God's Eyes

With each pulse, more death energy was released from Lux's body, enveloping him tightly.

This prevented the flames around him from coming uncomfortably close to him.

Even the searing heat didn't reach Lux's cold body!

When he sensed this, Lux didn't think of holding back anymore. Pushing his feet from the ground he catapulted himself towards Jason, whose crimson eyes were locked on him.

Jason quickly realized what was going on because his Emperor Eyes were fully activated. This allowed him to figure out that the blood orb in Lux was releasing the death energy that protected him from being burned.

At the same time, it allowed Lux to fight against him head on as the death energy was not just tasked with protecting him.

In the end, the death energy that enveloped Lux was also nurturing the natural soul fusion thereby strengthening him and his soulbond.

This added one more obstacle in front of Jason making it difficult for him to win. It made Lux's combat force more lethal in the face of the living.

Because of that, Jason had to be careful, under normal circumstances.

However, being careful was not something Jason was capable of doing.

This was because his soul fusion with Solaris prevented him from feeling fear, worry, and similar emotions that could affect his decision-making skills and restrict him from utilising his highest combat prowess.

These negative emotions would be severely restricted, and narrowly perceptible, to the extent in which it was like they didn't even exist.

As such, Jason's bright crimson eyes glowed further as he increased the amount of moonlight transmuted mana and divine energy which he used to intertwine them with Solaris' flames.

Solaris' flames had merged with the Hell aura, and by increasing the lethality of the flames, Jason attempted to kill the Undeads before Lux would reach him.

Unfortunately, Jason had grossly miscalculated Lux's moves.

Instead of attacking him, Lux shot towards his soulbonds which he retracted into the soul world by touching them.

At the same time, it took slightly longer to burn the Skeletons than initially expected.

Thus, Jason knew that he had to jump in and curb Lux's actions, otherwise, the fight would become even more annoying than it was already the case.

With that in mind, he shot in Lux's direction, after lightly pushing Byakur back, as he circulated moonlight mana and divine energy through his body.

Only a moment later, his speed accelerated further as he exerted the Hermes Celeration movement technique by pushing himself to the limit.

However, Jason was known for exceeding his limitation, and Lux was just about to get a live demonstration of the same.

Smiling at his opponent, Jason used strong, explosively released flames that spread over his entire back.

Through this, his speed increased further, even if Jason's balance was not yet perfect.

As such, given the imperfect balance that he had yet to get rid of, he wouldn't be able to reach the combat prowess he wanted.

But that was not important because the flames that shot out from his back weren't released in an explosive manner the moment he emerged in front of Lux.

While he had pushed his speed to the limit, Lux had stored away three Ascendion stage Undeads, attempting to save them until the last possible minute.

This seemed to work because the lines of worry that had appeared on Lux's face vanished as he visibly relaxed.

But given the fact that Jason was able to see this, the situation escalated into a brawl between the two Cultivators.

While Jason's flames never grew dim and continued to burn through the Undead soulbonds of Lux, his mana consumption was slowly increasing. Similarly, the stored divine energy was being used up.

If Jason were to run out of enough mana reserves, the Skeletons might be able to survive. It would automatically force Jason to fight against the strongest form of Lux which was what he was currently doing.

Facing his opponents, Jason quickly noticed that the combat prowess of Lux was much higher than he initially expected.

As a matter of fact, he had relied too much on the intel that the Lord of Death would never enter a close combat fight, and that he would focus on controlling his army of Undeads.

Because this was something Jason had gambled on, he was unable to face the dagger-wielding Lux properly.

With two daggers in his hands and quick reflexes, Lux was on par with someone at the Low Ascendion stage putting Jason at a slight disadvantage.

His speed could only reach a prowess close to the Low Ascendion stage, owing to the Hermes Celeration movement technique he was using.

As such, the moment Lux noticed that Jason emerged in front of him, he exerted his own movement technique, increasing his speed once again.

This was extremely bad for Jason because he had to deflect the onslaught of two daggers that flew towards him at the same time.

Yet, retreating was not something Jason could think about right now. He was everything but a coward.

Hence, he attempted to use the Bladed Ruyi Bang technique, enlarging and shrinking Byakur to the extent to which he would be able to balance out his lower speed.

Unfortunately, this was not possible, which forced Jason to use different tactics, such as the utilization of the curses he harbored!

Given his Emperor Eyes and the foresight blessing, Lux's superior speed paled in front of Jason's traits. Owing to this, he had already lost its great advantage because he was able to evade most attacks even if they were faster.

Because of that, there were only a few attacks he could not evade, which forced him to encounter them.

That was something Jason could do, even if it was a big burden.

Thus, the moment he exerted the race specific weakening curse with some of his moonlight transmuted mana and divine energy, Lux's soul amplification decreased severely, hitting rock bottom at 0%.

Jason had already expected this to happen because he knew the potency of the race specific weakening curse.

As such, he didn't hold back when Lux was shocked about the sudden lack of strength he experienced. Not giving him even a moment to recover from this shock, Jason lashed out with Byakur's enlarged blade.

At this moment, Lux sensed true death looming around him, causing his pitch-black eyes to widen in shock.

His survival instincts took over as the blood orb within Lux began to pulsate at a much higher speed. It released more death energy that was ought to protect the being it was bound to.

Yet, instead of forming a protective shield around Lux, the death energy stiffened the moment Jason's eyes began to gleam brightly. He used the petrification curse with a little bit of his moonlight transmuted mana, and divine energy, followed by the abyssal effect!

The abyssal effect was empowered with his remaining divine energy, some of the chaos attribute he had annexed, and the remnants of his moonlight transmuted mana.

This caused Solaris' flames to die down owing to the lack of mana that had sustained them.

However,? this was not necessary anymore because Jason had cut through Lux's body, splitting it into two.

No sooner had he slashed with Byakur, the blood orb, which he had wanted to cut through too, fell to the ground, unscathed.

Jason had slashed at the height of the blood orb in order to cut it, but given the fact that it was not in Lux's body anymore, he didn't think that it was a problem.

Staring at the stiff-looking Lux, whose mind had yet to escape the place the Abyssal effect had transported him to, Jason couldn't help but shake his head.

"Was that really worth it Lux? I didn't even feel like killing you…was your pride really worth dying for?"

Only a moment later, Lux's body fell to the ground with a thump and stayed there, unmoving and dead.
