Chapter 200: Kimono Covered Melons...

"Oh... well, it looks like we can already take on Mid Void Refining Realm Monsters, Emu." Azmond muttered with a bewildered expression.

He wasn't even aware that he had already unknowingly broken through to the Peak Quantum Foundation Establishment Realm

If anyone in the world of Asterion heard the nonsensical thoughts filtering through his head right now, then they would surely violently spit blood!

Accidentally broke through, he says?!? How does one accidentally breakthrough a minor realm!? This isn't some whimsical fairytale! You can't just advance through the realms whenever you feel like it!

And yet, there is this anomaly

An anomaly called Azmond.

.....

"The Quantum Core Formation Realm is right around the corner," he muttered as he felt the immense strength he now possessed.

His gaze traveled down to his katana as he gave it an appreciative look.

This sudden breakthrough was all thanks to little Emu after all! Well, that was the case for the most part.

There was also the ice Phoenix imprint he got from Crystalline's Primordial Essence; however, that imprint takes quite a while to transmit him a greater cultivation base increase.

It would've taken at least 3 months to reach the Peak Quantum Foundation Establishment Realm with just the Ice Phoenix Imprint and no active cultivation enacted by Azmond.

However, the new skill that he unlocked with the increase in his bond with Emu allowed him to rocket straight up to the Peak Quantum Foundation Establishment Realm in one fell swoop! The bond skill 'Soulforge Ascendancy' essentially allowed him to get even stronger through killing monsters!

That is with Emu there with him, of course.

"..." He looked at the existence known as Emu with a bewildered expression.

Even though he had already known Emu for quite a while now, it was still a complete mystery for him.

"Mhmu?" It squeaked with a confused look on its slimy face.

Why was its companion suddenly looking at it like it was a complete freak of nature??

The skies were enveloped by that tranquil yet deadly blue aura of hers. However, Azmond quickly took care of it with a swipe of his hand.

He didn't want any of those elders of her sect to catch a whiff of her unrestrained aura. The fact that they would eventually come out to bring Crystalline back loomed over him like a scythe over his heart.

They might even already be on their way, trying to find the approximate location of one of their heiresses. And from what she had told him, it wouldn't be unlikely for there to be Unity Form Synthesis Realm Elders at the forefront of such a forensics mission.

Azmond was getting stronger at an unbelievable pace, but...

Even he knew that he would instantly die the moment he came into contact with an ancient cultivator at the Unity Form Synthesis Realm.

...

|Hey, Azmond??| A bubbly voice hounded him for what felt like the billionth time.

"..."

'Did this silly girl never get tired of asking the same questions over and over again?'

And then it came...

|Are we almost there yet?!?| She giggled while rubbing her kimono-covered melons on his chest.

'... Yes' He couldn't help but lament over his system's impatience.

'How can an almighty system like her be so restless when it comes to the transit between two places?'

*Sigh* He let out a tired sigh before looking into the horizon and seeing the long city line that quartered off the City of RiverBloom.

It wasn't mentioned before due to the sheer size of just the city gates, but the city itself stretched on for hundreds of miles in every direction! It was an absolutely massive, cosmopolitan-like city!

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

A few sonic booms sounded out as he made his way downward, headed for the entrance to the city.

He quickly found himself gazing up at the gates that stretched upward for thousands of meters, nearing the size of an insurmountable wall!
