The rise of the pervert primordial

Aster observed the battle unfolding in front of him, normally he would have stepped in, not to help a stranger but because he had to pass through this area to reach the second main node.

But the battle was about to end so a couple of minutes didn't make any difference in the plan, besides he wanted to confirm something.

Oblivious to the group that was observing the fight, the gray cladded figure focused on dealing with the early-stage Void Manipulation realm spirit beast in front of her.

"Roarr!", the alligator roared and then turned its body around, a large tail was whipped towards the gray cladded figure, but that semi-sphere made out of black metal blocked in front of her.

"Clang!", the sounds of metals colliding followed by a cracking noise echoed through the whole area.

"Roaaaar!", a second roar filled the area, but this time it was pained one, the scales on the tail of the alligator opened to reveal the soft defenseless meat below of it.

The black spherical shield which's outer face was covered in yang flames, retracted once again returning to the gray cladded figure.

Inside of that flash of gray spirit energy, from which Aster could clearly see the real appearance of the one who was fighting the alligator, it was none other than the gatekeeper elder of the Steel Tower sect.

eαglesnᴏνel That gray-haired girl who told the guys from the Castle Armored sect to get lost, not too long after she crushed the teammates of Renard.

Unlike before, some parts of her body were covered in a combat suit made out of countless small pieces of black metal, those were the same things that formed the spherical shield that protected her from all the attacks of the alligator.

Apparently, she could control them and make them expand or shrank as she liked, what surprised Aster is that there weren't any waves of soul energy, she wasn't a soul cultivator and yet it was manipulating something so skillfully.

Also, those black things weren't a treasure, but they gave off the same feeling as her, similar to Camila's spear, which meant they originated in her.

"Body constitution", concluded Aster.

Eris who was also looking at the fight with interest in her eyes, nodded.

"I swear, sometimes I wonder where in the world did me and Mylene were sent to by that spatial breach, even at the Divine Firmaments it isn't so easy to find constitution or lineage owners as it is here, I also don't recognize any of the constitutions in the book Lilia lent me", she said.

That's a subject Aster is interested into as well, though weak, there is too many families with lineages or people with body constitutions for a Mortal Plane, that's also part of why Natasha and Charlotte were convinced Aster belonged to a high ranked Divine Firmament, every one of the girls accompanying him had special traits and all were different, meaning they couldn't belong to the same family or force.

In comparison Rox and Ley's groups indeed were formed by people with lineages, but they were all the same, which is still not that easy to see, but nowhere as amazing as a group formed of people with different special traits, at the very least that meant belonging to a super force similar to the Yin Azure Palace which is formed by many clans that joined together.

Leaving that aside, Aster soon noticed a strange pattern, the gray-haired girl could have dodged many of the attacks of the alligator, but she was blocking each one of them with that spherical shield.

Each time she did it, not only the scales of the alligator lost in the head on clash, but the girl wasn't affected at all, also the yang stealing needles drew yang from the nearby crystal trees, and the alligator was burned.

The alligator suddenly went crazy and actually roared as it absorbed one of the many black clouds of yin energy on the sky, its body exploded in dark blue light, it was using yin radiance.

But that wasn't a normal one, yin or yang radiance is a relatively easy technique to master, which might make you wonder why others didn't use it to protect their whole groups like Aster has done throughout the mission.

The answer is simple, one can't use more than one has, otherwise they will be burning away their lives, in Aster's case, his vitality is so high that at with each beat of his heart, he is producing yang energy, which then is transported through his body and ends up storing in different places for different purposes.

So, when he uses yang radiance, he is just externalizing the insane production of yang his body has, and that is enough to produce a peak Genesis Manifestation radiance, only when he wants to go further than that he has to put some effort and use some of the yang stored in his body to increase the output, but his recovery ratio is enough for him to not worry about.

Because unlike others he is producing yang 24/7, but others aren't that lucky, the alligator for example, right now after absorbing that cloud of yin and using it to improve its yin radiance, its vitality was being reduced, maybe as a spirit beast a few thousands of years worth of vitality isn't much, but the fact is that the alligator was reducing its lifespan for the sake of the next attack.

"Roarrrr!", the alligator opened its snout and it released an insane amount of black water, shooting a black jet towards the gray-haired girl, who immediately protected herself by isolating herself into that black spherical shield.

"Boooom!", a loud explosion echoed through the place as the black jet of water clashed against the spherical shield, the jet seemed to have met an immovable mountain, the stream separated into many smaller jets that landed all over the place.

The whole area became a sieve, because the smaller jets easily penetrated the solid ground as well as the crystal trees destroying them on the spot, though the destructive result was indeed high, the result wasn't what the alligator was expecting.

It started charging a second shot of that attack, but before it could fire, the gray-haired girl disappeared from her previous position, and appeared in front of the alligator.

Without letting any sound, she just punched towards the back of the spirit beast, the black metal plaques separated and then piled in front of her fist, she actually punched them and the next thing that happened was that a huge curtain of dust raised.

"Boooooom!", the ground trembled and then exploded, red liquid rained from above, despite the fact that the black clouds didn't contain any water.

What it was raining was blood, still it helped the dust settle to reveal the result of the previous attack, half of the alligator's body was gone, the beast didn't even have time to let out any sound as its body exploded, it was a quite a gory scene.

The gray-haired girl exhaled and then took the yin accumulation crystal from the alligator before she descended from the sky to retrieve the yang stealing needles from the crystal trees.

"Mm?", the girl suddenly raised her guard once again, she saw the space a few meters away from her distort before a group led by a black-haired youth appeared.

Though she recognized the newcomer as the Lord of Twin Sword valley from the Myriad Occupation sect, an allied force, in this place it was an all against all currently, in fact she knew that if she didn't leave the group of her own sect, she would have been attacked by the Fritz and all the others as well.

Her eyes gazed at one of the newcomers which she also recognized and she frowned, Agnes entered at the same time as her but she arrived so fast to this place because she had a map, with information that even the Fritz didn't know.

The idea was for her to arrive and get the treasure before any of the strongest people got to this place, but with Agnes and the tall brown-haired woman, she knew her plan had failed, no, in fact with Agnes was enough, she knew she had no chance to beat her, as she had left a big impression on her.

So, the question here is, why wasn't she either moving aside or running away, but instead stood there as she summoned those black metal pieces forming a semi-sphere around her, surprisingly she was going to fight.

Aster came out of the group and then said.

"Are you an Atria or a Fritz, those are yang stealing needles, which are exclusive not only to the Atria but more specifically to just two people in the whole clan, the Patriarch and the Supreme elder after all, and the Supreme elder only has a son, but the Patriarch has no descendants, so where did you get them?".

The eyes of the gray-haired girl glowed and a tinge of hostility appeared on them, she was about to risk her life to risk her life to kill at least the black-haired youth even if it meant her death, when the next words coming from that same person made her freeze on the spot.

"You are the daughter of Tomas Atria".

The girl finally couldn't keep her poker face, she frowned and then gritted her teeth.

"So, you knew it, and that's why you approached uncle Jack as soon as you arrived to this Stellar System, leave him and my mother out of this… you are a dual cultivator right, I'll be yours, you can do whatever you want to me in exchange, I won't resist", she said with a determined voice.

After listening to her, Aster nearly choked, even if his yang energy practically radiated out of him all the time, he didn't have the "disgusting" feeling they had, this has been confirmed by the girls, his yang is bright and pure bringing a warm sensation to the girls that surround him, that's in part why they don't mind to be radiated by it, even if they aren't in a relationship with Aster.

"Oi, do I look like that kind of person!", said Aster.

"Mm, otherwise how could you drink uncle's spirit liqueur and not explode, also the Lord of the Twin Sword valley is known for always being surrounded by women, the rumors say that you joined the Myriad Occupation sect with the intention of claiming all the disciples as yours, and make them compete to then take those who outstand for yourself".

"If not, why will you enter a sect where men have it tougher to increase their status, just hurry up and swear you won't lay a finger on my mother or uncle, I won't resist after that, otherwise you won't get even my corpse".

The roles have inversed, the previously quiet girls became talkative all of a sudden, Aster on the other hand was speechless.

Which bastard is spreading those rumors about him he wondered, the girls couldn't help but laugh at the situation, which made Aster poke Aria's soft cheek as he said.

"Your little competition is making others believe I'm taking advantage of those girls, it seems you all need some punishment", Tiana who was also glared as she participated in those small tournaments with the other girls of the Black Sword faction felt a shiver running down her spine after hearing the word "punishment", she still hasn't recovered from what her mother made her wear not too long ago.

Fortunately for her, Aria's cuteness saved her this time, Aria simply snuggled on Aster's chest while giving him puppy eyes and the latter forgot why he was even angry to begin with.

"You are after the Diamond Bone Orchid right, tell me what do you want it for, you sect is probably thinking of giving it away for some benefits again… one would think they would have learned after screwing it up once", he said.
