Rebirth : The Alchemist's Path

The Beastman warrior's blade swung down, but he was soon stunned.

Sylvus had disappeared.

"Strange, where did he go? Uh..."

While still puzzled, the Beastman warrior suddenly froze.

The next moment, he felt his consciousness being rapidly consumed.

Before long, his body erupted with a blood-red glow.

"What's happening?"

Kulo watched the Beastman warrior with confusion. He sensed that something unusual was happening to him.

But before Kulo could react, the Beastman warrior let out an enraged roar and swung his sword directly at Kulo.

"How dare you! What are you doing? Are you trying to rebel?"

Kulo shouted angrily as the Beastman warrior attacked.

The other Beastmen were also taken aback and hurriedly stepped between Kulo and the warrior.

However, in the next moment, all the remaining Beastmen froze, their bodies also flashing with a blood-red glow, and they all turned their killing intent towards Kulo.

"W-What's going on?"

Kulo's face changed as he looked at the sudden transformation in his comrades.

Although he had some strength, there was no way he could fight so many of them alone.

Moreover, these were his own people, and if he killed them, he would face serious consequences when he returned to the Beastman tribe.

But he couldn't just stand by and let them kill him, could he?

"What's going on? Why are the Beastmen suddenly attacking Kulo?"

"I heard a long time ago that there was internal conflict within the Beastman tribe, and even the royal family members weren't on good terms. I didn't expect it to erupt today."

"No, look at the eyes of those Beastmen—they seem to have lost their will. Could it be that they're under some powerful technique?"

The onlookers were stunned by the scene, clearly not expecting the Beastmen to start fighting each other.

This also made everyone forget about the missing Sylvus for the time being.

But Sylvus had not forgotten about them.

At that moment, he was smiling as he approached the other people nearby.

Anyone within a hundred-meter radius of him fell into a state of madness instantly.

"Brother, what are you doing? Why are you attacking us?"

"Brother, what's wrong with you? I'm your real brother, stop this... uh..."

Soon, cries of agony rang out as the hundreds of people on the summit fell into a state of madness.

Even siblings turned on each other with blades.

"Boom...!"

"Ahhhh...!"

The hundreds of warriors began attacking each other indiscriminately, leading to a chaotic battle filled with screams of agony.

"What's happening? Could the treasure have appeared, and they're all fighting over it?"

"It's strange—they're fighting, but it seems like they don't have a specific target. Some of them are even fighting their own kin."

"What on earth is happening? First, the restriction on Giant Spirit Peak suddenly disappeared, and now this... Could this be a test of Giant Spirit Peak, and only those who survive are qualified to get the treasure?"

Some who had just flown up from the base of the mountain were left puzzled by the chaotic scene.

Some even voluntarily joined the battle, despite Sylvus not having cast the Rage of Chaos on them.

"Watching others fight is indeed much more entertaining than doing it myself."

Sylvus leaned against a nearby rock, smiling as he watched the scene before him.

Every time someone died, a glow appeared in his Divine Core, and another star lit up in his Divine Core space.

The battle lasted for about half an hour.

By the time it was over, the entire mountaintop was littered with bodies—more than two thousand people had died in this battle.

"Boom...!"

When the last person blew themselves up, Sylvus knew it was time for him to collect his spoils.

He approached each corpse, taking all their spatial rings.

He didn't bother checking what was inside and instead threw them all into his system space, planning to go through them later.

"Not bad, not bad. There are over seventeen hundred divine abilities, not to mention the many treasures."

Sylvus thought, and without further delay, he flew down the mountain.

Now that things were settled here, he needed to find a quiet place to review his haul.

It wasn't long after Sylvus left that a figure flew over from the distance—it was Lancelot, who had previously left.

After leaving, Lancelot felt that something was amiss, so after some hesitation, he returned.

Upon seeing the scene before him, Lancelot was left dumbfounded.

Corpses—nothing but corpses.

The pungent smell of blood assaulted his senses.

"Did he kill all of them?"

Lancelot quickly inspected the bodies and found that among the thousands of corpses, Sylvus was not among them.

Moreover, all these people had been killed by their own comrades.

"Who is that guy, to possess such powerful abilities?"

Lancelot frowned.

He didn't know Sylvus's true level, but there were people among the dead who were Nine-Star Celestial Deities—stronger than even himself.

Two thousand people, all dead in this place; if this news spread, it would surely shock the entire Divine Realm.

"Some of these people had significant status—the Divine Realm won't remain calm after this."

Lancelot looked at Kulo's corpse at his feet.

Kulo had been the heir to the Beastman tribe, and his death here meant the Beastman tribe wouldn't take this lying down.

It made Lancelot feel fortunate—had he not left earlier, he would probably be lying among the corpses as well.

After surveying the scene, Lancelot didn't stay any longer.

He couldn't afford to be found here—if others saw him in this situation, he wouldn't be able to clear his name.

He left quickly, and it wasn't long before others arrived at the summit.

Seeing the aftermath left them equally stunned.

This caused word to spread throughout the Divine Domain—something had gone wrong atop Giant Spirit Peak.

Numerous powerful beings had perished there, and many began to grow more cautious in their treasure hunts, fearing they might end up like those who had died.

Sylvus, of course, was unaware that news of what had happened on Giant Spirit Peak was already spreading.

But he didn't care. Even if they found out, what could they do to him?

"This place seems pretty nice. I'll stay here for a few days and cultivate while I review my spoils."

Sylvus arrived in a secluded forest and found a cave where he sat down, opening his system space to inspect his gains.
