Eternal Cultivation of Alchemy

otect himself.

This was the first time the yellow fog that could consume everything was useless.

”What do I do? ” he thought worriedly.

Off to the side, Godslayer stared towards the sky.
It was just a crystal ball with a small black fire in the middle, but anyone could tell that it was staring into the sky.

Alex didn ’t see the artifact spirit at first, but he did notice it once he heard the deep growling coming from it.

He turned to look at it and saw a crimson black flame erupt at its center.
Alex somehow could feel what it was feeling even without being connected to it in any way.

The spirit ’s very existence was giving off emotions that were influencing Alex as well.
So, he could tell what it was feeling.

Hatred.

”Screw Off! ” A deep regal voice, like that born from an emperor, came from the artifact spirit.
It wasn ’t something Alex had ever heard from the Godslayer.

It was as if he was getting a glimpse into the past when the spirit was at its peak.
Or perhaps… from even further back.

Alex wanted to think more about the artifact spirit ’s voice, but the instant relief he felt in his mind immediately took away his attention.

”I ’m… free? ” he thought.

The intent that was coming to attack him was no longer there.

”You can ’t fight off someone ’s intent with that devour technique of yours.
The only way to fight one ’s intent is through your own intent. ” The spirit ’s voice had returned to normal, no longer the same regal voice Alex had just heard.

”In a clash of intent, whichever one is stronger, is the one that manages to survive, ” the artifact spirit spoke.

”You… managed to destroy it? ” Alex asked.

”It was just a part of the real intent, whittled down through centuries.
If you knew what you had to do, you could also fight against it, ” the spirit said.
”Of course, you won ’t make it out without harm. ”

Alex nodded.
Having just read a single word in the stele was enough for the intent to nearly destroy his mind.
That made Alex wonder just what would happen if he did know the entire language.

He decided not to think about it and looked towards Godslayer.
”You… you were angry at the intent.
Is there a reason? ” he asked.

”Yes, ” the sword spirit said.
”That intent very likely belongs to one of my mortal enemies. ”

”Your mortal enemy? You mean the gods? ” Alex asked.

”Yes… and no, ” the spirit said as it continued staring into the sky.
”It is most likely a god whose intent that is, but… this hatred I feel, it feels more personal.
I don ’t know why. ”

Alex wanted to ask some more, but he didn ’t know what to ask.
The Godslayer ’s fire suddenly waned as it got weaker.

”I… I used a bit of energy to use my intent there.
I overexerted myself.
Would you mind getting me something to eat? ” the sword spirit asked.

What the spirit ate in his mind was the remnant spirit of the beasts that remained in their beast core after they died.
Whenever Alex ate a core to cultivate, the artifact spirit would be the first to feast on it.

Alex nodded when he heard the spirit wanted something to eat.
Since it had helped Alex survive, he wouldn ’t deny it.

Besides, he was getting closer and closer to a breakthrough.
It was about time to eat some of them anyway.

He came back outside and found a group of people hovering around him, worried about him as he had screamed and apparently fell unconscious.

Alex got back up and thanked them for coming to his aid.
After telling them he was okay, he left.

Alex felt thankful that he had Godslayer to help him.
He was happy that in what could be considered his wisest choice yet, he didn ’t read the human language.

He had been planning to teach it to his masters and others here, but if he were to do that, he would need to first cover up the stele completely.

He decided to do exactly that and went to talk with the Sect master about it.
