1046 Break Through
Nux sat down in a lotus position, surrounded by his 12 wives who were looking out for him with careful looks on their faces, and Six 11 Star Artifacts that 'concealed' his and his wives' presence. Although no beasts could be found in this area devoid of life, Melia was still wary and decided to use these Artifacts that she had brought from the Bloodheart House for Nux.
Yes, Nux could finally cultivate now, in the end, the women decided to leave the matter of turns on their luck, with a game that was based purely on luck and Nux as the judge, the turns were decided.
With that, everything was done and Nux could finally start his breakthrough.
With his eyes closed, he started turning the Mana inside his Body into *Essence*. Due to his Incubus Blood Automatically absorbing Mana from the air, when Nux returned from Waranal Dimension, his body was filled to the brim, however, it was to the point where the Mana his Blood absorbs was simply released back into the environment because Nux's body couldn't store it anymore.
However, in his Battle with the Seven Heroes, Nux had to use some of that stored Mana, so right now, he needed to absorb more Mana, fill his body up to the brim like before, and then convert all that Mana into *Essence* before proceeding to Break Through.
The process of filling his Body with Mana alone took an entire week, however, with nothing to bother him and his determination to get done with things here as soon as possible, Nux continued without rest.
Soon, Nux started converting all the Mana into *Essence*.
This process wasn't long, in just 2 hours, Nux's body was filled up to the brim, not with Mana, but *Essence*.
The Current him was truly a Peak Great Sage Cultivator who could break through whenever he wanted.
Nux opened his eyes for a while and seeing his wives looking at him with concerned looks on their faces, he smiled at them.
The wives smiled back, Nux then breathed a few times to calm his nerves, and then, with a determined look on his face,
He started.
All the *Essence* in his Body rushed into his Heart.
*Ba-dum*
His Heartbeat got uneven, however, Nux ignored that and continued to push more and more *Essence* into it and,
*Booom*
His Heart Burst apart.
"Kkkhhwwkkkk!"
Nux's body trembled in agony. His Heart was now turned into Blood Puddle, normally, he should have died in a situation like this, however, the *Essence* that was pushed into his Body started working.
An entirely new Heart was formed, the Heart which was 'fused' with *Essence* and was much stronger than before.
Nux's eyes were red, signifying the pain he was in. His wives wanted to rush towards him, however, they knew that this was something Nux had to go through on his own.
This was the way to become Phase Three Cultivator, Nux needed to be 'reborn'.
It was not just his Heart, his Lungs, Brain, Kidneys, Stomach, Liver, all the Organs in his body, and even the Bones, Muscles, Blood Vessels, Skin, and even nerves, he needed to rebuild everything.
This was a Phase that every Complete Cultivator had to go through, of course, the other Complete Cultivators weren't as extreme as Nux, most of them simply rebuilt their bones, creating a new skeletal system that was much stronger than before, this alone was enough to boost their defense to a completely different level.
No one was crazy enough to touch Organs, especially organs like the Heart, Lungs, and Brain.
Nux, however, was different.
He Cultivated *Essence*, the normal Cultivation techniques allowed one to proceed to Phase Three further even if they did not reform their body at all. *Essence* didn't.
Nux needed to reform every single part of his Body, from the smallest of his nerves to the largest Muscle there was, Nux needed to fill everything with *Essence*.
A completely new body that breathed in *Essence*, Nux had to 'become one' with *Essence*, and he needed to do it while he was conscious.
This was just the start.
Nux ignored the pain he was in and focused on his Lungs, his strategy was simple, he would focus on all the vital organs first till he was still sane, then later, even if his mind got a little hazy because of the extreme pain he was feeling, it wouldn't be as harmful.n,o-Vel)u/S)B(-.c,O-m
Of course, Nux wasn't a fool, he didn't step into this without preparing anything, in these last 50 years, he had trained his pain tolerance to the limit. Cutting his Limbs without a second thought, stabbing his nonvital organs with his sword, and then letting it regenerate before doing it again.
Nux had pushed himself to the point where losing a limb or two, the current him wouldn't even bat an eyelid to it.
Of course, the crazy training with Orpheus and Ambrosia back in the Blood Continent was a major part of it as well.
The current Nux was sure that the pain wouldn't affect his state of mind and he could continue this for as long as necessary without as much as letting out a single scream, especially when those 12 beautiful women were watching him, however,
Nux didn't want to take any chances.
Nux was a firm believer of 'What could go wrong, will go wrong, So if he could do something to prevent something, he would do it.
Anyways, *Essence* rushed into Nux's lungs,
*Boom*
The Lungs burst apart as well, Nux gulped, a drop of blood coming out of his mouth, it was a suffocating feeling where Nux couldn't breathe since he had nowhere to store the air into, Nux waited for the new Lungs to form.
The *Essence* started working, 5 minutes later, a new pair of lungs was born, it took another minute for the Lungs to grow and completely replace Nux's previous lungs, Nux breathed a sigh of relief.
The air felt especially fresh, however, Nux didn't have the time to celebrate it right now and a solemn look appeared on his face.
It was time to form a new Brain.
