Chapter 157 - Breakthrough to Level Nine (1/2)

Time passed, and under the red moon, blood began to ooze out of the pores of Lu Xuan’s skin.

His body was transforming.

Every single cell was continuing to change under the influence of the Taixu Origin Power. His body was literally being torn apart and rebuilt.

The blood oozing from his skin was all part of the process. While Lu Xuan was in extreme pain, he appeared calm and unfazed, as if the process was not even happening.

From his perspective, all the pain that he had been through in his past life surpassed what he was currently experiencing by a long shot.

This level of pain was hardly even able to faze him.

He knew that the key to his breakthrough to Level Nine Invincible Vajra level lay in the very process he was undergoing. That process could save him months, which was how long it would take for most people to gradually work through the whole process.

The night passed uneventfully, and when Lu Xuan opened his eyes again, the blood soaking his entire body had dried up, leaving him caked in dried blood.

Lu Xuan took control of his Spiritual Qi and cleaned up the dirty bloodstains all over him right away.

That was a minor trick. Many cultivators would stay isolated for months, even years, and that was how they kept themselves clean throughout that time.

Lu Xuan stretched for a bit, causing cracking sounds from all over his body, as though his bones were cracking and popping like popcorn.

“Invincible Vajra. It’s finally time,” Lu Xuan muttered to himself.

If he were to count what he’d experienced in his past life, too, that would actually make the second time Lu Xuan had made it to Invincible Vajra level.

He could be said to be very familiar with the whole thing by then. Coupled with the preparations he had been laying down for the past few months, he was absolutely cruising through the process.

However, when he extended his senses to that nearly exploding power harbored within his body, he felt as if he had gotten several times stronger right there and then, even compared when he had been at the same level back in his past life.

The gap was so huge that he could have defeated several iterations of himself from such a stage in his past life, even though he had been the best among those of similar levels.

Yet he had gotten even more powerful in his current life.

If he continued growing like this, he would probably grow to become something never before seen. If he were able to reach the very pinnacle again in his current life, he would become the most powerful among the Celestial Lords.

Lu Xuan dispelled the maze, and there was nothing left around him other than a whole bunch of dead monsters.

He could sense that quite a number of monsters had attempted to approach him during the night, but none of them had been able to get through the maze that Lu Xuan had set up.

They had no choice but to leave in a dejected manner. Those monsters simply acted on instinct, after all, and there was nowhere they could have broken through the barrier that Lu Xuan set up.

Lu Xuan only then came to pay attention to what had actually happened the previous night.

He logged into the dark web and saw the news, finding that the world of cultivators had been thrown into chaos.

The phenomenon was so prevalent that all of the internet was raving about what happened.

“The Bloody Moon is here. Huge monster sighted on Mount Tai!”

“The Possibility of the Coming of the Era of Gods!”

“This Is No Special Effect. No Need to Hide It All Anymore!”

Shocking videos could be seen under all those shocking titles.

Lu Xuan clicked on the videos and watched them, only to find that giant monsters were popping up everywhere.
