After discovering a spiritual fruit few days ago, they ate it and made their spiritual root gone up by one to three levels also increasing a bit of their potential and their cultivation levels. For this reason Orphius managed to breakthrough Earth Phase.
Most of Orphius group are at the peak level of Human Phase.

Orphius is in a predicament, in front of them is a group trying to kill them and in their back is a dense forest full of fierce beast. They are in the Mysterious Forest where many high level beast reside and escaping to the forest is just suicide but engaging in battle in the middle of the forest would surely attract the beast in the vicinity. Orphius is thinking had he not accepted to be with this group such situation might not have happened.
Barlock : “Second brother? What should we do? Should we fight or escape?”
Shin : “Are you insane?! This forest has so many high level beast and fighting would also attract them! Ah shit! What’s this situation!!”
Barlock : “Shut up! I’m not talking to you! Make one noise and I’ll hack you to pieces!”
Shin : “Ha! You think I’m afraid of you?”
Barlock : “Then bring it o-”
Orphius glared at Barlock and he quieted down instantly.
Xingye : “Second brother I’m sorry, it’s because of my willfulness we’re in danger.”
Orphius : “…………………..”
Orphius : “No, I’m the eldest if only I was more rational this wouldn’t have happened.”
Xingye : “…………………….”
Xingye felt pain in her heart she felt like she was responsible for everything that have happened.
Shin : “If only that guy Luo would be here. We might not be in this situation.”
Xingye : “SHIN ROUGE!! SHUT YOUR MOUTH!!”
Shin : “What?! You guys have all been talking about how great this “Eldest Brother” is. So I thought if he was here we might not be in this situation.”
Xingye : “SHUT UP!!”
Orphius : “No, he’s right.”
Xingye : “No brother, you’ve been doing good all this time. There’s no need to think like that, Eldest brother is him, and you’re YOU. There’s no comparison between you two.”
Iron : “What’s this? Have you finished saying your goodbyes? Well, if so then y’all are prepared to die now!. GO!”
Orphius : “Y’all run to the forest, I’ll keep them occupied.”
Shin : “What are y’all yapping?”
Shin rushed to confront the enemies. Four enemies rushed to kill Orphius group and Shin and Orphius was holding them back.
Orphius : “SHIN! What are you doing! Escape now I’ll do it!!
Shin : “That’s what I am saying! What are you here for! Escape NOW!”
Orphius : “I’m the eldest! I need to make sure they are safe.”
Shin : “Right, that was what I am saying, so, GET THE FUCK OUT HERE!!”
Shin grabbed Orphius and threw him out of the fighting range.
Shin : “You say you need to protect them. Then get the hell out of here, the forest is dangerous so you need to protect them…………………….. Isn’t that right, Second Brother.”
It was the first time since Shin joined their journey, that he smiled so warmly and genuinely. It was also the first time Shin called Orphius as a brother. Orphius felt a sharp pain from the bottom of his heart. Although he doesn’t really like a spoiled brat like Shin but he was genuinely helping them every time needed, he complained a lot but still do it anyhow. He denies it but deep inside his heart he is already starting to acknowledge Shin as his brother and hoped to realize it. Unfortunately their time together was too sure to make it true.
Orphius : “Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, FUUUCCKKKK. AAARRRRRGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!”
*rooooaaarrrrrrrrrr*
Orphius used his dragon bloodline and made a loud dragon roar that resounded the vicinity of the forest. The forest around trembled as him giving march to the descent of a dragon. The beast is in an uproar and rushed towards the location of the roar. Orphius did it to make the beast rushed to their location trapping the group of teenagers and make distraction to buy them some time to exit the forest.
Zordick : “Brother! Let’s go! Don’t let his sacrifice go to waste.”
Xingye : “……………………………”
Barlock : *crying* “T-Tha guy is not bad at all. I didn’t expect him to do that!”
Orphius : “……………….. Brother Shin, I’ll accept your goodwill this time. I owe you one.”
Orphius and his friends take the commotion of the beasts as veil to cover their retreat.
Shin : “That’s right brother. If there’s a second life, please take me as your brother.”
The rushing beasts arrived at the scene, raged and in berserk, they were affected by the dragon roar released by Orphius.
Shin : “They’re here. Is this how I died? Let’s just get this done.”
Shin dropped his sword as the rushing beast approached, his enemies turn their attention to the beasts instead of him. The clash between the other group and the beasts was intense, they were surrounded by a number of it. Shin saw one beast of Heaven Phase rushing to him, he closed his eyes in hope to have a quick dead when suddenly someone grabbed him away.
Shin : “Eh? Who are you? Wait you are that kid that’s with those guys. Why did you save him?”
Leo : “I was not with them, I was forced to. I was staying in a small village resting when suddenly them barged and destroyed the village, upon seeing another cultivator he framed me as their accomplice. The village was near a sect and I was afraid to get entangled but have no strength to resist them so I had no choice but to go with them.”
Shin : “Wow, you’ve been through a lot. You’re pitiful.”
Leo : “R-Right.”
Shin : “Then, why did you keep staring at my friend’s beast companion?”
Leo : “O-Oh that. It was my first time seeing a Purple Winged Tiger with such high purity of Ancient Beast Bloodline.”
Shin : “Y-You? How did you know that!!”
“Zordick told me that his eldest brother told them that his Purple Winged Tiger has a high purity level of Ancient Beast Bloodline, I didn’t believe but this guy also said the same thing.”
Leo : “Ah about that, I am sensitive to beast bloodlines. I can tell at a glance if that beast has Ancient Divine Beast bloodline and can also tell the purity of them.”
Shin : “How?”
Leo : “This one……..”
Shin : “Don’t worry we’ve been through life and death. We can be considered as life and death brothers, so your secret is also my secret.”
Leo : “Is that so? Then I’ll say it. Actually, I am a descendant of an Ancient Divine Beast.”
Shin : “HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!! Wait put me down first!!”
Leo : “You’re still injured tho.”
Shin : “That’s not important! Tell me who you are first! I might die without knowing! How could a human dares to ask a Divine beast to carry him!”
Leo : “You didn’t ask anyway. I just grabbed you.”
Shin : “Your excellence please put me first, I still want to live longer.”
Leo : “You were ready to sacrifice yourself earlier, I thought you’re ready to die.”
Shin : “I’m safe now, is it wrong to wish to live a bit longer?”
Leo : “Alright I’ll put you down once we get to a safe place.”
Leo and Shin sprint for some more minutes gaining quiet a distance from the battlefield.
Shin : *glare* *wary*
Leo : “Why are you looking at me like that? I told you already, I’m not a pure-blood Ancient Divine Beast. Its too thin to be even considered a proper bloodline, my clan didn’t even give me a drop of ancestor's blood, they said my purity is too low to deserve to be cultivated by the clan. Also didn’t you say we’re brother who’ve been through life and death? Is this how you treat a brother?”
Shin : “Yeah, but that’s before I knew of your origins. Your status is just too sensitive for me.”
Leo : “What’s the big deal? Since I wasn’t chosen by the clan, I am no more than an ordinary person even inside the clan. Since descendants of Ancient Divine beasts value bloodline purity more than anything else, they care not even with my special ability to detect the bloodline purity of beasts. For them even though honestly speaking Ancient Divine beasts are also beasts, they treat ordinary beasts as something barbaric who only acts on instinct and have no intelligence, they see ordinary beasts as no more than an ant.”
Shin : “You’re clan is pretty arrogant, aren’t they?”
Leo : “It isn’t just in our clan but all clan that are descendants of Ancient Divine beasts.”
Shin : “Are you saying you’re a unique one?”
Leo : “Well, I was raised by my grandfather, who is not part of the clan.”
Shin : “Is that so.”
Leo : “So, where should we go now?”
Shin : “Let’s recuperate for some time then get out of this forest.”
Leo : “After that?”
Shin : “My friends’ original goal is to get to Blood Gate City, I’m sure they will head there. We might see them after we arrive there, let’s just set that as our goal for now.”
Leo : “Right, let’s do that.”
Leo and Shin stayed at a cave and recuperated for some time and head for their first journey together.
