Chapter 278 – The Strange Nascent Soul (2/2)

Within the white fog, Lei Yu sat there as he sensed his Gold Core was constantly trembling. The powerful energy contained inside felt as if it was about to burst out.

Lei Yu clenched his jaws as his entire body was drenched in sweat. All his clothes were now wet and sweat droplets were splashing onto the ground from his hair.

Lei Yu clenched his fists and spread out his arms before roaring into the air, “Agghh!!”

His roar shot through the clouds, showing how much pain Lei Yu was currently in.

“Bang~!”

A muffled sound came from inside Lei Yu’s body as the purple Gold Core exploded like a bomb. The purple internal energy acted like it had just lost its home and started madly smashing around. Lei Yu clenched his jaws as he fought against the pain from the explosion before condensing all that internal energy.

Gradually, his internal energy formed a mass as it floated in a central location of his dantian. But there was no way he could keep it up like this because a slight slip of his concentration would cause the internal energy to rush out of his body. If that were to occur, all those years of cultivation will disappear into thin air. Lei Yu couldn’t keep controlling it in perpetuity and couldn’t move his body anywhere either. “What should I do? I need to move it to another place that can hold my internal energy!”

Lei Yu looked all over inside his body and then it struck him, “That infant’s body!”

Since Lei Yu couldn’t keep his concentration on it for that long, he locked onto his target and didn’t bother dwelling on the possible outcomes. All his internal energy started rushing like mad into that infant body at the edge of his dantian.

Absorb! The infant acted as if it was dying of thirst before crazily absorbing all of Lei Yu’s internal energy. At the same time, Lei Yu started to feel relaxed.

All the power from his years of cultivation was absorbed into the infant with four different colored limbs, purple body and a white head!

Lei Yu sighed out heavily before attempting to control it. The energy was transferred out of the infant’s right arm, and immediately, Lei Yu felt that his own right arm was filled with an explosive power. He then closed his eyes and clenched his right fist before throwing out a punch. One could hear a loud “boom” off into the distance as the ground started shaking.

“What a powerful force!” Lei Yu then cried out, “What’s going on?”

Lei Yu returned the energy to the infant’s right arm. Why did his own right arm suddenly display such a powerful force? Could it be…? Could it be that it’s the body of a Nascent Soul?

Lei Yu could only feel his heart quivering. Could it be that in such a short period of time, he had broken through the Gold Core stages and reached the Nascent Soul stage?

“No! Impossible! This is impossible!” Even Lei Yu couldn’t believe it could be like this. He again tried transferring a portion of power from the head of the infant to himself.

Lei Yu sucked in a cool breath as his mind felt extremely clear. He released his spiritual perception and realized that he could sense at least a dozen kilometers more than his previous self.

(T/N: I've read ahead about 50 chapters but the author hasn't explained where this sudden power-up came from. I think and hope it will be revealed towards the end of the novel.)
