Chapter 14: The Extraordinary Phenomenon of Breakthrough

Unconsciously, more than three months had flown by in the blink of an eye.

The Blood Sea World.

Rumble...

The Blood Sea roared and churned incessantly.

Many Blood Dream Elves on the Blood Dream Elf Island prostrated themselves on the ground, beginning to pray and chant devoutly to the great Father God.

At this moment, both Gune himself and the demonic secondary soul had entered the system's idle state for promotion—the advancement from the sixth rank to the seventh rank, the rank of Extraordinary Master.

At this moment, the demonic secondary soul was within the Blood Sea, thus causing the strange phenomena in the Blood Sea World.

At this moment, inside the secret chamber where Gune himself sat cross-legged.

A dense blood-colored mist, almost condensing into blood rain, filled the entire chamber.

After a moment.

Drip, drop...

The blood mist was so thick that it began to condense and gather into blood rain.

Before long.

Rustle...

A drizzling blood rain began to fall within the small secret chamber.

Then more blood mist naturally rose up, continuing to gather into blood rain and fall.

With Gune's breakthrough, this small secret chamber had manifested a peculiar and extraordinary phenomenon.

At the same time.

Over the entire Star Observation Tower, a faint blood mist weather quietly descended.

Students walking in the corridors looked at the gradually rising blood mist, which seemed to harbor a faintly terrifying feeling deep within; they looked around in bewilderment, their expressions stunned.

As the blood mist spread, it grew thicker and thicker, and its coverage area expanded.

A student reading a book on the steps noticed that the white pages of the book were tinged with a crimson blood color, and he himself began to look ferocious and hideous.

"Awoo—"

Suddenly, a high-pitched and excited wolf howl rang out from within the blood mist.

It was a student whose extraordinary profession was the three-star "Blood Wolf Warrior," unable to control the power of his Blood Wolf bloodline, transforming on the spot.

Rustle...

Several bats also swiftly took to the air; these were members of the blood race.

They flew rapidly in the air, greedily sniffing and devouring the blood power in the air.

The blood power contained in the blood mist was so pure and rich that they eagerly sought to obtain it.

Some students with less firm willpower had already lost their self-awareness in the blood mist, standing motionless like puppets.

"All students, quickly enter the dormitories and activate the restrictions."

"All guards and all faculty members, immediately enter defensive positions."

As chaos began to emerge, a deep voice resounded throughout the sky above the Star Observation Tower.

Immediately, the many extraordinary beings stationed among the students and the numerous extraordinary mentors began to take action.

High above the Star Observation Tower.

Three "Divine Envoys," all dressed in white academic robes, gathered at this spot.

The three looked at the blood mist that had already spread to every corner below, their brows slightly furrowed.

Moreover, the blood mist had begun to diffuse upward from below.

"Could it be... that Gune has broken through?" a middle-aged man with a shaved head said softly.

"If not him, who else could create such an extraordinary phenomenon?" Muland said softly.

"It's truly astonishing! Even when a peak ninth-rank transcendent advances to divine envoy, it's hard to produce such a bizarre scene."

"You must know, this Gune possesses a Divine Crown, and his Divine Crown is even more powerful than Nigel's." Muland squinted, a look of joy on his face.

The stronger Gune was, the happier he naturally became.

After all, he, Muland Elkriss,

was one of the founders of the Transcendent Association's 'Pioneer Corps.'

And that was why Gune had come to the Star Observation Tower instead of elsewhere.

"Even when Nigel broke through, there were no signs. Even if a Divine Crown stronger than Nigel's produced signs when breaking through, it shouldn't radiate this far."

"Look how joyfully those five little bats are flying. The pure energy contained in this blood mist is truly remarkable."

"And those few students over there with weak willpower are trapped in the blood mist, having lost themselves." The bald man pointed downward and said.

"This blood mist contains a strange power of blood. It's no longer pure energy; it already possesses some extraordinary properties." The extremely aged old man 'Heirusa,' who had been silent all along, spoke.

"Oh?"

Muland and the bald man 'Moranchi' both looked over.

"You should know, this young man named Gune is the vassal of a great being."

"From the bizarre and strange nature of the Blood Dream Arena, you should also know how astonishing the powerful being called the Nightmare Lord is."

"As his vassal, he is bound to have extraordinary qualities. The strange properties in this blood mist are proof that he is different from ordinary transcendents."

Deep in Heirusa's eyes, it seemed as if the cosmos and stars were revolving.

He was rapidly analyzing the strange properties of this powerful blood mist.

...

Inside the secret chamber.

Gune naturally knew nothing of the strange effects he was causing in the outside world.

At that moment, Gune's physical body, soul, source power, blood sea, and even the scarce annihilation energy of the Death God Beast were undergoing layer-by-layer transformation under the operation of the Twilight Source Code via the idle system.

Meanwhile, Gune himself was in the process of constructing the layers of his Soul Source Core.

The condensation of the Soul Source Core depends on the strength of the soul, the depth of source power, and the toughness of the physical body.

The texture of the condensed Soul Source Core also varies.

An ordinary Soul Source Core has one pattern.

But even an ordinary one-pattern core is something many sixth-rank transcendents can only dream of.

Then there is the two-pattern Soul Source Core.

Those highly ambitious transcendents,

such as the former senior Nigel, Augushan, and the many transcendents who had long settled in the later stages of the sixth rank in the Elemental Forbidden Ground, all aimed to condense a two-pattern Soul Source Core.

Moreover, a two-pattern Soul Source Core requires a certain foundation of insight into the mysteries; otherwise, it is impossible to condense.

Once a two-pattern Soul Source Core is condensed, it can bring them greater strength and deeper potential.

At the very least, advancing to the eighth rank, or even the ninth rank, would not be a problem.

A three-pattern Soul Source Core is more difficult.

A three-pattern Soul Source Core requires a soul, source power, and physical body that surpass the sixth rank to build such a foundation.

At the same time, it requires enough mysteries to support it.

A three-pattern Soul Source Core is generally only condensed by transcendent geniuses from major powers.

As for the higher-level four-pattern Soul Source Core, it is an extremely rare existence.

At that moment, Gune had already passed the condensation of the first and second patterns and was condensing the third layer of the Soul Source Core's patterns.
