"That would be a world core, I don’t know if you can create it but if you did, it might help us improve or even complete the vitality of you know what." He gestures something.

Wuk’s eyes lights up but because he was distracted, the cloud turns pale yellow, causing everyone to turn pale.

"Can’t the two of you discuss this on the ground!?" Jericho once again covers Sean’s mouth with his hands.

His expression is extremely pale, he really hates traveling on a flying object that’s not very stable.

"Hahaha! Sorry, sorry, I’m just bored, why don’t you talk to me?" He pouts at him.

Jericho becomes silent, he was in no mood to talk because of their current situation.

But, thinking about it, he realizes that talking might take his mind off from his fear.

"Alright, what do you want to talk about?"

"Your new pet beast, you didn’t really introduce it to me."

"What can I say? It’s not like you didn’t know just how busy we had been."

"You’re right, still, you’re one lucky bxstard to actually managed to find such a superb pet beast."

It’s a great support-type pet beast that has an ambush nature, very compatible with Jericho’s own personality.

"Not lucky, we’re just on the Core Zone and the number of amazing selection is very large, I chose this fellow because I can’t help but drawn to his personality."

"How can I forget such an important thing?" Sean can’t help but chuckle embarrassingly.

He was actually comparing the variety and quality of selection from the Core Zone to their zone.

"In fact, every single one of us bought rare grade mystique creatures, Kommi! Leo! Show Sean your pet beast."

Looking at the figures in front of him, he touches them to see their attributes.

"Looking at their attributes and traits, the one with the closest potential to transform into a dragon bloodline species is actually Shield, Kommi, I think Ming Ming is more suited to absorb the bloodline, Jericho, Golden is too."

Jericho can’t help but ask. "Is the dragon you had slain metal type?"

"Yes, you catch on quickly, that’s why it is more suited for close combat pet beasts and those that have metal attribute."

The three nods their heads while the others looks at them with envy, to actually receive such a gift, even their family won’t be able to obtain it for them.

Meanwhile, the battle in the sky was getting more and more chilling, some of Bai’s body part is destroyed but shockingly, like an image, he doesn’t bleed and was in fact, growing stronger.

Dorgaron, on the other hand, returns to his original form and falls back to the cloud, seeing him in his current condition, Sean can only sigh and let him rest back to Beast World.

"Everyone, please let your pet beasts help Bai, I know that you guys have peak gold rank pet beasts."

Hearing this, the prodigies didn’t hesitate to join, they are actually itching to know just how great the difference between their pet beasts and a monster Pseudo Innate.

With so many pet beasts joining the battle, it didn’t take long before the Pseudo Innate succumb to it’s fate.

Looking at the injuries incurred by their pet beasts in their battle, they can’t help but feel speechless.

Their heart was crushed just by how great the difference between them and Sean.

Without any more distraction, they continue to travel at an average speed.

The next day, Sean was finally able to absorb spiritual energy.

Devour!

Intermediate Cultivation Technique!

The large amount of spiritual energy courses through his body, seeing that the amount of spiritual energy was so dense that it transforms into clouds, everyone was shocked.

"Finally! I can move!" He laughs out loud, he was truly suffering after being unable to move an entire day.

"Let’s switch, Wuk." With a wave of his hand, a cloud appears in front of him.

Cloud Rune: One of the strange runes in existence, it’s not one of the original runes in the universe.

Active: (Cloud Summon), summon a cloud that can carry objects and living creatures.

With his control and the amount of spiritual energy he has, he creatures a enormous white cloud.

Wuk disperses his own as everyone falls to the white fluffy cloud.

Wuk falls deep asleep, he was barely holding on, not being able to rest was too much for him who isn’t used in manipulating and maintaining spiritual energy.

"Wow! I can’t see the ground nor feel that afraid anymore." Jericho lies peacefully in the clouds.

"Of course, you don’t but all of you should prepare, we’re definitely going to encounter multiple mystique creatures wanting to devour my cloud."

"Why!?" Jericho was stunned.

"This cloud, compared to that of Wuk’s is much purer and not only that, it’s entirely made up of spiritual energy, think of it as cotton candy that taste as good as any luxurious dessert."

Jericho takes a chomp and his eyes lights up, it dissolves into his body and he can’t help but want to bite it once again.

Sean smacks his head. "What the hell are you doing!? I just recovered and I’m intending to increase our speed with fire element and yet you want to devour the cloud!?"

He glares at him, his words dissuade those that also wants to take a bite, they had to reign in their pet beasts to prevent them from eating the clouds.

He waves his hand as balls of flame appears, they then turn into some sort of flamethrower, propelling the clouds forward.

"Good, it’s working, I’m glad that my affinity towards fire element is enhanced by Scorchy into an abnormal degree."

He also increases their speed with his new rune.

Wind Rune: One of the basic elemental runes in existence.

Active: (Wind Control), summon wind from the surrounding. Using wind to achieve flight

Passive: (Wind Body), affinity towards the wind element is awakened and enhanced.

Passive2: (Wind Body), decrease wind resistance during flight.

"Dxmn! Why didn’t you inform us that it would speed up!?" Jericho hugs the cloud tightly.

Sean can’t help but look at him like he’s a fool.

"Idiot, look around you." Hearing this, he opens his eyes and sees everyone looking at him with odd expressions.

"I might had sped up my cloud using different means but this doesn’t mean I forgot about everyone’s safety."

He rubs his temple. "Man, we will require some sort of flying skill in the future, if you continue being like this, how are you going to be able to help?"

Jericho blushes, he knows that his best friend was telling the truth but it’s not easy to fix his fear.

ROAR! SCREECH!

A canopy of cries was heard and he knows that this was caused by mystique creatures that can sense his cloud.

Aura of Slaughter!

Suddenly, the entire surrounding transforms into a sea of blood.

Corpses can be seen piled up into hills, the scene shocked everyone, that was untill they blink and the world returns to normal, only a giant image can he seen above the cloud.

Ashura’s image!

Demon God of Slaughter!

"How did you master such an aura!?"

"You have no idea what I had been through." Recalling that bloody world, he can’t help but shiver slightly.

Jericho’s expression became dazed.

Upon seeing the expression of his best friend, he knows that he experienced something horrifying, he silently sits besides him.

"If I wasn’t flying the cloud, I would had asked you to join me for a drink."

Jericho smiles. "I didn’t think that we would experience so many things in just a span of couple of months."

"Yeah, the world is strange, I can’t help but remember the time when we we’re just prattling around back on our city, I wonder how glasses and the others are doing."

"Man, even though it hasn’t been that long, I still can’t believe that we would grow this much."

"You’re approaching silver rank and I’m at the peak of silver rank, both of us had become someone that those back in the city can only wish to become."

"Hahaha! A monkey as the first partner!"

"Said the one who has the same bloodline as a dog."

Seeing the two of them talking so casually, everyone stares at Jericho with envy, the status of the two was worlds apart but their friendship stay strong.

"Our future is looking very uncertain."

"Hahaha! We are born in this time, let’s just make the most of it!"

Sean was inwardly feeling complicated, unlike his friend, he can’t truly say that his life is short and he must enjoy it to the fullest.

His lifespan is similar to that of the tree of life in Beast World.

Only if it wilts will he grow older but with it being just a juvenile, he still has hundreds of thousands of years to live, which to him, is too mind-blowing.

He can’t deny that this gives him a brand new perspective in how to live his life but he’s just afraid that if he continue to exist even in the future, he would lose all of his emotion.

The journey was silent, he was deep in thought and Jericho didn’t say anything and just sits besides him all of this time.

They don’t need to worry about food, they can eat the clouds during the intervals, it might not be as filling as food but it staves off hunger by filling the body with immense energy.

Two weeks later.

"Sean, is it just me or had my vitality rises in quality?" Jericho suddenly asks while training.

"You aren’t mistaken, you guys hadn’t eaten anything other than my clouds, the pure spiritual energy courses through your body."

"What does it mean?"

"It means that your vitality becomes purer but I suggest that you don’t continue your training, your vitality might had increased in quality but it’s lacking in quantity, you need meat for that."

Jericho agrees, after training, he feels incredibly tired.

"You don’t need to be so anxious, we’re teleported in the Core Zone, we just need to find a city and request support from the Federation."

He was also intending to use this chance to designate a teleportation medium in the capital city of the Core Zone.

"Is it really alright for us to come with you?" Suddenly, the disciples belonging to the Martial Alliance can’t help but ask.

"Yes, don’t worry, even if the Federation gives you some trouble, I’ll make it sure that the Martial Alliance knows that you guys are here, our side might be more advanced but in terms of rankers, your side is much stronger."

Those from the Federation grumbles, one of them even mutters.

"That ain’t true though, we have you, no one in our generation can compare to you."

The people from Martial Alliance glares at them, they can’t deny that no one in their generation can compare to Sean but to be accepted as only from the Federation makes them feel bitter.

He doesn’t bother with their argument, he’s too busy operating his cloud ship.

A week later, they finally see a city but what presented to them was utter chaos, they didn’t notice it before they got closer.

Suddenly, a dense killing intent appears out of nowhere, the source of it was Sean, he senses a familiar energy from the human hybrids attacking the city.

"Genetic Upgrade!"

Wuk’s expression changes as he roars, Sean had to stop him from leaping to the city.
