Yin & Yang Pleasures of Cultivation

In an instant, Darcel transformed into a profound black trail of light, relentlessly rushing the Siren Mage like a wild beast. 

Within a split second, all that left was Aniela, Masami, and the two struggling cultivators.

Even though their foes were both sixth-level Heavenly Kings, Aniela and Masami honestly couldn't muster up that much caution. 

For sure, the girls were treating this situation seriously. No matter what, Mid-ranks Heavenly Kings shouldn't be that of an easy foe to take down. 

However, their worries and constant self-doubt that continually slumber in the deepest reign of their minds didn't surface now.

Aniela and Masami genuinely felt assured in their own abilities from a mixture of Darcel's example and the Mystical Aura State. 

Facing off against the cultivators, the girls stood entirely calm, as if they were entirely in control of this whole situation.

In direct contrast to Aniela and Masami increasing confidence, the two cultivators were struggling in both mind and body. 

They faced several powerful enemies in the past. But nobody unleashed this intense of an aura! 

They barely have any time to appropriately react to anything. Adding on to the two cultivators' struggle was Aniela and Masami's Siren Chains.

The pain was truly unbearable. They both felt like their flesh was getting seared by the sun itself! Furthermore, the Siren Chains disrupted their flow of Heavenly Qi, making it extremely difficult to resist the girl's Magical Energy and this burning pain.

The cultivators rapidly worked their minds, trying to find any way to escape these binding chains. 

But right at their moment, their true pain had finally started. 

Aniela and Masami surged out even more Magical Power, causing their single Siren Chain to glow a shimmering crimson light. 

Strings of crimson Magical Energy drilled into the cultivator's bodies and then began directly absorbing their Qi Energies!

"Ah-Ahhh!!" 

Both cultivators wailed like an animal being slaughter. Getting their Qi energy absorbed out of them truly felt like a fate worse than death. 

Neither of them had the option to pass out. They both were forced to stay completely conscious as their Qi Energy was getting ripped out of them, feeling like organs was getting brutally pulled out by a rusty knife. 

Because of the brutal pain, the cultivators started to struggle far more intensely. Their eyes became completely bloodshot as their minds nearly broke from the overwhelming pain. 

And right then, before he was entirely drained dry, the first cultivator gained an utterly maddening look.

His screeches of pain stopped as he ferociously glared right at Masami. At that moment, the cultivator forced his mouth open and violently bit right down on his tongue!

Bright red blood sprinkles down on the cultivator's chin, dripping down to his clothes and Masami's Siren Chain. 

Immediately upon biting his tongue, the cultivator's aura explosively beyond his very limits! He had disregarded everything, burning every drop of his blood essence.

Burning away this much blood essence is essentially the equivalent of signing away one's death warrant.

Blood essence is the very vitality of a cultivator. While burning this away can grant a person great temporary strength, it comes at an extreme cost. 

Either their cultivation withers away, or they straight up die!

None of these consequences even register in the cultivator's mind. The instant his power explosively increased, a vicious light burst within his eyes, and a feral grin split across his face.

"Haah!!" 

The cultivator unleashed a powerful burst of Heavenly Qi, destroying Masami's single Siren Chain. 

"We'll die together!!" The cultivator roared like an utter, deranged mad man.

Without stopping, the man then flashed out a long silvery blade. The aura of a Royal Spirit Sword burst out of the blade and frantically increased as the man immediately poured all of combusted blood essence power into it. 

A bright silvery glow discharged out the blade as the cultivator's power soared even higher.

"Hmph. That's it?" 

Masami disdainfully snorted. No matter how high the cultivator's power increased, it couldn't match her aura at all. 

Not wanting to waste any more time, Masami vigorously surged 80% of her bloodline powers. Her energy once again erupted like a volcano, suppressing any slight momentum the cultivator managed to gather. 

An overwhelming oppressive might zeroed in squarely on the cultivator.

"She still has this much power?!" The cultivator felt utter despair creeping up on him again. 

Despite combusting his blood essence, the power difference was still too significant!

Masami didn't give the cultivator even a second to react. She strutted her palm forward, instantly surging an abundance of energy, and then blasted out a Firefox energy palm towards the cultivator. 

The whole cave seemed to turn into a boiling volcano. Anywhere Masami's Firefox energy palm traveled, it would melt the rocks and walls to mere crips. 

"Dammit!!" 

The cultivator only had a split second to react. On pure instincts alone, he chopped down his silvery blade towards Masami's Firefox energy palm. 

'Bang!' 

The miserable groans of the cultivator bounced off the cave's walls as he was sent flying back from the explosive collision. 

To his credit, the cultivator did manage to slightly defend against Masami's attack. 

If he was at full strength, he would've been able to somewhat properly counter that attack.

However, with nearly all of his Qi energy ripped away from him, the man had no chance of resisting. 

While the cultivator sailed through the air, Masami wasn't going to give him a chance to breathe. Her Magical Energy surged once again, and she immediately formed another single Siren Chain. 

With a thought, Masami sent the Siren Chain towards the flying cultivator, and it pierced right through his heart! 

Blood crazily spurted out from the cultivator as Masami's Siren Chain effortlessly drilled through his body.

A sixth-level Heavenly King bodily defenses was nothing but mere tofu against Masami's Magical Energy. 

In that instance, the cultivator wasn't even aware of what was happening. All he could feel was a deathly pain coming from his chest.

And as the light gradually left his eyes, the cultivator caught sight of a blinding white flash. His last thoughts center around these sudden demons who both had powerful Magical and Qi Energy.

At the same time Masami killed off the cultivator, her eyes squinted a bit when a bright white light flashed from the corner of her vision. 

The next second, a wet sickening thump was heard as a bloody corpse slammed into the ground, just dozens of feet away from Masami.

On this corpse, there was a large hole where its heart should be, and its face was struck with utter fear. 

"Hmph. Always with the bright light show, huh?" 

Masami jested as she recalled both her Magical Energy and bloodline powers, causing the other cultivator's corpse to crash into the ground.

"Hehe~. I was just born to be bright and enticing." Aniela teased back. 

And as she walked up to Masami, her gaze briefly crossed back over to the two cultivator's corpses. "Still, to think Darcy was more than right about this. I mean….these two weren't as strong as Siren Star, but they were nearly helpless against a single Siren Chain."

"Eh." Compared to Aniela's bewilderment, Masami simply shrugged her shoulders. 

"Whenever he thinks he's absolutely right, has he ever been wrong? Either way, I'm just glad we're reclaiming our strength! It won't be too long before we are back to our full potential."

….

As Aniela and Masami killed the cultivators, Darcel was in hot pursuit of the Siren Mage. 

At this time, he released 70% of his bloodline powers, causing his strength to skyrocket even more!

Darcel's combined oppressive might crashed straight down on the Siren Mage, swallowing him in a suffocating ocean of overwhelming power. 

"He's this strong?! Just what the hell are you?!"

The Siren Mage could only force down the rising bile in his mouth and the immense pain wreaking utter havoc inside his body. 

In the instance he was hit with Darcel's suffocating aura, the Siren Mage forcefully stopped himself, fishing out a crimson color Mage Staff.

With the Mage Staff in hand, the Siren Mage burst out a wave of Magical Energy from its Magical Orb, immediately forming a Magical Dome around himself.

Compared to just a Magical Barrier, a Magical Dome has far better defenses, almost unbreakable to any attacks. 

Protected inside the Magical Dome, the Siren Mage initially thought he would have some room to properly breathe.

However, his expectations were shattered to bits and pieces the very next split second. 

Several crimson Siren Chains instantly reached the Siren Mage and shattered right through the Magical Dome!

At best, this Siren Mage was just slightly stronger than Siren Star. His overall Magical Energy prowess wasn't too high, but his craft mind allowed him to ward off several Senior-ranked Siren Mages.

But, against an absolute strength disparity, the Siren Mage had no chance to show off any of his skills. 

And once Darcel's Siren Chains crushed the Magical Dome, it didn't stop at all, restlessly soaring right towards the Siren Mage.

'Pu-Chi!' 

The Siren Mage simply couldn't offer any defenses; his body was brutally torn open by the Siren Chains, causing streaks of blood to splatter in the air.

Only a hoarse shrill left the Siren Mage's mouth. 

He couldn't even correctly scream as his Magical Energy and lifeforce was rapidly draining out from him. 

At this moment, the Siren Mage knew it was over for him. He was very clearly aware of the unfathomable power of the Siren Chains arts and wasn't even shocked at it by this point.

There was only a distraught look of fear and despair encompassing the Siren Mage's face. 

As he watched Darcel slowly inched closer to him, the Siren Mage mustered all of his willpower to ask one question. His voice came out as a gurgle but was clear enough to get his message across. 

"Why-why….if you have this kind of talent. Why work with that dog organization….?"
