Chapter 371 – Stop Them All
"Once there are only hybrids, no one will be different from each other, and thus no one will ever be shunned anymore. This world may not deserve what I do, but it needs to be done. I will become it's messiah," Jha'Akim said.
"You act like a victim in all of this, but fail to see that you are becoming the oppressor. You killed hundreds of thousands of beasts in revenge—"
"It's not about revenge anymore. I have had my fill of revenge. I've had enough time to realize that my days of revenge are over. What starts now are my days of bringing salvation to this planet," Jha'Akim said.
"By turning humans and beasts alike into Hybrids?" Ning asked. "I foiled your organizations and you killed the beasts. So there shouldn't be any way for you to make more hybrids."
"I've kept some reserves," Jha'Akim said. "Also, the hybrids don't necessarily have to be from beasts that contain the blood of the legendary beasts. I've prepared normal beasts' essence for this task as well."
"And you are sure you can turn all of the humans and beasts into hybrids? You do remember that even your own organization had a very high failure rate, right?" Ning asked.
"I do," Jha'Akim said. "But that is a sacrifice that I'm willing to make."
"You might say that, but I won't let you," Ning said. "I'm going to keep fighting with you until you're either dead or imprisoned once more. None of this hybrid nonsense."
"If you wish to, you may fight me," Jha'Akim said as he snickered a little. "But I was never planning to do any of what I said anyway."
"What? But you just said…" Ning was confused.
"Hehehe, let me say it again. 'I' was never planning to do any of it," Jha'Akim said with a wicked smile.
Ning's brain churned and his eyes opened wide. "Your perfected hybrids," Ning said with shock.
"I have my people working for me, so I won't have to do anything myself. You are a step slow already, my friend. The moment I escaped, the clock already started ticking. In less than 3 hours, it should be done," Jha'Akim said.
"Until then, you can stay and keep talking, or you can go and try stopping my people."
Jha'Akim kept on laughing as he flew down to the center of the island and sat next to the lake while Ning kept on flying in the air, trying to think of some solutions.
"The hybrids, I need information about the hybrids," he thought. Jha'Akim thought his plan was almost guaranteed because there was no way for Ning to find and stop the hybrids in any way.
Little did he know that such information were very easy for Ning to find.
"System, give me a list of all the hybrids that work for Jha'Akim, alongside their current location," He said. He took one last glance at Jha'Akim before teleporting out.
He needed to take care of the matter at hand before he came back for him again.
A list of information, alongside an approximate location of where the hybrids were popped into Ning's head.
"Oh no," he thought as he saw nearly hundreds of names on the list and they were all over the planet.
"I have to start somewhere," he thought and teleported to the first location on the list. When he reappeared, he was on top of one of the forests.
"This is the southern continent?" Ning wondered and looked around, searching for the hybrids.
He was in an approximate location from the hybrid and had to ask the system to locate the person once more.
When the system did, he teleported once more. The next time he reappeared he was about a few kilometers away from his original location, directly face to face with a girl that was flying through the air.
She saw Ning appear out of thin air and was surprised. "Who are you? How did you… just now…" she asked.
Ning looked up and down at the normal-looking human girl. He couldn't see a single beastly feature in her anyway.
He quickly used omni analysis to confirm that she was in fact the hybrid he was looking for.
"But… you look like a human," Ning asked in confusion.
"I look like a human?" the girl asked with caution. "Why would you say that?"
"Because I know you're not one. You have the blood essence of the Lightning Panther and the Ice Vulture, and hundreds of other minor beasts from what I can see," Ning said.
"You, who are you?" the girl asked.
Ning didn't answer her. He didn't have the time to. He looked at her and searched for some sort of storage bag on her.
He noticed a few and pulled it towards him. The girl saw her storage bags rip away from inside her robes and fought to pull them back, but she couldn't stop it at all. Ning was just too strong.
Ning took the storage bag and started looking through it. He searched for any sort of medical equipment or artifacts that could be hiding some sort of mechanism to turn humans and beasts into hybrids.
It took him half a minute to look through it all, but he couldn't find any. "The hell, how is he planning on turning them into hybrids without anything to carry those many—" Ning's eyes went wide and he looked at the girl.
"Oops, was I caught?" she said with a grin.
"Don't—"
BOOM
The girl exploded her Nascent soul, turning the entire surrounding into a bloody mist. The hundreds of blood essence inside of her were now moving around, looking for something to inhabit.
"Shit!" Ning thought as every single droplet of the blood started approaching him. High in the air, he was the only person the blood essences flew towards.
Ning tried thinking of a way to stop it all, but it didn't seem like they could be stopped. Even when he made a barrier with his Qi, the blood essence easily penetrated through it all and came up to his body.
"Dammit!" he cried out.. He needed to think of something very fast.

Chapter 372 – Only Choice
Ning looked around at the bloody fog and tried to come up with some sort of idea. "Can I…?" he wondered something.
"No time to think about it."
He put his hands forth, touched the bloody fog, and started pulling in everything towards his hand. The bloody fog started spinning around his hands and slowly entered it.
It wasn't just the bloody fog that was entering his hands, but the air around it as well. He was directly collecting the entire atmosphere into his storage space.
Fortunately, his storage space stored items in it based on mass and not volume, so despite collecting so much of the surrounding air, he was still fine.
However, the problem he was now facing was that the fog was way too massive and it was taking him well over a minute to gather the entirety of the blood essence that was floating in the air.
'Dammit,' he thought. 'I can't do this with every single one of them, and I have less than 3 hours to get to them all. Even if I take a minute with finding every single one, it's not enough time.'
He needed to think of something else.
"Think! Think!" he started saying to himself to get new ideas.
"Can I throw them— No, their cultivation is too high. They won't be pulled as easily," Ning thought. "What about if I send them to the secret realms? no, that doesn't work either. There are bound to be a few people that can easily open up a gateway out of those secret realms. Since Jha'Akim is in Origin, I can't take them there either."
"I can't even feed them pills given how different their physiology would be," Ning thought.
"Dammit, the only way to stop them is to kill them before they can kill themselves, isn't it?" Ning thought. He tried thinking of other ways, but that seemed to be the only course of action he could take.
"Fuck it, let's do it," he thought. "System, the moment I teleport, immediately locate the person on the list."
Confirmed
And so, Ning teleported away. He was immediately relocated on top of a massive group of people in the middle of a market in a city.
Information immediately entered Ning's mind and he turned left. He could see an old man wearing a black robe walking amidst the many people.
The man seemed to have noticed Ning looking at him and turned around as well.
Ning didn't speak at all and immediately dashed towards the old man.
"What the?" the old man couldn't even finish his sentence before a blade cleanly cut off his head from his torso. In the next second, both the head and the body of the old man disappeared.
The second after that, Ning disappeared.
The people from the market cried out for a second when they saw someone die, but after realizing that neither the attacker nor the victim was present anymore, they started wondering if they were perhaps hallucinating.
Ning reappeared on top of a mountain in the southern continent and saw a middle-aged woman flying through the air at a brisk pace. After getting confirmation from the system that it was indeed her, Ning rushed up to the woman.
The woman had only turned around to see who it was when she too died. Ning recovered her body so as to not let a single drop of blood fall anywhere and teleported once more.
When he reappeared, he once again got information about the next person on the list. After killing that person and recovering their body, he left once more.
He did this a couple of times before he was starting to get the hang of it all.
"Who the hell do you think you are looking at, you bastard," a man shouted at Ning. Ning didn't take into mind his words and simply killed him.
It had only been a minute since he started finding these people, but he had already taken care of about 7 of them.
"If I keep this up, I can do this in less than an hour," Ning thought with a smile. This bit of information was slowly turning into a source of motivation for him.
Having been encouraged, he teleported once again. He looked around and the information about the next person entered his mind.
He turned to look at the person and stopped. "A child?" he thought. The person who seemed to be his next target was just a young man that looked like a teenager.
Ning hesitated to kill this child for a split second, and that was all it took for the tragedy to occur.
Before Ning could even realize it, the boy exploded his Nascent soul and his body turned into mist along with it. The nearby people also died along with him given that they were just some weak mortals or cultivators that were just into the range of an exploding Nascent soul cultivator.
"No!" Ning cried out and immediately rushed to the place and started taking in as much of the blood mist as he could. However, the deed was done. Whatever the young man had come to do, he had accomplished.
This was the middle of a marketplace, so the people who witnessed the explosions started screaming. People whose friends and family died in the explosion were crying and screaming in the terror they just witnessed.
However, that was just the beginning. Since they had breathed in the blood mist before Ning had taken care of it, it had entered the people's bloodstream by now. The people in the area started to involuntarily cough as intense pay appeared from deep inside of them.
Ning watched as hundreds of people started falling onto the ground, screaming in pain, forgetting the tragedy they just witnessed.
He could see the changes starting to appear in the people. Some of them were developing horns, and some were developing fangs.
Each one of them manifested some sort of change, but that change would then change to something else. The human body wouldn't be able to hold out against that many changes, especially given that some of them were directly from the legendary beasts as well.
Sooner or later, most of these people's bodies would give out, and they would die.
Report chapter
Chapter 373 – Lesser Of Two Evils
Everyone was on the ground. Everyone except Ning.
Be they old or young, man or woman, the tragedy befell all. Hundreds of people in the entire marketplace were starting to change.
Scales, fangs, horns, hooves, tusks, tails— All sorts of changes were appearing on the humans that were on the ground, screaming in pain.
Ning looked at them all with a pained expression. He wanted to help, but he had no idea what to do.
He had asked the system for help, but even helping individually would cost him a lot of energy. To save these many people, he didn't have enough.
Not only that, he needed to save the energy right now since he was low on it anyway. After making his body and creating a book for Ely, he had just a little more than a Trillion energy right now.
The screams got louder and many of the people couldn't hold out. The transformation they were going through was something so painful, that their mind would give up before their bodies could.
Even if they could hold out the pain, the changes would disrupt their Circulatory system, their nervous system, or just hard their bodies in other ways from both inside and outside.
A lot of these people were already starting to bleed on the inside and outside. Ning could see some people who were coughing up blood. Some were bleeding through all of their orifices.
Some had bones popping out of their chests from the changes and had died from that. Some had their bodies disfigured by the changes and could no longer even breathe.
Some were even opting to bash their own heads on the ground so that they could kill themselves and wouldn't have to go through this pain anymore.
Even if they didn't do that, all but a few of them were going to die anyway.
Ning was on the verge of crying from watching all of these people that he could possibly help but had chosen not to. Not because he didn't want to help, but because saving these would mean condemning almost all of the rest of the planet to a similar fate.
And that included people he loved and cared about.
"I'm sorry," Ning said to the people who couldn't hear him at all. "I failed you all. If I hadn't hesitated, you would've been fine. It's my fault, and for that I'm sorry."
Ning's face then changed from sadness to anger and determination. "But I promise you, I will take revenge in your stead," he said and disappeared.
He couldn't stay there anymore as this was a tragedy that was about to happen everywhere in the world. If he stayed here, he would have to give up on people who could still be saved, as opposed to these people who were already condemned to the worst possible scenario.
Ning regarded this move as extremely heartless, but even he needed to be one when the time called for it.
The next time he reappeared, he was once again in the midst of another large number of people. The people that were looking to explode themselves were going to do it in the midst of a great number of people.
So, if Ning ever teleported to someplace with people in it, he knew that he had almost no time to waste.
Thus, the moment he appeared here and learned who the person was, he immediately killed him and disappeared again.
He had changed from a person on a mission to save people to a person on a mission to take revenge for the people who were affected by it all.
One after another, the carriers of the many blood essences, the perfected Hybrid from what Jha'Akim called them, were all dying to Ning's blade without mercy.
Be in a man or a woman, an adult or a child, he no longer hesitated a single time. Before they could even know that Ning had teleported there, they would die by his blade.
Dozens of people died in the span of a few minutes.
He teleported once more and appeared inside another city with a large market. Except, he didn't get any information from the system.
Ning however heard the cries of pain from the people below him, surrounded by red fog.
He was a step too late. He looked at the people in the fog and could see that they were already in the process of being a hybrid, which meant they were most likely going to die.
Ning saw the fog spreading further from the marketplace and spreading around to the rest of the city where more and more people were starting to be affected.
At some point, the fog would dilute to the point where it would no longer have any effect on the people, but it didn't seem like that was going to happen soon.
At the very least, every single person in the city would for sure be affected by the blood mist.
"Shit!" Ning said out loud. He was about to float down to take away the blood fog, but he stopped.
He couldn't do that. He didn't have the time to do it at all. There were people here that he could still save, but he didn't have to luxury to do so.
He had to condemn perfectly fine people to the tragedy below him just because saving them would mean condemning billions of other people to a similar fate.
He had to make a choice, a painful choice, but he did it. He could either save these people and let hundreds of other cities suffer, or he could possibly save all those cities, but not this one.
Both of these choices felt very evil and heartless for him, but he did it. He chose the lesser of the two.
"RUN OUT OF THE CITY TO SAVE YOURSELF," Ning shouted from high in the air. Some heard him, some ignored him.
"Dammit!" Ning cried out and disappeared from the air the same way he had arrived, leaving the people in the city to possibly die, choosing to let them die.

Chapter 374 – Spear Domain
Ning went through many cities and places with a dense number of people and beasts, killing the people who were going to suicide amongst them.
He made sure that he didn't miss important places that held people he cared about. Places like Klavia, new klavia, Deepskull City, Seven Lights city, Broken Soul city, Five Professions academy, and a few other places.
Everywhere he went someone died. However, the longer he was taking, the more and more people had already killed themselves, dooming the entire city to go through the tragedy.
"System, update the list," Ning said emotionlessly. "If someone in the list is dead, get rid of them."
Confirmed
Ning's heart sank when he realized almost 12 names had disappeared amongst the 50 or so people that were still remaining in the list.
"I need to hurry," Ning thought and disappeared once more.
By the time he was done with the list, 3 more names disappeared from the list. In total, Ning had witnessed about 7 different cities with the bloody fog, and another 15 he never went to.
There were exactly 312 people on the list when he started, so by comparison, he had actually helped a lot. But the loss easily outweighed his heart and he started feeling guilty.
If only he had started a second sooner, or maybe not wasted a lot of time in the place where the first girl died. Maybe then he could have saved a lot more than he had.
"No, I can't think like that. What's done is done. Torturing myself with what I could've done is not something I can afford to do, not right now," he thought.
He had saved who he could, but the cost was a lot. Anger crept up inside of Ning and he disappeared once again.
When he reappeared, he was inside of the secret realm that held the Origin. He quickly searched below and saw Jha'Akim smiling to himself as he held his hand in a fist in front of him.
"You bastard," Ning shouted and disappeared once more before arriving right next to him, punching him directly in the face.
Jha'Akim didn't expect to be punched right now, so he took the full force of the attack without putting any guards up.
Jha'Akim flew through the air and went crashing through the side of a mountain.
"You bastard!" he cried once more. "Do you know how many people died because of you?"
"Ow," Jha'Akim said as he climbed out of the mountain. "Oh, you're back already. You said many people died? That's quite early. I would've expected them to take at least another 2 hours."
"Anyway, good job to those guys. They knew what they were in for, and they still did it," Jha'Akim said. "Well, at least now the whole world will change."
"Keep dreaming," Ning said. "Most of them died before they could even do anything. Only a few of them actually managed to do anything."
Jha'Akim's smile stopped and he put on a serious face. "That's not possible. They should have all been able to kill themselves. I especially chose people that didn't have anything to lose and made them sympathetic to my cause."
"Most of them were actually willing to kill themselves before the time was even right. They only waited because I told them the time was near," Jha'Akim said.
"Hmph! Any other person and you might have succeeded. Fortunately, I was there and I saved most of them. Here are your people who failed," Ning said as he dropped the many bodies onto the ground.
Jha'Akim's eyes went wide when he saw the many decapitated bodies fall onto the ground, with heads rolling down right by them.
He looked at a few faces and could see that some of them hadn't even realized that they were dead. He recognized many of the faces and was sure that they were the people he had prepared for his cause when he was just a clone.
"These… are my people. How did you kill everyone? They should've been all across the planet," Jha'Akim said with a wide face.
Ning took them all back into his space so that he didn't ruin the place with their blood. He also took back the blood that flowed on the ground.
Jha'Akim's eyes narrowed when he saw that. "Where and how are you keeping all of those bodies?" he asked.
"Like hell I am going to tell you. Besides, why would a man that is going to die need to know anything?" Ning asked.
"Hmph! You'll kill me? We'll see about that," Jha'Akim said and slowly flew through the air. The air around him distorted as massive amounts of Qi fluctuated around him.
Ning looked at him without fear as well. He brought out his black spear and got ready to fight. He took a deep breath and suddenly glints of light appeared around his spear.
Jha'Akim looked surprised when he saw that. "That's… not Qi, is it?" he asked.
The glints of light floating around Ning started to get denser and denser until they turned into genuine spears that floated around Ning.
The spears then started to uniformly spin around Ning, while at the same time expanding all around him, hitting anything that was within a certain range.
This was the first time Ning would have to fight seriously, and he was ready to do so. He didn't hold back any of his power and abilities and let it all show.
Going past Spear Intent and the Spear Qi that came after it, Ning was now establishing his Spear Domain.
Anything and everything that entered his spear domain would now be attacked with the flying, glowing spears.
Jha'Akim who was alive during a time where humans hadn't reached the pinnacle of what was possible in cultivation had never seen anyone use any forms of weapon intent.
Even during his times as the clone, he had only ever seen Weapon intents, and never any of its higher forms. So, he was genuinely confused and curious as to what he was seeing.
His inner beastly urges to fight, which he thought was gone, were starting to surface once more.

Chapter 375 – Mere Failed Attempts At Copying
An evil and maniacal smile appeared on Jha'Akim's face.
"Interesting, very interesting. I've only ever seen the intents, and while they were interesting, they didn't seem very strong," Jha'Akim said. "However, these look like something I will have a fun time fighting against."
Ning didn't say anything and simply dashed forward. The entire domain around him lagged just a fraction of a second behind him. So, even when he was right in front of Jha'Akim, the domain was not.
He slashed directly at Jha'Akim's head, but he blocked the attack by stopping the spear by the shaft.
However, just a split second later, the entire domain reached him and all of the spear intent that came with it started hitting Jha'Akim from every direction.
Jha'Akim constantly maneuvered himself to dodge the ethereal spears, but there were just too many of them flying at impossible speed for him to dodge.
So eventually he started getting hit by many of the spears in the domain. The damage he took was quite high, but not enough to truly hurt him.
They were more like mosquito stings that were annoying if the mosquitoes couldn't even be killed.
He tried to ignore the ethereal spears and attacked Ning directly, but the spears started getting in his way. Ning would also move away from him but stay in range for him to get hit by his flying spears.
"Dammit!" Jha'Akim cried out and immediately spread out his cultivation base to stop the spears from touching him. His aura created a layer around him that actively blocked all of the spears.
He was expending a lot of Qi, but he felt like it was worth it. After all, he wouldn't need much time to get it over with Ning.
Ning was surprised as well. "How is he able to stop my spears?" he wondered. He didn't remember Jha'Akim being that strong.
Before he could even think anything else, Jha'Akim rushed at him and directly punched Ning.
Ning brought up his spear to block and managed to stop Jha'Akim's punch with the shaft of his spear.
The power behind Jha'Akim's punch was absorbed by the black shaft of the spear and was ready to be repurposed at any moment.
Ning didn't waste any time and rushed forward to attack. However, just as Jha'Akim was about to block, he disappeared.
Jha'Akim was surprised and at the same felt a piercing pain rush through his back. He jumped forward and turned around to see Ning behind him.
"How did you get behind me?" he asked. He checked his back and saw a large in his cloth as well as blood leaking from the hole where he was stabbed with the spear.
Ning had attacked with all intents and purposes to directly pierce through his heart, however, because of how strong his defense was, Ning could go through it all.
Ning was surprised as well. 'I caught him off guard and he still survived?' he asked himself in surprise. 'Also, why does he feel stronger now than he was an hour ago?'
"How are you teleporting around everywhere? You killed my people from all over the globe too. Not to mention the fact that you can come in and out of such a special place like this. This is too weird," Jha'Akim said and fell into thought.
Then his eyes widened as a thought appeared and he looked up at Ning. "Could it be… that you have a system too?"
Ning was caught off guard by the question and unintentionally stopped his domain. His eyes widened as well when he heard that.
"So you do have it," Jha'Akim said. "To think that I would meet another person with a system in this place, what a coincidence."
"You have a system?" Ning asked.
"Of course I do. How would I have become this strong in such a shitty world without one?" he asked. "Tell me, when and how did you get your system. I'm really curious."
"Why should I answer you that? I'm going to kill you soon anyway," Ning said.
"Stop being angry for a second. Look at me. You killed so many of my people, yet I'm not angry at you for now. Just answer my damn question," Jha'Akim said.
Ning was angry, but that was soon overshadowed by his curiosity as well. "You tell me first then," Ning asked.
"I don't know," he said. "That's why I'm asking. Mine just popped up the day my mother died. Ever since then, I've been killing beasts trying to obtain their bloodline through their system."
"Speaking of which," Jha'Akim said as he looked at Ning weirdly. "Did you not gather any bloodline yourself? I don't sense anything in you."
"Why would I want to gain bloodlines of beasts?" Ning asked.
"Eh? Then isn't your system useless?" Jha'Akim asked.
"My system has nothing to do with beasts or bloodline," Ning said.
"Oh, then what does it have to do with?" Jha'Akim asked.
"Nothing that concerns you," Ning said.
"Tsk, it does concern me a little," Jha'Akim said as a sinister smile appeared on his face. "I can always steal your system."
"What?" Ning was surprised.
'System, can he steal the Energy system?' Ning asked.
Nobody can steal the Energy System
"Then why is he saying he can steal my system?" he asked.
Some of the systems allow their host to steal other people's systems
"What about the Energy system? Can I steal his system?" Ning asked in confusion.
There is no need to steal any system.
All systems are a mere failed attempt at copying the Energy system and failing miserably.
You already have the best of the best. You do not need trash, especially ones that do not abide by the laws of the universe
"What law of the universe? can you explain?" Ning asked.
Most system creators go above and beyond while trying to make a system and give it abilities to overcome the constraints of the physical world such as creating energy from nothing
The Creator despises these systems and their maker, so if you ever come across such, he requests that you destroy them

Chapter 376 – Teleport
"How does that work exactly— actually no, let's not worry about that right now. I need to kill this man for the tragedy he has caused today," Ning said to the system.
Ning concentrated again and brought back his Spear domain.
"You don't want to talk, do you?" Jha'Akim asked. "It's fine. That only means that I will get to have your system even sooner."
Ning didn't speak at all and kept his focus. Jha'Akim saw Ning's intention to fight and prepared himself. His body started changing as thick dragon scales appeared all over his body. There were also horns on top of his head that resembled that of a dragon.
At the same time, a gorgeous wing spread out wide behind him, not so different from those of a Roc's descendant beast.
Ning decided to go take the offensive for himself before Jha'Akim could do anything and teleported once more. That was the only way he knew how to take Jha'Akim off guard.
The moment Ning disappeared, Jha'Akim was surprised again. He hadn't expected him to teleport again, which he should have.
He felt movement in the air behind him and quickly ducked as a spearhead brushed past his horns. With the same momentum, he turned around and brought his dragon claws out to hit Ning.
However, Ning was no longer there. Another slash came at him from the front and it hit him directly on the head, sending him flying into another mountain once again.
Ning didn't stop however, He flew into the air and started sending out slashes after slashes towards Jha'Akim.
Dust rose as high as the mountain themselves, and the mountain where Jha'Akim had fallen into didn't even look like one anymore.
Ning stopped after a little while, clearly exhausted. He had done his hardest, holding nothing back in his attacks. However, he was still a little annoyed.
Such attacks weren't working.
The rubble started moving as a bleeding Jha'Akim walked out. There was a large open wound on his forehead and a few other scratches all over his body. However, none of them seemed to be a problem at all.
The wound on his forehead slowly moved as it healed itself. Jha'Akim rubbed that part and said, "You really do hit hard. If not for my scales, I would have probably been quite badly injured."
"Shit!" Ning said quietly. He was already unsure if he could win beforehand, and now that Jha'Akim had broken through to the 5th Spirit Transformation realm, he didn't have much chance.
"I will need to think of something," he thought while remaining vigilant.
"Your teleportation is annoying," Jha'Akim said and flapped his wings once. A massive gust of air rose around Jha'Akim as tornadoes started forming in the air.
Ning got more on guard and checked the tornadoes to be of some threat. They were moving very fast, but it didn't seem like they would do any damage at all.
Seeing that he didn't have to worry, he teleported once again. However, when he reappeared, he realized that Jha'Akim was a little further away from when he should have been.
At the same time, Jha'Akim made a backhanded attack at Ning behind him. Ning disappeared and appeared in front of Jha'Akim but he had moved once more.
He did the same thing a few more times, but every time Ning teleported, Jha'Akim would move just a little bit, but enough to dodge him.
"What's going on?" Ning wondered. He decided to ask the system. When Ning got the answer as to what was happening, he was a little surprised.
"He's using the power of the wind to move faster than he normally could? That's the power of the Roc, isn't it?" Ning thought to himself. "But how is he moving away in the right direction? Am I getting too predictable?"
Ning teleported once more, except this time he teleported high above. When he did that, Jha'Akim didn't move at all, and instead looked confused.
Ning teleported behind him once more and once again he was moving forward. Ning finally understood what was going on.
"He isn't dodging, is he? He is letting his beastly instincts do the work for him. That's why he set up these tornadoes. He wanted to make it easier on himself to move," Ning thought.
Ning stopped attacking. He wasn't going to get any hits in like this. The winds were also disrupting his spears in his domain from doing anything.
"I need to keep him from moving," Ning thought and disappeared once again. However, just as he did, he used Telekinesis to push on him.
When he reappeared, instead of moving away, Jha'Akim fell right at him spear. Ning thrust and pushed half of the spearhead into his chest. It wasn't going to be enough for him to die, however.
Jha'Akim moved forward and got away from Ning.
"Dammit! His defense is too high. I can't get my hits all the way in at all," Ning thought.
"You are quite strong," Jha'Akim said. "But you're not strong enough. While you may be more agile than me, I can reach your level soon as well."
"I just need to drink the blood of a few more high-level beasts," he said with a crazy smile. "Let's see… hmm… there seem to still be a few around the world. I should be able to kill them in a few days and then nobody will be able to stop me anymore."
"You are not going anywhere. I will fight you until you die," Ning said with a serious face.
"So either you die or I die, huh?" Jha'Akim asked.
"No, only you will die," Ning said with determination.
"Oh? We will see about that."
Suddenly, Jha'Akim disappeared from in front of Ning. Ning was about to look around when he noticed him reappear behind him.
Ning tried to move away but it was too late. A sharp claw pierced through his back and came out through his chest.
Jha'Akim's voice then came from behind him.. "It seems you forget that I can teleport as well."

Chapter 377 – Costly Healing
"I already let you know I could teleport and you still let your guard down," Jha'Akim said as he twisted his hands and pulled out some of Ning's organ.
Fortunately, he hadn't hit Ning's Sea of Qi, or heart, but he had pierced part of his lung and Ning could no longer breathe through one of the lungs.
"I told you I left a mark on this island, so I can teleport here anytime I want. How are you so stupid as to not realize that?" Jha'Akim started taunting him. "Although, your teleportation does feel different from mine given how often you do it."
"I wonder… do you actually not have the same system as mine?" Jha'Akim asked. "Time to figure it out."
He placed his bloody hands, with Ning's lungs clinging to his claws, on top of Ning's head.
He then closed his eyes and started doing something.
Ning was in his own little world, trying to do something as well. He had recognized the severity of the situation and knew that if he didn't do something fast, he would die right here, and then there would be nothing left that could stop him in this world.
"System, heal me," Ning said through his gasps.
Light shined through his body as his body started restoring itself. The missing lung as well as the other organs reappeared and the torn-up back started to heal.
However, at the last moment, it stopped. A small hole remained in his back that wasn't lethal in any way, but it still worried Ning.
"System? Why is it not fully healed?" he asked.
Host has run out of energy
"What?" Ning quickly opened his status and checked, and indeed, he was all out of energy.
Whatever remaining energy he had, he had spent it all just now to heal himself. The expenditure throughout today had been a lot, and before he had even realized it, he had lost it all.
"No!" he thought. This was the worst-case scenario. He remembered what had happened last time he was out of energy, the feeling of helplessness he had experienced when he couldn't save the life of the old man back in Vilmore.
He had tried his best to always have enough energy whenever he did something. That was why he had waited so many days even after having enough energy for his body. That was precisely for this very reason.
And yet, all the preparation didn't save him when the real threat arrived.
'Healing the body of a Spirit Transformation realm cultivator obviously would cost a lot of energy. How could I have been so stupid?' he started scolding himself, but not healing himself would've been even more devastating right now.
All of this happened in a matter of seconds it took for Jha'Akim to realize he couldn't steal Ning's system.
He let go of Ning and flew backward. The tornadoes had stopped by now and the calmness had returned.
Jha'Akim stood in that calmness, but his face was anything but that. Different forms of emotions rushed through him.
Expressions of confusion, anger, and denial were the most prevalent of the many he showed.
"What bullshit is this? Why can't I take your system?" Jha'Akim shouted. He then looked at Ning and saw that he was completely fine as well. "How the hell are you healed?"
He couldn't understand what was happening and that added to his annoyance.
Ning didn't waste any time and attacked once again. He couldn't teleport or use telekinesis anymore, but he was going to attack anyway since that was the only way to keep him here and not let him leave.
If he left and got the power-up he wanted, nothing in this world would be able to stop him.
"Let us fight, master," Blue shouted from inside of his beast space.
"We want to fight," Night shouted as well.
However, Ning didn't pay any heed to their demands. Given how weak they were, they would die in just a few bouts against Jha'Akim.
"Screw this, I will deal with you later," Jha'Akim said and disappeared. He had teleported out of the place.
"System, where did he go?" Ning asked.
Not enough Energy
"Dammit!" Ning cried out. "When is the next cap refresh?"
in 12 Minutes and 53 seconds
"Shit! What do I do?" Ning wondered. The 3 beasts kept on crying in his ear to let them out to help.
"Do you guys want to die?" Ning shouted at them. "You will only die if you try to fight him."
They stopped speaking after hearing him scold them. "Just sit tight, I will do something," Ning said as he furiously thought of ways to solve the problem.
He had about 12 minutes to collect about 1.2 Billion energy. That would be enough for him to go around the world multiple times, so teleportation wouldn't be a problem.
But with such a small amount of energy, he wouldn't be able to do anything else. He wanted to warn the people but—
"Wait," he said as he thought of something. "I can send information out, right?"
To only the three that have the talisman. You have already paid for the talisman, so communication is free
"Great," Ning thought and sent a message to Hyesi, Anya, and Ely, letting them know of the situation.
"Inikaka, where do you suppose he's going towards?" Hyesi asked him.
"I don't know. All I know is he doesn't know about the beasts in the tomb, that's all," Ning said.
"And you can't leave right now?" Anya asked.
"I can get out of this island if I want, but I won't be able to teleport, so I wouldn't be close to catching up to him even if I wanted to. Especially since he can teleport as well," Ning said.
"So he was the third System user, huh? Who would've thought?" Ely said.
"Seems like it," Ning responded.
"Alright, we'll see what we can do," All 3 of them replied.
"Remember, if you meet him, don't fight. His cultivation base alone is stronger than your body cultivation. Just let me know where he is and disrupt his plans for as long as you can," Ning said.
"Got it."
Chapter 378 – Suicide Is The Only Way
Ning didn't know what to think at the moment. He hoped to keep everyone away from the fight he had with Jha'Akim, but in doing so he could be dooming the entire world to a series of tragedies that included the people he was intending to keep away from him.
Hyesi, Anya, and Ely; he wanted none of these three to meet with Jha'Akim, but he desperately needed them to do exactly that.
His want and his need were the exact opposite, so it was getting too hard for him to wait any longer.
He only had to wait for 5 minutes longer, but the time it took felt forever to him. He felt stressed as he had never before.
He was not only worried about the 3, but he was also worried about what he would do after he was done gathering the energy.
He didn't have any idea how he could possibly beat someone that was so much stronger than him. The only way he could even see himself doing something like that was by…
"I see," he thought. "It's time to kill myself, isn't it?"
That was the only way he could do anything. If he killed himself, exploding his body and soul at the right time, he could catch Jha'Akim off-guard and quite possibly kill him too.
He got a little sad when he thought about it, but given that he had a new body waiting for him, he was determined to do so.
"Alright, I will do it," he said to himself with determination in his eyes. He waited a few more minutes and talked to Ely.
"Are you sure you will be fine without a body?" she asked. "What if something happens and you go into those years-long hibernations like you said you did the first time?"
"No, that won't happen," Ning said. "That only happens if I don't have enough mental strength to handle something. As far as I know, killing myself will induce a lot of mental pain, but not enough."
"If you are sure, then I'm okay with that as well. Since you have a new body, you will be fine," Ely said to him.
"Yes, I was thinking of the same thing," Ning said.
He told the idea to Anya and Hyesi as well while they were out searching for any hints of Jha'Akim.
"If that's a solution, master, then I don't see any problems with it. Although, are you sure he can't handle it? From what you said, his physical body is quite strong," Anya said.
"It's strong, but not as strong as mine. If I can catch him and explode on top of him, nothing of his should remain," Ning said.
"Well, you need to be absolutely sure, master. If you destroy your body and he still doesn't die, I don't know if we will be able to handle him," Anya said.
"Don't worry. I will ask the system if that is possible or not first," Ning said.
"Oh, that eases my heart a little," Anya said.
"Inikaka!" Hyesi called him.
"Yes?" Ning asked.
"How much longer do you have?" he asked.
Ning asked the system the time remaining and told him, "a little over 3 minutes remaining."
"Good, I will try to hold out for 3 minutes then," Hyesi said.
Ning's eyes suddenly changed to worry when he heard that. "Do you mean that he…"
"Yes, he's here, in front of me," Hyesi said.
"Are you sure?" Ning asked.
"White guy in a white robe with a massive wing behind him. Plus the aura he is giving off is impossible to miss," Hyesi said.
"Yes, that should be him," Ning said in a serious tone. "Listen, don't try to engage if possible, but… absolutely fight him if need be."
"I will do so, Inikaka," Hyesi said.
"Hyesi…" Ning said with a pause. "Please don't die."
"Haha, don't worry Inikaka, I will live longer than you."
Hyesi ended his communication with Ning and flew towards the figure he was looking at currently.
Jha'Akim too was curious and looked at Hyesi with some weird expressions.
"There are more Spirit Transformation realm people in this world now? Has the information about Origin become that readily available now?" he asked.
"Only Inikaka knows about it, but he shares the information with us," Hyesi said.
"Inikaka? What's that? Is that— Oh, it's the guy I just left, isn't it?" he asked. "How did you know I was coming here?"
"A coincidence, but it doesn't really matter right now. What matters is that I stop you from being any further nuisance to my Inikaka. For him, I will kill you now," Hyesi said and took off his clothes.
Despite being old, his body was in the best of shapes with his dark skin shining in the sunlight.
"Not only are you in Spirit Transformation realm, but your body is strong too, isn't it? But that doesn't mean you can win against me," Jha'Akim said. "I am in a bit of a hurry, so don't mind me if I don't stick around to entertain you."
Jha'Akim moved at incredible speed and appeared in front of Hyesi, catching him off guard. He punched Hyesi directly on his face and sent him flying away.
Hyesi flew back a couple of hundred meters before he stopped. A line of blood was dripping from the side of his lips. He moved his head to the side and spit out the blood in his mouth before wiping the remaining blood from his lips and chin.
"Is that it? I thought you were supposed to be stronger," Hyesi said. "I never thought the biggest and baddest person in the world would hit like a little girl.
"Ohoho! You've got quite a little mouth on you, don't you?" Jha'Akim said. "You want to see stronger punches? Fine, I shall answer your imploration."
Jha'Akim's muscle started spasming as it got bigger and bigger. it grew to be bigger than Hyesi's own thighs until it looked like the arms of a gorilla.
"You shall feel my true strength now then."

Chapter 379 – Got You, Bit*h
"Inikaka, please hurry up. This demon is truly very strong," Hyesi quietly sent a message to Ning.
"He's still there right?" Ning asked.
"Yes," Hyesi said. "I've managed to taunt him, but I don't know how much longer I can keep him here."
"Don't worry, just a little longer," Ning said.
Just as Ning finished saying that, Jha'Akim moved on to attack with his massive arms. Hyesi got alert and put his arms forth to stop him.
The punch landed directly on Hyesi's arms and he heard a crack as he was sent flying backward.
The small broken bone healed quite quickly, but it definitely hurt Hyesi a lot. However, he didn't let pain hold him back. He too moved forward and punched at Jha'Akim.
Hyesi was a little good with spears, knew quite a few skills and techniques, but nothing made him as comfortable while fighting as when he used his own body to do so.
He threw a right hook at Jha'Akim, who dodged the attack by ducking down. At the same time, Hyesi quickly brought back his punch and instead kicked his head from the bottom.
The kick landed directly on Jha'Akim's face and he was sent tumbling away. He recovered his balance, blood dripped from his nose which quickly healed.
"You're quite strong. Body-wise, you are even stronger than me," he said. "But physical strength is not all that makes you strong."
"Just admit that you are weak and you can use your techniques," Hyesi said.
"You!" Jha'Akim got angry. "You know what? Fine, I am weak. Now get ready to die."
Dragon scales appeared once more all around his body as eight different eyes popped upon his head. The wings behind him turned from one with feathers to one with a membrane, similar to that of a bat.
His eyes turned brown and turned into slits instead of being a normal pupil. Fur grew all over his body where the scales didn't show up. Sharp claws appeared from his paw-shaped hands that looked like those of a tiger.
His arms produced scythes of a mantis, and his tails turned to those of a scorpion. Growls escaped his throat as he started grinning at Hyesi.
He had turned himself into an amalgamation of many creatures, each with their own strength. He was about to give his all in this fight.
"You brought this on yourself."
Jha'Akim disappeared in a gust of wind, and when he reappeared, he was behind Hyesi.
He stabbed at Hyesi with his sharp claws, but Hyesi was quite fast too. He moved to the side to dodge, and the attack barely grazed him.
Hyesi flew a bit far and turned around, only to not see Jha'Akim there once again. His senses kicked in and he dropped down once more to dodge, but he wasn't able to this time.
A kick landed on his back and he was thrown quite far away. Hyesi turned around while being kicked away and saw Jha'Akim flying towards him with incredible speed.
He stopped himself and punched at him, but the strength was too much. He heard his bones creak when his fist met Jha'Akim's fist.
His arm was blown back and he lost his balance. Another fist came towards him and landed directly on his other arm, breaking it from the elbow as he was sent flying onto the ground.
Sands from the beaches rose to a height of at least a hundred meters as Hyesi fell directly on it.
Hyesi barely opened his eyes to see Jha'Akim flying down at him. He barely managed to roll to the side and dodge the attack.
"Tsk!" Jha'Akim clicked his tongue and walked towards Hyesi. Hyesi tried to stand up and move away, but Jha'Akim was too quick.
He appeared right above Hyesi and stepped down on his arms.
"Let's see how safe you feel when you no longer feel your arm," he said and started putting pressure on his left arm that was already twisting in the other way from the previous attack.
"ARGHH!!" Hyesi cried out, but Jha'Akim didn't stop. He stepped once more and completely destroyed all the nerves and meridians that were attacked to the left arm.
Jha'Akim then moved onto the right arm and did the same thing. Hyesi cried out even more as the pain became unbearable.
"Tsk! You cry like a little girl," Jha'Akim said.
"You… " Hyesi said as he gritted his teeth to stop his pain.
"Hmm," Jha'Akim stopped. "Me what?"
"You… You will never beat Inikaka," Hyesi said.
"That coward who didn't even dare follow me will beat me? Hahaha, you must have become an idiot after having both of your arms broken," Jha'Akim said with laughter in his voice.
"Don't worry though, I shall show you mercy so that others won't see this stupid side of yours," Jha'Akim said. He brought out his claws and made them sharper and longer.
"You shall become the very first Spirit Transformation realm foe I have ever killed. Goodbye," Jha'Akim said.
Suddenly, the lights all around him went away. He couldn't see anything, but he could still hear Hyesi grunting.
Jha'Akim didn't understand what brought on this darkness, but he didn't like what was happening.
He felt a gust of wind next to him and decided to not waste any more time and directly sent down his attack at where Hyesi was. His claws went through Hyesi's body and he felt the ground on the other side. He had completely pierced his body.
Just then, the sun returned and the darkness lifted. He looked around to see what was happening and noticed a massive black bird standing a little further away on the beach, along with a Blue flood dragon and a golden beetle.
He was excited to see such glorious beasts when he noticed something. Below the beast on the sand was a dark figure with broken arms. Hyesi was with them.
"Then who did i—" Jha'Akim looked down and his eyes went wide when he saw who it was.
Two arms moved forth and directly grabbed at Jha'Akim's arm, stopping it from leaving the body.
A cold smile appeared on Ning's face as he looked directly onto Jha'Akim's eight eyes.
"Got you, bitch."
and then they both disappeared.

Chapter 380 – The Calm
Ning reappeared high in the air, still holding on to Jha'Akim. He had confirmed with the system that exploding himself would definitely kill him, and that was all Ning needed to hear.
Jha'Akim's hand was still inside of Ning's stomach, but it didn't matter anymore. In fact, Ning pulled on his hand and brought himself closer to Jha'Akim.
"What are you doing?" Jha'Akim asked with fear in his eyes for the first time since Ning had met him.
"I'm killing you," Ning said.
"No, you ca—"
BOOM
A deafening explosion rang out high in the atmosphere, above the clouds. The shockwave parted the clouds very clearly and brought enough light through it to make people think that there was a second sun in the sky.
People from hundreds and thousands of kilometers away heard the explosion and felt the shockwave. The people from Klavia, especially Hyesi's family immediately rushed towards the location, knowing that their ancestor had left for there a while ago.
Hyesi and the 3 beasts were on the ground looking at the bright explosion, wondering what had happened to Ning.
"Inikaka!" Hyesi called him. He even sent a message to him, but they got no response at all. It was as if he had disappeared.
"No!" Hyesi had a very fierce sense of Deja Vu as he remembered something similar happening last time. During that time, his Inikaka had disappeared for many years and only returned afterward.
He didn't want that.
"Inikaka!" he started crying out again, giving no attention to either of his broken arms that weren't healing at all.
Suddenly, he felt something on his shoulder. He turned and saw a black wing on top of it. "He's fine, we can still sense him up there," Night said.
Blue and Aegis nodded when they heard that.
"Is he really?" Hyesi asked.
"I'm fine, Hyesi," Ning sent a message. "It's just this headache I have is really annoying."
"Oh, thank the sun he's okay," Hyesi finally felt relieved.
Suddenly, something appeared in front of Hyesi and a young body appeared, that looked exactly the same as the very first body he had seen being created all those many years ago.
"Inikaka?" he asked.
"Yes," Ning said as he took over his new body. "How does my new body look? You guys never got to see it, right?"
"It looks good, Inikaka," Hyesi said.
Soon, Hyesi's son and grandsons all appeared in the vicinity one by one and started worrying about him when they saw the state of his hands.
"Grandfather, Are you okay?" Hijaka asked.
"This is nothing," he said to them. "You should see the other guy. Oh, I guess you won't be able to anymore, haha."
"Ah, right," Ning thought and brought out a pill. "Take this. It doesn't work that well on someone in your realm but it should at least help a little."
Hyesi nodded and ate the pill. Immediately, his wounded arms started to heal and looked a lot better. His bones were still broken, but with his healing, they should be able to heal by themselves in just a few days or weeks.
Ning disappeared and reappeared a few seconds later. When he did, he had Anya and Ely with him.
"Senior Hyesi, are you alright?" Anya asked worriedly. She walked up and looked at his wound before bringing out a pill herself.
"It's fine. Inikaka already gave me a pill," he said.
"Oh, then I guess this won't be very useful," she said.
"Are you alright? How are you both feeling?" Ely asked them both.
"I'm perfectly fine, miss Ely. You don't have to worry about me," Hyesi said.
"I have a headache, but it should go away in just a few hours… or maybe not?" Ning said. "I forgot that my mental strength had now dropped quite a lot. It's not as good as what I had with my other body."
"You should be fine soon," Ely said.
"Alright, let me take Hyesi back. He needs to rest now. Afterward, I should go and let those beasts know that their threat is gon—"
"YOU THINK YOU CAN KILL ME?!"
A loud voice came from up in the sky. Ning looked in the direction the voice came from and barely saw a smidge flying high in the air.
However, the chilling voice was enough to give the person away.
"No…" he said silently. "How is he alive?" he couldn't help worry wonder in worry. System had clearly told him that he didn't have any chance of survival if Ning exploded himself, so why was he back.
"Ning, what's going on?" Ely asked.
"I don't know, let me ask the system," Ning said.
"YOU WILL DIE NOW," Jha'Akim shouted from high up top. The aura that came flooding down was enough to kill any mortal. Fortunately, both Ely and Anya stood in front of Ning, protecting him.
"System, why is he not dead?" Ning demanded an answer. This was the first time he had been given misinformation from the system and it was going to cost him a lot.
He did indeed die. However, his system forcefully brought him back from death.
This is a violation of the basic laws of the world. What is dead cannot return to the living. That system is Evil
"YOU MADE ME USE MY 'DEATH REJECTION' SKILL, FOR THAT YOU WILL ALL DIE NOW!" Jha'Akim raged in the air and immediately came flying down at super speed to kill Ning and the others.
Suddenly, a bunch of metal objects flew in the air. Some turned into shields, some into weapons. Some of the remaining ones turned into some very unorthodox shape and its work could only be known after it was used.
At the same time, a pure cultivation aura appeared from the side quickly rising up high. A sword appeared from nowhere as well and was readily wielded right there.
"Sit back and rest, Ning. We'll take it from here," Ely said.
"Don't worry, master.. I won't let him hurt you," Anya said.
