"¡AHHHH!"
Zirun shouted as he made his energy explode, literally transforming into a massive tornado that covered the sky and dived toward the Scarlet King.
A sharp light appeared in the Scarlet King's eyes as he saw the tornado. He took a deep breath as his Essence Wave burst with all its power, and he waved his hand, moving Slaughter in a strange pattern that unleashed hundreds of small arcs of sonic energy.
The individual power of the sonic arcs was limited, but every time they burst to pieces, they would unleash an energy wave that resonated with the other attacks.
After over one thousand sonic arcs burst, their combined power broke the silver tornado apart, sending Zirus, who was at the core, flashing away.
Zirus nearly fell unconscious due to the damage and loss of blood, but there was a smile on his face. The reason for that was that while the Scarlet King managed to blast the silver tornado to pieces, this one completed its true purpose.
The Scarlet King's eyes narrowed as he turned around, only to see Samos less than five meters away, firing a punch charged with all his power at his face.
He had been forced to focus on the silver tornado, allowing the other Wave King, who focused on speed, to sneak up on him.
Samos noticed how the Scarlet King looked directly into his eyes but still had control over his body, and a cold smile appeared on his face as he imagined the head of the monster blowing to pieces.
"Light Fist. Die!"
"¡BOOOOMMMM!"
A massive blast echoed across the sky, but it was not due to Samos' fist landing on the Scarlet King's head since this one had stopped the fist with his naked palm!
Samos could not believe what he just saw. He had gathered all his strength in that fist, yet the monster managed to block it with his naked palm, and other than making the arm tremble, he caused no damage at all.
"Monster!"
"¡SHHHHH!"
That was the last word Samos uttered as the Scarlet King's Ego Wave burst, and he triggered the Sundering Concept as the sonic energy in Slaughter exploded, splitting the Abyssal in half.
Zurin and Orphin saw the blade sunder Samos's body in half, and their horror only grew more vital as the blood of this one moved on its own, fusing into the flesh of the Scarlet King.
"As expected, even without the reinforcement of Astral Wave, my body is still as hard as a Golden Wave Artifact thanks to the Biometal Herculean Technique."
The fact that the Scarlet King could not revolve his Astral Wave or advance in the Astral Rebirth Path of Power doesn't mean he lost his amazing constitution. He still had the advantages of the Astral Wave Path of Power, enhancing his battle might.
People did not dual cultivate because they could better put the time into a single path and fix their shortcomings with auxiliary skills. After all, anyone with the talent to dual cultivate would also have the chance to reach the Divine Ascension Realm, and you could not enter that Rank with both Paths of Powers since you only had one soul.
"System, scan me."
The Scarlet King was satisfied with his current strength and battle skills, so he commanded the system to show his current stats.
It did not take long for the information to reach his mind, and he saw the stats:
[Scanning Vessel...

Note (1): Wave Virus inside Vessel enhanced Wave Talent by 28.1%.
Note (2): Blood Energy can no longer be manipulated as its core is in the Rebirth Heart. To use the secondary energy pool, use the technique that generated Blood Energy with its core in the Evolution Core.]
The Scarlet King was very pleased with his Essence Wave since his energy poll was nearly as strong as a Middle Stage Wave Champion despite having just reached the Early Stage.
He also noticed that going from Level 1 Wave Warrior to Early Wave Champion in the Essence Evolution Path of Power did not grant an upgrade in his constitution, but that made perfect sense.
The Scarlet King's body was already at a level beyond what the constitution of even the Apotheosis Realm Essence Cultivators could achieve, so there was no adjustment or upgrade in terms of physique. That was actually one of the many reasons his energy pool was able to grow so fast.
As the Scarlet King focused on the data shown by the system, Zurin could not contain the fear in his heart and turned around, ready to use all his power to run away from the monster. Sadly for the man, just as that thought crossed his mind, his eyes lost their light as he gathered all his Astral Wave in his right hand and struck his own head, blowing it to pieces.
Orphin's eyes twitched as he saw how Zarius blew his head off, and the Scarlet King did not even glance at the man. A sense of utter dread filled his heart as he realized that subconscious commands had been implanted in their minds.
The moment Zarius thought of running away, the command of suicide was triggered, and the man ended his own life. Orphin did not know what kind of Hypnosis Master could do that, and the answer was complex.
That level of Hypnosis Mastery could be achieved after centuries or even millennia of training, through some unique skill or bloodline, or by gaining complete control over your emotions and mind, the type that only Order could grant.
