Cultivation Through Artifacts

Chapter 140: Spirit Body

After killing the Ice Phoenix as though it was just a simple Low Stage Beast, Seila consumed its Essence and continued on her way.

As she did, she met with several other Ice Phoenixes one after another, but in front of her sword, none of them was able to survive.

Each and every one of them was sliced into numerous pieces in a blink of an eye, leaving none of them alive as all of them were turned into Essence and consumed by Seila right away!

And what was even more terrifying that she used to kill them with Khal’s Secret Art every single time! Using his Second Form as though she learned it for years, her proficiency with the Azure Snake Dance became greater by the second while even slight modifications could be noticed in it!

The Second Form was a way to avoid and get behind the enemy in close combat while initiating a counter-attack with the help of the Essence around the palms.

Yet, this Essence that should have been around the palms slowly began to move around Seila’s sword, covering its blade with a gentle blue light akin to blue flames!

When Elder Caz saw this, a grin emerged on his face, and began to praise Seila in his mind.

“Learning and Modifying to perfection with a single glance. The real nature of the Mirror Sight! Not even the Gods have what it takes to oppose such a heavenly power, haha!”

Seila continued to walk in the frozen domain akin to someone taking a peaceful stroll in a park, her sword killing any Beast that dared to approach her without mercy!

But despite killing so many powerful creatures in a gracious manner that was still an underestimation to call elegant, her expression was cold and indifferent from start to end.

Her eyes, expression, and stature held such confidence and indifference that it made others believe, in her eyes, no one was worthy enough to stand before her!

This was not arrogance, but pure and sheer confidence that can from her power!

Because of this many in the world began to worship her deeply and even give her the name of Queen!

Time passed in a blink of an eye, and Seila’s strength improved with each second. However, after killing another Beast with ease, suddenly her movements halted and her gaze shifted at a frozen rock in the distance.

“If you don’t want to die right away I would recommend showing yourself.” Seila’s cold voice resounded in the air, turning many confused in a flash; some even began to search among the screens to find out who Seila was talking to.

Though not even a second later as her voice fell, a guy stepped out from behind the rock and with a wry smile on his face began to laugh.

It was surprisingly Theon, the one from Skywave Academy!

“Third Cultivation Stage…” Seila’s eyes suddenly flashed with disappointment, her mood turning sour right away.

“If that’s the case then…” without hesitation Seila raised her sword toward the skies, and slowly her sword began to be illuminated with golden light.

Then seeing this seemed surprised and even his face paled slightly, but had no time to talk as Seila already swung her sword, causing the world to be enveloped with golden light in an instant!

BOOOM!

The sky trembled and the earth split, a powerful gust of wind appeared sending frozen debris and entire trees flying into the air!

Without holding back anything, Seila used her World Devouring Strike on Theon, giving him no mercy at all!

“…”

Sometime later as the light began to dissipate, revealing the terrifying sight that Seila’s attack caused many breathed in cold air, their palms sweating because of nervousness.

Such power… She used this power not once but twice and in a short amount of time!

Shaking earth, demolishing mountains, and splitting oceans… In the eyes of every Cultivator, this was what real strength and power meant!

“Poor guy, he died without having the chance to speak. She truly is a queen who despises any being below her… Sigh…”

Many sighed and felt sympathy toward Theon who died without the chance to fight back. For a Cultivator, such death was the worst!

“Woah! It’s quite a powerful Secret Art!”

However, just as everyone was about to forget Theon’s name as he died, abruptly a calm voice sounded from the deep crater, shocking many right away!

Even Seila, who was about to leave stopped abruptly, her delicate eyes widening from poor shock!

Turning toward the pit her strike formed, Seila and all the Cultivators currently spectating watched as Theon’s figure slowly emerged from the crater, his hand continuously patting his robe.

“!?”

Feeling the kind of awkward atmosphere in the air, Theon stopped walking and raise his gaze at Seila. Seeing her sharp gaze on him he frowned but suddenly realized something and widened his eyes.

“Oh, wait. That assault just now should have killed me…” thought Theon, obviously not daring to say that out loud before Seila.

However, as though Seila read his mind, she squinted her eyes and asked coldly, “Why are you so shocked?”

“Huh? Ah… It’s nothing…” replied Theon, but his answer only made his thoughts even more obvious, causing many to become furious.

Seila was one of them too and her mood immediately changed to the worst, resulting in raising her sword.

“Courting death!” snorted Seila, and vanished from her spot and reappeared the next second behind Theon.

“Don’t blame me for your own mis-” as Seila turned around she seemed angry but the next second her eyes widened once again!

Theon, who should have been lying on the ground in several pieces was standing before her, his face inches away from hers!

“Ho-” exclaimed Seila with shock before a sharp pain pierced into her stomach, sending her body flying into the distance like a cannonball!

BAM!

Crashing into a frozen tree and turning it into debris, an arrow of blood flew out of Seila’s mouth covering the frozen ground before her with dark red blood!

“WHAT!?” Elder Caz stood up abruptly, his eyes shaking with tremor as he stared at Theon’s body on the screen.

“How was he able to survive both of her attacks? She clearly attacked all of his vital points hence there is no way he was able to dodge all of them!”

Elder Caz’s gaze shook powerfully, glaring at Theon like a ghost from a nightmare!

However, a second later his eyes widened even larger, almost popping out of their sockets as a sudden and hard realization hit him.

“Spirit Body… That boy has Spirit Body Talent!?”

Spirit Body Talent was an extremely rare Body type Talent, almost as rare as Asur’s Healing Talent; only one of every thousand Cultivators obtained a Spirit Body and all of them could be considered as indestructible beings on the higher Stages!

Spirit Body was a Talent that let Cultivator’s body turn into a non-solid state for a limited time, letting any attack through their body without sustaining any injury or harm; so killing them was basically impossible!

In the First Cultivation Stage Cultivators could keep their Spirit Body working only for a few seconds while on the Ninth Stage it could even reach several days!

The higher one was in Cultivation Base the longer the duration lasted while the occasions where they could use it became way more frequent!

Only with the help of a weapon that was capable of cutting the soul itself could one hope to kill such a Cultivator or when the Spirit Body was on cooldown.

Any other means will only end up as a failure!

“Cough… Cough…” standing up from the debris while coughing blood onto the ground, Seila’s eyes shifted toward Theon, her face as cold as ice!
