Chapter 514: [ Breakthrough (4) ]

My god, he has finally stopped!

Almost all the people, even Si Mulan, Xie Fang, Xia Xinyan, Yu Tingting, Zhao Shen, and even Lan Ling ‘er who was harboring complicated emotions to Allen were petrified!

They had already known that Allen’s power should be quite impressive as he was their boss but they didn’t know as to what extent.

But now…

They suddenly have an urge to bash their heads to a tofu wall… even though they had already overestimated him inside their minds, now that they had witnessed something like this beforehand, they suddenly realized that they were still underestimating him!

With such comparison, them, who was hailed as the heaven children of their own clans suddenly wanted to kill themselves!

They had always considered themselves a heavenly talent; now, they realized that they were as dumb as a pig!

The gap was too great!

Xie Fang somewhat wanted to cry but had no tears to shed. He extended one of his hands towards Zhao Shen on his side. Then, he extended his other hand. He bent down his four fingers. He had a confused look on his face as he shook his fingers.

"What?" Zhao Shen was puzzled.

"Six years…" Xie Fang was at a loss. He was dumbfounded. He shook the six fingers that were set up right, "It took me six years to level up from Apprentice Stage to Grand Master Realm… Six years, ah! And, two years to the King Realm… now, I’m still an ordinary King Level Expert, albeit mid-level… Take a look at this guy… Just take a look at him… his age should be not that far from us…! And yet, this guy, level up from Emperor Realm to Ancestor stage, to Spirit Stage and finally… a Half Saint!! And more so, in just… a couple of breaths… I… I… I think that my life has been meaningless… Fu*k it!"

He looked up at the sky and heaved a deep sigh. His cheeks were streaming with tears, "This disparity will make this proud young master feel diligent for a lifetime…

How would I endure this?!"

Zhao Shen became speechless. Yu Tingting and even the usually cold and detached Xia Xinyan chuckled in amusement.

It would only pain you to compare yourself to others. So might as well, stop~

Well, even still, since Allen was the boss they had recognized, the stronger he becomes, the more powerful their group turns to…!

Although for now, they still yet to publicize their group but, they were certain that in the near future… Dawn will make this continent, no, this world, upside down…!

As they were talking and discussing, at this moment, the lightning dragon slowly vanished in thin air, revealing Allen’s figure. At this moment, the magic circle has now disappeared, leaving only a strange book floating in front of Allen. In the book cover was an unexpectedly the black demon skull from before…

The golden ancient book has now black trimmed borderlines on each edge.

When this appears, all the people present within the lightning field suddenly felt as if their souls were sucked into something as they momentarily blanked out. When they regained their consciousness a second later, they realized that they seemed to be not the same place as before…

Unlike the Lightning Field that looked like a Grassland, they found themselves in an open, barren desert with monolithic black tall pillars that seemed to be supporting the entire sky.

The sky was curtain with dawn, coupled with the eye-catching red clouds hanging from above.

It is a world of rubble littered with thousands; perhaps a countless number, of swords anchored in the ground like grave markers in a wasteland, yet are well preserved. There were weapons of all shapes and assortments all around them. Some weapons were extravagant, some looked plain and ordinary, some seemed obviously sharp, while others were filled with killing intent...

The numbers were so much to the point where it was difficult to count!

Swords, Halberds, Spears, Daggers, Axes, Polearms, Lances, Hammers, Shields, and even those radiating demonic and holy energies, showing what kind of weapons they were.

What... the hell was this!?

“Where is this?”

Unauthorized duplication: this tale has been taken without consent. Report sightings.

“What is this place…?”

“Aren’t we at the lightning field…?”

All the people frowned as they surveyed the surrounding—except Venerable Passing. At this moment, he seemed to have realized something…!

Domain…!!

“The Legendary Domain that only Mid Gods possess…. How is this possible!!?” Venerable Passing’s body shivered in terror. Allen was a Mid God…?!

He was a Domain setting God…?!

When Venerable turned towards Allen, he was still sitting cross-legged with the eerie strange looking book floating in front of him. However, behind him was a tall massive tower. It was so tall that it seemed to be already touching the sky.

[ Solheim—The World of the Brave ]

A large banner was placed at the top of the tower with large strong words engraved on it.

Then, as Allen’s figure becomes the center of attraction, suddenly, Allen’s body shivered… and then, as if finally couldn’t suppress the flaring up blood inside him, a mouthful of blood spurted out crazily from his mouth. At the same time, all of his mental force and aura were thoroughly consumed. Blackness enshrouded his consciousness as his body fell to side the moment after and fell into a coma.

“Master…!!”

Allen’s terrible state alarmed Laura and along with Ouyang Yishuang and Venerable Passing, they rushed towards Allen. They had already ignored the fact that, the world they were just in started to vanish like an illusion, a mirage. And they had returned to the Field of Lightning…!

“Master, hang in there!!” Laura’s worried voice echoed in the entire dimension.

—A few days passed since he had finally succeeded trespassing his limits and ultimately understanding the Void Spider Buddha’s real essence and truth.

Roused by the warmth of candlelight, Allen gradually regained his consciousness.

The rock-hewn ceiling which suddenly greeted his eyes was quite familiar yet unfamiliar to him at the same time, giving the feel of a long history behind its creation. The mortal world rarely utilized such rough building materials, especially for the modern world. Even if it were houses made from bricks, they would have much of its interior decked in beautiful decorum.

……This is,… where am I?

Just as he wanted to get out of bed, he couldn’t help but give a small moan before squatting to the ground. The sensation of pain that ran through his entire frame, bones, and muscles told of the reality of his previous endeavor.

His hands and chest were swathed with bandages. Although it did not reach the point of restricting all movement, it was enough to prevent any fine motor skills for rough movements. It would then seem a better option to rest quietly for now.

He then turned his body to the extent that would allow him to rest without feeling the stabs of pain.

Ah… this bedroom… is the castle's…?

Recovering from light-headedness, Allen finally recalled the familiar feeling he was getting on this place. He turned his head to look at his body. He even tried to move both of his arms and they were working fine. Some numbness but overall, no serious damage seemed to happened…

With his spiritual sense, Allen then examined his body’s internal state.

Much to his ecstasy, his body seemed to have undergone an insane transformation due to his cultivation. His internal organs had been quenched and rejuvenated, becoming more powerful. His tendons and bones became more tenacious and solid while all his body muscles began to fission unceasingly.

Each cell seemed to have been split into two and then split into four. The injured and weak cells he had suffered from his battle against Hanjin, was miraculously gone as if they were ruthlessly expelled from his body while the strong ones remained. Even the number of cells in the muscles layer began its increasing cell division, working even up until now—recovering his body to its ultimate peak.

Each cell became stronger and each of its layers turned thicker than before; the number of cell layers had doubled in just half an hour.

Though Allen’s body didn’t seem to have changed looking from his outward appearance, the intensity and strength of his body had violently increased for several times. Were someone to shoot him or pierce him with a magical blade, activating his dragon scales or exerting his magic power to protect himself should be already unnecessary—as perhaps it wouldn’t be able to pierce his skin and could only leave mark on it at the most.

“Hahaha…”

A carefree laugh came out of Allen’s mouth the moment he opened his eyes. Happiness still filled his mind. He had, after all, been stuck in the Lesser Deity realm for a long time and finally had a breakthrough now with the help of the martial cultivation technique to create his Domain and aid his breakthrough.

His strength soared by several times as his overall strength became twice as powerful as before at the least.

Just when he was about to call for someone, he saw a row of people leaning against the wall opposite the end of his bed. Si Mulan, Xia Xinyan, Yu Tingting, Xie Fang and Zhao Shen, they were all leaning against each other and breathing smoothly with their eyes slightly closed. They looked like they were sound asleep.

Allen quietly lifted up one corner of the curtains and he found that the sun was rising, it looked like a dazzling gold was sprinkled upon the earth.

"You... are awake?"

He turned around, and Laura was quietly walking towards him while kneading her sleepy eyes.

"Yeah, I'm awake. I’m sorry for worrying you,” Allen responded with a faint smile when suddenly, with teary eyes, Laura rushed towards him and firmly hugged him. The arms that were buckling behind him were powerful that they were almost embedded in his flesh.

“—Ouch, do it gently, please! I’m severely injured. Just give me some space, for now, will ya?”

That was a crude way of speech which stemmed from pain but while saying it, Allen’s mouth didn’t show the least bit angry and instead was looking at her with a sweet and gentle smile.

“Ma, mashtaaaar…!!”

“Mah, it’s fine… besides, I had succeeded in my advancement, didn’t I? Oh well, I guess this must be the result of my accumulated karma.”

Ahaha, the voice was tingled with a slight weariness.

Allen smiled as he returned the hug lightly while laughing in his usual style.
