Eye System

Lex sat at the entrance of the cave waiting for Angela's breakthrough to finally be complete and he knew that she was at a crucial part of her breakthrough, so sat silently and awaited the shockwave.

While doing so, he entered the Mental Space within his Third Eye and found the dark shadow figure of Ashura and the Eye Demon, and both of them had an aura of evil and power around them.

However that no longer scared Lex and after the Soul Fusion, they both reached a mutual understanding and a pact of sorts. That also meant that he had nothing to worry about with Ashura as he was under the control of the Eye Demon.

"How has it been, missed me already," asked Lex as he walked over to the two figures.

"Ha kid, I have lived your entire life thousands of times over, years of your life pass to me like hours," said the Eye Demon as he burst out into laughter.

"Well in all that time, you still ended up becoming the soul in my Third Eye and the source of power for a kid" mocked Lex.

"Hahaha, that was a low blow. At least I don't need to rely on someone else power for everything and always cry over small things that happened" retorted the Eye Demon as they both continued to curse each other.

After a while, they both couldn't help but burst into laughter and although they were both cursing each other, the Eye Demon enjoyed Lex's visits as with Ashura, he couldn't enjoy himself as much.

"So when are you leaving this dump, I can't stand the thin energy in the atmosphere. You are progressing well and have become very skilled in the use of the Hell Blaze Flame, but you are still too weak to leave the Lower Plains" said the Eye Demon.

"We will be leaving in the next few days and after I sort out everything in the Lower Plains, explore and gain enough strength, I will leave it.  But I don't even know what the next plain is, how many there are, how to reach them and so many other things. These are all things that I will find out along my journey and soon you can finally get the revenge that you have been waiting to complete" answered Lex.

The Eye Demon nodded his head and was glad that Lex didn't ask him for all the answers, as it was best for him to find it out for himself.

"It seems your friend is on the verge of breaking through now, so get out of here for now. I will assist you if you call on my power, but do not become reliant on it and aim to use your own power unless you have no other choice" stated the Eye Demon as he released a small amount of his aura.

A small amount of the Originator Eye Demon's aura was enough to overwhelm Lex and he had no choice but to retract his consciousness as he cursed the Eye Demon for not letting him get a final word in.

Opening his eyes, he could see a tense expression on Angela's face as she reached the final stage of her breakthrough where she would spread all the energy around her body and increase the size of her energy storages and the density of her energy.

After a few minutes, there was a sudden burst of cold energy around Angela and since the cave was blocking off the energy, the only way it would leave the cave was out of the mouth of the cave where Lex was stood.

[It's finally time] thought Lex to himself as he stood with his palms out and faced the shockwave of energy head-on.

Activating the Fire Manipulation Eye and streaming large amounts of Internal Energy into his Hell Blaze Flame Seed that was an extension and weaker version of the real flame, he formed a barrier of black and red fire around the cave.

Lex had tested the Hell Blaze Flame on almost everything and if he had the intention for something to be burnt and consumed by the flame, as long as he was providing the flame enough energy, it would continue to burn until whatever he was burning was consumed by the fire.

However, one thing he was yet to try it on was somebody else's energy, which was why he didn't keep Angela in his Portable Sub-Dimension as he was unsure whether or not he would be able to handle the shockwave with his Hell Blaze Flame.

Despite the element of Angela's energy countering that of Lex's fire elemental energy, the Hell Blaze Flames had no counters and was the counter to all other kinds of attacks.

To lex's surprise, Angela's shockwave was easily consumed by the flame barrier that he set up around the cave. After a few seconds of Angela releasing large amounts of cold energy that was powerful enough to easily kill a Heaven Mortal, it stopped and Lex had hardly used any energy or power to stop it.

It was easy for him to form a barrier out of flames with his Fire Manipulation Eye, but he hadn't expected that it would so easily be able to consume Angela's aura and powerful energy burst.

Taking down the flame barrier, Lex found Angela inside with a frightened expression, clearly intimidated by the flame barrier around the cave that had a terrifying aura.

It made her feel as though she was being burnt alive and the aura of the flame alone was enough to instantly take down Heaven Mortals and overwhelm Golden Mortals.

"What kind of flame is that?" asked Angela, who hadn't seen Lex's battle with the demonic cultivation master.

Lex shrugged and avoided her question as he congratulated her on breaking through.

She could see that his congratulations were genuine, but she felt quite annoyed and disappointed by how weak she was in comparison to Lex.
