Chapter 364 Draw A Circle

It felt painful, really painful with each hit. I didn’t know what caused this to happen, but the balance that my dantian maintained here seemed to be lost the moment I started moving it.

At some point, I realised I wouldn’t get done if I kept acting cautious and slow. “Screw it!” I gritted my teeth and decided to endure the pain no matter what.

Instead of slowly pushing the dantian around, he acted like he was crushing it forward towards the platform.

In a few seconds, the dantian hit the platform and like a dry sponge meeting water, the platform engulfed the dantian and meridians, letting them all vanish inside it.

But that came in return for feeling a strong backlash from that hostile dark energy here. It felt like I was getting lashed and burnt by fire, making me want to scream out of pain.

However I endured. I had to endure. After all this pain lasted for a few seconds before it started to slowly fade. I endured to my best ability, while watching the platform.

The moment the dantian and meridians vanished inside it, I could feel my connection with them getting broken for a few seconds. I panicked when that happened. What! Don’t tell me I was going to lose everything I worked hard for!

Just as I was trying to get in touch with my dantian, the dantian regained its connection with me on its own. But that link wasn’t to the dantian directly this time. It was a link with the platform itself.

The connection felt weird. The platform changed to become like a dense net of meridians that took a physical shape of the platform. And when I was just wondering about what was going on, all the energy coming from my bones was sucked dry at a frightening rate.

“It’s… growing branches like a tree!!” I saw that from the platform, thin tree-like branches grew and started to twist around the platform.

Then it expanded to the base layer with all the buildings over it. When it covered the entire platform, the towers started to slowly shine in silver white light.

And then the buildings started to shine as well, not at the same intensity as my six towers, but it was noticeable from far.

“What now?” As changes stopped here, I didn’t know what I should do next. The dantian seemed to be lost inside the platform, or perhaps the two completely merged together.

I couldn’t feel my dantian anymore. All the meridians were linked together with the platform, giving me the feeling of turning into an endless maze.

But as long as my energy entered there and circulated it was fine. I followed my energy and found out that every single detail here was filled with my energy. I could examine everything in many details like I was standing in front of it.

That was cool indeed, however how could that help me in any way? I developed my cultivation base, started my cultivation path, opened three stages so far, and established my platform and merged it with my dantian.

So what was next? Shouldn’t I feel any difference now? Then why did it feel like nothing changed?

I tried to inspect the platform further, but failed to spot anything new or special. Things weren’t looking good to me. Overall I succeeded in establishing my cultivation base, yet failed to get any benefit from it.

Wasn’t that considered as… Screwing up?

Feeling helpless and dejected, knowing how this would greatly impact the course of the entire war and also the lives of everyone, I had to go out and speak with my team.

I had to ask them to run away as far as possible from here. This… this fight was going to be my devastating loss.

I knew I was able to handle anything on my own, but they wouldn’t. If this kept going on, then during the next hours they would be killed in front of my eyes without being able to do anything to help.

That… It was a really frustrating, very painful feeling that I didn’t want to experience for real.

[That god says that you have done exceptionally well]

Just as I opened my eyes, the next message that popped in my eyes shifted all my depression and powerless negative feeling over that god.

I was like a damn volcano on the edge of getting erupted at the next second.

[He says it’s time for you to unleash hell upon your enemies]

“Hell? Are you sure?” I couldn’t help but stand up, clenching the fists in rage. My body started to shiver out of pure anger. “Are you… For real?”

[That god says it’s not time to waste on explaining things. Just release your blood and drew a circle in the air and you’ll see by yourself]

“You…”

[He says that you trusted him to this point, why not follow his words for this last time?]

I tried to say something, curse him, explode in anger at him, but I ended up doing nothing. I looked around. The spearhead was already on the verge of collapsing.

He already ate all the crystals I provided to him during the past half an hour. That… was something crazy indeed.

But he managed to push his limits beyond the triple seal here. My boys were fighting fiercely at the front of the gate.

For a reason, few of the weapons were arranged outside of the protective shield. This helped in reducing their numbers by ten pieces, buying me precious minutes here.

It seemed that Hector bastard underestimated me, a mistake that came at the perfect time and greatly helped me here.

Alright… If you were this confident in the sh*it you lured me to do it, then I’d see it to the end. Drawing a circle with my blood? How hard would this be? What difference would this make?

Burdened with doubt and regret more than anything else, I took out my dagger and cut a wound at my palm.

*Sizzle!*
