Re: Lightning Beast

Sage Mode, is an empowered state that can be achieved by blending chakra and natural energy to create senjutsu chakra and entering Sage Transformation. This technique not only hard to learn because required extreme chakra level, but also dangerous because just a little mistake can turn the user into stone.

But, all of that was easily solved by Ren, because he is a cultivator. For him who cultivate using Profound Energy, absorbing and controlling Natural Energy was as easy as breathing for him. Because Natural Energy was basically Profound Energy in this world.

Using synergy between Physical Energy, Mental Energy, and Natural Energy as his main focus of cultivation, his foundation is firmer than anyone else. His body affecting his mind, his mind control the natural energy, and the natural energy improved his body. With this positive cycle, he can improve himself endlessly.

What gave him a challenge was how for him to learn chakra. After studying it for years, now he already mastered it. Using Jutsu and Chakra as a reference, Ren created his own Profound Arts based on his affinity, Lightning element. Substituting Chakra and Jutsu with Profound Energy and Profound Skills. Now he only uses his chakra to enter 'Sage Mode'.

For him, using Profound Energy is easier and less dangerous than Chakra. Unlike Chakra, he wouldn't die if his Profound Energy depleted.

"Wasteland of Death, this place is really deserved its name." Panting heavily, Ren was leaning on his spear. His body was soaked in sweat, exhaustion can be seen on his face.

"Beast horde in a thousand was a normal thing, even a bunch of greedy peoples courting death can be seen often." Looking at the countless corpses scattering around him, he can only smile helplessly. Not only from Profound Beasts but also from human cultivators.

After resting for a while, he continued his journey to enter deeper. Even though he knows that Earth Profound beast region already this dangerous enough, but only at this degree wasn't enough for him to temper himself. Even though he only walk carelessly, numerous beast fleeing directly after seeing him. His dangerous aura alone was enough to warn them.

"Compared to my life a month ago, that time really was heaven." Remembering how his lifestyle before in the Floating Cloud City, he can only miss it dearly. Forget about cultivating, Ren and Xia Qingyue only spend their time like an ordinary mortal.

After spending one month with Xia Qingyue on their honeymoon, they continued their journey in cultivation. Xia Qingyue goes to the Frozen Cloud Asgard with her master, while he himself headed to Wasteland of Death. Two weeks later, he arrived at this place and spending another two weeks to hone back his skill.

Opening his system interface, he is searching for an item in the Shop Tab. After finding it, he directly chooses to purchase it, not bothering that it cost him a whole 2 million points. Appeared in front of him was a fist-sized ordinary white stone. But, what appeared in the description make him confused.

[Fate Heroes Inheritance]

[A key to access countless Legendary Heroes Inheritance from Earth. For those who want to surpass their limit, and bring glory to their life. But to inherit their legacies isn't easy either. You need to be tested in a trial, while those mighty figures watch it from their Throne of Heroes. After that, if they judged that you're worthy, they would give their invitation. You can only choose one of them.]

[Trial of Fate]

[Accept?]

This question makes him hesitated. Not only that the trial was unknown, but even after he finished it there's no guarantee that he can be accepted. He chooses this item because he knows that it was somehow connected with Nasuverse. Just imagining their Noble Phantasm was enough to impress him in awe.

After thinking for a while he chooses to accept it decisively. Because overthinking about it would lead him to nowhere. Suddenly, he can see that numerous dots of lights generated around him, blocking his sight in the end.

Slowly opening his eyes he can fell that the surrounding environment was changed.

"Just… what!?" Opening his eyes widely, shock can be seen in his eyes. What he saw was completely different scenery. A desolate place with barren lands and clouded sky. Nothing else can be seen until the end of the horizon. Just looking at this place was enough to make people become depressed.

Suddenly the atmosphere was changing. The wind becomes chaotic, The sky darkens, lightning and thunder striking unceasingly. Above the sky, countless space rift opened. Just like a nightmare, the countless monster-like creature emerged from it. Dropping like rain. Beast, Demon, and Dragon-like creatures can be seen clearly.

"This is a joke right?" Ren asked himself in disbelieve. He can feel that his body drenched in cold sweat and alarm was ringing loudly in his mind.

"Let's check it first." Forcefully calming his mind, he activated his 'Sage Mode' to perceive his surroundings clearly. But what he got make chill running down in his spine. Million of horde come endlessly, approaching him.

"This joke is too much." Smiling helplessly, he first deactivates his Sage Mode to conserve energy. His eyes turned sharp and slowly, his fear was replaced by excitement.

Gripping his spear tightly, he readied himself in a stance. Finding that he can't run or hide anywhere he chooses to take initiative. Suddenly, he charges forward like a bolt of lightning. His spear easily severed the heads of goblin-like creatures from their bodies. Still only using his physical strength alone.

Not stopping at all, his spear continued dancing like a gale, bringing a storm to open this chaotic battle. With every thrust, his spear pierced his enemies' hearts, a slash was enough to sever their head, and every time he rotates his spear perfectly, a fountain of blood emerged.

Quickly, the mountain of corpse emerged. Goblin, Orc, Werewolf, and Zombie can be seen among them. But no matter how many he kills, his enemies still come endlessly and becoming stronger as time progress.

Using his Observation Haki, he can sense and control his battle perfectly. Avoiding surrounded by stronger enemies, he used the mountain corpse to hinder their movement.

Some of their sneak attacks were easily dodged or blocked by his spear and armor coated in Armament Haki. When his spear wasn't enough to pierce their defense, coating it with Armament Haki was enough to cut them like butter.

Facing nastier opponents like a swarm of poisonous bugs and intangible wraith-like creature, used his Lightning Release with Armament Haki to obliterate them completely.

It was really hard for them to even hit him and to defend against his attack. Especially with his remarkable speed because of his mastery over Body Flicker, Breath of Lightning and Lightning Release.

He evaded some gargoyle attacks that tried to bombard him using fireballs from the sky. While his right hand is busy to defend against the vampire's attack with his spear, he created Chidori on his left hand and throw it to them. The Chidori flying in the air, piercing their bodies easily like a bolt of lightning.

Suddenly he jumps highly, avoiding a sneak attack from the ground. Worm-like creatures can be seen wriggling madly with their razor-like a tooth. Using Raikiri, he created an AOE attack that ravaged everything near him. All of the worms was sliced to pieces by a dozen arc of lightning.

Suddenly, the Undeads joined the fray. If he saw a lich among the enemies, he would immediately cut them down. Because their abilities to create undead army and curse spells were enough to give him a headache. Especially their energy drain.

"Kugghhh!!"

After dodging a berserk werewolf attack, a dragon suddenly slapped him down with its tail. Creating crater when he lands. Not wanting to wait for him, demonic like creatures showering him with their spells immediately after.

"Coughh… cough… I was careless."

Getting up slowly, his pitiful figure can be seen coughing blood. His body is full of injuries. Even though his techniques were excellent, but that still wasn't enough to make him invincible. His enemies aren't weak either, their attack doesn't joke. Especially with their ridiculous number. While the weaker ones hold him back, the stronger enemies were waiting for an opening. Even though that their battle was ravaged this place badly, until the mountain of corpse and pool of blood was formed, he still can't see the end of this.

Gritting his teeth, he picked up his broken spear. It was already split in half because of the attacks from Dullahan. Coated it in lightning, he threw it toward the demons. Like a bolt of lightning, it was impalling one of them. But the spear was exploded afterward.

"Let's going all out!" Grinning madly, he coated his body in Haki and lightning. His body color turned black while shimmering in metallic color. Arc of blue lightning can be seen surrounding his body. Not just only that, he also activated his 'Sage Mode'. This not only increases his regenerative ability massively but also his combat ability.

With a powerful leap, he breaks the ground apart, going straight for the dragon. Seeing his intention, the wyverns tried to intercept him.

"GO AWAY!!!" Shouting furiously, he clapped his hand strongly. It created a shockwave that strong enough to blown them away. Centered around him, an invisible force suddenly spread to the entire battlefield. Just like a puppet that their string has been cut off, all of the weaker enemies were dropping down one by one.

"HAHAHA!!!" Not caring about anything, while laughing madly he continued to beat that poor dragon. Every strike was strong enough to produce a thunderclap from his attack.

Suddenly, the rain started pouring hard. The sight of lightning and the sound of thunder was what filled the entire battlefield. Ren continued his battle, not caring about his acc.u.mulating injuries at all. If he needs a weapon he would just steal from his enemies. If it broke he would just change it again.

After an unknown amount of time passed, there are only two figures can be seen battling against each other. Ren can be seen dodged his enemy attack strenuously. His whole body was drenched in blood, exhaustion can be seen clearly from his face. His haki and senjutsu chakra have been depleted. Only some arc of lightning on his two broken spears that can be seen occasionally.

His enemy was a Titan. With a height of 100m, he was really a monster to behold. Every step he takes the ground was crackled and trembled. Every attack he makes was enough to destroy the surrounding with just the shockwave alone.

But what makes Ren frustrated was its regenerative ability. No matter what he does, that monster can heal himself immediately as nothing has happened. Even if he cut his limb, break his neck, cut his head, pierce his head, nothing work at all.

"Pant… Pant… This monster… ordinary physical attack isn't working at all. I don't have enough energy to create a large scale attack." Panting heavily, Ren was trying to find how to solve bastard.

'Think again, it's impossible for him to have no weakness.' Thinking furiously, his body has been reaching the limit.

'Kuuhhh… All of his injuries healed immediately. If I still have enough energy I will attack his body repeatedly. If I know some fire techniques, I would have been tried to roast him already. But it would be difficult because of the rain.' Every time he dodged an attack, his body was screaming in pain. It's because he ignores it that he can still move miraculously.

"Wait… Roast? Rain?"

"HAHAHAHA!!!" Suddenly Ren laughs maniacally. Using his speed, he tried to make a distance for them.

"Let me show you the wrath of nature." Grinning madly, he controlled his breath carefully and channeled lightning to his hand.

"Come!" Ren provoked that titan fearlessly while raising his hand. Suddenly, the sky becomes chaotic, all of the lightning in the sky gathered, creating a shape of a majestic mythical beast.

"ROOAAARRRR!!!!" Responded furiously, he runs to his direction.

"It has been too late. Now, begone with thunderclap. KIRIN!!!!"

"RROOoOOOAAAARRRR!!!!

*zzzzZZzzZZz-PANG!

*BOOOOMMMMM!!!

Suddenly, the sky and earth were connected. Pillar of lightning with enormous size descended in the place of that titan before. Destroying everything in its path, that pillar of light stayed for a few seconds. After that, what remains is only a humongous hole in which no one knows how deep it was.

"Beautiful." Ren looking it in awe.

Seeing that grand scene, his mind was blank for a second. After that, his power quickly left his body. Before falling unconscious, what he noticed was the scattered cloud and a mysterious gate that suddenly appeared in the sky.
