Chapter 261 - Ascension?

BOOM!

Lith’s aura exploded all of a sudden and a small crater was formed above and below him.

But that was it. Nothing much happened apart from that as everything in the room, be it the walls or furniture was made up of high quality material, sturdy and durable enough to withstand strong explosions.

Even if a Rank 6 suffered a cultivation deviation and exploded in this room, nothing much would happen, not even a scratch could occur.

Lith damaging the floor and the ceiling caused Emilia to raise her eyebrows in surprise.

She looked at him and thought, ‘that was a strong outburst of his aura. But judging from the aura that’s leaking currently, it seems half of Rank 2 and Half of Rank 3. He’s undergoing the change. That’s good.’

The thick fog of elemental energy around Lith was slowly going in and out of his Magic Core.

When it entered, it was colorful, but when it left his Magic Core, it would have one or two colors missing from it. This meant that Lith’s Magic Core was absorbing specific elemental energies at a given time.

Lith was oblivious to the outsides and he was still drowning in the pond water of the gray world he was in.

‘Oh, the suffocation really stopped. What was that voice though? Seemed very familiar, almost like big sis or mom’s voice. Strange, but alright. If it’s mom, it’s understandable,’ Lith thought to himself while still in the meditative cross-legged position.

The suffocation he was feeling was gone and the water was slowly decreasing and Lith was floating up.

As Lith reached the surface, the water slowly flowed in and out of his glabella. Lith was surprised when he saw this but he couldn’t do anything to control it. He couldn’t even move a muscle.

The water was golden when it reached his glabella but turned gray when it came out. The golden beam of light all around Lith was shining brighter as the pond water got reduced and Lith noticed this.

A few seconds later, Lith felt his spiritual power fluctuating unstably and the same was for his soul.

‘What’s happening? Why am I suddenly feeling so uneasy?’ Lith thought to himself.

Today was a strange experience for him. Just a mere ascension to another rank was so troublesome. As far as he knew, this wasn’t normal at all.

Most people just broke through to another rank silently without any changes in their surroundings. It was valid for everyone below Rank 9.

Even ascension to Rank 9 didn’t cause any changes in the surroundings and if someone passed by the person breaking through, they wouldn’t know about it until and unless they scanned the person with their spiritual power.

Lith’s situation was very abnormal and he knew about it.

Soon, his spiritual energy and soul started fluctuating violently and it was becoming more and more unstable.

It was an alarm.

Lith’s body was screaming at him that there was danger. It was an innate ability of his body. It was the result of being the direct descendant of a Legendary Rank. His body wasn’t the same like everyone else and his constitution itself was the best of the best.

It was a Legendary Rank constitution!

Lith had the same constitution and body as his mother, Lilith. The direct descendants of a Legendary Rank would always have such constitutions and it would continue on further for later generations as well if the descendants became Legendary Rank themselves.

Lith had the potential to be a Legendary Rank but if he didn’t become one, his own descendants won’t have what he currently had. Same applied to his sister, Lucy.

His body was sending him an alarm stating that there was danger and Lith didn’t know about it. He had never felt such threat before and this was his first time.

Soon, Lith heard some faint noises and it was becoming louder with each passing second. This made him become even more uneasy.

‘What, what, what, what the fuck is going on? I can’t move my muscle and this feeling keeps becoming stronger and stronger. I feel like I’ll die at any moment if this continues. What the fuck! Do something, do something! I need to do something!’

Lith’s thought were becoming chaotic and he wasn’t able to think straight due to how uneasy his body was becoming.

Soon…

RUMBLE!

SWISSSSSHH!

A thunderous noise followed by the noise of something piercing the air was heard. Both of them were very loud and had Lith’s body been a Legendary Rank one, his ears would’ve burst and he would turn deaf temporarily.

‘SHIT! IT’S HERE!’

Lith yelled in his mind as he saw a purple and silver streak of light close in on him. He couldn’t make out what the objects were but only from their sheer intensity that he was feeling, he knew that even if he ran now, there was no hope of surviving.

‘FUCK! IS THIS HOW I’LL DIE!?’

Lith’s survival instinct kicked in right at this moment and his mind blanked. He immediately got into fight or flight mode and knowing he couldn’t flee, he instinctually worked on the other thing to survive.

Fight!

Fight was the only option!

The golden water around Lith which was stabling going in his glabella immediately picked up pace and gushed inside like a tide. The efflux was slower than the influx and Lith’s spiritual power and soul became more unstable.

The golden beam of light all around Lith flickered violently but it’s expansion and luminosity intensified right with the same momentum.

In the next instant, all of Lith’s hair stood up and his body started floating above. His eyes were closed and his body was still in the same meditative position.

His clothes fluttered with the breeze and the more high he went, the more they fluttered like a flag in a storm.

Lith was feeling absolutely nothing and it was all instincts on which everything was happening.

The two streaks were getting closer and closer while everything around him was fluctuating violently.

Right at this moment, two red streaks of light descended down on the the purple and silver streak each and…

BOOOOOOM!

CLANG!

An explosion occurred where the purple streak was and a huge area in the gray world got illuminated with purple color.

Same thing occurred with the silver streak but instead of an explosion, a loud metal hitting metal sound was heard. As it happened, the area around that streak turned silver and it seemed as if two spherical domains of purple and silver color were formed.

In the next instant, two more red streaks of light flowed in the sky but this time they went in the direction from where the purple and silver streak came from.

…..

Inside a majestic castle.

A handsome and lean man was sitting on a throne and was instructing the people below him something.

“Make sure you find the pers–”

He stopped speaking midway as all his hairstood out in alarm and he felt grave danger coming towards him.

BOOM!

The man broke the ceiling of his castle and like a lightning streak, he directly came above his palace.

A few seconds later, he saw a red streak of light closing in on him and his castle.

The man felt goosebumps as he saw the danger and he was very alarmed.

“SUCH AUDACITY! WHO DARES!”

The man screamed in anger and sent out a lightning spear at the red streak.

BOOOM!

Another loud explosion occured and the world turned red for a few instants.

But the feeling of danger wasn’t gone. The man didn’t even need to know why that was the case as he saw the red streak of light close in on him again.

“YOU DARE!?”

The man yelled and charged towards the red streak and once again, another loud explosion occured when the man came in front of the red streak and held it with both his hands.

The man’s clothes were torn immediately but now was not the time to think about it.

He tried his best to stop the streak with his sheer force and a few more instances later,

BOOOM!

The man along with the red streak crashed down at his castle, making all the area around it and the castle flat while making a lot of smoke and dust to arise.

The smoke soon cleared and a man lay flat on a the ground with a small crater forming around him.

“Blergh!”

The handsome man was buck naked and he spat a mouthful of blood as he got up.

He stood still a few seconds later and wiping his mouth, he looked hatefully at the place where the red streak came from.

The man smashed the ground in anger and yelled,

“WHO WAS IT?”
