Chapter 275: Breakthrough After Breakthrough

......

BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM!

Countless explosions resounded in the distance as all of the various clones attacked an extremely large cosmic ship from all sides!

This ship was the home of a powerful Quasar Lord!

The Quasar Lord also just so happened to be the one that chased the Crimson Usurper all those years ago...

"You Fucking Bastard!!!"

RUMBLE!

Without even needing to confirm his suspicions, Quasar Lord Zephyr shot out of his ship with an aura so destructive that the world trembled beneath his might!

In response to this massively powerful release of aura, numerous Quasar Lord Rank Clones blitzed through the void. They reached Zephyr in half an instant, grabbing him by his arms and legs.

"!!!"

"What the hell are you bastards doing to me!? Courting Death!!!" Zephyr attempted to break free from the grasps of nearly a dozen versions of the Crimson Usurper. However, no matter what he did, nothing worked.

"Although I had to sacrifice the life force of a few Primordial Essence Clones, it's all worth it in the end..."

A glitchy, devil-like face materialized in front of Qausar Lord Zephyr, forcing him to catch a glimpse of a true monstrosity.

"Y-You Devil!! Let go of me right this instant!! Do you not fear the actions of the Galactic Lord!? This blasphemy will not go unpunishe-!!"

SPURT!

"Shut up." Azmodeus's hand passed through the chest of the Galactic General, emerging from the other side of his back. "Loot does not need to speak. It simply has to be quiet and die..."

Following these words bereft of emotion, Azmodeus started to suck out the Loot Essence of the Quasar Lord.

"N-No!!! You can't do this to me!!! I am the-!"

"I don't care who you are... Just turn into loot already..."

A few seconds passed as Azmodeus's cultivation had already reached 64.5%. He predicted that it wouldn't be long before it achieved 100%, allowing him to make another breakthrough.

But before that point in time came around, he had a few more Quasar Lord's to kill...

FWIP!

He vanished from his spot. Where did he go? Only the winds of fate would know...

...

It had been 3 days since Azmodeus killed Quasar Lord Zephyr, and by this point in time, more than 135 Quasar Lords had died under his hands.

Some were newly broken through Quasar Lord's, while others were even close to breaking through to the Middle Quasar Lord Realm. But regardless of where they stood in their cultivation, Azmodeus felled them all the same, using one sword stroke for each of them.

This pattern continued until the moment he skipped the Late Nebula Veil Realm and felt a breakthrough into the Peak Nebula Veil Realm.

Such a breakthrough came as no surprise to Azmodeus. After all, the other half of his existence cultivated at a speed beyond comprehension. In fact, it was only because of him wanting to acquire the most perfect of foundations that he hadn't already broken through.

Nevertheless, the moment that his cultivation reached its absolute zenith, a breakthrough was eminent, and the Loot God wasn't one to deny a free meal. So after settling down in a nearby star field, he commenced his breakthrough.

WAAAA!

Crimson-colored Starry Qi swirled around the atmosphere, originating from untold distances away. All of it flowed toward the solemn figure of a crimson-haired man—a man who wished to tread the Path of Infinity.

But even with an insurmountable goal in front of him, the Starry Qi didn't give Azmodeus a break. After all, he was someone who wanted to defy the will of the highest heavens. And an existence like that was simply not meant to be...

However, whether he was or was not meant to be, none of that mattered for him.

"This breakthrough... It will happen."

As if declaring the absolute truth of the universe, the Qi in the vicinity hit him with even greater force. It may have caused his tough skin to crack and break open as crimson red gushed out, but that only further hardened Azmodeus's resolve.

"Break." He chanted, his mind working to transmit all of the Qi into his Dantian.

He aimed to further increase the quality and size of his nebula. But no matter what he did or how much Starry Qi he allowed to invade his body, it just didn't seem like the breakthrough wanted to come...
