The rise of the pervert primordial-Chapter 680: The fight for the main distortion (part 8)
"Humph!", Felicia looked with disdain at the life-saving treasure which was still active even though the one it should have defended was dead, to then retrieve her arm which was perfectly untainted since her soul condensed gauntlets and intent extended the size of her spirit weapon, preventing any blood from reaching her pretty hands.
'It's better than what I expected, but it still requires too much spirit energy and stamina to use this on others', thought Felicia as she used a small black portal to steal the spatial rings the dead enemies, except the one that died mangled by the orange whirlpool, because she had already taken it earlier.
Then a playful smile flourished on Felicia's face as she used her soul energy to attract the still ongoing purple poison barrier in which the corpse of the leading elder was trapped towards the corpse of the male peak elder.
"Hsssss!", the result was that the corpse of the peak male elder turned into a black puddle in a couple of seconds, but naturally Felicia wasn't as bored as to seek entertainment through seeing corpses being dissolved.
The reason as to why she was laughing to herself was that when the body of the peak stage male elder made contact with the purple poison barrier, the life-saving treasure shot an incredibly hard to notice "mark" at the corpse of the elder.
It was basically a way to track the one who killed the owner of the life-saving treasure, sending their energy firm to the one who gave the treasure to the leading elder, and now that would be believed to have been the peak stage elder.

Of course, whether the other side fell for it or not was irrelevant, Felicia simply wanted to mess with the backer of the leading elder, also unlike the vast majority, those "tracking" functions didn't work on her, because her sensitivity for spirit energy was on a completely different level, she could even see through Lilia's real realm back when she was still at the earthly realms.
Felicia who was giggling to herself while imagining the face that the creator of the life-saving treasure, would make upon realizing that the one that "killed" the leading elder was his subordinate, returned to the real world due to a certain dragon youth's voice.
'I didn't think you were the "Heartbreaking" type', jokingly said Aster in a voice that only Felicia could hear, resulting in the playful mother merrily laughing in response.
'Everything for the sake of earning some points for Tia's rank on the "List of candidates" to go up~', she said, naturally she said "list of candidates" as in a list of candidates to become Aster's lover.
'Ahem, I don't remember having created something like that', said Aster with a bitter smile on his face, only for Felicia to playfully add.
'Heh, but didn't Camila graduate from the list not too long ago, don't tell me you are trying to dine and dash after taking Tia's precious first ever date~'.
Aster didn't know whether he should laugh or cry, even he didn't tease Tiana as much as Felicia did, on the other hand he knew how to handle Felicia after their last date, she is really, really competitive and hates to lose.
'Unfortunately, I can't give you too much credit, certainly your fight ended considerably fast, but you still only got the second place after Mira', he said, which immediately caused a reaction on Felicia.
'But I was the first of the three at the Mortal Transcending realm to finish her fight, that ligress shouldn't even be counted as a Sea of Knowledge realm cultivator anyway!', she exclaimed.
Though in her heart she knew Aster had already won the argument, because while her original intention was to finish the fight fast in an overwhelmingly way, she ended up getting caught in the fun of the battle and playing with her new toy, namely the spirit weapon that Aster created especially for her.
So, she extended the fight just a bit to enjoy her playtime more than needed, how so do you ask, well, she could have directly bypassed the poisonous seas of the five enemies using her portals to travel between two spots, like she did so when she dragged the early-stage elder into the orange whirlpool.
And while the cost for using her innate ability to become intangible and interact with other people's bodies, was quite high, she had enough soul energy and stamina to directly use it and crush the hearts, or brains of the five enemies without any problem.
They didn't have a treasure that was designed to protect their insides and if they used spirit energy to reinforce their bodies like body cultivators do, they will only speed up their demise, since the premise for Felicia's innate ability's new application was to drag herself into anything that contained spirit energy.
It would have been different if they were at least soul cultivators, since Felicia and Tianna's innate abilities work with soul energy and stamina as it's related to their body constitutions, it can be disrupted or resisted with soul energy or aura but they didn't know it, so the result of their fight was set in stone from the very beginning, not like Felicia needed to resort to her innate ability to win, but by doing so she could one-sidely crush them.
'Perhaps, but I seem to remember a certain someone using her soul energy to drag the long-range attack to the shoulder of that elder, creating dissension on the team, not to mention marking that guy's face for a later "prank", the next time you shouldn't play with your "food" for too long', concluded Aster, making Felicia pout.
'Humph, if the redhead sisters or Tia go wild due to their lineage, they get praised, but if I get a bit "playful", I get punished, not fair!', she mumbled with a cute sulky expression on her face.
Leaving aside the fact that she was being a bit childish by comparing herself to Tiana and the three sisters, Felicia did have a point, Aster did notice the sudden change in her attitude through the fight not to mention that her heartbeat also accelerated quite a bit, she was having quite the blast playing with the enemies to then destroy them when she got bored of them.
'That was a bit, I don't want to imagine what the serious version is', thought Aster to himself, only for him to come out of his daze by Felicia adding.
'Besides it's not just my fault, the "toy" you gifted me was really fun to use…', to which Aster chuckled as he said.
'Well, if that's the case I should cancel the new project I had in mind for your next gift, what a shame, I really wanted to test the second version of those gauntlets with you later'.
Felicia's eyes glowed like lamps for a second before she said.
'If you give more fun toys to play with, I'll make sure that Tia uses a cute frilly dress for her next date, of course I'll join to prevent a certain dragon from being enthralled by Tia's cute side'.
As usual, Felicia didn't hesitate to throw her daughter into the "lion's den", or more accurately a dragon's one, for the right reasons of course, also she quite hit the bullseye with that one, since Aster was indeed interested in seeing Tiana at least not using her armored attire for their next date.
'Deal', and with that Tiana's fate was sealed without she even knowing that she had been "sold" by her mother, she did feel a chill running down her spine out of nowhere, but unfortunately couldn't pinpoint the origin of the weird premonition that hit her like a bolt out of the blue.
'Fufu, I'll look forward to it~', having gotten what she wanted and forgetting about her original goal, Felicia happily returned to the observing area, since she felt Mira's energy firm coming from there.
…
Leaving that little episode aside the other girl's fights had started at some point, not too long before Mira and Felicia finished theirs, but to see the whole scene we must go back in time for a few minutes.
At a completely opposite direction from where the ligress girl and the playful mother had their battles, another confrontation was taking place.
One that involved a group of five people wearing mostly brown attires, looking at a certain auburn-haired girl with disdain, to then change their focus to a light gray-haired girl.
"Since your teammate has such a low secondary path realm, we'll give you a chance, you two can fight together against the five of us, I'll promise those guys won't interfere nor will we try to separate you, what do you say?", said the peak stage Sea of Knowledge realm elder from the Mountain Amber family who tried to directly attack Aster but was stopped by Mira, earlier.
To which the light gray-haired Alexandra, casually answered.
"I say that it's amusing that the guys throwing the name of the Mountain Amber family at every chance all fall under the same description, bigger in number, higher in terms of realm, annoyingly arrogant and they all end up pathetically begging for mercy later on, like dog like owner I guess".
"What did you say!", exclaimed the other peak stage Sea of Knowledge elder from group of the the Mountain Amber family, a middle-aged man with a stocky built, just like the group that went after Mira and Felicia, the group from the Mountain Amber family was composed fully of Sea of Knowledge realm elders, five of them to be exact.
The only difference is that there were only two peak stage ones and the rest were early-stage ones, the reason for this is pretty simple, the elders from the Mountain Amber family that were sent were mostly Genesis Manifestation realm and above.
And among the few Sea of Knowledge realm ones, the middle stage ones that came alongside the group of the Mountain Amber family are either part of the non-combatant staff like the ones that are nursing Bradley, or they are subordinated to Fawn who adamantly refused to sent them to the "slaughterhouse".
So ultimately, they had to send three early stage to make up for the numbers, but it turned out for the better since the opponents they had to deal with weren't even at the Sea of Knowledge with the exception of one that wasn't assigned to their group, something that didn't like the peak stage female elder, since her attack was blocked by that same person earlier.
"Why are you even talking to them, let's join hands and crush them together!", added the one leading the group from the Blazeheart family, an idea that the peak stage male elder from the Mountain Amber liked, unfortunately the one in charge is the female elder who directly lashed at the guys from the Blazeheart.
"Why, because you fools made it so the reputation of the Fey family was dragged throw the mud, also don't forget you were accepted to participate as "assistants" only, so wait for your instructions in silence", she said, which made the elders from the Blazeheart clench their fists at being treated like lackeys, but they didn't say anything about it.
"Now where were we… right, sorry to tell you but while we aren't direct descendants, all of us belong to secondary branches from the main families, so your "amazing feats" have never reached our ears, as we don't have anything to do with the lowly matters of middle ranked Stellar Systems", said the female peak stage elder to then add.
"But since it seems to be something you are so proud about, then let's do as follows, I'll fight you one on one, naturally you'll companion will have to do the same".
Just as Alexandra was about to refuse as she isn't the type to play around in a fight, Camilla who had remained silent so far, despite the clear disdain directed to her, took the initiative to accept.
"Deal", Alexandra turned to see the auburn-haired girl with a doubtful expression, but with a surprised light flashing through her eyes, she returned to her calm stance, to then nod in agreement.
"The negotiations are settled then, you, fight her", ordered the peak stage female elder to one of the elders from the Blazeheart family.
Surprisingly she chose the sole early-stage Sea of Knowledge realm elder, quite literally since the other four were actually peak Sea of Knowledge realm ones, unlike the Mountain Amber, the Redheart sent the newest batch that they had prepared to integrate into their faction at the Supreme Elemental sect.
So, they had fewer Mortal Transcending and early-stage Sea of Knowledge elders, and more peak stage ones and above in their group, of course that didn't mean they were stronger than the Mountain Amber group, otherwise they wouldn't be forced to obediently listen to their instructions to "make up" for the losing deal they made them suffer earlier.
"Fine", feeling ashamed of being bossed around by an outsider, the elder from the Blazeheart complied, leaving his group to face with the auburn-haired girl.
"And now… let's see what the bitches that surround the Lord of the Twin Sword Valley are like!", shouted the peak stage female elder as she exploded in dark brown spirit energy to then flash towards Alexandra.
"Humph!", the light gray-haired girl snorted, her light gray spirit energy enveloped her body as she flew at the enemy.
Contrary to what one would expect, the first exchange between Alexandra and the enemy, wasn't a physical one, despite them having what are considered the toughest attributes of all, in other words earth and metal oriented ones, what clashed right now was their spirit energies alone.
"Boooom!", that didn't prevent for a huge shockwave to me produced due to the impact, fierce gusts of wind born out of the point of contact, before a winner was decided, Alexandra was… pushed backwards a few dozens of meters.
'That's more like it, we'll make sure to wash away the humiliation that the young master suffered at the hands of the Lord of the Twin Sword Valley with the blood of his close ones, so that no one dares to question the greatness of the Mountain Amber family!', inwardly swore the peak stage female elder as she chased after Alexandra.
Seeing the one on one confrontation on the other side starting, the early-stage elder from the Blazeheart reluctantly decided to get this over with, only to see that the auburn-haired girl who was about to fight him, didn't seem to be worried in the slightest, in fact, she… was looking at him with disdain.
Now add that to the fact that earlier the representative from the Iron Hall insulted them and the natural enmity between metal attributed cultivators, like Camilla and fire attributed cultivators like the early stage elder and you get an enraged enemy.
"How dares a mere middle stage Mortal Trasncended with a miserable Earth Origin realm secondary path, have such a condescending expression, I have already been accepted as a deacon at the Supreme Elemental sect!", he roared to then explode in dark orange flames.
"Blazing Path!", with a couple of words, the enemy turned into a fiery blur that then appeared in front of Camila.
'It's a shame that the sole advantage you might have had over me, which is the fact that you are a soul path cultivator while I'm a main body one, is useless because my secondary path is also the soul one, go die!', inwardly screamed the early stage Blazeheart elder.
Naturally as a main body path cultivator, he was going to pummel the auburn-haired girl into a bloody pulp, he looked down on the current realm of Camilla's secondary path, ignoring the fact that she reached the Earthly realms on in… a matter of months, but let's leave that surprise for latter, for now the elder was taken aback as he saw the opponent trying to meet his punch head on with one of her own.
"Dumb bitch, do you really think you are something…".
"Clang!", the disdainful words of the early-stage elder stuck in his throat as his fist clashed with the one of the enemy, producing a loud metal colliding sound, followed by an even more surprising thing, which was him being sent flying backwards, in other words, he lost in a strength competition as a main body path cultivator against a main energy one!
"No way!", exclaimed the early stage elder as he saw the hand with which he punched the enemy, trembling, now imagine his expression when Camilla casually added.
"Why are you so surprised, it's not even the first time you see a main path energy cultivator overwhelm a main body path one in a physical clash today, after all, Aster who destroyed let alone your disciples, but the ones from those arrogant guys from high ranked Stellar Systems is an energy/soul cultivator… like me", the first part of that sentence was full of fierceness, while the last few words, were basically mumbled by the treasure girl.
The one leading the group of the Blazeheart who frowned after seeing the result of his subordinate clashing with the auburn-haired girl, had his pupils contract like needles as he was reminded of some of newest pieces of intel he got before they sailed out to explore the distortions.
Which is the fact that among the many beauties that surround the Lord of the Twin Sword Valley, there appears to be one who apparently shares the same unknown lineage as him.
'Now that I think about it, earlier I saw a bright silver glow cover her hand when she clashed with elder Henders, while the Lord of the Twin Sword Valley has shown to use some sort of golden light to empower himself… damn it', concluded the leading elder of the Blazeheart.
"Henders, don't let your guard down, she is the one that has the same damn lineage as the Lord of the Twin Sword Valley", he shouted, which caused two different reactions, first and formal, the early-stage elder immediately put some distance between himself and Camila.
Then it was the auburn-haired girl's turn to be surprised at the fact that those guys knew about such a thing, back at the end of their date, some elders of the sect wanted Camila to reveal information about her lineage abilities, since it was a completely new one with no other known owners, so Aster casually tricked them into believing that he has the same one.
Well, it's not exactly a lie, since they do indeed share the Wolfstein lineage, but the ability that they were interested in was the one that allowed Camilla to enhance spirit treasures by bringing out their true potential using the silver liquid condensed inside her dantian due to her lineage's trait.
While Aster simply used the armor manifestation of the Paragon Body to trick them by taking advantage of the fact that his Wolfstein lineage has mixed with the Drage's one alongside the Paragon Body thanks to Aldebaran's power.
'Humph, it seems like some elders from the Red Sword faction need to have their tongues cut off, how dare they… divulgate my private life with Aster to others', cutely thought Camila with a reddish tone on her pretty face.
She didn't care about the fact that those guys informed their forces of origin of the suppositions they had about her lineage, what angered Camila was that the events of her date with Aster were leaked, after all it was at the end of that date that their relationship was confirmed so it was a really special memory for her.
In the middle of all this, a loud exploding sound and fierce waves of spirit energy could be heard and felt respectively, coming from afar, which interrupted the ongoing clash between Alexandra and the peak stage female elder from the Mountain Amber, as well as the temporary stall between Camilla and the early stage Blazeheart elder.
Naturally that energy waves and the explosion, were caused by the elders of the Pleasure Palace releasing their seas of knowledge and the ligress girl meeting them head on with just the spirit energy that naturally leaked out of her body when she was fighting.
But after a momentary interruption, the fights were about to resume, until a second explosion and energy waves reached the area, it's worth noticing that they were really far away from Mira and Felicia's battlefield, not to mention that Felicia is like the enemies the groups of elders from the Mountain Amber and Blazeheart families are facing, a Mortal Transcending realm cultivator.
'Why did those fools use their seas of knowledge so early into the fight against a Mortal Transceding realm enemy, damn idiots… ack!', the train of thought of the peak stage female elder was topped in cold by a pretty fist cladded in light gray spirit energy, punching her on the face.
She didn't retreat too much nor was she gravely wounded, however blood did flow out of her nose and her eyes got teary, after all tempering the face is not exactly something easy to do, as it is a soft and sensible area of the body, so the toughness there isn't usually as high as that of the rest for a body path cultivator.
"Even little girls know that they shouldn't get distracted in the middle of a fight, so why is a grown woman like you focusing in other things when there is an enemy in front of you", casually said Alexandra, referring to the "lessons" given by Aster to Kana earlier, which made the peak stage elder see red.
