inside the Hidden Dark Ruins, a special area located in the Demon Territory.

Regarding that strange boon, not even Velgor knew what it was or for what it served for, apart for the abnormal increase in her aptitudes, but inside her being, there was a very small black star, from where most of her talents came from.

No one knew about it, since there were no records regarding that strange boon she had acquired, but it was something left behind by a very specific deity, something that mortals shouldn't have been able to have access to. However, a wisp of that incredibly mysterious dark star, ended up falling in the Alteria continent and being found by her.

Lilian's superhuman senses suddenly captured something coming from the outer space. There was something there and she knew it, but her eyes weren't able to see anything.

Seth was rapidly moving through the terrain, going towards Velgor's location, but suddenly, he noticed a dark shadow covering the whole area, as if darkness was looming over his head. He didn't stop running, but he felt forced to look upwards. He felt that a strange force was present there, but he didn't know what it was.

First Shadow had requested and she had been answered. She felt that with a single phrase, she would be able to finally release that strange power she had never used till now. While still looking upwards, her eyes were filled with an obscure energy and inside of her head, some words suddenly started to appear.

"Dark... Star..."

BANG!

The dome of space shattered and a fissure formed on the sky over the area where Lilian and First Shadow were fighting, from where a dark light started to expand. The filament of energy sent from millions of lightyears away, had cut the space open and travelled to the lower realms, until it found who was calling for it.

But when leaving the spatial fissure, instead of still being a filament, it had transformed into a huge dark and massive object. It was like a star was preparing to come down towards the ground and decimate every single thing on that plane.

A heavy pressure descended over Lilian's shoulder, making her feel like she was standing underneath a twenty thousand meters tall mountain. The most impressive part of it all, was the fact that she was a Mana Sovereign entity and was still being pressured that way. If it were to be a Profound Mana Realm or lower in her place at that moment, not even his bones would have been left behind. Everything would have been grinded to dust particles.

A loud sound echoed, as if the world was about to end. Even Seth stopped his running, to look upwards that area, where a massive black mountain was starting to come down.

He thought of going back there more than ten time, but he forced himself to give up that idea. He had to trust on Lilian, because that's what she wanted from him. He knew that deep down, she still blamed herself for her powerlessness when the situation inside the Fire Labyrinth happened. Inside her head, her lack of power was the main reason behind those things happened there and with the Blazing Phoenix Sect.

Her sect was destroyed, her father had died and she didn't have a home to return to. Things were only able to reach that point, because she had been useless. But this time, Lilian didn't want to be useless, no... She wouldn't be useless.

Lilian looked at that massive black star and her eyes suddenly started to burn with fiery flames of rage. This was the moment that she could accomplish something on her own and an interruption from anyone else, would not be necessarily a good thing. It was just a pity, that there wasn't a way for her to return in time and use her new powers to save her father's life.

Inside of Lilian's body, her Phoenix bloodline started to burn and spread to her veins. It was igniting itself in order to produce the strongest flames it was able to produce. Just standing beside her, someone would be able to feel the temperature rising, easily surpassing the heat of inside a volcano.. Her bloodline was extracting the maximum amount of energy possible, since Lilian wanted to thoroughly destroy her enemy's skill.
