"Just….what the hell is it now?"
A mix of dread and frustration filled Kali's tone. Both emotions perfectly combined together for this current situation.
It was honestly bewildering for Kali. In her Royal Palace, she was exposed to all different qualities of energy, whether it was the lowest or highest tier. Even with her weak Spirit Sense, she could identify various forms of Qi Energy.
And in the Heaven-Sky Planet, she could immediately differentiate the lower form of Qi Energy, much to her displeasure.
So far, she believed she had a fine grasp of identifying Qi energy sources available to her.
But that all changed within this very moment. This sudden wave of Qi Energy was nearly alien to her. The only remotely similar sensation she perceived was a faint trace of the Aura of life.
And whatever this Aura of life was, certainly wasn't weak at all.
Frustration over a growing sense of helplessness and dread over a looming threat that can potentially kill them.
All of this furiously fueled Kali's drive to hasten her cultivation if they could even make out of this stone chamber.
At the same time, Amber had fallen entirely silent. Her Spirit Senses were on alert as she linked with her Qi Seed.
Within moments, Profound Qi circulated throughout her entire body, pushing her into a battle-ready state at any time.
This was but one of the many critical differences between the Nascent Formation realm and Profound Soul Realm.
A fully form Qi Seed can gush abundance waves of power in mere moments. While Nascent Formation cultivators needed to cultivate their way to this point, meaning their gathering of Qi Energy was far slower.
There were exceptions to this rule, such as immensely talented elites or very rare and insane exceptions such as Cain or Kali.
Energy continued to surge in the chamber, rapidly climbing until distinct Auras started gushing out.
These Aura's cultivation realm quickly soared, breaking right past the Spirit Opening Realm, Nascent Formation Realm, and settling right in the Profound Soul Realm!
Soon enough, these Auras reached Mid-Stage Profound Soul.
As their Auras stopped, four distinct energy signatures began to rapidly form.
'Mn? Is this life? No… .it's too tainted and vague. And yet….I can feel some sort of consciousness within them?'
Amber calmly analyzed the ongoing events. Her gaze was sharp like a hawk, focusing square on a visible mass of energy just meters in front of her.
The mass energy was ominously black and quickly formed together, transforming into a human-like being.
Within merely two seconds, the black abundance of energy finished its transformation.
Standing dozens of meters away from Amber was a being made up of only energy!
Amber felt genuine shock run through her veins. Was there really such an ability to form sentient life through nothing but energy?
And not only that, give this sentient of life instant cultivation?!
Cultivation may not interest Amber much, but she had no choice to admit his ability was truly divine.
Even Kali couldn't suppress surprise from plastering on her face. She felt like this couldn't be the work of a simple peak Lower Realm cultivation but an actual expert in the Divine Realm of cultivation!
Not only was there one sentient of life, three other exact identical energy signatures formed at the same time.
And the shock didn't just end there.
These four life's sentients slowly extend their arms forward, gathering even more black-colored energy. With a dull sound, the life's sentients spawned a black energy broad sword!
Then, a dreadful Killing Intent rolled out the life's sentients like crashing waves, rolling out through the entire chamber before locking square on Cain, Kali, and Amber!
The life sentients barely had any consciousness, yet they were formed enough to instinctively kill all those who dare to come here!
"Damnit….would that even help here?" Kali grew serious as she thought out loud.
Her Dragon Roar was only useful in scaring off Vicious Beasts; it held no real power behind it. And now facing four Mid-Stage Profound Soul experts, she didn't know how they would persist.
In direct contrast to Kali's growing anxiety, Amber was deathly calmed.
She slowly stood up, bearing the full brunt of the numerous Killing Intent, and spoke without turning her head back.
"Don't worry, this won't take long at all. Compared to facing 8 Mid-Stage and 4 Early Stage Demonic Orge, this is child plays." Her tone was ice-cold, yet her words were incredibly boastful.
A thick layer of Killing Intent laced her voice, giving it an edge that Amber had never used before.
This sudden change caught Kali entirely off-guard. The difference between this and her usual self was too extreme to even compare!
Furthermore, her boastful words shook Kali to her core. She knows Amber's talented for Mortal standards, but to actually this degree? It sounds nearly unbelievable.
As Kali was lost in thought, a tremendously vast amount of energy surged vigorously from Amber's body.
A pool of dark black energy engulfed Amber's body for a moment, shocking Kali and causing the four life sentients to freeze in their steps.
In this instance, Amber's whole Aura transformed. Her prowess amplified by several degrees, reaching far beyond the limits of her base form.
This change was one of, if not the most critical differences in the Profound Soul Realm.
This was the ability to transform into a Soul Form!
The Soul Form is the dormant power that lies deep within one's Soul's Core. And once a cultivator reaches the Profound Soul Realm, they would finally have full access to this immense surge of power!
Transforming into her soul form only lasted for a mere moment.
Afterward, the dark pool of energy dispersed, revealing Amber's glorious new form. Her beauty, her Aura, her presence, her prowess, all transformed to otherworldly heights!
Kali, someone whose arrogance was the utmost of high because of her God Galaxy origin, was entirely entranced.
Amber's radiant silver hair transitions into a luminous dark black color that seems to carry an ethereal glow. Faint dark-color streaks flashed out of her gorgeous abyss-like hair.
Two large wings that appeared highly similar to bats extended out from Amber's back for around five feet and were fully unfurled. At the center of her forehead, a twinkling white star full of a Holy brilliance formed.
Her eyes as well shined a harsh crimson light that was like the pit of hell.
The power exuding from Amber was simply incredible.
This was the might of her Soul Form! A Soul Form whose ranking far surpassed the most talented of Crimson Sea Academy geniuses and even those in her entirety High-Class Family!
Kali had no idea about rankings of Soul Form. Nor did she know just how special Amber was.
Hell, she couldn't even directly stare into Amber's face. The mere crimson light from her eyes was too powerful for her.
Being in her vicinity as well was challenging because of her powerful Aura's suppression.
But before Kali could even think to move Cain and herself away, a gut-wrenching noise blared into her ears.
'Chiii~!'
Kali snapped her gaze over to what sounded like flesh getting brutally torn off. Her pupils slightly dilated when seeing that several shadow energy tendrils tore right through one of the life's sentiences.
The life's sentience may be at the cultivation level as Amber, but the difference in combat prowess couldn't be compared.
The life's sentience's protective Aura and internal energy were shredded like fragile paper.
With its whole entire upper body ripped into, the life's sentience dispersed into tiny wisps of dark black energy before vanishing into nothingness.
After her first kill, Amber immediately attacked again!
She turned into a black trail of light, rushing straight towards another life's sentience without any fear.
Her speed had reached unimaginable levels; the other three life's sentience had no way to react to this.
When Amber was just a few feet apart from the life's sentience, her claw-like hands thrust straight towards its faceless head.
The life's sentience could rely purely on its base instincts, swiping out its energy sword in a fraction of a second. Blacklight converged on its sword, spreading out a torrent of great energy.
However, this speed was still too slow for Amber. To her, the life sentience was moving in slow motion!
She moved like she was walking on air, smoothly dodging the hasty energy sword and clamped down on the life's sentience head.
An protective energy burst from the life's sentience, attempting to ward off Amber's deadly claws. Light black sparks streaked the air as the life sentience's energy crashed against Ambers's.
This was was a clash between two Mid-Sage Profound Soul experts. And yet, the disparity was far too broad.
The energy from the life's senteince's energy was nothing but a pebble dropped into a vast ocean.
Instantly, Amber's claw-like hands shredded the protective energy like it was tofu and slammed right down on the life's sentience head.
'Chiii~!'
With another horrifying sound of flesh ripping off, Amber tore the life's sentience head right off!
As soon as Amber finished this one-off, she swirled around to her next target. But right at that moment, she detected a surge of energy rising out of the last two life's sentience.
In the same instance, the life's sentience swung their energy swords down, releasing dark color sword lights straight at Amber.
Black energy plunged the entire chamber into a pit of darkness. Streaks of blacklight recklessly sway in all directions, tearing the wall and ground. Deep cracks formed upon everything the blacklights crashed upon.
"Shit!"
Kali hastily covered Cain's body and formed an energy barrier around them. She could only hope her luck of not getting hit by a stray blacklight lasted long.
Facing this impressive dual attack, Amber's expression didn't even twitch. Waving her hand, she instantly formed a giant vortex of swirling shadow energy.
As the dark color sword lights reached Amber's shadow energy, the expected reaction didn't occur.
No large explosions or aftershocks shook the room. Instead, the dark color sword lights had absorbed right inside Amber's swirling shadow energy vortex!
This was the play of her Innate bloodline abilities.
Just like how she could absorb properties of Lightning Energy for cultivation, she could also absorb pure Qi energy attacks to boost her own strength!
A great rush of energy enhanced Amber's prowess. Then, clenching her hand, the swirling shadow energy vortex burst out two shadow tendrils, each heading directly for the remaining life's sentience.
'Chii~!'
Dark color energy sprayed like blood as the shadow tendrils tore their heads into bits and pieces.
With their heads destroyed, the last two life's sentience bodies soon burst apart into wisps of dark-colored energies.
In that instance, Amber immediately reverted her Soul Form, transforming back into her base state.
All of Amber's overwhelming momentum suddenly cut off within a moment.
As of now, Amber's face was slightly pale, and beads of sweat rolled down her face. She was taking slight pants, evidently worked out.
But, when danger was done with, Amber cared little about her own state, her gaze immediately settling back on Cain's unconscious form.
