Chapter 177: A Very Blue Kingdom!

"Hmm" Azmond, like usual, instantly ignored the remarks made by Boundless and added them to the constantly growing 'to do later' list.

However, what really attracted his attention were the increases to all his stats, his 'Quantum Law Assimilation Rate', his 'level', and his slightly increased realm.

He looked at his realm to begin with and saw that he had gone up from the Early-Late Quantum Foundation Establishment Realm to the Middle-Late Quantum Foundation Establishment Realm. Such a small change in his realm increased his power by more than just a couple times!

But what he couldn't figure out was how his realm had increased without him actually cultivating

'!!' That was until he recalled the faint imprint of an Ice Phoenix inside his Dantian space.

He had completely overlooked the seemingly nondescript, funny-looking chicken residing beside his oversized Dantian and Qi Cyclone.

And it seemed like this Ice Phoenix was even more special than it appeared. After all, his Realm had not only increased by a 'small' amount, but it had also done so with '12 Cultivation Compression Cycles'!

Such a boon was more than he could've hoped for! But that wasn't the only thing that had increased his strength, as his 'Dual Cultivation' and 'Exterior Cultivation' levels had a major role to play in his 'Absolute Peak Half-Step Void Refining Realm' base stat combat power.

That was just his base form stats as well, completely excluding his 'Techniques', 'Emu utilization', and his 'Quantum Law Assimilation Rate' which had apparently capped at 0.00999%, and it would stay capped until he's able to break through to the Quantum Core Formation Realm.

'This is all so very invigorating!' he effused, clear happiness visible in his tone!

Why wouldn't he be happy at becoming so much stronger in such a short period of time?!? Nothing could make him any more elated than he was no-!

**Jiggle Jiggle**

Two sets of milky white melons suddenly latched onto him as they squished up against his firm muscles.

'Scratch what I said These pleasure bags tie for first' He would already have a nosebleed if this were a Japanese Anime.

|Azmond, is this where we will have our dates?!?|

"Th-The d-dates This is where we will have th-them?"

(...)

In a way, Emu only wanted to eat the land...

Azmond petted the slime on his head with a small, gentle smile, followed by his deep voice resounding out, "I am glad you are happy, little Emu."

He continued petting the little Emu for a whilez before a sudden melodic voice made its way to his ears.

"I am glad to be here as well, Azmond" Crystalline's soft spoken words came out as she looked up at him with sparkling eyes.

|Me too!| Boundless gave the same look as she was so ready to eat all the treats!

'Err I mean, I am ready to assist my master! Yeah, that's what I meant to say!' she thought to herself with a silly smile.

Azmond conveniently ignored such a ridiculous reaction from Boundless as he looked on kindly at the both of them, before moving his gaze to two sudden dots in the sky.

Dots that were growing in size, and fast!

Not long after, three figures in shiny, heavy looking armor appeared in the sights of all three of them. These figures were all men with slightly pulled down Eastern-Style buns with features that could be considered average.

However, what really stood out was not their looks, but rather their blue, well...

Their blue everything

Blue strings, blue chest piece, darker blue crest that indicated some sort of faction? Everything about their outfits were blue!

Everything except for their normal colored skin and eyes.

The leading man of the three guard-like men suddenly spoke with a slightly commanding tone: "Why have you entered into the territory of AquaRing without proper clearance, and why have you approached so close to the city gates of 'RiverBloom'?!?" He questioned with a domineering aura unconsciously leaking from him.

OOOM!
