Eye System

Sparks flickered everywhere as Lex and the demonic cultivation master both activated their power-enhancing abilities and clashed blades mid-air.

Lex used all the techniques that he had learnt from his master's guide and also felt that wielding a sword was much easier and familiar to him as he had fused with the Eye Demon.

They were on even ground as they continued clashing blades and attempting to take each other down, but it seemed that it wasn't as even as Lex thought it was.

"You think you can defeat me with your weird abilities, you are overestimating yourself" roared the demonic cultivation master as he launched a powerful kick that struck Lex's chest and caused him to smash into the ground.

Lex wiped the small amount of blood that leaked from his mouth as he burst off his feet into the air and using Kano flew back towards the demonic cultivation master.

"Hell Blaze Flame" bellowed Lex as Ashura suddenly became ignited in a dark red flame that was hotter than anything that Lex had ever seen before.

But the flames were not harmful towards him and didn't affect his, as they only affected everything around it other than the wielder.

Engulfing Flame Slash

Lex knew that it wouldn't be long before the Soul Fusion was undone and the Third Eye began to cause his body backlash. Because of that, him and the Eye Demon, that had fused their souls, were activating their final skills to end the battle before they lost to the demonic cultivation master that was clearly at a higher cultivation level than Lex.

The Engulfing Flame Slash would form a blade of fire energy and fling it towards a target using a blade. However it wasn't any ordinary flame energy that formed the blade, and it was the fire energy of the Hell Blaze Flame which was a unique flame that was part of the Eye Demon.

It was a flame that could burn water itself and anything else, and wouldn't be extinguished until it had completely burnt its fuel and target that it made initial contact with, which could be the body of an opponent.

It was extremely difficult to put out and water would only add fuel to the fire as the only way to suppress or get rid of it was by sealing it or using a heavenly, holy or legendary item that was capable of countering its all-devouring power.

"Hahaha, we will see how you deal with this attack" mocked Lex as the Engulfing Flame Slash blitzed through the air and towards the demonic cultivation master.

'I can sense that this flame isn't normal and with his weird abilities, it is best for me to avoid this attack' thought the demonic cultivation master who could feel danger as the Engulfing Flame Slash approached him.

The demonic cultivation master, using as much speed as he could, moved to the side, but the flame that flew past him still managed to catch onto his clothing.

"It is over now, the Engulfing Flame can never be extinguished and you will be burnt to ashes within a matter of minutes" stated Lex, as the flame began to spread onto the demonic cultivator's left arm.

The demonic cultivation master began howling in pain as the flame slowly began to creep up his arm, but not giving him any time to relax or deal with the flame, Lex flew towards him.

"Its time for your death" roared Lex as he slashed towards the demonic cultivation master's neck with Ashura.

However just as he was about to cut off his head, he suddenly opened a gate through space and teleported to an unknown location.

[He seems to have used some escape treasure that is used in emergencies] observed Lex as he activated his Spacial Eye.

Using his Spacial Eye, Lex could see the gap in space and could follow after him if he wanted to, but he didn't know where he was going or what he was getting himself into and was in no shape for another battle.

The Soul Fusion, Third Eye and the activation of the Hell Blaze Flame to use the Engulfing Flame Slash had left Lex completely void of energy even after he had absorbed all the available energy in the area within 50 miles around him.

He was only bluffing against the demonic cultivation master and if he didn't become frightened by the Engulfing Flame Slash and continued their battle, he would have easily been able to defeat Lex who had thrown everything that he had at him.

Without any energy to provide Kano with, Kano could no longer hold Lex in the air with the small amount of energy that he had, as he fell falling to the ground like a meteor.

While falling the Soul Fusion was undone and the Eye Demon was disappointed that he wasn't able to absorb the power of the demonic cultivation master into the Third Eye, but he was pleased that he had unsealed and strengthened Ashura.

Crashing into the ground from such heights, Lex shook the ground slightly as his body completely shut down after it had been pushed massively past its limits following the Soul Fusion with the Eye Demon.

Meanwhile in a distant part of the Lower Plains in a base of the resurrected Blood Moon Demonic Sect, the Elder of the sect that fought Lex suddenly warped back to the sect.

"Master you have returned to soon and you are injured," said the subordinates worriedly as they saw the flame that was devouring his left arm.

'I only bought the escape treasure with me as a final measure, but luckily I did otherwise I probably would have died at the hand of that incredible bastard child' thought the demonic cultivation master furiously.

If he had his full power that he once had, he would have easily been able to destroy the entire continent that Lex was on, but he had been massively weakened and had only recently been resurrected by the followers of the Blood Moon Demonic Sect.

'This hatred will be repaid' vowed the Elder.
