Blood flowed like river! Bodies gathered into mountains.

The friends and brothers turned into enemies and killed each other in order to live. In order to survive.

Their eyes were bloodshot. Tears strained most of the soldiers' faces. Yet they continued to fight and slash their 'enemies'.

Seeing this scene Lena closed her eyes.

"Do not avert your eyes." commanded Kylo without turning back.

"Burn this scene in your eyes. This is the real world. You can't go anywhere with a weak heart like yours."

"In order to protect and survive you need to be strong! Strong enough to be a puppeteer. Strong enough to not be played like this."

Lena took deep breath and calmed herself down hearing Kylo's words.

In fact another reason he bought Lena was to improve her heart stability.

He could have bought Elena as well.

Though it would have taken some time, she could have set up a formation to trap the army but he instead bought Lena.

Kylo got to knew from the {Chaotic Heart Illusion Array} that Lena surprisingly had a weak heart.

And in order to cross tribulations to become an immortal, such weak heart would be troublesome.

And it was not just that. Lena was surprisingly 'pure'.

He had to show her the dark side of the world in order to reach the peak.

If her heart is shaken just because of few thousand soldiers' death who knew what would happen in the future.

Even though the possibility of betrayal is almost nil due to {Soul Shackles}, at the end it is almost.

Maybe due to sudden pressure she would choose to betray Kylo in order to get rid of her guilt.

And he knew how good people like {Holy Emperor Tang} was in manipulating people.

And what Kylo did was not because of entertainment.

In fact Kylo himself was suffering a little.

It would have been better to refine them alive in order to absorb vitality, but refining dead increases the speed.

Kylo had already hit the peak of Combat Soul Stage.

He was just forcefully trying to suppress his breakthrough.

Because he knew once he broke through the Supremo Realm, the tribulation would just worsen.

And the altar would find it even harder to handle the wrath of the heavens at that time.

But the energy was gathering at such a terrifying speed, suppressing it more seemed to be impossible.

"*sigh* It finally came to this." Kylo mumbled to himself before allowing himself to breakthrough

*BOOOOOM*

Without any suspense, the devil broke through and immediately reached the 6th step of Minor Saint Stage.

And that was excluding the energy distributed to his soul and sword.

His soul without any suspense, broke through as well in order to keep up with the body.

The sword still didn't breakthrough it's rankings, indicating it still had to absorb more energy.

Kylo didn't worry about it. Looking at the army Kylo thought to himself

[I still have enough 'resources'.]

By now more than half of the army had fallen.

The few thousand soldiers lessened to just a couple of hundred soldiers.

The aura of the soldiers also changed. The previously immature aura of the soldiers could nowhere be seen.

After all this was the first time, this soldiers ever experienced war.

And their first war was hell in itself.

3 generals were already dead by now.

The leader was the first one to be impaled by his fellow generals.

The next one to die was the arrogant young general.

After all even though he was one of the seven generals, he was also the weakest among them.

He cried and pissed his pants when the generals came to attack him.

Disgusted by his behaviour they gave him a quick death.

The next to die was the silent general, who hardly ever talked.

Maybe it was because he rarely talked, he didn't had many friends and thus he was among the first batch to die.

Even till the end the leader tried to persuade everyone to stop fighting against each other.

Too bad, they were all drunk in madness and killing intent.

They couldn't think with logic by now. The only thing in their mind was 'survive'.

The dead bodies, their weapons and armour and the blood flowing on the ground continued to convert into black particles.

Kylo's body continued to absorb the nutrition.

And it was also then...

*RUUUUUMMMMMMMBBBBBBBBLEEEEEEEEEEE*

The thunder clapped even louder than before.

The thunder stopped striking the altar. But Kylo knew this wasn't a good sign at all.

And as expected, the color of the thunder slowly changed.

Initially when the thunder attacked the space laws it was purple in color.

It later slowly changed into red color. And now it changed once again.

The Death Tribulation slowly changed from the red color to dark red color.

Even though it was just slight change, this change said a lot.

"That was the reason why I didn't want to breakthrough." Kylo grumbled seeing the situation.
