3 Colorful Seeds Tainted By Darkness (1)
The Colgova at the center was tall, slender, and simply a hot piece of beauty within the central command. Her dark blue skin was pure crystals that looked like metal. To her right was a Demon with small, obscure brown eyes and pitch-black skin. He seemed dead serious as he gazed at Heian Ciemnosc, carrying hostility within them.
To the Colgova’s right, a tall, mutated Merfolk Beast Race member with galaxy and star-like skin glared at Heian Ciemnosc without giving any impression or emotion. From the 3, he was the one to show less of his thoughts from any of his actions, as if he had nothing in his mind, or never had, for that matter.
“...” Heian Ciemnosc’s darkest eyes slightly narrowed as he watched them. The melee battle still raged around them, before each other, in the middle. His Spirit Sense told him they were all at the peak of the Third Step’s Mythical realm while he was at the Second Step’s Dark realm core stage’s peak level. In other words, Heian Ciemnosc’s cultivation base was 1 entire realm below theirs. And those 3 were also half a step into the Central Formation realm.
However, that wasn’t the most crucial factor, although they did have an insane advantage from their cultivation base when considering these 3 were in their 20s! Heian Ciemnosc was approaching his 40s. One could only imagine the type of tremendous talent people like these have to cultivate for less than even 20 years, yet achieving the Third Step. No wonder the Evergazing was so daring!
No. What made Heian Ciemnosc feel danger and a strong presence from them wasn’t any of this, nor their strong willpower as they faced him, a well-known realm-surmounting young black monster!
They all were… Special Lotus Bodies!
The young Demon man on the Colgova’s right emanated an utmost natural, instinctive, slightly primitive Fire energy from everywhere within him. It was as if he and any Fire elemental particle were the same. It coursed through his veins and shoved any blood, piece of flesh, bone, and even organs with an intense heat Heian Ciemnosc believed only Godly cultivators could endure. This was just the surface of a Special Lotus Body!
The young Beast man on the Colgova’s left expelled an earthly, herby scent from his body. The Elemental Poisoning around him were like children acting spoiled to curry favor with him. They rubbed and brushed against his body, which wasn’t well-toned but was at least some tens of thousands of kilograms in bodily strength. His body was like the young Demon’s, and its vigor allowed it to have 10 times the lifespan of a Third Step cultivator in the same realm.
Finally, the only female among the 3, who seemed like their unconditional leader, which they adamantly followed, was much different. Unlike the Primary Four Elements, the Lightning element had a great deal of destructiveness, speed, unfathomable momentum, and defiance of anything that it could reach and not!
Her crystalline body, just like any other Colgova, would inherit great mental and physical defenses. Their talent on those was outstanding and possibly the best in the entire world’s Myriad Races. While other Races had tremendous talent in defenses for either one or both, only the Colgova had the highest dual-defense innate talent.
Coupled with just her Special Lotus Body being the Special Lightning Body, this Colgova had too many advantages just from being birthed into the world! Her dark blue crystal skin glowed with imperceptible, marvelous violet flashes. Her eyes were empty but formed violet pupils that fiercely landed on Heian Ciemnosc.
“Sword Majestic Pavilion’s Core Member, Chosen Ernesto,” the young Demon said, introducing himself to the prey his little team had just set their eyes on. His enhanced Neutral Energy flew out of his body, covering a tiny portion outside his clothes. The flames were bright, spectacularly red. They added a lot to his image, also giving Heian Ciemnosc some pressure as they were summoned from within the young Demon’s body.
“Sword Majestic Pavilion’s Core Member, Chosen Schlank,” the young Merfolk Beast Race member followed his partner. Heian Ciemnosc watched in silence as his body became a little bigger than it already was, and his body was outlined, superimposed by a warm light lime with touches of murky green. His bodily strength soared to 50,000 kg!
“...” Heian Ciemnosc was mildly surprised, not really unaware of the capabilities of any Special Lotus Body. But he also understood that these 2 Chosens from the Evergazing Existence weren’t just lucky fellas who came to this world adorned with nature loving them. They were also unique elites among all Special Lotus Bodies. If it was another Special Earth Lotus Body, chances were that such a person would only amount to 20,000 or even 30,000 kg of bodily strength.
“Not bad. Your body tempering is comparable to Godly cultivators,” Heian Ciemnosc said, speaking after these 2 showed they wouldn’t be testing him and would go all out to kill instead. This was respect, and if someone deserved it, in their opinion… then it could only be the young black monster!
“Hmph!” The young Merfolk looked at Heian Ciemnosc with his eyes growing fierce, and a particularly quiet and smooth but not deep voice sounded. “At least you’re aware!”
“Name’s Landa,” the Colgova spoke at this moment, lowering her shoulders slightly as she stepped out of her Low Battleship’s central command. Her ‘underlings’ looked at her warily before unhesitatingly following her into space.
When ‘Landa’ floated into space, abandoning the flickering lights of her Battleship as it slightly descended to the bottom according to the universal focus, her chest stuck out, and her legs elegantly folded and stretched as she closed towards Heian Ciemnosc above the massive battlefield.
It wasn’t that massive, as it was just millions of cultivators fighting to the death, and Heian Ciemnosc’s spaceships weren’t moving and joining the battle. However, for space battles… this might just be ordinary. After all, Third Step organizations or higher were the only ones truly capable of dispatching forces into space, and First Step organizations could already send millions to several different frontlines each…
“Sword Majestic Pavilion’s Core Member Landa,” Landa said. Heian Ciemnosc followed their actions and slightly separated from all other cultivators, leaving them below as they went even higher than the ‘ceiling’ of their 4th line battlefield columns. They were nearly in free space within their Existences, and it was as empty of anything as it could ever be.
“Wrath Nihility Academy, Crimsonbreaking Faction’s Heian Ciemnosc. Oh, also the young black monster.” Heian Ciemnosc stopped several dozen meters before them and introduced himself. This was the target he set for himself when he saw the information of this conflict.
“Hm…” Then, as Heian Ciemnosc looked at their emblems, he remembered back to the Blauw Empire, where he killed that Blauw Monstorm. But now he knew where the ‘riches’ to build their naval Fleets came from. It was already evident, and it became official. The Sword Majestic Pavilion had long infiltrated the Quiongu Fanhui Existence.
“So? Are you still part of all of them? Heng,” the target leader commented as she heard Heian Ciemnosc’s words. Her crystalline eyebrows knitted in disdain and then relaxed in all seriousness. “If you somehow survive this, you’ll be glad to know we won’t be stupid enough to destroy the Wrath Nihility Academy. At that time, you can be reincorporated into the world and recuperate your prestige. But the Crimsonbreaking Faction will build its tombstone after this war!”
“Confident! Alright. I’m no one to tell you how to behave, but at least try knowing if you are worthy of it,” Heian Ciemnosc calmly spoke as he shook his body left and right slightly. Only he knew the itchiness he felt as he watched these 2 monstrous Chosens follow Landa like good little monkeys. As he felt his pale skin unnoticeably thrilled, trembling to the incoming, raw battle he was about to have, Landa lifted her chin like a queen about to sentence its subjects.
“You don’t have to worry about a fair fight. It wouldn’t be one if any one of us stood at the side and watched you fight. Right, I never told you my title,” Landa spoke as she lifted her body slightly higher. She rose upwards like an angel and stopped 3 meters above Heian Ciemnosc’s head level. “Then, allow this Holy Daughter of the Evergazing Existence know the bounds of the honored young black monster!”
‘So it is a Favored Title, indeed… a Holy Daughter!’ Heian Ciemnosc’s darkest eyes showed apprehension. If there was any Favored Title in an organization, it meant the organization was showered in nature when she proved herself. Heian Ciemnosc didn’t have a network capable of traversing Existences like the Obscure Orb Sect, so he didn’t know what could have happened these past 20 years since he joined the Wrath Nihility Academy.
PSHIIIIIFT, PSHIIIIIIIIFT- PPPSSSSSSHHHHHHH~~!!!
As Heian Ciemnosc resolved himself to this fight, Landa’s arms were covered in blue lightning. Behind her were the young Demon and Merfolk, who, from Heian Ciemnosc’s angle, were behind her spread arms, now forming ‘Vs’ at her sides below her armpits.

The blue lightning condensed into several strikes that wrapped around her arms, trying to stay in place around her hands but failing to do so. She opened her eyes when they finally became stagnant and were seemingly stuck in her fingertips. Fire and Earth energy flashed behind her as she narrowly opened her eyes and faced Heian Ciemnosc.
“!” Heian Ciemnosc saw the Fire and Earth Lotus Bodies increase the energy around them. It wasn’t just Neutral Energy and/or Elemental energy. Their Neutral and Elemental Energy became one! This was the Special Lotus Bodies’ most distinguished advantage! An entire Element as their power source!!
WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!
The young Demon and Merfolk rushed past their leader and lunged at Heian Ciemnosc, each swinging their fists in a slow fashion at a speed Heian Ciemnosc couldn’t compare to! Landa stayed on her spot, but her arms slowly moved to her clasp at her front, with the blue lightning in them charging up.
Fwwuuuuh~! Gooommm~~!
Heian Ciemnosc’s darkest eyes watched as a fist was filled with the brightest, spectacular red flames and another with earthly light that immediately moved through space and any other obstacle like fish through water! Just as they were 2 meters away from him, and Heian Ciemnosc lifted his pale palms to receive them, Landa’s arms were covered by… a rapid and sizzling layer of blue energy!
Fire Energy, Earth Energy, and Lightning Energy!
SSSHHUUUU-ZZZZAAAP!
Landa’s arms didn’t hesitate to send her Lightning Energy forward, immediately reaching past the young Chosens and hitting Heian Ciemnosc on his sternum before he could move again or continue lifting his hands. Heian Ciemnosc’s vision changed as he felt the lightning bolt land on his body, and the 2 young men’s front bodies distanced themselves from him ever more…
“!!” Heian Ciemnosc felt like a heavy object hammered his chest before flying back several kilometers. It was much easier to be flown away in space, especially if the attack came from pure Elements.
WHOOSH! WHOOSH! The young Chosens flew after Heian Ciemnosc at an even higher speed! Their bodies were fully covered by their Elemental Energy, and they streaked across the battling columns and cultivators without being deterred. Meanwhile, Heian Ciemnosc was flung away, spinning as his body couldn’t react with blue lightning zapping his body and never stopping tormenting it!
“!” Heian Ciemnosc’s darkest eyes opened, and the expression of slight pain faded. Heian Ciemnosc’s dark Neutral Energy came outside and immediately battled the blue lightning zapping at his body and coiling around it like a vice vine. It rapidly dissipated, gnawed away by the dark Neutral Energy.
FUTOMP! Heian Ciemnosc suddenly stopped his body, creating a shockwave 1 meter in diameter around him. Elemental Poison acted like it could sense his emotions and didn’t return to normalcy for several seconds. Heian Ciemnosc watched the incoming young Demon and Merfolk as he stood up in space.
His sternum slightly emitted smoke, and a clear opening to his pale skin revealed it was scarcely bruised, with some tiny dots opening his skin. Heian Ciemnosc looked at the rapidly flying young men but focused his gaze on the young woman staying behind. Although she was a few kilometers away, Heian Ciemnosc felt her presence right in front of him!
Swish, swish… Heian Ciemnosc lifted his hands, placing his palms in the direction the 2 young men were moving towards him. He didn’t effectuate his dark Neutral Energy. Nor did he Claws Out. He simply lifted his arms and tensed his body as his shoulders were prepared to receive the brunt of their attacks.
The faces of Ernesto and Schlank grew hateful at Heian Ciemnosc’s underestimation of their strength. They did a last burst of Elemental Energy to advance the last two hundred meters and arrive before Heian Ciemnosc. Schlank thrust his fist covered with Earth Energy, and Ernesto swiftly punched his with roaring and crackling Fire Energy, leaving flaming traces behind.
POM! POM!... Sssssiizzz… crack!
“!!!”
PSHIFT!!! WHOOOSH- SWEEESH- PSHIFT! PSHIFT- CLICK PSHIFT-CLICK!!!! BAAAAAAM!!!!!!!
Heian Ciemnosc received the fists with his palms. Heian Ciemnosc’s shoulders didn’t draw back when they connected. On the other hand, the 2 young Chosens before him widened their eyes. Ernesto poured his Fire Energy towards Heian Ciemnosc. It rapidly incinerated his dark coat’s left sleeve, but it only slapped and sparkled off with his pale skin like a playful child.
Needless to say, Ernesto’s countenance dropped, but he wasn’t the worst off from the 2. Schlank’s scales immediately shuddered upon encountering Heian Ciemnosc’s pale right palm, and his face immediately paled while the Fire Energy of his partner failed to burn Heian Ciemnosc’s pale skin. Schlank’s eyes trembled when Heian Ciemnosc just-so slightly clenched his right-handed fingers.
Bones cracked immediately, and Schlank felt too fearful of fighting close to anything and anyone for the first time in his life… He was flabbergasted, silly! When he felt his knuckles crumble beneath Heian Ciemnosc’s mere clenching fingers, his Earth Energy rose everywhere around his body, including his trapped left fist, and he swung his body to stomp on Heian Ciemnosc’s abdomen.
Heian Ciemnosc let him and watched as Schlank freed himself from his grasp after using his Earth Energy without a ripple in his expression. Meanwhile, Ernesto looked at the fleeing Schlank and felt gladdened while also apprehensive of the strength gripping his right fist… because he couldn’t free himself away unless he exerted it all.
But at that moment, Heian Ciemnosc’s senses incessantly warned him, and he slightly jolted his neck backwards and gazed at the front. A flashing, momentous blue lightning bolt rushed towards him. It wasn’t as small just to create a baby-fist bruise on his body, but the whole torso!
It was Landa! And she crossed thousands of meters in under a few seconds, rapidly helping Schlank recompose and follow behind, but much slower than her! Ernesto took this as a chance and employed a large amount of Fire Energy to form an Art, brandishing on his left fist as a Fire Energy whip rapidly lashed towards Heian Ciemnosc’s chest!
At the same time, Landa was just a few milliseconds from reaching them, and her palms were already filled with blue Lightning Energy as she clearly attempted to smack him away again. But this time, Heian Ciemnosc felt danger from her attack, and it wasn’t a mere blue Lightning Energy attack like before. He felt danger!
Heian Ciemnosc’s darkest eyes opened fully as his pale palms faced upwards. They immediately darkened, and 8 inches long, 2.3 inches wide dark claws replaced his nails. Heian Ciemnosc’s left claw moved to the left to protect his chest and shoulder while his right claw stretched just a little forwards, wide open and effervescent in dark Neutral Energy.
“!” - “!” - “!” - “!?”
The 3 of them reacted in shock as the impact of Landa’s palms on Heian Ciemnosc’s right darkened palm and Ernesto’s Fire Energy whip on his left forearm and claw caused a shockwave around them to spread for 200 meters. Landa and Ernesto looked at Heian Ciemnosc, and Heian Ciemnosc looked at them.
On the other hand, Schlank was left outside their reaction party as he confusedly looked at Heian Ciemnosc. Landa had clearly chosen to focus her attacks on Heian Ciemnosc’s sole palm due to the danger she felt, and that claw was also aiming at her throat or sternum. She had to feel threatened to choose to attack him like this instead of taking her chances and suffering a minor injury… How powerful was Heian Ciemnosc?!
SWEEEEEEEEESHHHHHHH~~~~!!
“...” Heian Ciemnosc watched as he was blown away again. At the last moment, Landa kicked the space to her right and threw a blue lightning bolt from her instep to grab onto Ernesto, who nearly flew even harder and faster than he was. Heian Ciemnosc’s darkest eyes glanced at Landa before he turned his body and nose-dived downwards in the general universal focus.
… … … … WHIPLASH!! WHOOSH- PSHIIFT!! WHOOOSH~!!
Schlank immediately followed after Heian Ciemnosc, who took to flight but wasn’t fleeing. Suddenly, Vocón Link came to light and slapped the space before Schlank. Schlank deviated and used a bout of Earth Energy towards it, thrusting her arms forth before using the momentum of the clash to resume chasing after Heian Ciemnosc.
ZZZZAAPPPP!!! FWWWUOOOHH~!!
Landa rapidly joined him, with her hands letting go of Ernesto as she brought him close enough, leaving him alongside Schlank before speeding up towards Heian Ciemnosc.
Shuaahuaaa~!! “!!” Heian Ciemnosc suddenly turned his upper body around, and his darkest eyes glowed until seemingly coming out of his eyeballs and spreading towards his pursuers. Landa’s eyes widened, and she immediately stopped before putting her Soul defenses up, but the others didn’t understand what happened until it reached their bodies and entered their inner being.
Bloodthirsty Consuming Enshrinement!
“AAH!” - “Aghh!” The young Demon recuperated quickly, but his initial response showed the tremendous pain he was surprised with. On the other hand, the young Merfolk suffered for 2 seconds extra after the young Demon resumed chasing Heian Ciemnosc, who had already changed directions and headed to the broken blockade.
Heian Ciemnosc’s darkest eyes twinkled, and a little smile surfaced on his pale red lips while Landa raged, gritting her teeth before rushing towards him, too. Schlank furiously followed after them, with Ernesto’s feet spitting Fire Energy like a tiny comet, leaving Schlank behind and only slower than Landa.
“Stop right there!!” Landa shouted out in rage. She flew past Heian Ciemnosc, stopped 400 meters before him, and flung her right index and middle finger towards him as geoglyphs and lineal traces were drawn in the space around her, especially her sides and her crystal right hand.
Pas- pas- ZZZZZAP!!!
2 thin streams of blue Lightning Energy exploded almost like beams, obstructing Heian Ciemnosc’s immediate path. Before he could continue, the blue Lightning Energy shot past his vision, and sparkles suddenly encompassed the 2 beam-like Lightning Energy Art technique.
Blue lightning embraced the blue Lightning Energy techniques until forming an area of hundreds of meters around them! Heian Ciemnosc’s darkest eyes widened, but his body was reached despite these standing just several hundred meters before him and distanced from each other in the same way.
ZAP! ZAP! ZAPPPP! CRASHHH!! FWUOOOH! GOOOOM~~!
Heian Ciemnosc’s body was like a magnet, attracting thousands of blue lightning tongues streaking and colliding with his body. Heian Ciemnosc felt a drawing force before he was gradually and heavily pulled closer to the blue lightning storm. Looking in the direction they were shot, he could vaguely see they only stopped after a thousand kilometers.
…
