Chapter 35: Break-Through

ALU who was currently focused on his cultivation was oblivious to Old Hodus' plan.

After several hours of Alu absorbing spiritual energy from the blood essence, Alu's spiritual source, the three thousandth had almost completely formed.

Of course, since Alu had not yet reached the Life and Death stage, an increase in a mere spiritual source was hardly worth mentioning.

However, while his strength had not increased much, Alu could feel his cultivation foundation becoming even more solid and extraordinary.

And that solid foundation made Alu's cultivation talent once again soar.

The Nirvana King stage in the Holy Light continent was a stage that even supreme geniuses would not dare to underestimate, yet now, Alu felt as if the Nirvana King stage was no more than a step ahead of him.

Even though it took some time to reach that step, Alu felt, even if he was just cultivating orthodoxically without using any resources, he was sure he could reach it within a few years.

Of course, with Alu's ambition, he would not cultivate that way. In the Holy Light continent, the Nirvana King stage might already be considered the highest pinnacle, but in the vast outside world, it really was nothing. There are too many geniuses like Alu who underestimate that stage.

...

Boom...

Several hours later, Alu's body suddenly spurted out boundless spiritual energy as Alu's three spiritual worlds began to merge into one.

Alu's spiritual source had already reached three thousand and Alu didn't want to delay his breakthrough anymore.

On the side, as Old Hodus and Jather watched how the three spiritual worlds of Alu merged, they were once again stunned.

What stunned them was how the three Alu spiritual worlds merged.

Normally, whenever someone broke through the cultivation stage, they would do it very carefully. Even for supreme geniuses, they didn't dare to be careless.

When they combined their three spiritual worlds they would do it in a very slow way.

People say a little mistake when combining the three spiritual worlds can cause the spiritual world to crack and explode.

But right now, when Alu combined his three spiritual worlds, he was doing it in an uncontrollable and arrogant manner.

To Old Hodus and Jather's eyes, Alu didn't seem like he was fusing the spiritual worlds, but the rubber balls.

"Sigh." Old Hodus who saw that could only sigh.

"Geniuses always leave ordinary people like me speechless." Said Old Hodus.

As he said that, he couldn't help but stare at his grandson. At this moment, Jather really looked like he had lost his spirit.

As the highest talent of the Holy Light clan, he was always proud, but what Alu did this time made him start to doubt whether he really was still a genius.

Looking at his grandson, Old Hodus only shook his head without saying anything.

Boom...

When Old Hodus shook his head, Alu's body erupted once again. But the eruption was times more violent than before.

The three Alu spiritual worlds easily merged and the moment they merged into, it began to change color. Black and white began to fill each side of Alu's spiritual world. Currently, Alu's spiritual world that has merged into one is in the process of becoming a Yin-Yang symbol. And when that happened, Alu's spiritual source also jumped drastically.

3100

3200

4000

In one breath, Alu's spiritual source instantly reaches four thousand spiritual sources. And of course, it doesn't stop there.

As the spiritual world started to become increasingly black and white, Alu's spiritual source continued to soar up as well.

5000

6000

7000

8000

Only a short time later, Alu's spiritual source had already reached eight thousand, and after that, Alu's spiritual source only increased by a few more before stopping.

It stopped after eight thousand one hundred spiritual resources, and the number instantly dumbfounded Old Hodus. Even Jather, who seemed to have lost his spirit, immediately opened his mouth.

Eight thousand, that was an astonishing number. And that only happened right after Alu broke through. When his cultivation became more and more stable, who knew how much spiritual source Alu would have.

Old Hodus himself had seen several geniuses who reached eight thousand spiritual sources when they broke through to the Life and Death stage, but that happened in an extremely powerful outside world. But in the Holy Light continent, even in the thousand islands region, Old Hodus had never seen it.

Some time later, Alu who was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed amidst the black flames opened his eyes.

Alu's eyes became even darker, and they looked more and more mysterious like black holes in the starry sky.

"Incredible. The cultivation stage breakthrough is truly extraordinary." Said Alu.

As Alu said that, the Yin-Yang symbol flying above Alu's head flew towards Alu's hand. It then landed on Alu's palm.

And Alu looked at the Yin-Yang symbol with a faint smile.

The Yin-Yang symbol might not be something to be considered extraordinary and most Nirvana stage experts didn't really care about it, but for Alu, it was one of his paths to the highest peak.

"Right now you may be just a small object, but in the future, even this world will bow down to you." Said Alu.

"Huh." Alu then took a breath while holding his palm.

When Alu opened his palm once again, his Yin-Yang symbol had already disappeared from his hand.

The black flames that covered the basement also returned to Alu's body.

When Alu stood back up, his body had stopped emitting spiritual aura so he really looked like an ordinary person.

After Alu stood up, he then looked at Old Hodus and Jather who were also staring at him.

"Well, I didn't expect my goal to be accomplished so quickly." Said Alu to Old Hodus and Jather.

"I don't know if anyone is stronger than me on the holy path later. But there shouldn't be people from the continent of Holy Light who can hold back my power. I guarantee you, the plot to kill your grandson will never happen." Alu then spoke to Old Hodus.

"Well, but I'll only help deal with the people from the Holy Light continent. If your grandson has problems with outsiders, I won't help anymore." Alu added.

Alu was actually too lazy to help Jather. But since the Holy Light clan was still the ruler of the continent and their strength wasn't weak either, Alu chose to give them a little face.

But Alu didn't want to waste too much time on Jather either. Alu plans after he enters the holy path later, he will immediately kill Krinn who is the main mastermind. With Krinn's death, Alu is sure their plans will fall apart too.

As for the rest, Jather should be able to handle them on his own.

Alu's words made Jather's expression ugly as he felt like a useless person who needed protection.

Actually Jather himself was not afraid of Krinn and his group. The reason he gave Alu his own blood essence was because he wanted to save his clan. However, Alu's words sounded like he was completely incapable of overcoming Krinn and the others.

This made him grip his fist. But because of Alu's status, he chose to hold back his anger.

"Okay, then I'll go first." Alu said once again when he saw Old Hodus not speaking.

After Alu said that, Alu then turned around before stepping towards the stairs in the tunnel.

"Wait."

Right before Alu took a step, Old Hodus who had previously not spoken suddenly called out to Alu.

"What is wrong?" Alu asked and turned around once again.

After turning around, Alu saw Old Hodus take a breath.

And after Old Hodus took a breath, he then threw a token at Alu.

Alu accepted the token and looked at the token with a confused expression.

"I know you don't want to live in a remote place like this region. The token you hold can help you go to the center of our domain and join the faction there." Said Old Hodus.

ALU who heard Old Hodus' words was stunned once again.
