80 Mental Breakdown (2)

One thing that he learned about the Primordial Beasts was that their entire species were pinnacle hunters; they loved to hunt not only because of food or resources but also to perfect the art of hunting itself.

But none of that matters to Yakou, who kept slaughtering the Primordial Beasts; the more he killed, the more arrived because it was all orchestrated by the two initial Divine Extinction Realm Primordial Beasts that were using the wave tactics to wear him out.

"Dammed bastards! I did everything right! Everything!!!"

Yakou screamed in rage as his Chakra got out of control, transforming itself into the pure Dust Release, releasing an enormous wave that obliterated everything around him in the near vicinity, annihilating more than two hundred Primordial Beasts in one go.

Not even a speck of ash remained from them. This would generally bother him because corpses of the Primordial Beasts were excellent material; their bodies were extremely tough and full of nutrients.

Not only that but in Alchemy, they would be priceless.

The Ōtsutsuki Clan were partly liable to their emotions; when they got out of control, it was always problematic; their emotions could be their strongest weapons, their weakest side, or their doom or salvation.

After his reincarnation, Yakou decided to do the thing that seemed most logical to him at that point, which was to forge his sense of self and focus solely on getting stronger as much as possible.

In the environment of the Ōtsutsuki Clan, it was probably the only rational choice at the moment, not to mention the entire dangerous Starveil Origin World wasn't really helping at that.

Thus, he decided all of the time he had to train. To master the Chakra Control and Chakra usage, to master one Shinjutsu after another, and to absorb as much information and knowledge on various topics in countless areas.

"Why?!"

Suddenly, a rune appeared in his Soul, with a kanji symbol for "Lightning" signifying that he attained the Profound Mystery Level of the Dao of Lightning amidst the combat as he rushed at one of the Divine Extinction Realm Primordial Beast.

More than two centuries of suppressed emotions inside him were erupting one after another as his strikes were getting stronger and more and more ferocious with each passing second.

He even subconsciously activated the Future Sight and Clairvoyance of his third eye, which shone with a pale blue color as he kept dodging the attacks from the Primordial Beasts.

"Heaven's Blood Sword Style: Heavenly Cut!"

Subconsciously, his body was moving already on auto-mode or something like that as he attacked the tail of the Primordial Beast again and again.

"Heaven's Blood Sword Style: Heavenly Cut!"

For the second time, he severed the tail of the Divine Extinction Realm Primordial Beast, cracking with lighting; now that he attained comprehension of Dao of Lighting of the Profound Mystery Level, his speed was many times faster.

"Heaven's Blood Sword Style: Heavenly Cut!"

He hacked, slashed, cut, dodged and continued fighting. He was already bleeding from various parts of his body, most from his eyes, his armor was cracked, and he barely felt his limbs from the aftershocks.

But he kept on fighting more and more; the rage, despair and everything inside him fueled his energy to continue fighting against the Primordial Beasts, as now only those at the Divine Master Realm and Divine Extinction Realm remained.

Rest either perished or escaped.

"Heaven's Blood Sword Style: Heavenly Cut: Divine Thunder Judgment!"

Suddenly, his katana came alive as he slashed out, slitting the neck of one of the Divine Extinction Realm Primordial Beasts while executing one of the newest moves from Heaven's Blood Sword Style.

At the same time, the Primordial Beast was killed, and his sword broke into countless fragments, but Yakou didn't care, as he controlled tens of Dust Cubes to concentrate their fire on the second Primordial Beast to hold it back for a moment.

Suddenly, as he looked at the last Primordial Beast that was hissing at him dangerously, he stopped in his tracks, covering his left eye, which was almost blind right now because he suffered a strike from the first Divine Extinction Realm Primordial Beast moments ago.

'Life without relationships is not worth it; even with all of the power you can get, it will feel like an empty husk.'

He remembered one quote from his first life; he never thought that he was special because he had reincarnated or transmigrated. There were countless people who were reincarnating each day here and there across an immeasurable number of Origin Worlds or Chaotic Source Dimensions.

Reincarnators, Transmigrators, Regressors, Time Travellers, people undergoing Rebirth and god knows what. It is far more common than one may think, especially in many advanced Origin Worlds with powerful foundations.

So no, Yakou didn't think that the act he was from Earth made any special and he didn't even care about his past life at all; for him, it was only a collection of useless memories.

But yet, when he remembered some of these moments, he didn't even realize that he started crying, as tears mixed with blood were dropping down his bloodied face.

"I was foolish; I think... or know..."

Amid all of that, he gave a small laugh as he sighed... in resignation, but at the same time, he felt very satisfied feeling.

"Indeed... without emotions, we are no different from machines..."

Now the regret was crashing at him, as he wanted to shout and scream, but it was very freeing. Right now, he felt an immense burden had fallen from his shoulder, and it was so exciting and so wonderful...

"Come on, big lizard, you are the last one."

Yakou looked at the remaining Primordial Beast suffering under the Dust Release's barrage. It was the sole surviving Primordial Beast from probably a few hundred that he massacred here.
