Going a little back in time, the twins' group reached the peak of the Space Bending Realm. Naturally, it was time to have a breakthrough. Sister Orb explained to the twins that the Elemental Space basically consisted in fusing one's Spatial Powers with one's Elemental Affinity. You would then use that fused energy to push your Dantian or Demon Cores into the Space Bending Realm.
From there on, their group would be able to choose whether they wanted to use their Spatial Power fused with their elements or use it separately. It goes without saying that the power of Spatial Related skills was much stronger when one's Elemental Affinity worked together with their Spatial Powers.
Usually, such a breakthrough would generate a huge commotion. But since their group did that while inside the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm, nothing happened on the outside. Even Kentucky had come back just for that breakthrough.
Since then, the twins continued cultivating with Celis while Kentucky gathered even more Demon Beasts for the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm. In between the cultivation times, Rean and Roan would often train their skills, getting used to their new power before continuing to increase their levels.
They also practiced their Weapon Intents, aiming to reach the next level while they were at it. According to Sister Orb, because of the oversaturation of Divine Origin Energy, their dantians needed time to rest. The same went for Celis and Kentucky's Demon Cores. [Simply put, your dantians and cores were not supposed to have this much Divine Origin Energy. Countless years of evolution made them prepared for the normal cultivation speed, not this craziness. That said, try to spend a month or two stabilizing your cultivations every year. Otherwise, it will definitely negatively affect your future prospects.]
It was during these times that Rean came up with the Bloodline Purification Formation. First, because the majority of the living beings in the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm were Demon Beasts. Secondly, it was because it would appease the Transition Realm ones. Although a lot of them brought their races to the Soul Gem Realm, they still kept their guard, thinking that their might be being used somehow. Having that formation was a huge benefit that made them think it was definitely worth the risk.
Well, Rean's group had no intention of doing such a thing anyway. Besides, it served as a good distraction to Rean, who had never made such a formation before.
Roan, on the other hand, focused his time on creating new skills now that he could merge his Spatial Powers with Dark Elements.
Back to the present time, Roan was using one of these months of cultivation rest to train exactly that.
'Death World!'
Roan Domain spread several hundred meters around him, making it impossible to see inside. Inside it, his Shadow Steps skill allowed him to move even faster than normal shadows. Any skill that used Dark Element would be enhanced as well. Of course, Roan's Domain's main use wasn't that. Instead, it was the fact it could corrode other Domains.
Yet, there was something new to it now. Spatial Powers fused with the Domain's Dark Element, something he got able to use now that he reached the Elemental Space Realm. However, only he knew what kind of effect it would have against an enemy. Roan faintly smiled and then retrieved his Domain.
Right after, he took out his Scythe and summoned his Scythe Intent. It was at this moment that Rean arrived at his training ground. "So you are here."
Rean nodded, not caring too much. "What is it? Wanna have a fight training again?"
Obviously, Rean and Roan and also Celis fought a lot against each other to help themselves get used to their own powers. "It's about the weapon intents. You and I can share our own memories and experiences as long as we wish to. That said, you should know we are very close to taking one extra step."
Rean nodded. "Sure, we are already at the Call of the Weapons, the third level. I can also feel our proximity to the next level. But you know very well that we simply don't know what the fourth level is about. We can't take this next step yet."
Roan looked at his Scythe Intent, humming with his weapon and making use of his Dark Element and Sky Energy. "That's where I think I made a discovery. So far, we used our Spatial Powers with our Weapon Intents to increase their power. It is basically the same way with Dark Element and Sky Energy. The difference was that we simply covered it with our Elements, Sky Energy, and Spatial Powers. After we got to the Elemental Space Realm, we were able to fuse our Spatial Powers with our Elemental Affinities. Perhaps that's what the next level of Weapon Intent needs."
"You want to fuse the Weapon Intent with Sky Energy, Elements, and Spatial Power?" Rean asked, finding it quite hard to believe. "Our Elements are already fused with our Spatial Powers now that we are in the Middle Stage of the Elemental Space Realm, so you don't need to do it separately. Still, I don't think this is the answer. Weapon Intents had always been an entity of their own."
"It is a kind of energy... if you can call it energy at all, that contradicts the other concepts. It is there, but at the same time, it isn't. I don't see it being possible to fuse it with anything else since it would go against its own nature. It is exactly because Weapon Intents are like this that they don't cause any conflict with the other powers like our Sky Energy, Spatial Powers, and Elemental Affinities. Instead, they only boost our attack power."
Roan narrowed his eyes in response. "That's where I'm confused. How come it can boost the overall power of skill while using it if it can't fuse with the rest?"
"This..." Rean was a little uncertain. "I don't really know."
Roan kept looking at his Scythe Intent. "That's why I think the next level has something to do with our other powers."
It was then that Rean got an idea. "Wait, perhaps it is not related to our other powers."
Rean's words caught Roan's attention. "What do you have in mind?"
