Chapter 235: Entering The Starry Expanse, A Goddess...?
An evil smirk formed in Azmodeus\'s inner self.
He would surely be met with adversity after adversity in the days to come, which would most definitely lead to…
Loot!
Since the day he acquired the Infinite Evolution System, the only thing he\'d ever wanted was loot!
And with the ascension into the Starry Expanse right in front of him, that meant that new and wondrous loot was ready for the plucking!
With these thoughts in mind, Azmodeus sent out his divine sense. As a result, he was welcomed with the sight of countless starry objects blazing in the wormhole between dimensions.
"It\'s only through destruction that the most beautiful of things can be born…" Bing Nu Shen mumbled from the side.
The space they were in was a truly mesmerizing one…
"Indeed." Azmodeus spoke with a hint of awe, not because of the picturesque view but because this was the narrow tunnel that would lead him to untold levels of loot.
And what could possibly be better than loot…?
This question need not be answered. Instead, he put his arms behind his back and uttered, "Based on the energy fluctuations inside this wormhole, we still have quite a while before making it to the Starry Expanse. So, everyone should focus on cultivation. After all, it is unknown what we\'ll find upon crossing into a new world…"
With these words of prudence, he watched the girls wipe off the sweat on their foreheads as they moved toward the lounge area of the cave abode, which was where they typically cultivated.
After sitting down on various cultivation increasing mats, they got right down to it and began focused cultivation sessions.
Azmodeus inwardly smiled at this sight, as the girls were finally learning the way of a true ascetic. And for him, that meant some peace and quiet-
*Plop*
A busty dragon woman found her way onto his lap, as any notions of peacefulness were thrown straight out of the nearest vacuum of space!
Forget everything that I said before… These girls are truly incorrigible…
A deep sigh containing a multitude of different emotions nearly escaped his mouth before being quickly subdued by his emotion dullers.
I can\'t even sigh properly anymore… What a time to be alive…
Azmodeus didn\'t know how to properly quantify not being able to do something as simple as releasing air from one\'s mouth, but sometimes it was better to not understand something…
Nevertheless, like all things in life, his outlook was swept away by the long waves of time, as even inside a wormhole between two transcendent realities, time passed just the same as on the outside.
…
15,000 years later.
Azmodeus successfully broke through into the Divine Rank, allowing his physical body to go through a massive qualitative change.
Thereafter, his skin took on a sheen akin to a universe, dazzling and unparalleled in all its splendor!
With this important breakthrough, the Core of the Astral Plane was lost upon absorption, but the price was definitely worth it when one considered how much his physical strength improved.
The past shadow of his previous self was no longer in sight, as this breakthrough resulted in a strength increase so large that even Middle Solar Dynasty Realm experts would find it hard to compare!
That all went to show just how major a breakthrough into the Divine Rank truly was!
After all, in all of existence, only he was in the Divine Rank!
Although his Qi Cultivation Base had not improved much during this period of time, his Physical Existence having achieved the maximum rank more than made up for it.
With my cultivation inside the Late Planet Forger Realm and my Physical Existence within the Divine Rank, along with my Iaijutsu and Crimson Death Technique at the Middle Solar Dynasty Rank, I should have enough strength to begin trudging through the Starry Expanse…
With this thought in mind, Azmodeus sent out his divine sense and saw the same scene of the Fallen Immortal Mountain spinning around in circles while floating through the endless wormhole.
However, there was something different about the view outside the mountain this time around.
Instead of there being no change in scenery, there was something different…
They say that when one is on their deathbed, they will see a bright golden light in a tunnel—a golden light that is said to lead one into the afterlife…
That was the only thought on his mind before everything inside the wormhole violently vibrated as the lone mountain was pulled into the golden light at the end of the tunnel!
Although they say that… They never said it would be so violent…
Following this thought, Fallen Immortal Mountain and all its inhabitants were shot into the tunnel of light, with their destination up to destiny to decide.
…
It has been approximately 15,235 years since Azmodeus and gang were transported into the wormhole between layers of reality.
It was on the first day of the new year that a quaint little village was thrown into an uproar, as a giant mountain quite literally fell out of the sky and flattened their Ancestral Mountain!
"What the hell was that!?" The Village Chief\'s son exclaimed.
His fun-time with a slave woman was interrupted by a rumbling so large that it felt like the whole world was flipped on its head.
"Who dares to interrupt the smexy time of this young master!? Truly Courting Death!" He shouted from the top of his lungs as he stormed out of his luxurious Viking-style house, heading straight toward the chief\'s residence.
"I will have my father explain this disturbance to me! For this is truly unacceptable!"
With this intent in mind, he took lofty strides toward where his father should be, utterly ignoring the screams and cries of all the peasants.
Don\'t these dirty plebs know when to be quiet while in the presence of awesomeness!?
A vein appeared on his forehead as he was about to vehemently berate the commoners for speaking in his presence.
"You fuc-"
However, just as he started to speak, a sight beyond words fluttered down from the skies like a heavenly goddess!
