Chapter 59: Breakthrough Mania Part 5
Chapter 59: Breakthrough Mania Part 5
.......
Azmond couldn't think of a single feeling that beat the feeling of gaining more and more power with each passing second.
He even believed that cultivation beat snu-snu in terms of the amount of pleasure he got out of it.
It didn't seem possible to think that way, but Azmond was a very unusual man.
If he were to be asked whether he would rather have sweet snu snu time with His Little Ice Roll or cultivate for days on end, Azmond would choose cultivating 10 out of 10 times if he was doing it purely for his carnal desires, but in reality, he would choose to have a nice time with Crystalline every single time.
Not because of the snu snu, but because of the connection Azmond felt when he was around Crystalline...
It might be a little bit of a contradiction with his previous statement, but the time he spent with his Ice Queen was the only thing that could possibly pull him away from his unwavering will to cultivate.
.....
40 days later.
Azmond was floating in the same spot that he attempted every past break through for the past few months, as he was now firmly at the gap that lay between the peak of the 12th Cultivation Base Condensation in the 14th Stage of Quantum Qi Condensation and the 15th Stage of Quantum Qi Condensation.
It was a very special stage for him, as he would gain full comprehension of his Quantum Gate Skill instead of the partial comprehension that he had.
A partial comprehension that almost got himself killed the last time he used it...
This was obviously a major turning point in Azmond's combat power that would allow him to fight even stronger opponents than he normally would be capable of dealing with when only relying on his base stats.
He was able to cross the vast chasm that lay between the peak of the Golden Core Realm and the Nascent Soul Realm just by using this skill when it was previously used.
It was a skill that allowed him to one-shot the Goblin King, who had been in the Nascent Soul Realm for many years and was definitely one of the strongest cultivators within the Early Nascent Soul Realm!
That went to show just how much of a momentous occasion this was!
...
"..."
Azmond was floating thousands of meters in the sky with a tranquil look on his bloody face. A very vast contrast indeed...
His entire body was a complete mess, with not a single bone in his body left unshattered.
In fact, he would not even be capable of standing if he were on the ground right now.
Azmond was only able to keep his body sitting up straight because of the Qi he was constantly draining to keep his body afloat.
It takes a massive amount of Qi to keep a human body floating this high in the air for so long, and that's not to mention the extreme amount of mass Azmond has gained with every breakthrough he has had in his physical strength so far.
Azmond had to weigh thousands of pounds, and with all that weight compacted and refined inside of his chiseled body...
It was an unbelievable thing to think about, but the living proof was right there in the form of Azmond.
Well, Half Dead Azmond...
He was barely hanging on to his life.
On that note, this was by far the breakthrough with the highest lethality rate out of every single one he has made it past so far.
Nonetheless, Azmond was only still floating right now because of his absurd amount of energy storage, and he was only conscious because of his will, which was unwilling to bend or break!
...
'You finally brought up the heat enough to catch my attention, you dumb clowns!!' Azmond tried to speak through bloodied teeth, but nothing was able to come out due to all of the bones in his jaw shattering a few days ago.
But, it looks like the 'Clowns' Azmond was referring to got the point, as the same phenomena he has seen try to form many times over the last few days tried to appear again.
Nevertheless, even in spite of the looming threat, Azmond was constantly taunting whatever higher beings were messing with him.
He truly was as fearless as they came.
...
Breakthroughs in the Quantum Qi Condensation Realm were supposed to be difficult, and you were supposed to feel immense amounts of pain during every breakthrough.
However, what Azmond was going through was on a completely different level than what someone who would normally be attempting to break through the 15th Stage of Quantum Qi Condensation would be going through right now.
Assuming there were others who were able to make it into the Quantum Qi Condensation Realm, that was...
...
'I can feel the gap between the 14th Stage of Quantum Qi Condensation and the 15th Stage of Quantum Qi Condensation breaking! I just need to give it a little push, and I will have it!' Azmond thought to himself with a maniacal grin as every part of his body lay limp beside him.
He no longer had the extra Qi to waste on keeping non-essential parts of his body afloat, as even with his insane amount of energy storage capacity, this breakthrough into the 15th Stage of Quantum Qi Condensation was taking everything he had.
Azmond wouldn't need to be using so much energy to keep his body going if not for the illusive beings beyond the heavens trying to harm him with every crack he made at the wall that would lead him into the 15th Stage of Quantum Qi Condensation.
It was almost like whatever all-powerful beings currently watching over him with their pompous attitudes were... scared.
Scared of what Azmond would become if he succeeded in what he was trying to accomplish...
...
"BRREEEAAKKK!!!!" Azmond screamed at the top of his lungs.
His defiance against the heavens came out through a face that just barely managed to regenerate enough for him to be capable of performing this action.
Blood was flying out of Azmond's disfigured mouth as the time to breakthrough was presented to him.
As he approached the last second he needed before he was able to break through, something unexpected happened...
A giant bolt of lightning, many times larger than a modern-day skyscraper, came spiraling down from the heavens as it landed directly on his already decrepit figure!
