The two clashed. Not in the way they had been before. It was not a clash of words, or fists, or laws. This was a clash of auras.

Among humans, Lex had never encountered anyone who could command aura with the same flexibility and depth as he did, mainly because he took his aura skills from a dragon. Yet in Cornelius, he found a worthy adversary.

The man had honed his will, had honed his power, and had honed his very being through a very purposeful and deliberate lifestyle. Although he was a couple hundred years older than Lex, considering all the flaws and drawbacks of humans, it was actually quite exceptional that Cornelius was able to reach so far in such a short amount of time, especially without the numerous advantages that Lex had.

Sure, Cornelius joined Ventura, but that was not the same as having an all powerful system. Much like how Lex had decided to venture onto a path of supremacy, and aim for the very peak of the universe, Cornelius too must have had his eyes set on an impossible goal.

It was not like he was lacking enemies either, so the pressure on him was immense. Without cheats, he had to come up with his own way to gain immense power, which is probably why he was focusing on questions like where does strength come from, and how to achieve perfection.

Lex respected his drive, but that did not mean he was ready to kneel to the man.

Their auras clashed directly, and to his genuine and immense surprise, Lex did not win the competition of auras out right.

Domination was not to be denied. It bent the laws to its will, but the illusion of Cornelius did not. The urge to bend the knee in front of Cornelius retreated, but for some reasons, it could not oppress Cornelius either.

Lex and Cornelius faced each other, Lex a tiny figure, Cornelius a mighty king. They clashed, the mere seated human, and the being who forcefully harnessed the power of the dragons. They clashed - two titans in their own right, unyielding, uncompromising.

"She's in closed door cultivation, I won't be able to talk to her for a while," Lex said, though he noticed something odd. Cornelius' statement did not flow according to the normal rhythm of the conversation. Upon hearing that the sword technique came from a Dao Lord, he should have asked about it or commented on it, or maybe even asked about the Dao Lord. Instead, he told him to discuss his cultivation with Cassandra. Lex's eyes flashed in understanding, but he did not say anything.

"Why are you limiting yourself to the seventh level of the immortal realm? Even if you don't want to become a Heavenly Immortal, isn't it best to wait at the ninth level?"

Cornelius shrugged.

"I'm using a special mention to stop my tribulations. If I get rid of it, they won't stop until I reach the Heavenly immortal realm. They'll come one after another. I'm not ready to leave the Crystal realm just yet."

"I've heard that the examinees want to raise the highest cultivation level of the Immortal realm to the Heavenly Immortal. If they do that, will you get rid of your limit?"

Cornelius smiled upon hearing that.

"Yes, I will. But if they manage to raise the limit to Heavenly immortal, I would be extremely grateful to them, for then I won't even need to face them myself. Vinei will rule the realm."

"Is he stronger than you?" Lex asked, curiously.

"One on one? I'm not sure. But he leads every monster in this realm, which will include countless Heavenly immortals the moment the realm allows it. An army of hundreds of thousands of Earth immortals? I can believe it. The same for Heavenly immortals? Even Ventura cannot casually pull that off with a branch as random as Chaotic-Gold. Come, let's go back. I'll share the details with you about the Kraven prince."

"Thanks. By the way, you want my help healing your wound? It looks painful."
