Transmigration: Children of The Plane

Severance

Meanwhile, back at the city square, multiple beams of light flew in before landing on the stage, seemingly out of breath.

It was obvious that they used all of their might to reach the city square at full speed.

And as the figures landed, everyone in the crowd could recognize their extremely prominent robes.

They were all Core Elders, on the same level as Elder Yang!

However, instead of doing anything that would resemble their identities or strength, they all started looking around the stage like a child during an Easter Egg hunt. But soon, they all became confused after seeing no one else on the stage but Luo Ye.

After seeing no one else on the stage but Luo Ye, one of the figures couldn't hold in his curiosity and grabbed the Inner Disciple.

"Luo Ye, where was the prodigy that activated the God tier grade from the Sword Law Jade Stone!" He shouted, nearly turning Luo Ye, a Dhamra Idol Realm cultivator, deaf.

However, Luo Ye struggled to respond to the Core Elder's question. After all, he was just about concussed from the shout.

"Dammit, Old Long! You damn near killed the boy." An old female voice sounded, and before the man could respond, the accompanying figure appeared between the two.

"Luo Ye, ignore that brute of a man." The kind old lady spoke as she poured some of her Spiritual Qi into Luo Ye's body, suppressing the injuries he suffered from Old Long's shout.

And very soon, Luo Ye regained consciousness, and he soon managed to answer the question that almost killed him.

"Elder Song, the person that activated the God tier grade, was Young Duke Xue. But right after he did so, he ran off like he couldn't wait to do something." Luo Ye answered.

"Why didn't you stop him, you fool!" Old Long once again bombarded Luo Ye with high-pressure soundwaves, but this time instead of accidentally, it seemed more purposeful.

It was apparent that Old Long was rather angry at Luo Ye's foolish decision.

Thankfully this time, Elder Song managed to protect Luo Ye in time, stopping the same situation from happening once more.

"Old Long, do that one more time, and I will ban you from the Alchemy Pavilion!" Elder Song was about to lose it.

And that threat seemed to finally suppress the volcano known as Old Long, as after Elder Song said that, he became as quiet as a kitten.

"Luo Ye, while Old Long was harsh with his words, he still is right. How could you let such a prodigy out of your sight?" Elder Song translated Old Long's words in a more gentle manner.

"How could I stop the Young Duke?" Luo Ye bitterly replied, "Not only was I still in shock myself, but even if I wasn't, how dare I hold him back?

Xue Bai was the only child of possibly the most influential couple on the Southern Continent. And it is more than well-known that Li Rou and Xue Feng doted on him more than anything.

While Luo Ye could've been kind and gently told Xue Bai to stay back, what if that angered the Young Duke?

The gains didn't outweigh the losses, so Luo Ye let Xue Bai do his own business.

"Then do you know what happened just before Xue Bai reached the God tier grade? Did he look as if he had lost his soul before coming back with a much different temperament?" Elder Song spoke solemnly, slightly startling Luo Ye.

Hearing the odd question, Luo Ye thought for a moment, recalling what happened at the end. And similar to her words, while slight, something like that did happen to Xue Bai.

"Now that you mention that Elder Song, Young Duke Xue's temperament and even his entire bearing did suddenly change at the end. If I didn't lose sight of him the entire time, I would've guessed it was an entirely different person." Luo Ye spoke as if he was suddenly enlightened.

After Luo Ye spoke, the rest of the Elders who came along with Elder Song immediately changed expressions.

"Old Long, find Xue Bai now! We can't let anything happen to him!" Elder Song spoke up.

While Old Long was brash and a brute, he was also not only the strongest but also the most loyal Elder that came along. So Elder Song fully trusted him to do the job right.

Nodding seriously, Old Long spread his Spiritual Sense out before instantly flying off in the direction Xue Bai left in while the other Elders followed.

However, as all of the Core Elders started a manhunt for Xue Bai, he was off in his own world, trying to find something to fight.

"Big Wang, find a demonic beast at the Peak stage of the Bone Strengthening Realm!" Xue Bai ordered Wang Shu as they finally arrived at the Thousand Beasts Forest.

The Thousand Beasts Forest was a large expansive forest that covered almost 1/8 of the Southern Continent. However, while it was extremely large, it only mostly covered the southern part of the continent, making it rather barren of Spiritual Qi, greatly affecting the strengths of the demonic beasts within.

After all, only with more Spiritual Qi could a demonic beast grow. And by living in a barren region, even reaching the Qi Sea Realm would be hard, while advancing any further would be almost impossible.

And because of that, Xue Bai knew that it was also the best place to test out his new strength.

Previously he could only fight four stages above himself, so with his 3rd stage, Bone Strengthening Realm cultivation, Xue Bai could potentially fight something in the 7th stage.

However, now with Sword Law, Xue Bai's confidence swelled, and he was almost ready to declare himself invincible in the Bone Strengthening Realm. But first, he needed to test out his claim before announcing it to the world.

So what better way to do that than to fight something at the peak of the Bone Strengthening Realm?

Big Wang, while he was slightly apprehensive at the idea of letting Xue Bai fight something so much stronger than him, couldn't deny his Young Master's request. So after some internal pacification, Big Wang spread out his Spiritual Sense in search of a demonic beast that matched Xue Bai's request.

Worst comes to worst, he and Little Wang could suppress the demonic beast before it could do any everlasting harm to Xue Bai. Fights on their level were almost in slow motion, so they would be able to reach in time should anything go amiss.

Without his several mile-long Spiritual Sense, Big Wang was easily able to find a demonic beast that matched Xue Bai's request. And luckily for his heart, it was something that had just broken through to the peak of the stage, meaning that it was much weaker than other demonic beasts in the same stage.

"Young Master, I found a Flame Salamander at the Peak stage of the Bone Strengthening Realm as you wished. Would you like me to bring it here or take us to it?" Big Wang asked respectfully.

Thinking for a moment, Xue Bai chose the former. Why should he go so far and fight something when Big Wang could spend less time and bring the demonic beast right to him?

Big Wang, complying with Xue Bai's request, disappeared from his position at a speed that Xue Bai couldn't register in search of the Flame Salamander.

And before long, Big Wang returned with the aforementioned beast levitating next to him.

The Flame Salamander was a rather ugly and dirty demonic beast that usually lived in mud all of its life, so Big Wang was rather reluctant to touch it like he did the other beasts he would personally fetch for Xue Bai.

"Young Master, would you like me to suppress it?" Big Wang asked after he tossed the Flame Salamander onto the ground.

"No need. I want to test something." Xue Bai waved his concern, "But pay attention and be ready to step in."

Nodding, both Big Wang and Little Wang backed off, letting Xue Bai experiment.

Instead of using Fire Breath to fight the Flame Salamander, Xue Bai did something different.

Extending his middle and pointer finger out, Xue Bai concentrated on it by using his newly comprehended Sword Law. And to his command, an illusory purple blade manifested from his finger, almost as if a sword had been created.

While Sword Law was a general term for anyone who had taken the first step in Sword Cultivation, it varied from person to person.

One Sword Cultivator could comprehend any type of Sword Law from a Fire-based one or even a Righteous variant. However, no matter how different or obscure a Sword Law variant was, they were all even in strength. After all, the strength of the Sword Law depended on who the Sword Cultivator was.

And Xue Bai's Sword Law was heavily influenced by his Space Element. So using his previous experience of his Space Element, where Xue Bai would slice through any demonic beast like butter using it, Xue Bai comprehended a Spatial Sword Law that focused on Severance.

Xue Bai wanted to cut through anything, whether it was God, an Immortal, or a Devil, and whether it was arrogance or confidence, Xue Bai didn't know, but the more he comprehended his Sword Law, the easier it became. It was almost as if he had done it before. But since that wasn't possible, Xue Bai shook the idea out of his head.

"Severance." Xue Bai muttered before slashing out his conjured sword toward the still-concussed Flame Salamander.

The purple illusory sword, following Xue Bai's will like a dutiful servant, flew out at a speed that Xue Bai could barely trace before cutting the Flame Salamander in two. Even going as far as to fly past the Flame Salamander's body into the treeline, managing to slice almost a dozen trees before finally dissipating.

Xue Bai, after all, didn't put much Spiritual Qi into it, so it couldn't last long after flying away from him.

Seeing his new prowess, Xue Bai was more than ecstatic, but before he could show his emotions, almost a dozen figures flew over, landing in front of Xue Bai and his group.

It was the Core Elders who finally managed to find Xue Bai.

However, instead of mentioning their purpose of coming over, they were all slack-jawed at Xue Bai's act of strength.

"Dear God. Just what have we recruited?" Old Long muttered, not all hiding his shock.

"A monster Old Long. A monster." Elder Song responded.
