I opened my eyes, clicking my tongue. I'll have to face another tribulation. Honestly, after everything lately, I was getting tired of heavens trying to kill me every time I improved slightly.
But the clouds dissipated immediately.
The pressure vanished so abruptly it left the space strangely hollow afterward. One moment the heavens were gathering. The next, silence.
The frown on the red sun deepened.
"What's going on?" I asked as I stood up.
I immediately checked inward, expecting instability or interruption. Instead, what I found made me pause completely.
Feeling within my body, there was no need to face a Heavenly Tribulation; I was already in the Origin Realm.
The breakthrough had happened.
Cleanly.
Completely.
Without resistance.
Without lightning trying to erase my existence from reality.
"How did you do that?" he asked.
"I don't know," I replied. "Could it be because I've already attained Origin Realm with my other body?"
