Supreme Lord: I can extract everything!

Chapter 735 Qi's Power

Michael spent the following 24 hours refining his control with Qi and Extraction. He tried using the Soultraits differently to test their limits and how far he could derive from their original purpose.

After 24 hours, Michael had killed another 400 Tekur, and only one Dimensional Pillar remained. The Tekur noticed that something was wrong. They had either not seen a single enemy or died at Michael's hands.

Upon discovering that three Dimensional Pillars had been destroyed, The Tekur changed their tactics. They gathered near the last Dimensional Pillar and waited impatiently for the arrival of their 'invisible' enemies. Little did they know that there was only one enemy to defeat.

Michael observed the Tekur as they gathered near the Dimensional Pillar. He could have appeared at their dead angle above the Dimensional Pillar and destroyed it with an Extraction Globe, but that wouldn't have created the desired effect. Michael desired the Tekur's Soul Techniques, SoulStar Fragments, and Soultrait Symbols.

The Tekur had to be killed before the Flag War could end soundly.

But instead of slowly dwindling their numbers or putting himself in danger by throwing himself into the masses of Tekur, Michael decided to end the battle a little bit faster. Even if he was powerful, it would be incredibly difficult to defeat 70ish Supreme Soldiers. It would be easy to beat them one by one, but enduring the attack of 70ish Supreme Soldiers with Superior Class Soul Techniques and the Soullife Arts Foundation Break was not something Michael wanted to test.

He was powerful, but his body was on the verge of breaking apart whenever he used his full power. A single mistake, and he would die.

Therefore, Michael retrieved a bunch of Elemental Crystals and emptied them using Extraction. The Elemental crystals transformed into hollow crystals without an ounce of elements-attributed energy. Under normal circumstances, the crystals would shatter, but Michael ensured that nothing like that would happen.

He infused Enhanced Qi into the crystals, filling them slowly.

Qi crystals came into existence.

[You like this stuff, don't you?] Danny asked his younger brother, who could only smile.

"Of course I do. Before I manifested Extraction, I never expected to obtain a powerful Soultrait. I had to study convenient ways to destroy my enemies with means other than my combat prowess. You should know how much danger we're usually exposed to due to our Curses. The dangers are an opportunity to grow stronger, but they're also filled with numerous possibilities to…die… That scared me a bit when I was young, so I studied a lot."

Michael didn't want to lie to his brother. It might sound better that he studied to be prepared for the Origin Expanse and to rapidly claim and expand his territory using everything he'd learned. However, at the end of the day, Michael knew that the family Curse's existence was what pushed Michael to study and train as if there was no tomorrow even before he manifested his War Rune.

And that was a good thing because he would have died even before his territory's protection barrier disappeared if it hadn't been for his training.

Michael spent the next few hours filling the crystals with Enhanced Qi. Then, he used Cosmic Stride with enough space-attributed energy to teleport the Qi Crystals into the Tekur's rows and their camps.

The smaller the objects transported using Cosmic Stride, the fewer spatial fluctuations can be sensed. Even Michael could hardly be sensed by highly perceptive Awakened whenever he used Cosmic Stride. Sensing the arrival of the tiny Qi Crystals was highly unlikely.

Exactly 30 Qi Crystals were spread throughout the Tekur's camp. Michael used Cosmic Stride to appear above them, attracting their attention momentarily. Then, the mayhem began.

Michael triggered the Qi crystals, unleashing the devastating force of the compressed Enhanced Qi.

The crystals shattered.

Shockwave of compressed Enhanced Qi swamped the Tekur's camp. It washed through the entire camp explosively and tore the unguarded men and women apart.

Most Tekur couldn't react fast enough to the sudden explosion. Even if they could react, it was not like they could create Soul Energy to use their Soullife Arts right away. Everyone was exposed to the devastating power of Enhanced Qi, which penetrated their carapace and entered their insides without delay.

The Tekur screamed only for a moment. A moment later, the Enhanced Qi spread through their insides. It split up into countless strands that exploded, tearing their insides apart mercilessly.

Michael watched the sudden death of close to 350 Tekur calmly. He conjured tiny Extraction Globes and used Cosmic Stride to transport them beside some of the survivors. The Tekur who survived the sudden assault had either been far enough from the nearest Qi Crystal as they exploded, or they responded fast enough to use their Soultraits.

Only a few Soultraits were useful enough to block the Qi Crystal's explosions, and the massive waves of Enhanced Qi, but a bunch of Tekur managed to make it. To their misery, the Extraction Globes couldn't be blocked easily. The Extraction Globes erupted in cuntless golden currents the instant they appeared behind the surviving Tekur.

The currents shot in all directions and devoured everyone daring enough to obstruct their path. They didn't look menacing. Instead, the golden currents had a warm feeling to them. To the Tekur's misery, they only looked gentle.

Some necks went missing alongside other body parts. They were devoured a quarter of a second after the Extraction Globes erupted.

[Even if the Supreme Tekur are more advanced than their kin, they're still not Higher Lifeforms. They have to produce enough Soul Energy to use Foundation Break. But that is not something they can do in a split second. The Tekur are too young and inexperienced to have such tremendous control of their Soul Power to produce Soul Energy this quickly. You are different, Michael. You can do it!]

Michael had consumed enough Memory Orbs to have near-

perfect control of his Soul Power. At this point, he could produce Soul Energy at will, which he used now that there were only a few enemies left.

He unleashed the Cursed Seals and Serpent Seals before going all-out. He conjured the Aethyr Blade and coated it with Enhancement, Qi, and True Extraction. Then he used Heavenly Beast Physique and Foundation Break, slowly breaking his body apart by attaining overwhelming power for a few seconds. A few seconds was all he needed to teleport beside the injured Tekur.

He sliced them to pieces without an ounce of mercy.

Some Supreme Soldiers tried to use Foundation Break as well, but they were temporarily incapable of producing Soul Energy. Some managed to control their origin energy, but most survivors had difficulties accessing it.

'Qi is quite powerful,' Michael figured. He'd always thought that Qi was mysterious, but he never noticed that It affected his enemies' force control once it entered their bodies. That was something he realized only now.

[I told you that my Soultrait is powerful! You didn't believe me!]

"Yes, yes. You are always right, Danny."

[That's not what I meant!]

"Yes, yes."

Michael rolled his eyes before his focus returned to the people around him.

A few more Tekur were waiting for their inevitable deaths.
