The rise of the pervert primordial-Chapter 675: The fight for the main distortion (part 3)
After the initial shock of seeing their four seas of knowledges being almost equaled in size by a single enemy, the leasing female elder, in other words the woman called Sandra who has the black water sea, snorted to then say.
"Calm down, I can feel her actively releasing spirit energy".
The previous worried expressions on the faces of the other three, instantly disappeared and instead they looked rather angered.
"Sly bitch, I was really scared for a second…", said one of the two early-stage Sea of Knowledge realm female elders.
"Yeah, she already showed such a brutal physical strength earlier, it would have been too much if her Sea of Knowledge was naturally so big".
'How dare you she try and trick me, I'll make sure to thoroughly get back at her later!', inwardly swore the leading male elder, Kurt.
In case you wonder why they suddenly calmed down, when Sandra said that she felt the ligress girl was actively releasing spirit energy, the answer will come in a second.
"Booom!", the four elders exploded in spirit energy and then the "seas" that enveloped them, expanded in a matter of seconds, they went from being three, five and two hundred meters respectively, to 1.3, 1.5 and 1.2 kilometers, which would make the total space they covered to be around 5 kilometers.
This is what happens when a cultivator actively releases spirit energy to assist the manifestation of their sea of knowledge, the total size will expand, of course the size that counts is the one before doing so as that is the natural size that doesn't require a cultivator to put in any effort to create.
While the expanded size, does need them to use spirit energy, which is why they were originally horrified as they thought the enemy's sea of knowledge naturally had one kilometer of size, but now they disdained her, since they couldn't notice it at first glance, which meant that she was probably using some sort of stealth technique to trick others.
As to why Sandra was able to see through it, that's because she has the highest realm in their secondary path, which just like all the other female elders and disciples of the Pleasure Palace, the soul path, so her senses were stronger than that of the other three.
Leaving that aside, now that those four had expanded their seas of knowledge, the previous standoff between their seas and the one being radiated by the white-haired woman, was broken, rightfully so since they surpassed hers in a one to five ratio.
In fact, they forced her sea of knowledge backwards by a total of four hundred meters, in a single go.
"Be careful and protect elder Kurt…", while Sandra was in the middle of giving orders, she saw the enemy's eyes glow for a second before she suddenly disappeared from where she was floating, which was a familiar scene.
"Corroding Wave!", with a loud shout, a giant wave of black water expanded with Sandra as the center, making fierce contact with "something" less than a second later.
"Booom!", an explosion came from the middle part of Sandra's sea of knowledge, when her attack clashed with Mira who had already charged halfway through it in a fraction of a second.
"What are you waiting for, do you want to fight that brute in close combat or what!", she yelled at her juniors who immediately followed up with attacks of their own.
"Cold Wave!", the two early-stage Sea of Knowledge realm elders shouted in unison, producing a pair of dark blue spirit energy waves that impacted at the spot where Mira was clashing against Sandra's attack.
"Booom!", with a thunderous explosion, the three attacks exploded, forcing Mira out of Sandra's sea of knowledge.
'She fights like a damn body cultivator, while being a main energy path one, what the hell', cursed Sandra in a voice that only the other leader, in other words Kurt could hear.
Since main body path cultivators, naturally don't have a sea of knowledge, though they do get to have a Genesis Core when reaching the Genesis Manifestation realm, when clashing with their counterparts at the Sea of Knowledge realm, they can't fight the same way they do.
When Sea of Knowledge realm cultivators face off, they do so in two fronts, first and formal they clash their seas of knowledge and then they exchange attacks at long distance, and that's what the expansion is used for.
Since they can't simply remain static while being shot wide area energy attacks, they need a larger space to move while still being protected by their seas of knowledge and that's the origin of using expansion.
However, body path cultivators can't do that, it's not like there aren't some who had reached the Sea of Knowledge realm in their secondary energy paths, but those guys are at the Heavenly realms in their main one, so they would not change their fighting style at that point, they basically use the energy path as a way to further empower their body path.
So, a body path cultivator, basically dives head on into the sea of knowledge of an energy path enemy and then brute force their way towards their targets while enduring both the pressure caused by the enemy's sea of knowledge and the bombardment they use to fight at the same time.
And Mira did something similar, with the difference that since she does have a sea of knowledge, Sandra felt hers being invaded quite fiercely as Mira advanced through it.
'Fucking crazy bitch, how the hell did she not end up turning into mincemeat due to the clash of energies at point blank, you know something about it right, Kurt?', she asked, making the male elder inwardly grit his teeth, unfortunately since the cat was out of the bag he had no option but to explain why he was so keen in capturing Mira alive, instead of killing her as he was supposed to do.
'She… has an innately really high vitality', he limited to say, which made Sandra's eyes glow in surprise.
'And here I thought you simply were entranced by her face, considering that you are one of the most lustful bastards at the sect below the peak of the Transcending realms, but turns out she is quite something'.
Then and as Kurt expected and feared so, Sandra casually added.
'I want to revise the terms of our deal, you can still have her for whatever shaddy stuff you are planning, but I want to get blood from her every week for as long as she remains alive, high vitality yin resources are something that let alone us, but even the Matriarch would go to any length in order to obtain after all'.
'Damn it… fine but you must swear to not tell anyone about this, I won't even tell my father, because if a word of it gets out, we won't even figure in the list to obtain the benefits', said Kurt to which Sandra nodded.
'Of course, I'm not stupid, leave this side to me, considering how you have been secretly gathering spirit energy, you have something to deal with her, without the need of killing her, right?', she said, making Kurt abandon any thoughts of stabbing Sandra in the back in order to not share the benefits with her.
'Her senses are too sharp damn it', he thought for himself as he said.
'Yeah, it's part of the "shaddy stuff" you mentioned, I need a couple of minutes to prepare it, if you obtain them for me, then I'll give you a bigger share of the benefits.
'Deal!', with an excited light burning in her eyes, Sandra flashed away to reunite with her juniors who have been releasing wide area attacks one after another in order to keep the enemy at the outer area of the combined four seas of knowledge on their side.
Naturally, since they haven't fought as a team before, they lacked a way to directly combine their seas of knowledge, but pressing them together without causing any conflict was still within their possibilities, since the manuals they trained in had key similarities due to them belonging to the same sect.
That's the only reason as to why those two ere able to keep Mira at the first two kilometers of the combined area covered by their seas of knowledge, which were conformed by those two's spirit energies.
"S-Senior sister, no matter how much we bombard her, she doesn't show any sign of stopping her charge, and we haven't been able to wound her", said the first of the two.
"Y-Yeah, it's as if her body is made of steel, our cold-water spirit energy is not getting to her at all", added the second one.
"Of course it's not having any real effect besides stalling her, she is a damn ice attributed cultivator, so the coldness in your water spirit energy won't do anything to her", said Sandra while inwardly looking down on those two, naturally she kept a composed and dignified front as she added.
"However, unlike my black water spirit energy, yours does have a strong impacting force, so while I take the vanguard you two will support my attacks like earlier when we forced her out of the middle area covered by our seas of knowledge, okay?".

"Yes!", they immediately agreed to follow Sandra's orders, they already respected her as she was the senior that guided them since they joined the sect and she was offering to be the spearhead against such a "brute" enemy that was obviously looking for a close combat confrontation, in other words she'll be at constant danger while they provide support from the back.
A strange light flashed through Sandra's eyes, but those two didn't notice it, since their senior had already flashed away to appear around one kilometer away from the enemy.
"Crack!", Mira who just tore away the energy attacks used by the two early-stage Sea of Knowledge realm elders with her bare hands, saw the woman who blocked her way towards her target earlier appear and she snorted.
"And here I thought I had to deal with the small trash before getting to the big ones, this is better, I can speed things up like this", said the ligress girl, to which Sandra answered with a smirk.
"The fact that I had come all the way to this place, doesn't mean I'm going to fight like you".
"I'm sure of that", disdainfully said the ligress girl, giving off a familiar vibe for Sandra.
'She is like that bastard, one after another how dare you look down on us!', she inwardly swore in her heart, naturally the previous sarcastic retort made Sandra be reminded of how Aster toyed with their disciples.
Among the many that Aster casually cut down along the way, there were some girls from her family, which is also a part of the reason as to why she volunteered to go deal with the Lord of the Twin Sword Valley, naturally she did so knowing full well that the elders from a lower ranked force like them, won't be the ones directly dealing with their target, as the Fey, the Supreme Elemental sect and the Redheart had lost much more than them, their face included.
'Be as arrogant as you want, everything you have will be mine later on anyway', she thought as she calmed down to then take out her spirit weapon, a black metallic whip, which she then lashed at the vicinity.
"Black Ripple!", her black metal whip made the sea of knowledge of those two undulate before it actually dragged away some of the spirit energy that conformed them, to then throw it at the enemy.
"Cold Slash!", and that wasn't all, a pair of dark blue flashes accompanied Sandra's attack closely behind, they were attacks from the pair of early-stage Sea of Knowledge realm elders.
The combo of attacks left Mira with no choice but to meet them head on or retreat, which was the goal at which Sandra aimed, unfortunately she misunderstood something about the ligress girl who appeared to be a quite serious and composed person, well she actually is like that.
Mira is a complex existence, half a spirit ice and half a spirit beast, which normally means she is balanced, having her wild beastly instincts suppressed by her spirit ice ascendence, however, the Mira of right now is less of a spirit ice due to all the torture she went through and much more of a spirit beast.
In part because she used her spirit beast side to prevent those guy's spirit array from controlling her and in part because… of Aster, it might be informal since Aster didn't properly seal the deal, but he learned and spoke her true name, so she technically was in the process of becoming his contracted spirit beast.
And that combined with the fact that her spirit beast side was running wild due to all the stimulation it has had over the past years and the fact that Mira's divine energy is running low and she has started to adapt to use spirit energy instead, resulted in the ligress girl becoming much more "temperamental".
Far from the ligress girl's battlefield, Aster slightly smirked at Mira's direction as he amusedly thought.
'How cute, enjoy the "scratching posts" I prepared for you', he earlier sent a little "motivating" message to the ligress girl, which is why she suddenly changed from simply wanting to vent her anger on those guys to being genuinely interested in beating them up.
Of course, Aster being who he is, said message was basically full teasing as in he casually said "Eris and Mylene finished adapting all their available techniques for the Mortal realm and are now working in improving them, if you don't catch up with them by the end of this mission, I'll sit you in my lap to brush those fluffy ears and tail of yours as a punishment~".
And that completely fired up the ligress girl, since he hit all the correct spots, first of all her pride as a talented princess herself, second, she being treated like a cat and third and more importantly, Aster obviously going out of his way to mess with her on purpose.
And with that Mira decided to change her angle, she was going to use these guys to adapt all the techniques she had available and then use them to beat that pervert for "coveting" her ears and tail and with that idea in mind, the ligress girl started with the most basic one.
"Freezing Claw!", with a fierce but mellow voice, Mira's pretty nails enlarged a bit and then gained a white tone, before she clawed at the incoming attacks, releasing five white-blue slashing lights from her nails.
"Hssssss!", first of all, the three water attributed attacks from the enemies, instantly turned into ice blocks.
"Crack!", and then the slashing lights ripped the ice blocks apart, turning them into frozen debris that then fell from the sky but the attack didn't stop there and instead cut through a few hundreds of meters of the sea of knowledge of the enemies, freezing and then ripping apart the spirit energy in their path, resulting in a large gap in the amalgam of sea of knowledges of those two.
"What the hell, she is not a main body path cultivator, so how is she doing that!", exclaimed one of the two as she injected more spirit energy into her sea of knowledge to fill in the gap.
Luckily, unlike a Genesis Core, having a sea of knowledge being forcefully dispelled wouldn't cause damage to a cultivator, though they will end up in a lethargic state if too much damage was done to them.
'Damn it, her attribute has too much of an advantage over these two', thought Sandra as she tensed her whip between her hands.
"Tsk, fine I'll do it myself then".
"Corroding…", unfortunately midway through her attack, white mist clouds appeared on Mira's ankles as she mumbled.
"Snowcloud Step", with those words, the ligress girl turned into a white blur that crossed three-quarters of the distance between herself and those three, before Sandra who was the highest ranked in the soul path among them, finally reacted.
"Black Spiral Whip!", with a rushed voice, Sandra rotated her whip around the three of them and her black water spirit energy coated her spirit weapon, producing a whirlpool just in time for Mira to appear in front of them.
"Frostbite!", Mira pressed her hands together entwining her fingers in the process and as a result, two giant ice plaques with spikes on their sides manifested out of thin air to "bite" those three by pressing against them from opposite sides.
'Tsk, as I expected this is really nothing like "White Fang Suppression", damn mortal version of divine energy…', cursed the ligress girl in her heart as he saw the completely unrefined form that one of her favorite spirit techniques had taken in order for her to be able to use it with just spirit energy.
That being said, she instantly realized that this version of her technique had an incredibly high potential to exploit, in fact she might even be able to surpass the strength produced by the original technique in her prime!
"Crack!", as a sign of the previous, the ice plaques immediately caused the defensive technique of Sandra, to crack.
"Damn it, you two what are you waiting for, blast her attack away by exploding this part of your expanded seas!", she yelled at her juniors who actually hesitated for a change, though they wouldn't suffer any harm, it will still take them quite some time to grow their expansion back if they self-destroyed it themselves.
"Hurry up damn it, my defense won't last any longer!", yelled Sandra as she felt the pressure forcing her spirit treasure closer to them, in a few more seconds they might be strangled to death by the defense that was keeping them from harm as of current.
"Cold Maelstrom!", having no more time to hesitate, both of the early-stage Sea of Knowledge elders bit the bullet and in unison blew the surrounding area of their sea of knowledge, which amounted to around a size if four hundred meters in total.
"Boooom!", a sky-shattering explosion echoed through the battlefield, they actually managed to destroy the ice manifested by the ligress girl, but it was understandable, it was the first time Mira was using the fully "mortal" version of this technique.
So, it was unstable and those two used a fifth part of their expansion as an improved offensive spirit technique, the ice plaques were blasted away and even Mira was sent flying backwards by a whole kilometer.
"Phew!", the two early-stage Sea of Knowledge elders gasped for air, which made Sandra scold them.
"Get a grip you two, she is too fast, so we'll have to fight at middle range instead of long range like usual, use intent to further increase your reach so that she can't directly get to you", she said.
Based on what she saw, the white-haired girl didn't look as someone that used a spirit weapon, but instead fought directly with her own body.
And Sandra was right, the ligress girl didn't use any spirit weapon at least as far as Aster knew, but that is because she purposedly kept it a secret, in order to be able to take that pervert dragon youth by surprise at least once for a change.
But now, the "dignity" of her ears and tail was at stake so after weighing out her options, she decided to find another way to surprise Aster, that being said she didn't have a spirit weapon at her disposition, because of keeping herself quiet about it, meaning that she didn't receive one from Aster.
But that didn't stop the ligress girl, her hands started releasing white mist due to the decrease in the temperature as they were covered in ice which took the form of… brass knuckles?
