CHAPTER 112: TRIAL OF THE HEART... SSS-GRADE SPACE AFFINITY!

Luka hesitated for a moment before placing his hand slightly on the orb. If he could awaken an element, he could finally embark on the path of cultivation. He promised that he would definitely slay any demons that he encountered—after all, they took his parents away from him!

As soon as he placed his hand on the orb, it began to glow with multicolored lights, with all the runes on its surface lighting up. He then felt a strange energy flow into his body, causing him to be stunned, but he didn’t think about it too much. According to what he knew, this was normal with awakening.

However, just as the strange energy entered him, he felt a stinging pain! The pain started slow at first; however, the next moment, it had spread throughout his body. He was shocked and immediately wanted to remove his hand from the orb; however, he realized that his hand was glued to the surface of the orb.

His hand didn’t budge despite his struggle. Luka’s eyes widened in shock, and he was slightly fearful. At this moment, the pain was beginning to become slightly unbearable. He clenched his teeth fiercely, causing his head to bulge out and red veins to pop out on his forehead. After a few agonizing hours, he felt that the process had stopped.

His elemental affinity was finally revealed after the Orb of the Gods altered it...

SSS-grade Space Affinity!

...

Kathryn stared at the shadowy creature in front of her. At a glance, she could tell that this was a calamity—but she didn’t know what kind of calamity it was. Calamities existed in different forms, and over the past thousands of years, they had encountered six different calamities that threatened to destroy them.

Fortunately, through her meticulous planning, they had been able to survive for so long, where the other races had perished. Just as a frown surfaced on her face, the shadowy creature began forming once again—and soon, in an instant, the creature took shape. It formed the shape of her?

A younger version of her? However, this version was so weak that she could barely even recall when she had such ant-like strength.

"Remember me?" the creature grinned wickedly as it spoke. Although it sounded like a question, Kathryn felt that there was more to it than meets the eye.

She sighed and then quickly made a hand movement. She had reached a stage in elven cultivation where they no longer required chanting spells to conjure an attack. With her mind, she could will the attack; she could also use her divine sense to attack.

As soon as she waved her hand, the attack moved. The skies darkened for a moment as though they were in awe of the attack, and a thunderclap resounded. The invisible attack struck the demon the next instant, and without any hesitation, the calamity let out a loud shriek and was destroyed in an instant!

Kathryn looked at the place where the demon had vanished and sighed in relief. However, her brows furrowed at a thought—the calamity this time seemed peculiar... it seemed they had learned to manipulate the minds of others and even manipulate humans to a certain extent.

If it was so difficult for her to find a calamity of such weak strength, she couldn’t imagine how difficult it would be to find calamities that are more terrifying! Suddenly, she glanced at the elders standing not too far away from her. At that moment, as she looked at them, she could faintly feel that at least one of them was a calamity.

But how could she discover what calamity was hidden in her midst? She felt a slight chill inwardly. It seemed the plan she had thought up concerning the calamities was doomed to fail. Since they already knew about it and weren’t doing anything about it—only playing some slight tricks by letting their juniors have fun—then it seems they aren’t worried about the threat at all.

I have to come up with countermeasures concerning the elders and the cultivators at large... In this seventh calamity, no matter what happens—even if the heavens and earth collapse—I will definitely survive! Kathryn decided with a chilling expression. She understood that this would definitely be the most terrifying calamity that she had encountered so far.

It would be a trial of whether she would transcend the limits of a mortal and step into the world above the divine world!

Glancing at the towering skies, Kathryn’s thoughts moved...

Even if it means sacrificing everything... I will tower above you!

...

Everything had started when he began to question the origin of his ability. He had linked it up with many things. However, using his rapid thoughts a while back, he had only come to a few conclusions. And the main one was that it was a time ability brought about by the antique watch.

As soon as he understood this, Kranos was shocked. Previously, he hadn’t tried using any time ability since he wasn’t sure—but now he had no choice.

Reverse!

Immediately, the winds churned, and for a moment, it seemed as though everything was still. As Kranos continued running, he felt that he was becoming younger. He was shocked—then overjoyed! It works! Kranos was extremely glad. With how obsessed he was with time, he had understood that among the many abilities, if he was to get any, it would definitely have to do with time!

With that, he guessed that he must also know some other time-related abilities! In the blink of an eye, Kranos had returned to a middle-aged man in his twenties. He looked extremely young and just like the Kranos from the Immortal World—only slightly older.

His figure moved rapidly.

Accelerate!

Kranos used another time ability. In this imaginary world, his thoughts moved rapidly, and he understood that his time ability didn’t have any limits! His time ability didn’t require anything to cast it! His time ability was unrestricted... In this case, what other option did Kranos have but to become wild and unrestrained?
