Prime Originator



Meanwhile, on the southern side of the crater, the Black Warbear Tribe and its subordinate tribes remained stunned after the flying black Earth Dragon decimated the Whitebone Fiends in the area with its dark flames before taking off to another location.

"Chief, Chief! What are your orders, Chief?" a Low-rank Battle King from the Black Warbear Tribe repeatedly called out to Chief Blackbear.

Nevertheless, it still took some time before Chief Blackbear and the other warriors in the area recovered from their shock.

"What?" Chief Blackbear glanced at the Low-rank Battle King.

"Your orders, Chief. What are your orders? What should we do now? The Earth Dragon dealt with these devil spawns, but we don't know whether the Earth Dragon is a friend or foe. It could direct its dark flames at us later," the Low-rank Battle King voiced his concern.

Although the Low-rank Battle King didn't mention it directly, everyone understood that he implied whether they should stay or leave.

"If the Earth Dragon was a foe, where can we even go?" Chief Blackbear replied while gazing at the uphill in the distance.

"A flying Earth Dragon is unheard of. This Earth Dragon must have tapped into the power of the Divine. There must be some reason why this Earth Dragon suddenly appeared here in the Central Region."

"I think it came from the western direction. Maybe we will find our answer there—"

Boom!

Just as Chief Blackbear glanced towards the west, he suddenly saw the western sky brightened with myriads of colored lights before the ground shook from a powerful impact.

Fuuu…

Chief Blackbear and several warriors deeply inhaled to relieve their shock and tension. Something was definitely happening on the western side of the crater.

"Let's go. We'll head over to the western side and check on the situation."

"Yes, Chief!"

…

A few moments earlier…

After Leon sent Goldenstride and Nightingale out to take care of the southern and northern sides, Leon gazed at the Whitebone Fiends roaming the western side from atop the hill with Rainshine and the others.

"My Lord, if you sent Lord Goldenstride and Lord Nightingale to deal with the northern and southern sides, who would deal with the creatures here?" Chief Ironshield asked.

"I will deal with them," Leon replied coolly.

"You will, my Lord?"

"That's right."

Chief Ironshield, Chief Sar-Rakshi, Chief Sul-Dahki, and all the elite warriors were all stunned by Leon's decision. But in the next moment, their eyes brightened with anticipation.

There was not a single person among them that wasn't curious about Leon's strength.

Nevertheless, after Leon gave his confirmation, he soared into the sky and glanced down on the Whitebone Fiends in the area.

A portion of the Whitebone Fiends was attracted to the southern and northern sides, but a majority of the Whitebone Fiends roamed the center of the western side aimlessly.

'I can finally test the power of an Early-stage Truth Manifestation Realm cultivator with fifteen Law Fruits,' Leon mused. The Whitebone Fiends will do just fine for target practice.

Dark power surged out of Leon's Truth Manifestation Tree of Darkness a few moments later and spread outside his body before condensing into a black spear of pure dark energy.

Swoosh—!

Leon hurled the dark-powered spear without hesitation. It cut through the air with great momentum, causing the air to weigh down on Whitebone Fiends as if gravity had increased.

However, it only lasted a split second before the dark-powered spear struck the ground in the next instance.

Boom!

The dark-powered spear erupted on impact. The rapidly expanding black sphere of dark energy instantly swallowed hundreds of Whitebone Fiends.

Nevertheless, the black sphere deflated shortly after, leaving behind a huge crater with hundreds of withered corpses as if every form of energy and fluid had been wrung out of their bodies.

Although it was just a casual attack, it was comparable to the attack of an Early Paragon.

If he had used a spirit art, it would have been even more powerful.

However, Leon wasn't concerned about that. He was still in the midst of testing his power. After testing his dark power, Leon tested the power of two Law Fruits next.

Fire and darkness merged before forming dark flames in Leon's hand. After it condensed into a dark flame spear, he fired it like the last one.

Boom!

Hundreds of Whitebone Fiends were immediately engulfed in the eruption of dark flames. Their bodies quickly crumbled like broken charcoal, and not long after, they disintegrated into ashes.

The attack was stronger than the last attack, but it was still far from being comparable to the attack of a Mid Paragon; it was about the middle stage of Early Paragon at best.

"These dark flames were quite similar to Nightingale's dark flames. However, Nightingale's dark flames were far more powerful than this…" Leon mused.

Shortly after, he tested the power of three Law Fruits by adding the power of the Solar Fruit. The addition of solar power immediately raised the power of the dark flames to the Mid Paragon level.

Nevertheless, it was hard to still call it dark flames at that point. After fusing the three powers, the orb of dark flames transformed into a ball of black light.

It looked like a black hole with an event horizon marking the borders of light entering it.

However, the ball of black light didn't have any of the black hole's gravitational power. Instead, it had a scorching-high temperature full of destructiveness.

When Leon fired the ball of black light, a pillar of black light descended towards a group of Whitebone Fiends on the ground like a laser beam.

Zinggg—!

The black beam blasted a deep hole straight through the ground, unlike the previous two attacks. Only a few Whitebone Fiends were caught in it.

However, little remained of their visible existence; they were vaporized into atoms.

It was clear that the triple-law-powered attack had far great penetrative power in exchange for the large destruction range it had lost.

"The power rose exponentially with additional law power added, huh?" Leon mused.

He still couldn't guess how powerful his attack would be if he fused the power of all fifteen law fruits on his Truth Manifestation Tree of Darkness.

That being said, it might not be that easy to fuse them.
