Clearing The Iron Rank Dungeon

Sora slammed his fist into the side of a mountain, shooting backward and slamming into the side of the volcano, but from behind, he was hit. He shot forward, coughing up mouthfuls of blood, just as more attacks were to land on him, he quickly rolled to the side dodging the attacks and shot forward towards the monster which attacked him.

not too far away, the clan leaders and others were too stunned to move to help. before them, Sora was taken on 5 of the strongest monster within the dungeon, all alone. it had only been a few seconds, but it was more than enough for them to see a good show.

Sora's combat skills were something they were most shocked off. at first, it was clear he was someone who never had any life-or-death moment, but his skills became more and more refined, seemly trying to find the best way to kill,

A few snapped out of their state of shock and moved to go try and help Sora after all the sub-bosses were left before them. but to their shock, Yalan stopped them.

"... thats not Sora. wait for him to tire out or something before stepping in or else he might just attack us." Yalan said softly, this stunned many of them, but they didn't fight to rush forward, Yalan knew Sora best... right?

recordings were nothing special nowadays, a few of them couldn't help but record the sight before them. the prince was showing off his power, this would be the talk for months, who knows, maybe it would become a hot topic in other kingdoms as well...

Sora grabbed the string of life which was hidden behind a few trees in the back of the mountain and with a pull, the mountain became paralyzed and unable to move. Sora began to devour the string of life, while his shadow moved, entering the mountain shadow and beginning to devour its shadow to evolve.

the devouring of shadow was quick as the mountain wasn't resisting, but the string of life on the other hand needed a few seconds. but a few seconds to the eyes of Sora was more like a few hours, enough time for the enemy to attack him many times over.

Lava shot towards Sora, but the dragon death Qi moved to block it, and try and convert the lava into more death Qi. but the dragon was sent shooting backward, without Sora's full attention, it didn't have enough power to do so.

Sora seeing he was about to be hit moved, dodging the attack just at the right moment for it to slam into the mountain in front of him. the mountain was sent stumbling forward from the force of the attack, and fell heavily to the ground, shaking the world.

But form began, and a rock monster slammed into his back. Sora shot forward as the sounds of his bones cracking filled the world. Sora shot into the hard ground, this ground was hardened lava, and his slamming into it only caused more damage,

But he got up as the death Qi speed up his recovery speed. behind him, the rock monster appeared, wanting to attack him, but at the last moment it came to a stop, looking down, Sora's shadow was attached to the shadow, making the rock monster unable to move.

Death Qi exploded from Sora's body, swallowing the Rock Monster, and trying to turn into an undead. while this happened, Sora quickly dodged as the other monsters attacked, but Sora's attention suddenly turned toward the ground,

from the ground, lava exploded out, and a lava dragon shot out, swallowing the Sora. but before being swallowed, Sora threw the scythe into the sky, and once he was swallowed, the scythe came falling, cutting the string of life on the lava dragon.

as the lava dragon disappeared, Sora took hold of the scythe, but before he could move, an earth fist slammed into his chest. Sora's body bent like a bow before he was sent shooting back like an asteroid, but he quickly flew outwards towards the sky and stopped above the volcano, only to drop down, his eyes moving quickly, trying to find the string of life, but he couldn't find it.

The volcano shot lava into the sky to meet the incoming Sora, Sora quickly dodged, and once the lava stopped shooting up, he smiled as he saw something green within the volcano which was slowly gathering more lava.

the string of life was at the bottom of the volcano. So, when the volcano shot lava toward Sora, Sora's shadow appeared next to him, and with the two working together, they cut the lava in half, and pierced through the lava,

slowly the shadow began to disappear, and at the same time, Sora's body was being burned, but Sora didn't flick or show any care for any injuries, just excitement that he was about to take someone's life.

Once there was no more lava in front of him, Sora saw he was within the volcano, and Sora went on to open his mouth, and went on to devour the string of life. the volcano suddenly froze, paralyzed from having its life devoured.

Sora damaged shadow moved, taking hold of the volcano shadow, and began to devour it. for a time, the world was quiet, Yalan and the others who were far away waiting for something to happen, but seeing nothing happening, they grew restless.

Yalan shot forward followed by the others, even if they didn't want to, they had no choice if they failed to clear the dungeon, all the monsters they killed would swap, followed by them rushing out of the dungeon,

the chaos caused by that would affect many nearby cities. as they neared, they were of course targeted by the 4 sub-bosses, forcing them to have to fight them. the sub-bosses were not as strong as the real thing, but they were only a level below it in power.

Yalan alone could handle 1 sub-bosses, upon sensing that Sora was not dead within the volcano and that the volcano was growing weaker, she relaxed slightly. but she couldn't help but feel chills at the death Qi which remained in the hair.

'...' Sora blanked a few times while devouring the volcano life, he had regained his senses from devouring the string of life.

{yes, host, devouring life also counteracts the effect of absorbing Death Qi.} the system said making Sora feel annoyed,

'No Shit.' Sora replied, what was the point of telling him something he found out on his own? ignoring the system, Sora looked through the changes to his body. His Qi cultivation has increased to level 7 Energy Condensation.

while in battle, it allowed him to refine his energy faster, allowing him to quickly break through. and now, he was absorbing the volcano string of life and had already broken through to level 6 Iron rank, he was nearing a breakthrough to level 7 Iron rank.

In a few more seconds, he would have fully devoured the string of life, allowing him to reach level 7 Iron rank. don't for a second think his devour was slow, from start to now, it had barely been 1 second,

with such overwhelming power, once they go all out, time would of course slow down for them. and of course, if they remained in that state for long, they would age quicker.

after some time, Sora had broken through to level 7 Iron rank, at the same time, the volcano began to disappear as the volcano shadow had been eaten, it couldn't exist without a shadow, so it turned to see-through, and disappeared.

Sora slowly floated up, he wanted to take out the Soul Flag, but the monsters within the dungeons had no souls. they were birthed from the volcano without any souls. but the volcano had a soul, so Sora went on to pull out the flag to devour the soul. sadly, the volcano wasn't a soul cultivator, so the improvement to his soul wasn't much.

with that out of the way, Sora went on to look at the battle which was currently taking place outside. Sora's shadow moved, splitting into 4 parts, and taking hold of the 4 shadow monsters. the 4 shadow monsters tried to move, but they were frozen, allowing them to charge up enough power to break through the sub-boss's hard defenses, once they died, their death Qi gathered and was absorbed by Sora,

With the improvement to his cultivation, Sora although slightly affected by absorbing so much death Qi, could hold it off.

"Prince, are you alright?" Yalan asked as she rushed over to check up on Sora, whose clothing was burnt in some places and was covered in burnt blood, and some of his flesh were burnt.

"yes, I just need to come to recover... I will go rest, I will leave everything to you." Sora said calmly, before walking off. there were many gains within this battle, the bodies of the sub-bosses were hard, and they could be turned into weapons, or other items,

thats did not add the Spirtal stones, there were even a few low-grade 3 spirit stones, which would of course all be taken away by Sora. of course, not all of the dungeon monsters were killed, if they were all killed the dungeon would start kicking them out. so a few of them were captured, allowing them to take their time to mine everything they could get their hands on within this dungeon,

it took 4 more days for them to collect everything, everything was brought to the castle, where it became Sora's job to divide all of the resources fairly.

"with me, we would be able to clear a dungeon pretty much every time it resets. for now, I will set aside 30% of the resources gathered for the improvement of the city. the remaining 70% will be divided between the 100 clans, schools, and this prince." Sora said calmly, everyone was stunned for a moment, they were unwilling, but they had nothing to say.

everything went on to be divided, Sora had already looked at the videos of everything that had happened. Sora rewarded the clans which had done the most work the most, and with all of that out of the way, the city was on road to having its grade improved, but Dora was not paying attention to this.

He instead was paying attention to his gains when he was in the berserker state. Sora found that his combat skills and other skills had improved greatly. for example, Sora found out more about his technique than he ever knew, such as him being able to devour shadows, or him being able to turn stuff like Qi into Death Qi. the gains were huge.

The best of all was the gains from his control, soul, body, and Qi control had improved greatly. allowing him to fuse the three, to gain a 2.5 boost in power. but since the cultivation of the 3 was no longer balance, he would have to weaken all of them until they were balanced.

the Iron rank dungeon would reset within 24 hours, So looked at the video of him which was spreading on the internet. everyone now knew who Sora was, and how powerful Sora was. the quality of the video was good, although it was hard for them to sense the aura through the video, they could still get a hint of how powerful the bosses Sora faced off with.

luckily, the deathly Aura from Sora couldn't be sensed, that would have been troublesome. as for the comments, they were all in shock. some thought it was fake, some were trolling, and some were putting up their guesses of the future.

as for the color of Sora Qi, not many paid attention to it. it was not hard for one to change the color of one Qi, so no one cared much. luckily, the heat from the volcano weakened the effect of the Death Qi effect on one lifespan

Sora knew his technique would catch many people's attention, he had many overpowered techniques, so many were going to get interested in the technique, it was going to be troublesome, but Sora was the prince that was strong backing.

the next day, Sora went on to enter a high-grade Copper rank dungeon, it was dungeon called the spirit forest. it was a small forest filled with spirits that attacked you. Sora entered this as all the monsters within this dungeon were of the soul system cultivation,

Stepping into the dungeon, Sora looked around and his eyes were instantly caught by a ghost. the ghost looked at Sora for a moment, before it fell to its knees, shaking in fear.

{host, your the god of death. to spirits, they would see you as the grim reaper, their god or master.} the system said stunning Sora for a moment.

{don't get carried away, the stronger the spirit, the less your cultivation would affect them. instead, they might just eat you.} the system said to which Sora nodded while pulling out a flag, and stabbing the flag into the ground, all of the souls within the forest suddenly felt something pulling them.

unable to rest, they were sucked into the soul and refined and used to strengthen Sora's soul, after some time, Sora let out a deep breath sensing his breakthrough to level 6 Soul Condensation, he should have done this sooner.

'This flag is perfect.' Sora thought as he turned and left the dungeon through the gate, since he cleared it, the dungeon slowly closed, and went on with his way. He told Teacher Mo to buy the dungeon, and move it to the castle, every day he saw personally clear it.

Sora sighed softly seeing his measurement of power, his peak strength was 1,175. it should be higher, but sadly the Soul Condensation was a step below the other cultivation. if it was at level 7, then his strength could be at 1,437. but they should be balanced tomorrow, as he shall clear the dungeon once more.

at that point, he would be able to fight a level 5 Core formation realm cultivator. that would allow him to clear the Iron rank dungeon without trouble all on his own.
