Chapter 465: Escalation
The huge flame was gone from the physical world, but Sage immediately felt a presence invade his mind. Inside his Spiritual Sea, the ball of flame rushed in from the grey misty borders of the Spiritual Sea and a wave of heat washed over the water and seared against the side of Sages mental fortress. The huge ball of flame started to float closer. As it moved, the flames silhouette began to change. Slowly twisting and rolling, reforming into the rough shape of a man. A giant created of flames, stomped its foot down upon the surface of the Spiritual Sea. Steam burst into the air, the giants foot boiled away the water as soon as it touched it.
There was no solid ground for its foot to step down upon, but it burned away the Spiritual Sea water so quickly that it kept the liquid at bay, forming a layer of empty air a few inches around wherever it passed. Just by stepping a few inches into the Spiritual Sea it put on a show of walking on water while also creating turbulence in Sages mind. Or at least it would for anyone who hadnt practiced any mental cultivation. The waters of the Spiritual Sea usually represented the emotions and mental state of a cultivator, but after practicing a mental cultivation it protected against the volatility of emotions and outside influence by creating a stable island. The skies above the Spiritual Sea reflected outside influence, weather that could drastically affect the seas beneath them. With his mental cultivation, Sage had a foundation to center ones self around, and a shelter against the storms.
Yet, none of that seemed to matter against the flame giant.
The Spiritual Sea was turned into a torrent of steam when the giant raised its hand and punched towards Sages mental fortress. Flames spewed forth and splashed against the walls of the fort. At first the walls stood strong and showed not a sign of damage. Taking it as a challenge, the Giant lowered its hand and charged towards the fortress. Amazingly, the giant was actually taller than the fortress, the top of the walls coming only to its shoulder height. Dashing forward, the giant stopped at the wall and let out a loud roar. Instead of striking again, it instead looked up towards the sky. The clouds started to change from a cloudy grey to a stormy black. Yet, that wasnt enough. They continued to roil and shift, and streaks of red started to form within the clouds. Then, the Giant raised the pitch of his roar and the clouds parted. A hole formed and a huge column of flame fell from the sky, raining down upon the mental fortress.
Sage started to grow worried and stopped caring about battling the mutational energy rushing through his body. He poured all of his Spirit Power into strengthening his mental fortress and resisting the non-stop damage. In the past he had been devoting all of his earnings to buying the Universe Ring back from Guan Zhenyan. There was no way hed suffer that constant torture many times over to also become the mans disciple. After selling him the Infinite Immaterial Seat, the price for other techniques was at a much higher level and Sage couldnt buy a single one. There were a few in the Timeless Masters library, but Sage had only studied the basics and figured it was enough to have a defense for his mind. Why would he need to learn attacks? The Twin Soul was very good at attacking souls, so it had never been a priority for him. The Psionic Crystals had provided him with a route to learning new techniques, but he hadnt had them long enough to study them.
The heat penetrated deeper and deeper into the mental fortress until Sage felt his mind blurring. His thoughts started to slow down and his perception was stifled. Before long he started to grow drowsy, and the entire fortress was on the verge of complete ruin.
Waaaa!
Everything went completely dark and quiet. Devoid of light and sound, all was stopped. There was only silence. He couldnt feel anything against him. In moments all sense was gone, and only broken by a loud wailing. The cry of a baby.
What was that? Where am I? Why dont I remember what I was doing? Wait. Who am I?
