Capítulo 82: Chapter 82: Formation Complete

It's been a few months since Comet told me his 'secret', and even with Idonea closely observing him, I haven't learned anything that could prove he lied to me. While I may be confident that he lied, everything he said could theoretically happen to someone, though it would be incredibly rare.

Every now and then, I would secretly check on Comet. In doing so, one time, I happened to come across the scene of Idonea luring Saint realm beasts towards Comet whenever he visited the nearby forest, causing him to nearly die on several occasions. It was pretty amusing, to be honest, but I had to warn Idonea not to accidentally kill him because if he had truly lied to me, I'd be the one to kill him.

I'm also close to advancing to the Divine realm; merely a week or two more of cultivation, and I'll be fully prepared. Speaking of prepared, currently, I'm floating above the Colossal Sect about to test out the formation the old Demon I'd abducted a few months ago had completed.

"Did you install the spirit stone I gave you into the formation?" Asked Elif as he looked down at the Colossal Sect that was currently surrounded by an ethereal dome.

"Yes, Prince Elif, everything is ready to go." Answered the Old Demon, greed almost leaking out his eyes as he remembered the power the spirit stone contained.

"Good, now let's see how powerful this so-called defensive energy formation really is." Muttered Elif with a slight smirk while lifting his hand into the air and forming a Royal Elf's Palm.

As this was the first attack, I made sure to hold my strength back and only used roughly ten percent; still, the attack was more powerful than any being in this realm. Once I was ready, I launched the purple palm towards the Sect below.

It was just another day for the disciples of the Colossal Sect, everyone doing their own things; however, contrary to what most believed, today wouldn't be a typical day like any other.

"Hey, did you hear the news? The Sect master's daughter is engaged?" Said a random Inner-sect disciple while walking throughout the sect.

"WHAT!? You must be joking. There is no way the Sect master's daughter is engaged. Have you seen how cold she is to any man that tries approaching her? Even the most talented Core-Sect disciple and youngest Elder, Jalen, didn't manage to break her Icy temperament." Retorted another random Inner-sect disciple.

"You don't have to believe me, man, but it's true. Although the person she's engaged to isn't well known, I heard rumors that he's already broken through to the Saint realm, the same as the young mistress, yet he is only twenty years old!" Exclaimed the first disciple.

"Hmph, now I know you're lying; even the young mistress only became a Saint after the age of thirty-five. Over my dead body-" Said the second disciple, though when he noticed his friend was no longer walking beside him, he turned around only to see him fearfully looking up at the sky.

"Hmm, why are you looking at the sky?" Asked the second disciple as he also looked up at the sky, though when he did, he saw a giant purple palm radiating an unfathomable amount of power.

"Are we going to die?" Asked the first disciple, his voice filled with fear as the surrounding disciple began noticing the purple palms' presence before they descended into mayhem.

___

"Hm? Not even a single scratch after receiving the attack; not bad. Now, let's test its limits." Muttered Elif as he began manifesting another purple palm, except this time, it was twice as strong as the first one.

When the second attack collided with the barrier, I could sense that the entire realm slightly shook from the collision, and while I did manage to form a crack in the barrier, it was so small and shallow that it nearly instantly healed.

'I'm honestly slightly impressed that someone in this tiny realm was capable of engraving a formation that could withstand twenty percent of my power, even if a God-tier spirit stone is powering it.' Thought Elif as he once again began manifesting another purple, this time using forty percent of his strength in this attack, nearly half of his full power.

Just the presence alone of the purple palm hovering in the air caused the surroundings to shake violently while tears in space spontaneously appeared. Launching the attack towards the Sect, I sensed how the moment the palm collided with the dome, the entire realm shook from the collision while a massive tear in space appeared just above the sect, yet to my surprise, the dome was still standing, albeit in terrible condition. However, I could sense the formation was rapidly recovering, and after about a full minute, it was as good as new; no one would even be able to tell that I had just attacked the Sect, well, if it wasn't for the massive tear in space above the Sect.

"I must say, you've done much better than I had expected; I would need to use about half of my strength to destroy this formation completely. Now then, I believe you deserve a reward of equal value for your efforts." Said Elif, eyeing the old Demon before teleporting them to the throne room as he sat on the throne.

"You flatter me, Prince Elif. However, speaking of rewards, I already got something in mind; I just hope what I ask for isn't too much." Said the Old Demon subserviently while greed practically poured out of his eyes.

"I can assure you, there is nothing you could've thought of that would be too much." Said Elif, knowing that even the concept of Saint items is considered mythical in this realm.

"Hearing your words reassures me. Well then, I would like to request an item that contains a full-strength attack from you, Prince Elif." Said the old Demon, greed, and venom lacing his voice.

"Now, I wasn't expecting that, though I can't say it's necessarily a bad request. With how greedy you are, I was expecting cultivation resources." Commented Elif with a raised eyebrow while looking down at the old Demon.

"Hehe, I can not deny that I am a greedy old man; however, I am a demon, so I do wish for my race to prosper, and with a full-power attack from a being such as yourself, it would serve as a great deterrent against any invaders. In fact, If you didn't inform me of other Demons still alive, I would've asked for cultivation resources, Prince Elif." Said the old Demon, reminiscing about the days before the Great War.

Nodding at the old Demon, I summoned a hollow crystal ball from my dimension ring and began pouring my Qi into it; only when it was on the verge of exploding did I finally stop. Holding the crystal ball in my hand, I looked at the purple Qi floating within before tossing it toward the Demon.

"There you go, your reward. However, the power in that attack isn't something you should think about casually using; it has the power to obliterate one-third of the entire realm once unleashed." Advised Elif when he saw how the old Demon looked at the crystal ball.

"O-One-third!? I-I understand, Prince Elif, and I'm truly grateful for such a gift." Said the Demon as he carefully and fearfully held the crystal ball.

"Idonea."

"Yes, your highness." Said Idonea, kneeling before Elif after appearing out of nowhere.

"Accompany him to the location of the hidden Demon Village. I'd hate it if he died and someone got their hands on the crystal ball containing such power." Said Elif, evoking surprise from the Demon.

"I understand, your highness. Come with me, Demon."

"Y-Yes, Ms. Idonea." Said the Demon after giving Elif a final deep bow before following behind Idonea.

Once they left the room, I was quickly overcome by boredom, something I'd gotten used to, having spent nearly five months in this accursed realm, and when I was about to cultivate, I suddenly sensed a change in the vast tear in space that is currently above the sect. Curious, I went to go and check it out, and when I arrived, I sensed a small pathway had formed. To where? I don't know. But while closely inspecting the path, I sensed a person walking inside the pathway, and what surprised me was said person didn't have an ounce of cultivation.

'What fool thought it would be a good idea to enter a portal without cultivation?' Thought Elif, the question quickly answering itself as coming out of the portal was another human woman.

"Where-AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Said the human woman wearing weird clothes before suddenly falling as she couldn't fly.

Looking down at the falling woman, I contemplated whether I should save her, and eventually, my curiosity won, so with a sigh, I appeared right next to her and levitated her with my Qi.

"Stop yelling, women; you're no longer falling." Said Elif, folding his arms, already slightly regretting his decision to save her.

"Huh? Am I not dead? Wait, I'm flying!? Hahaha, I'm alive, and I'm flying! Did I awaken some superpower after nearly dying!? Well, who cares? All that matters is that I'm alive!" Exclaimed the woman in joyful tears, only noticing Elif after she calmed down.

"My goodness, such a beautiful girl! I've never seen such a heavenly girl. I think I have become lesbian." Muttered the woman with red checks as she observed Elif.

"Have you humans never seen an Elf before? I'm a man! I swear the next person who mistakes me for being a woman!" Said Elif while rubbing his head in irritation.

"You're a man!? That's even better! But you look rather young, well that's fine, all I have to do is wait for a few years, and everything will be legal. WAIT! Did you say Elf!?" Said the women happily before finally realizing what Elif had said.
