120 Wrecked Habitat 1

Within one of his many rooms there sitting on a mat was Taf in the lotus stance. Before him were cores that glowed in multiple colors. There he sat in contemplation as he observed them.

" Sigh It's a pity that spider's core got destroyed in the battle we had..."

He lamented as images of Marceline bursting into little pieces flashed in his mind...

" This injury sure has messed with my progress. So much so that with the absorption of the phoenix blood, even May has surpassed me in cultivation..."

Taf could only grin as the thought crossed his mind.

" There I was slowing my progress so as to not get too far ahead and she just surpasses me.

Even when I arrived at the 8th she will be making preparation to step into the 9th.."

Though she had surpassed him, he was filled with nothing but happiness and relief. Relief in now knowing there would be little need to worry when they engage in future battles.

It even seemed their overall goal of arriving at the peak together as they initially planned, was on track for the moment...

" I wonder how many realms are there above the realm of lords?"

He curiously thought as his mind drifted off a bit...

" How many before I too can be just like the draconian and do whatever I please in space.

Guess that will only give old Man Ming more material for selling his meals huh..."

He laughed as the thought crossed his mind. Soon images of huge signs and pictures of himself on billboards with the old man taking credit with his food flashed by...

As he thought of this however there was a bit of sadness that overcame him. Though he initially didn't want to think about it, within the future he knew there will come a time where Old Man Ming wasn't around anymore.

" There are herbs and pills that can extend a mortal's life a significant amount. I should collect some before my journey home. The stronger I become, the greater my clout and the better quality i can harvest.

Guess there is no better time than the present to start right?"

As his intend was made known he then closed his eyes before grabbing one of the cores that surrounded him...

???? Cultivation Art - Hungry wolf????

As he spoke red Qi found itself funneling like cyclones within dantian.

Crack!!!

The first core started to shatter before falling apart as Taf grabbed another. This process went on for an hour before...

Booom!!!!

Suddenly his dantian cracked open before once again reforming anew significantly larger than before...

" Finally the 8th stage..."

He sighed in relief as he observed his dantian that had expanded a bit. Everything had seemingly gone smoothly as nothing odd had occurred...

" I should try my inherent art and see how my body has adjusted. Hmm, I wonder if it would be significantly less taxing...?"

Curiosity got the best of him as he thought about the last attack he had used on Marceline. It was this same inherent art that caused him to be bedridden for over two months...

As Taf walked around his new home he started feeling as though it was too much. There were so many rooms and space yet it was only him. He was accustom to his room in the attic of the restaurant, small but somewhat cozy.

These rooms were, of course, to be occupied by servants, however, he refused as he didn't like the thought of others in his space.

" Guess not all dreams turn out the way you imagined huh..."

As he lingered in his thoughts he made his way into a courtyard that had luscious greenery all around.

" Here will do..."

He then aimed his right hand at a tree which had some green fruit with touches of yellow. Each seemed to have a few sprinkles of dew from the cold night.

????Demon Inherent Art - Devour????

He spoke before opening his palm and uttering...

????Absorption????

Soon a suction force could be observed coming form from his hand. Everything within the direction of his right hand similar to a magnet was drawn towards it. The tree leaves, fruits, branches even down to the bark was rips from its grasp.

" Seems way more powerful than it was initially...." Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click www.webnovel.com for visiting.

As Taf observed he tried making a comparison as to its strength compared to his previous use.

" With some practice, I should be able to use this at least twice with ease at full strength and a third time would be pushing it somewhat. However, before I come to any full conclusion..."

He then made a motion with his left hand...

???? Expulsion????

As he spoke the word and its attack was about to unleash...

" What the heck...?"

He shouted in fright, within his left hand he felt a strange sensation. It was strange yet familiar in a sense. The last time his hands felt like this was his last attack on Marceline when they fought...

His veins felt as though they were being baked from the inside, yet it was not as overbearing as the previous time.

Soon black lightning formed at the end of his palm before...

BOOOM!!!

The tree was blasted into bits yet the lightning did not stop there as it continued obliterating anything in its path.

Before Taf could even come to terms with what had happened, he saw the black lightning heading to a dwelling atop the mountain a bit further from his own...

" Oooh shit...."

As he saw what was about to unfold he slowly took a few steps back towards the door. As he hurried inside he heard...

BOOOOOMMM!!!

He didn't need to look to know what happened...

" Damn it, just when I promised I wouldn't cause a fuss., hopefully, no one was hurt."

He then took a slight glance and what he saw in the wake of his attack was indeed in his expectations. There was not a stone or brink left standing.

No more was there a dwelling but apparent piles of rubble that littered the side of the mountain...

As he spoke he heard cries from the direction of where the dwelling was located. It was not out of pain however but extreme fury.

" Which bastardly coward did this, come out now. I swear I am going to kill someone tonight..."
