Not knowing how much time had passed, Ade started to regain consciousness, but he was not able to feel his body. The only thing he could feel was the pain coming from his chest.
Ade turned cold, and suddenly remembered what happened. He thought about the ring and in that moment his consciousness was sucked into the ring.
"The world is broken and the ancient gods are under my feet ". The power that came with the words seemed ancient and it made his blood boil.
It reverberated within the area as if it also came from ancient times. Ade's consciousness swayed and his whole body turned cold. He surveyed the area, but could not see anyone. The sound itself seemed to come from space itself.
"Who's there?". Ade suppressed his fear and shouted.
"To continue my blood line, you will have every being under you. You are truly fortunate youngster".
Everything became calm....
Ade took a long breath, but before he could think anymore, he passed out.
The burning sun came through the cave. At this time Ade had already woken up to reality. He laid on the rocky ground, and his body was still in pains especially the part of the body were the ring melted into. Fortunately the pain faded away as time went by.
"My chest... ". Ade had a face fool of worry, he checked for injuries or any casualties on his body, but to his surprise his body even looked like in a better condition than before and it gave a heavenly fragrance.
He was certain his body had undergone a series of changes and was at least ten times stronger than his previous body. After a while he took a deep breath, and stood up from the ground and looked at his surroundings. However, what came after left him in shock and disbelief.
The whole world seemed different, it seemed to have thousands of different colors. His vision was perfectly clear and made every thing beautiful. He could even see particles in the air, birds in their nests two hundred meters away. Ade thought about his mysteriously gained blessing after the shock passed, and revealed some happiness on his face.
Faint voices traveled into the cave from the outside.....
"Bola, are you sure the earth's stone grows here?, we've been searching this place for half a day and we still can't find any. Are you sure you got the right information? ". It was a cold voice which gave the chills.
"It can't be. I remember seeing shrubs of the plant, that's why I casted an eradication art to hide it. The voice that answered was sharp.
Ade's eyes were bloodshot he knew he had to escape or fight if needed be. His entire body glowed madly with a blood red light. His entire body kept trembling. As the blood moved around his body, his heart pounded faster and faster as if it was going to break his chest. Without waiting to get used to his new body, he ran at a speed faster than he previously could, and his speed had increased by at least one fold. In a blink of the eye he disappeared.
When he arrived outside, it was raining heavily. It was already dusk.
"One of them is at the second stage at the earth solidification realm..... the other at the first level". Ade's eyes were bloodshot and cold. No matter how strong his enemies were, Ade knew if he could not escape he had to fight he just the latter because he wanted just see how strong his body had evolved. He suddenly felt a strong urge to kill!
Ade would have to be dead if they did not die by his hands. He did not hesitate, he ran forward at full speed. The two men were from a different tribe which had an enmity with the Oyo tribe, so when they spotted Ade they hunted him down. Ade's eyes darkened he continued to run at full speed and maximized his body's full potential. The two people were heavily built and they looked strong. The man on the left was wearing a thin piece of hide even though the weather was very cold. His upper body was bare. There was a white mist coming of his body as if he was dispersing the cold with the energy emitted from his bhere".
Ade only cast him a glance before focusing on the other person. The men from dark swamp tribe were not at all worried about Ade. In their view the difference between their power was to big. After all Ade was the one being chased so he didn't pose a threat.
"Bola I will kill him. Wait here". As he spoke, the big man closed the gap between him and Ade in just a few breaths. Tsaka, the other man, did not object. He knew he was slower and weaker than his companion. The man was getting nearer to Ade. Very soon there was not even 1000ft between them.
800ft, 700ft, 600ft and then 500f! He let out a roar as he grinned fiercely. At that moment the man grabbed a spear from his back and threw it with all his strength at Ade. A sharp and piercing sound sliced through the air. Ade felt a sharp and deadly aura coming straight at him. He saw the incoming spear and he stepped aside. The spear flew past and just missed him by a hairs breadth.
"Die! " the man raised his right hand and took out a dark blade. Just as he was about hitting Ade, Ade disappeared like a flash of lightening. And appeared at his back.
The man laughed. He took the spear in his right hand and threw it to Ade again. Ade scuffed and he let out a huge blast of heavenly aura from his body. It quickly surrounded him like a mist. As the spear approached him, it scattered like dust and was sucked in by the mist.
"Your cultivation path is different, yet do you think you are my opponent? ". The man took a leap towards Ade.
Ade's face was pale but he held his ground. There were no traces of anxiety within his eyes, to his surprise he was inhumanly calm.
"I will tear your head off from your shoulders! ". The man roared. Unknown to him Ade could see his movements like the back of his hand because of his newly acquired blessing.
As for Tsaka, he grinned and licked his lips where he stood. He loved watching bloody scenes. They served to make him feel excited.
Just as the man was about to take another step, Ade approached him. His eyes were cold and calm. He then used his fist to face the man. Which stunned the man because Ade had been in the defensive.
The two hadn't yet analyzed or realized Ade's abilities. He could absorb ones life force.
"You asked for it! ". The man continued closing their distance. The man gathered all the power of his Qi in his right fist and swung it against Ade's head. If he had hit it, Ade would have undoubtedly died.
But right at that moment, Ade lifted his head. The coldness in his eyes was gone and in its place was a terrifying killing intent. The strong desire to kill even stunned the man.
It was already late, just as Ade lifted his head, he swung his fist which was glowing. As the fist came in contact with the man, the man trembled slightly but there was no blood curdling screams, no struggle. Right before Ade's eyes he turned into dust and was absorbed into his fist.
The sudden turn of events stunned Tsaka, who was watching in horror. Then he saw Ade turn and look at him with godly eyes, Tsaka felt cold. He watched as the boy sped towards him.
