Book 6, Chapter 120: All-Out

Achilles the Iinally proposed the Ascension plan

As the first leader of the Astrals, Achilles the Ienius cultivator After obtaining his spirit body, he hadthe peak of Astral strength

Afterwards, however, he had failed to advance even a single centimeter forward

Achilles very quickly realized that he had most likely already reached the power limit of his spirit body and thus would never take another step forward

To overcome the limits of his spirit body, he had come up with the Ascension plan

The Ascension plan, in essence, sought to elevate the Astrals, and it was very sirade their cultivation system However, while Achilles had been in the process of developing this Ascension plan, it had changed somewhat

Diomedes had left too early to knohat had happened afterwards, but he could still tell that Achilles ell and truly dead However, his current strange state of existence gave him some unique properties

These unique properties included the illusion Method Power that had surrounded and protected the “Desolate Beasts”

In other words, the Ascension plan had ultimately been unable to remove the cultivation limits of a spirit body However, it did allow the Astrals to produce an individual who could use Method Power

“How fascinating There was no actual breakthrough, but with soe creature was born,” Su Chen muttered to himself “So as the Vitality Tunnel plan?”

“It was a Desolate Beast,” Diomedes replied bluntly

“A Desolate Beast?” Su Chen and the others were taken aback

Diomedes blandly said, “Did you really think that the ate of attacks? There actually is a Desolate Beast living underneath Gloom City However, it’s not under the Astrals’ control”

So, the Astrals had chosen this location as their capital not only because of the unique properties of the ground, but also because there was a Desolate Beast living right underneath them

The Astrals clearly hoped that they would be able to use it as their last line of defense

However, Desolate Beasts were not easy to control The Intelligent Races had only ever le Desolate Beast, and that was the Harpies’ Chaos Tower Even so, that Desolate Beast had co lorified camel

If the Astrals actually awakened the Desolate Beast, then they would be the ones suffering a calah to control a Desolate Beast

After countless experiments, they had concluded that they would never be able to control the Desolate Beast Naturally, the next step was to look into other possibilities for the Desolate Beast

The Vitality Tunnel plan came about as a result of this initiative

The Astrals had given up on trying to control the hibernating Desolate Beast and instead began looking into extracting its powerful vitality while it re with vitality is extracting it fro it up This process requires extremely powerful consciousness techniques Just the Astrals theh to do it, unless they breach the realm of Method Power,” Diomedes explained calmly

Su Chen muttered under his breath, “So this Method Power is not only used to deceive us, but also to deceive that hibernating Desolate Beast?”

Diomedes heard him and replied, “Yes If my prediction is correct, then Achilles and Kapius most likely sacrificed themselves at a critical moment to produce Method Power This allowed them to pilfer vitality from the Desolate Beast In other words, they essentially became vitality extractors that operate at all times by way of the Vitality Tunnel and other various Arcana Techniques The illusion Method Power, naturally, serves to deceive both you all and that Desolate Beast, ulti”

“What a brilliant plan,” Su Chen ently harnessed the strength of a Desolate Beast in this h they were able to borrow the Desolate Beast’s powerful vitality, its offensive capacity asted

Even though this seeave the the Desolate Beast would

Unfortunately, they had still failed in the end If the Astrals had known that this would be the outcoht have chosen to just awaken the Desolate Beast fro

But now, the Desolate Beast had already died in its sleep at the coainst those strange “Desolate Beasts” had sied the Desolate Beast After all, only a creature like that could withstand so

As it died, the Astrals’ final ace in the hole had died along with it

They really and truly had no trump cards left

After the joint arain resuht flashes of light lit up the sky, Gloom City was rapidly enveloped in a wave of flaa has fallen in battle”

“Elder Bracken has fallen in battle

“Elder Amailah has fallen in battle”

Report after report of fallen elders arrived before Menelaus As the battle continued to rage on, the dying Astrals’ social tiers gradually becaher At this point, even in-office elders were beginning to die

“Menelaus the Wise, the great Astral race is dying Please, think of so,” one of the Astral elders pleaded

“We Astrals have never been alive,” Menelaus said gently, “We died a long tiile bodies of ours”

“But our consciousnesses are still present, and our will is still fir our resolute will,” one of the elders cried out in anguish

“There is no such thing as true iently muttered to hi, so long that they viewed themselves as supernatural entities, with no further need to advance
