Awakening of the Ancient: Rise of the Fallen

Xu Ming saw a group of 3 Peak Gold Realm Beasts using his Divine Sense.

The beasts were sitting near a lake.

All 3 of them were Lightning Leopards that were known for their lightning-fast speed.

Their claws had the power to paralyze the person they scratched. They were known as one of the most dangerous beasts to face if someone didn't know about their specialty.

A person scratched by them had no chance of winning a battle as he wouldn't even be able to move a finger because of the paralysis.

Xu Ming walked towards the lake slowly.

No matter how much he wanted to be stealthy, but it was impossible as there was no place on the ground that wasn't covered in dry leaves. Every step of his resonated with a cracking sound.

Xu Ming reached near the lake, but the Lightning Leopards had already noticed him.

Xu Ming held his sword firmly in both his hand and closed his eyes. He wanted to entirely rely on his Divine Sense as he knew that his eyes might lose their sight because of their high speed, but his Divine Sense will never forget it.

He noticed all one Lightning Leopard jumping towards him. The other 2 Lightning Leopards stayed behind as if they were sure that one of them was enough to deal with the weak-looking boy in front of them.

"Heavenly Vajra Finger!"

Xu Ming straight away used his strongest skill.

A giant golden finger made entirely from Origin Energy appeared before him and started moving towards the Lightning Leopard.

Even though the Leopard was fast, the Heavenly Vajra Finger was even faster.

It was a god grade skill, filled with destructive power. The disturbance could be felt in the surroundings just because of the existence of this Heavenly Vajra Finger.

The Lightning Leopard was mid-air, with no way to move.

The Heavenly Vajra Finger hit the Lightning Leopard. He was killed in an instant, and his dead body was tossed to the side. 

The Heavenly Vajra Finger still didn't stop, though.

The attack of the Heavenly Vajra Finge continued ahead. It struck the two remaining Lightning Leopards that were sitting just behind.

They hadn't expected that things would change so fast. They didn't even have the time to dodge before the Heavenly Vajra Finger struck them.

The 2nd Leopard was killed as well, but the power of the skill had weakened as it reached the 3rd Lightning Leopard.

The 3rd Lightning Leopard was hit as well, but it wasn't killed. It was lying on the ground. Its body was bleeding, and most of its bones were broken, but it was still breathing.

Xu Ming walked to the Heavenly Leopard. The Leopard's weak eyes never left the sight of Xu Ming.

Xu Ming stopped before the Leopard.

Without looking in the Leopard's eyes, Xu Ming swung his sword and killed the Last Lightning Leopard.

The eyes of the Lightning Leopard closed as it died.

Xu Ming kept its body in the Storage Ring that was given to him by the Sect Master. He walked to the other bodies and kept them in the ring as well.

After doing all this, he climbed on top of one of the branches of the trees and started recollection of his Origin Energy.

He had depleted half his energy to cast that skill. He didn't want to go to other hunts without his full strength.

"That was a God Grade Skill, wasn't it? Amazing. I thought that only the high position people in the Heavenly Realm were allowed to learn it. You must've been from a well off family," Valeria said to Xu Ming.

She was surprised when she saw him use the skill. She didn't know that he would have an ability at that level. She wanted to ask him right then, but she didn't disturb him during the fight and waited for the right time.

"Yes," Xu Ming replied to get in a single word.

"Despite being from such a high-level family, you're down here. I guess you were right. Even though you weren't at my level, you were still the son of someone from a decently positioned family. Both of us are the prime example of falling from Heaven to Hell," Valeria said smilingly.

"I didn't ask it before, but what's your cultivation Realm?" Xu Ming asked Valeria. He wanted to change the topic as he didn't want to hear about how bad things were now.

"I'm at the Peak 2nd Spirit Warrior Realm," Valeria replied

"What's that? Do you guys have a different cultivation system compared to us?" Xu Ming asked her.

"Of course. Did you just realize that? Spirit Fairies have a different cultivation realm," Valeria replied.

"Can you make it easy for me and talk in terms that I can understand? What is the 2nd Spirit Warrior Realm equivalent to?" Xu Ming asked.

"It's somewhat similar to where you are at right now. My cultivation realm is similar to yours. We aren't as lucky as the Heavenly Realm kids who are at the high cultivation realm right from the birth," Valeria replied.

"Oh, so you can help me kill the beasts if you're in the same realm as me," Xu Ming said to her.

"I can't. I don't know any offensive skills of Spirit Fairies," Valeria said with an embarrassed look in his face.

"You don't? You should have access to them all. You are the daughter of the Queen."

Xu Ming looked at her in confusion. He couldn't understand why he didn't learn offensive skills. She had a position, so she should have been able to. He did realize that he didn't know much about the Spirit Fairy race, but it was still strange.

"I didn't like learning the skills. I didn't like fighting and killing. I especially hated the skills that helped people kill each other, so I didn't learn them," Valeria replied to him.

"That... I guess people have different convections. I can't blame you for having a different way of thinking. What skills do you know then?" Xu Ming asked her.

"I know many skills. I did learn most of the high-grade skills that are non-offensive, so I can definitely be of help here, but I can't kill any beast," Valeria replied.

"Alright. Tell me the skills so that I can come up with the more effective plan of action," Xu Ming told her.
