Chapter 33: Breakthrough After Breakthrough
The battlefield was drowned in blood. Shin's Abyssal Void Sword released a terrifying aura, drinking the essence of every demon he cut down. Their screams echoed across the northern district, but to Shin, they were nothing more than pigs and dogs waiting to be slaughtered.
Every swing of his sword split mountains, every step crushed the ground into dust.
"Kill! Kill! Kill!" Shin roared, his body and qi surging like an endless sea.
Then—
"Ding! Host has reached Foundation Establishment, Level 7!"
"Ding! Host has reached Foundation Establishment, Level 8!"
"Ding! Host has reached Foundation Establishment, Level 9!"
Shin's qi exploded outward like a tidal wave, shattering the sky. His body shook as if chains were breaking inside him.
"Ding! Host has broken through—Core Formation Realm, Level 1!"
But it didn't stop. He slaughtered more demons, rivers of blood staining the earth red. For three days straight, Shin fought without stopping, his Abyssal Void Sword drinking demon blood like wine.
"Ding! Host has reached Core Formation, Level 9!"
Suddenly, his core turned dazzling, radiating with golden light.
"Ding! Host has transformed—Golden Core Realm, Level 1!"
The golden core hummed like a divine sun, suppressing heaven and earth. Shin kept killing, each demon's blood feeding his sword and cultivation.
Golden Core 1 → 9.
Nascent Soul 1 → 9.
Soul Formation 1 → 9.
The breakthroughs were endless, like drinking water.
The sky trembled. Heaven and earth shook. A monstrous aura erupted.
"Ding! Host has reached Void Realm, Level 3!"
In just one month and twelve days, Shin had climbed from a mere Foundation Establishment Level 6 to Void Realm, Level 3. If word spread, everyone would scream the same:
A monster… a freak… not human!
On the battlefield, silence fell. The octaplanet cultivators, who had rushed to help, stood frozen. Their strongest experts were only at Soul Formation, yet this mortal boy had already stepped into Void Realm!
The demons retreated in fear, their tide broken. But high above the battlefield, the sky cracked open.
A pair of scarlet eyes glared from the void. The air grew suffocating, flames and darkness spreading endlessly.
A furious roar thundered across the heavens:
"WHO… DARES SLAUGHTER MY CLAN?!"
The Demon Lord had awakened.
