Battle and Sex Is All A Primordial Fiend Needs



Irene was gone, Seth didn't see any sliced or crushed body sliding down the already closed hole, so he guessed she was safe.

Looking at the direct bottom of the wall wasn't feasible for Seth, so he had decided to wait for some time and confirm Irene's safety.

Barely a second had passed before Seth was forced to immediately leave his position to avoid a cannon blast

"Gong, gon, gong," Several bells began ringing in the city.

Seth wasn't surprised by what was happening, he had just pierced through the city lifeline even if it was just for a second, basically declaring himself its number enemy, at this point, Edwin might now even bat an eye sacrificing half the city just to kill him.

Like a dead city revived, cannon balls and arrow beams began soaring towards Seth from both the cannons that were on the sections of the wall, and from the building which stood opposite to his position on the wall.

After his first dodge, Seth took his left that had a farther away sentry post and began running along it.

Artillery strikes landed all around him but Seth easily avoided them.

Seth knew that the artillery strikes were just there to stall and slow him down, the real firepower meant to kill him, Kaiser level cultivators were on their way.

With the barrier to his right, cannon fire from both front and back, and explosive qi signatures coming from his left, Seth was boxed, seemingly heading toward doom, until all of a sudden he wasn't.

A sudden stamp of his left leg had him running to the right, charging toward the barrier, and then as he got closer, Seth flooded both his arms with qi and swung them at the barrier.

"booooo…" the sound of Seth and the barriers collision sounded, but before all the momentum in Seth's attack could be exhausted, the barrier shattered in an explosion of chaotic qi with Seth diving into it and through the new opening.

…

Spotting several new cuts all around his body, Seth entered into a free fall, falling down the length of the inner city's very tall wall, but that didn't bother him as he could only smile at the moment.

Escaping Monwac City by breaking through the barrier was not an easy feat and Seth felt a little proud of himself despite acknowledging that he used his enlightenment sphere.

Some little studies and short observations, and while Seth still had zero ideas on how what seals powered the barrier or how to even make a replica of them, he had understood the basic principle that the barrier used to operate, revolution.

Starting from the very top of the barrier, qi moved around in a circle, revolving all around the frame that was the barrier, spiraling downward and going past the wall till it reached the earth.

With this method, qi was always in constant motion, so if one area of the barrier was being attacked, time wasn't wasted in waiting for the seal to send extra qi to that area.

As the qi in the barrier was always in constant motion, qi will be immediately and automatically supplied to the affected area of the barrier, strengthening it or healing up whatever damage had been inflicted on it.

With this working, whether or not Irene had been present, Seth could never have gotten through the barrier on the first try seeing as by the time he worked off the rebound of releasing his dragon flame, the opening in the barrier would have already closed.

Seth breaking through the inner city's barrier for the first time had drained almost everything out of Seth, and were to be asked at this moment to repeat the first attack he had done not long ago, he wouldn't be able to.

This meant that Seth had only one try to attempt this escape, and after successfully completing the first part and rescuing Irene in the process, it was time for the second and hardest part.

If a shallow hole was to suddenly appear beneath a river rapidly moving in a single direction on a plain field, water from all around this hole will flow into it.

Then when the hole gets filled with water, there will be an initial clash of water from both sides before water from the origin will be pushed forwards and set the river on its normal course.

During that small clash that occurred when the hole gets filled up, several ripples and disruptions occur in several areas of the river, and this was the theory Seth used to shatter the barrier by merely punching it.

With the hole he had caused rapidly draining qi from all sides to quickly heal up, Seth had begun running across the barrier in search of a chaotic disruption, one he had found in a convenient spot, and with a powerful punch had sent the entire area exploding.

Now in the air and in a fall that might result in disastrous injuries, Seth showed no fear as his downward acceleration increased with each passing second.

Seth had his eyes closed enjoying the wind blowing against his face, the feeling of freedom consuming him and bringing about a certain euphoria, but just as he was a few meters off the ground, his eyes snapped open and his figure turned hazy and disappeared.

With a simple and short use of shadow flight, Seth kicked himself out of his rapid descent and gently landed on the ground.

The last time Seth had used show flight was when he was fighting against Diana, he had been in a desperate situation.

Back then he hadn't met the necessary requirements to use the technique, and so he had suffered an almost crippling backlash.

Due to Seth's previous experience with the bone-breaking backlash, he had always been averse to using the technique and had kept away from it, but a few seconds ago though he wasn't in anguish, he had still been in a desperate situation, and hoping on the cultivation advancements he had made, he had used it.

Other than a light ring in his head which quickly died off, Seth felt relatively okay after using the shadow flight technique.

He wondered as to the reason for the very mild backlash but then chalked it up to him being a lot stronger than he was the last time he used it.

Now on the ground, Seth looked up, having one last glance at the barrier before jogging off in search of Irene.
