Primordial Dimensions

Shane was astonished to see such a large territorial fight so close to their RadiantRing shelter, which shouldn't be happening in the first place. Normally, the system provided a certain degree of safety to the newly constructed shelter during the first month of their construction.

This was suspicious and Shane began to wonder if there was something wrong with the shelter or if the cave was far enough from the Shelter to not receive the system's naturally provided "safety"

The shelter could also be older than what the government told the public. However, in this case, he wondered why the elemental crystal cave in front of him was still untouched.

Everyone needed funds and a large number of elemental crystals was worth a huge fortune that would be enough to reach greater realms!

With his current funds, he would be able to reach the expert rank without any problem.

That was if he relied on a 60% mana purification technique in addition to a flawed body refining technique.

In comparison, there were some weaker races that had entered the intermediate Primordial dimension without going through the arduous efforts to build up their foundation. Such races had an extremely low mana purity of 60% which was indicative of a weak race's foundation!

This was a bad sign for the race, even though they could directly enter the intermediate Primordial dimensions without being torn to shreds.

As such, one could say that it was extremely unfair for the system to provide many weak races with resources to build up a foundation while it neglected `stronger` races with their weak foundation.

It was only a few days ago that Shane had found out that such races could shatter their foundation by paying with valuable items and ingredients!

Shattering their foundation would also weaken their physique to a certain degree. It was apparently accommodated by terrifying pain that they had to endure until their strength was adjusted to the capabilities of the basic primordial dimension.

Doing so would reset their mana pool cultivation to zero and one would need to begin the cultivation path from scratch again.

Meanwhile, their physique would remain at a certain prowess according to the quality of ingredients and materials they had used to shatter their quality.

It would definitely be interesting to encounter foreign races like this and Shane was already expectant!

While thinking about all of that, he observed the small skirmish between the two races carefully. It seemed like they had reached a stalemate with dead corpses decorating the whole room.

Shane would have never called himself greedy because he had lived in luxury on Igra. Somehow since he had entered the primordial dimension, his desire to earn more to reach new realms had ignited and unbeknownst to himself, he became extremely greedy.

It was not an obsession, turning him into someone who would kill other humans for it. He had gotten used to seeing corpses so much that now he would see them as a number of bodies instead of creatures who used to once live and breathe like him. This shocked him extremely, as he questioned his own mindset.

But in his opinion, it would be even worse to let a carcass rot somewhere and waste its death. Shane decided to continue waiting for the stalemate in front of him to end.

Time passed slowly and even after five minutes, he saw no chances of the stalemate ending. These five minutes felt like an eternity to Shane who was bored to death as he had expected some action.

Since he had entered the primordial dimension, the last five minutes had been the most boring ones stretching as if they were multiple days.

When Shane thought it was finally over, a somewhat pained howling coursed through the whole cave. The purple furred wolf's ears pricked up as they heard the howling that shook the cave slightly.

And only a moment later an odd roar could be heard vibrating through the cavern rooms, which was equally painful, making Shane wonder what was going on.

Now both the scaled lizards and purple furred wolves seemed to grow impatient as they charged at each other, breaking the stalemate without hesitating for a single moment.

Shane wanted to walk further down the cave and observe a battle between two awakened beasts. He had never seen a life and death battle between such beasts, but he was still held up with dozens of wild and elite stage beasts, frustrating him.

It wasn't that the battle in front of him was boring, rather it was extremely exciting to witness a fight with dozens of beasts trying to overwhelm each other.

Each race used its strengths to the maximum while trying to figure out the flaws of its opponents without sustaining too many injuries.

Wild and Elite stage beasts couldn't be considered extremely intelligent but their instincts were what made them strong. Additionally, their subconscious tactical agreement with their own brethren shocked Shane every time he fought beasts.

There were always exceptions but the pack of purple furred wolves fought together as one entity, which was a satisfying sight in Shane's opinion.

Nevertheless, the affinity advantage of the scaled lizards was just too huge. It seemed as if the purple furred wolves were about to lose as barely more than ten of them were left alive.

Their morale plummeted and they were about to retreat when Shane suddenly appeared behind the scaled lizard group of slightly more than 15 lizards.

Due to their tactical agreement, the injured scaled lizards supported the less injured scaled lizards from the back. Meanwhile, Shane calculated his chances as a cultivator at the 8th Mortal stage with a 7th Mortal physique, and his lips curled up.

He got an adrenaline rush and he wanted to join the fight, as he didn't want to be a bystander anymore.

It wasn't that late-Wild stage scaled lizards or other beasts were too weak. But Shane's high combat experience that he had accumulated since he was eight in addition to [Artemis' Blessing] passive inherited skill [Hunter's Mind] allowed him to think calmly.

Furthermore, [Artemis' Blessing] had enlarged his mana pool from the time his journey began, elevating his mana pool size from that of a normal 8th Mortal stage cultivator.

In the end, he pondered if he should join the fray or not, but almost all of the remaining scaled lizards and purple furred wolves were injured. Their combat prowess had decreased by a large margin, and Shane had come to a decision.

Shane's presence was barely noticed by a heavily injured elite stage breezy scaled lizard as he sneaked up behind it and slit the beast's throat. A huge fountain of blood splattered on his face and the tier-1 shiolite dagger turned crimson red, as the breezy scaled lizard's lifeless body collapsed on the ground with a rather dull *thump*

Shane knew that the assassination would be noticed so he circulated mana within his lower body in order to accelerate again. He was ready when the next seriously injured scaled beast roared at him.

Noticing that they still had a chance and the arrival of a mysterious new combatant who helped them, the purple furred wolves decided to charge towards the scaled lizards once again.

This was their last try to change the tides once again and the distraction caused by the bipedal being behind their arch-enemies had benefited them.
