[Later]

With everything in his Sky Poison Pearl, Jean left the Blue Wind Imperial City. And then, Little Fairy's cold voice resounded behind him.

Little Fairy: Why did you make such a sudden decision?

Jean: It's not really sudden, I always thought about leaving, I just wanted to get strong enough before doing so, and right now I am.

Little Fairy: Then, where have you decided to go?

Jean: The place where rampant profound beasts live like c.o.c.kroaches. The Wasteland of Death.

Little Fairy: What? You're actually going there to train? That place has been termed as the heaven for profound beasts, and the hell for practitioners. Countless of practitioners die in there every year.

Jean: If you were in my place, you would see that as your paradise… If I told about it to Senior Sister, she would not sleep the night. 'I will abuse the shit out of Overkill…'

[13:11]

[23/7/1995]

[V: "Vanishing Point"]

Jean: Finally! I f.u.c.k.i.n.g miss my Dodge Tomahawk!

Little Fairy: You want to remain here for the next 7 months?

Jean: Yup, there is no training place better than this. I also want to know how deep I can venture into this place of death that causes everyone's expressions to change the moment it is mentioned. For safety, take this.

Then he gave a piece of paper to Little Fairy, she curiously took it and read it.

"Stay here"

Her eyebrows furrowed and asked Jean for an explanation.

Jean: I have a special power… Until midnight be sure to have that in your hand. 'I can't risk her to forget about me while I use the 3rd version…'

Little Fairy remembered when his body regenerated like nothing and he grew bigger, and knowing him, he will not explain anything else. So she just left since she sensed people coming nearby.

?: This young brother, are you alone?

Jean turned around and saw a small group of a dozen or so people looking at him. But before they could ask more, Jean used the 3rd Version immediately, vanishing from the entire universe.

?: Huh? Who were we talking to?

??: I don't know… Let's go.

Meanwhile, in the Sky Poison Pearl.

Jasmine: ...Why is the Sky Poison Pearl moving? Oh right… Someone… must have used "Vanishing Point".

She tried to remember who it was, but nothing came in her mind except for the power used.

Outside…

Little Fairy's eyes widened for a moment, realizing that she was at the Wasteland of Death, she tried to remember the reason, before she felt something in her hand and read the letter, confused, she did as the letter said until Jean turned visible again.

At this time, everyone remembered about his existence, Little Fairy's eyes widened in shock, realizing that she just forgot about him just as he vanished.

Then she saw him running away, since even the group of before remembered him, he didn't want to cause any problem with anyone unless they want something from him, in that case, he would just assault them.

Soon, Jean, who was still walking, suddenly stopped in his tracks and looked at right, there was a single Wild Wolf who jumped at him. Jean just swung his arm and the wolf's neck broke.

After this wolf died, 10 more came out and assaulted him. As calm as ever, Jean swung his limbs and shot out Phoenix Flames, reducing their bodies to ashes, after that, Jean walked deeper into the Wasteland of Death.

He encountered some groups, but he just gave them the middle finger before leaving, seriously, it was annoying… Oh, look, bandits.

?: Hahaha, look what have we found.

??: Leader, look at his left hand! It's really a purple spatial ring!

???: Rich! We've struck gold! Once we kill him, we'll have enough to live free and unfettered lives for the better half of the year! Hahahaha!

Jean carried a purple spatial ring because it is a good bait for bandits, and it works! Now he has people at the Spirit Profound Realm that he can kill!

Jean didn't say anything and just walked towards them, one of them, who was at the late True Profound Realm, laughed and immediately slashed Jean, but he used the 2nd Version to turn intangible and coming out untouched from the attack… What? He didn't want to dirt on his clothes.

The moment the sword was out from his body, he turned tangible again and slammed his palm on his face, sending him fly away with a cracked skull.

?: He killed One Eyed Dragon!

??: You bastard!

Jean: Huh… I have Deja Vu… Whatever, Empyrean Dance of the Phoenix Wing.

Jean jumped in air and his figure was engulfed in flames, taking the shape of the phoenix, that silhouette then rushed down and crashed against the group of bandits, creating a concentrated explosion around 5 meters of radius, killing a few of bandits while others were still alive.

However, it didn't ended there, a ball of flames was created the next moment, and under the radius of 100 meters, everything was engulfed in a giant lotus made of more than one hundred petals, reducing everything nearby in ashes.

This was the Star Scorching Demon Lotus, both of them were 100% original, everything thanks to the "Knowledge", that helped Jean cultivate the two stages skipping the other previous 4 and use them at their 100% without any problem.

He came out from the crater he caused and looked around, everyone was dead. Jean cleaned off the dust from his hands and left from the place.

Little Fairy's voice came from the unknown again, and asked.

Little Fairy: Not only do you not hesitate in killing, your expression did not change either…. Have you killed many in the past?

Jean: ...Enough of them… So? 'If I had a Purple Profound Coin for every person I killed in my second life, I could have bought Xiao Sect…'

Little Fairy: I was just curious… And what was that power? You turned intangible before the blade could hit you. You seem like you could survive alone for the entire year here, why do you need my help?

Jean: I will not say anything about my powers, except that they have some conditions before being activated. I'll continue forward.

Little Fairy didn't say anything and just watched Jean fighting more beasts as he kept on… Even 10 Ironback Blue Wolves, who had the strength of a Cultivator of the 1st Spirit Profound Realm, were no match for him…

Jasmine: ...Why are the profound beasts in the Wasteland of Death so concentrated?

Jean: ...Could it be that there is another legacy like the Phoenix's one?

Jasmine: Heh, it may be possible, but don't hope much for it.

?: Caaaaww!!

The cry of an hawk came from above his head and his eyes turned up, in that moment, his mouth showed a grin.

Jean: The Fierce Storm Hawk…

Amongst profound beasts, the Fierce Storm Hawk's strength was akin to that of a practitioner at the second level of the Spirit Profound Realm. However, its strongest aspect wasn't its aggressive nature but rather its air dominating abilities.

Whether its flight speed or altitude, no other creature could best it even in the Spirit Profound domain, or even the Earth Profound and Sky Profound domains. Basically, one of the best Spirit Profound Beasts he encountered until now for fighting.

When Jean had discovered the Fierce Storm Hawk, it was gliding, and it was gliding slowly. However, just when it was flying above Yun Che, its gigantic frame suddenly slanted and it fell abruptly as two frightening talons came clawing straight over.

Jean materialized his heavy sword and swung at the beast, sending it flipping in the air for a few seconds. Then the Fierce Storm Hawk gave a long cry that was brimming with outrage as it locked its hawk eyes onto Jean.

The flapping of both of its wings gave rise to a whirlwind that completely enveloped Jean as it also personally swooped down like lightning with its talons aimed at his c.h.e.s.t.

The blades of wind that came straight at him slashed many gashes in Jean's clothes, but were unable to harm his body. He neither dodged nor tried to avoid it and welcomed the whirlwind with an explosive strike of his sword…

However, he underestimated the Fierce Storm Hawk's speed, and this was in addition to the stifling of the storm. When this blow exploded, the Fierce Storm Hawk's talons were already close to his c.h.e.s.t. The glittering talons were even already pierced into his clothes…

*BANG*

The Overlord's Colossal Sword heavily smashed onto the Fierce Storm Hawk's large body; the smash caused it to cry out in agony.

It was sent flying while tumbling in midair with immense speed, and it was only after tumbling out for a few tens of loops and almost hitting the ground did it barely manage to stabilize its body in levitation.

This one vicious blow was enough to strike fear into the Fierce Storm Hawk's heart. After swaying in midair for a long while, it finally regained its balance and flew off into the distance, not daring to attack Jean again.

Jean: Welp, i hoped for it to die...

Jean looked down and saw that his clothes were ruined, so he immediately took other clothes and changed, the moment he finished changing his clothes, he frowned. As fast as lightning, he reached his hand out to check at his own neck, and all at once, his expression turned pitch black.

Jean: F.u.c.k that bird's whore mother! That mentally special piece of crap took my pendant!
