Chapter 226: Leaving the Continent
Chapter 226: Leaving the Continent
Ella's attacks continued to grow stronger and faster to the point that Lex had to start using most of his power to keep up and the strength of her body, considering he had never seen her train physically, was unbelievable and not far from his own.
[She must have some incredible methods that cultivate both externally and internally, just like my Elemental Ascension Cultivation Method. But I am sure that mine is still superior and nothing else in the universe can compete with it] thought Lex to himself as he jumped backwards and created distance between himself and Ella.
"This is starting to get boring. Why don't you show me what else you got, as in close combat, you are not on my level" stated Lex who still wasn't able to go all out despite the massive improvements in Ella's body.
"He, fighting with my body alone isn't my strong suit and I thought I would go easy on you, but it seems I need to teach you a lesson," she said as she appeared behind him and launched a powerful fist towards the back of his head.
Lex didn't even need to turn around and caught the fist that was about to hit the back of his head, then grabbed onto her arm and threw her over his shoulder.
Ella was about to be slammed onto the ground, but she suddenly disappeared again and her control over the Spacial Element surpassed that of Lex's massively, since Lex was practising and mastering the use of so many elements and abilities.
In his left eye, Lex activated the Perceptive Eye that would boost his reflexes and enhance his perceptivity, which would be very useful against Ella who could switch between spaces and appear and disappear as she pleased.
While in his right eye, Lex activated the Self-Cloning Eye and formed four clones that had equal power to himself and relayed to each of them a different Eye Power, making them all extremely powerful and capable, just like he was.
"We all have the same mind and thoughts. Work together as a team and support each other" said Lex as he also made his expression cold and distant to appear the same as his emotionless clones.
There were 5 identical figures and each of them had mysterious eyes that were unusual colours and released a profound and powerful aura.
They were all shirtless and revealed their chiselled muscles and heavily trained body that seemed to have no flaws.
Ella began using all kinds of techniques and abilities against Lex, while Lex handled them with his clones and most of the time, didn't even have to fight since his clones were more than capable of taking on Ella.
Neither of them wanted to go completely all-out and unleash their most powerful skills and abilities, so eventually, they reached a stalemate and after an hour of battling each other, despite being high level cultivators, they were both tired and had used a lot of energy.
Panting on the ground and drenched in sweat, Lex uttered, "That was fun", as he smiled at Ella who sat opposite him.
Their battle took them across the continent and although they tried to minimise the damage they caused, there were large craters found everywhere and both of them had enjoyed the battle and had a better idea of how capable each other were.
"If you were to go all out, do you think you would beat me" asked Lex.
"I'm not sure. Depends on how angry you are and whether that Eye Demon lends you its power. With that flame of yours and all your Eye Powers, you sure are one difficult opponent" answered Ella honestly.
She had never expected that despite Lex being on the Lower Plains, he could still acquire such great power and abilities that even those in the Immortal Plain wouldn't be able to acquire.
"Does that mean...." hinted Lex with a cheeky smile.
"Yes," she said while blushing before disappearing from where she sat.
Lex began to laugh and knew that she would return in a few minutes after she calmed down and was no longer embarrassed.
After she returned, they released the rest of the day, in which, Lex was flirting with and teasing her throughout.
Their worries and problems had been placed at the back of their minds as they enjoyed each other's company and relaxed, but they knew that trouble would be coming their way once they left the continent and they had to be mentally prepared for it.
After Angela had consolidated and improved her cultivation as much as she could using her breakthrough to push her cultivation level as much as she could, they were prepared to set off.
Most if not all of the knowledge and information that the content had, was stored within Lex's mind or the system, while in terms of items, there wasn't anything of great use.
Food wasn't an issue to them with all the beast meat that Lex had within his inventory and there wasn't much else that they needed from the continent for their journey, so without delaying it any longer, they set off.
Lex already knew which direction to set off in after doing some research and confirming with the system.
They were to depart to the north of the continent and as long as they continued heading north, they would go deeper and deeper into the Lower Plains.
The closer to the centre of the Lower Plains that they got, the denser the energy would be, meaning there would be more treasures and that there would also be more powerful cultivators to face.
Three young, powerful cultivators stood on the shore of the northern continent and most wouldn't dare to even approach the shore because of the dangerous and numerous beasts in the water, and yet they were all calm and confident.
One was dressed in white, one was dressed in blue and the other in silver, while they all had reminiscent expressions and thought about everything that they had been through up until that point.
