Kalawarner had reached her limit, but she still hadn't broken through. To continue assisting her cultivation, they had to wait for her to digest the life essence in her belly, further refine her Magic Power, and then try again.
The blue-haired, large-breasted onee-san was out of commission, but Amano Yuuma and Mitelt were still hungry.
After ensuring Kalawarner was no longer in danger, Ethan could finally let loose and engage in dual cultivation with them.
Both Fallen Angel beauties were already A-rank. Dual cultivation with them yielded slightly more benefits than with Kalawarner, but the effect was negligible until Ethan breached his own bottleneck.
The real reason he was reluctant to stop dual cultivation was that during the previous three sessions, he had vaguely sensed the rhythm of this specific realm. But when he tried to investigate closely, the feeling vanished.
When Ethan focused entirely on dual cultivation, he vaguely sensed the threshold of the Martial God realm.
He didn't know if this was a hallucination caused by his first outdoor sex-party or if he could genuinely break through to S-rank in this realm. Regardless, continuing dual cultivation certainly wouldn't hurt.
Besides, idle time would otherwise be spent staring blankly. He might as well feed the other two Fallen Angel beauties, viewing it as a good deed to help them improve their strength.
With the sky as their blanket and the earth as their bed, Ethan picked up the full, alluring, black-haired, large-breasted beauty and began a new round of conquest.
As Ethan immersed himself in dual cultivation, the previously hazy sensation became increasingly clear.
The earth, the sky, the breeze, the trees, the grass, the scattered stones...
The vast universe, the primordial chaos, the balance of Yin and Yang, the unification of the Five Elements...
His mind and body slowly sank into an indescribable state of enlightenment, and his entire being emitted a profound aura.
Even the three women cultivating with him experienced a strange, wonderful state of mind. Amano Yuuma and Mitelt felt as if their spiritual power had increased, and many spells they hadn't understood before suddenly became clear.
Kalawarner's reaction was the most direct. Trapped at B-rank, she effortlessly broke through her bottleneck, completing the evolution of her life essence. The light-blue Magic Power covering her body slowly deepened into a dark blue.
Martial Arts... Immortal Arts.... So, this is the Martial God realm...
Ethan trembled all over. His behemoth pressed against Amano Yuuma's tender flower-heart, injecting her with his most potent and powerful shot of essence yet.
This was the essence of someone who had just glimpsed the S-rank threshold, its quality a notch higher than before.
Amano Yuuma narrowed her eyes, twitching as she savored the dual climax of mind and body. Mitelt immediately took her place, swallowing the behemoth into her body so Ethan could continue his communion with the realm.
The wanton dual cultivation continued for a long time. Even Kalawarner, having just reached A-rank, later rejoined to assist Ethan's cultivation and insight.
Unfortunately, it ultimately failed to push Ethan to an S-rank breakthrough.
Although he couldn't break the bottleneck, the gains were still enormous. At the very least, he now fully understood the path forward for the Martial God realm.
To break through from Martial Saint to Martial God, the Dao rhyme one seeks must shift from the essence of Martial Arts itself toward the Heavens and Earth. When one achieves the unity of Heaven and Man, every move carries the Grand Tendency of the universe...
In simpler terms, it meant an attack could mobilize the energy of the world, increasing its power exponentially. An attack capable of destroying a small mountain indicated the arrival at the Martial God realm.
Having realized this, Ethan even formed some theories about the long-vanished Immortal Arts.
Combining his experience from extensive reading in his previous life, sensing and submitting to the world was the limit of Martial Arts. To advance further, one needed to defy the natural order.
And the 'Immortal' was precisely one of the symbols of defying Heaven!
The so-called Immortal Arts (Xian Dao) was about going against Heaven, embarking on a cultivation path where human power surpassed that of the world.
Without inherited knowledge, a Martial Artist who reached the Martial God realm through the unity of Heaven and Man would generally never think to do the opposite—which was necessary to embark on a completely new path of cultivation.
Because the transition from Martial Arts to Immortal Arts was so difficult, most worlds that had Immortal Arts also had an alternate path, allowing one to cultivate to immortality slowly, starting from the nurturing of Qi.
But this chaotic world lacked such a path. The brilliance of Immortal Arts, after a brief flourish, completely vanished from history, leaving behind only the truncated path of Martial Arts.
As for whether the disappearance of the Immortal Arts and its ultimate lineage was the work of powerful God-Class beings who have long existed...
The time period was too ancient to verify.
Whether the Immortal Arts were what Ethan suspected would also have to wait for him to personally verify later.
Beyond that, Ethan unexpectedly discovered the secret of this strange realm.
It wasn't a barrier. The term Formation (Array) was more appropriate, specifically a naturally formed Formation.
The probability of a natural Formation forming was incalculably small, and it could dissipate at any moment.
For example, a slight earthquake or the movement of a large stone could cause the Formation to instantly vanish.
In Neo-Japan, earthquakes were not uncommon. Ethan even suspected that this natural Formation was accidentally created after an earthquake.
If it had existed for a long time, it would be impossible for no news of it to have leaked out.
With Ethan's current level, he shouldn't have been able to gain insight into the world during dual cultivation. But things were different within this natural Formation. Rather than saying he gained insight into the world, it was more accurate to say he gained insight into this Formation that was naturally aligned with the world's order.
It was precisely for this reason that no matter how much he cultivated and gained insight, Ethan still couldn't break his bottleneck.
This Formation was peculiar, even containing rules of time and space, but compared to the complete world outside, it was still missing many crucial elements.
For Ethan to truly break through, he still needed to gain insight into the genuine Dao rhyme of the world.
However, having this experience was like finding a key. Unlike before, when he couldn't even find the door, now, with diligent cultivation, he would soon be able to successfully open the door to the Martial God realm.
Placing the three sticky girls onto the grass, Ethan conjured a mass of clear water to wash himself, then with a flash of light, he instantly put on a fresh set of clothes.
Awesome! The Instant Illusion talent is so convenient.
After a silent compliment, Ethan continued to conjure clear water and pour it over the three girls lying on the ground.
While cleaning them, he said, "I know how to get out now. Stop lying around and hurry up and get dressed."
The three women, still savoring the afterglow, instantly snapped to attention. While dual cultivation under the heavens was wonderful, if they could get out, they didn't want to spend another moment here.
This space was strange. The concept of time had become extremely blurry after their phones died. If Kalawarner's body hadn't given out, the four of them wouldn't have realized they had been trapped for so long.
"How did you suddenly figure out how to leave?"
Amano Yuuma let her Magic Power surge, shaking off the water droplets on her body. Then, with a flash of white light, her sexy, revealing black leather outfit covered the essential parts of her alluring body.
"It was that mysterious enlightenment from before..."
Ethan gave a simple explanation of the natural Formation's existence, not expecting Amano Yuuma and the others to understand much.
Unexpectedly, the mystical Eastern power still existed in this world, and Amano Yuuma and the others had actually heard of the term Formation.
By the time Ethan finished his explanation, Mitelt and Kalawarner were also dressed.
"Follow me..."
Ethan thought for a moment, then added, "Never mind if you can't keep up."
After gaining insight, he knew how to leave this place, but trying to explain the principle...
It was a situation where one could only understand through intuition, not through words.
Because the operation was relatively complex, Amano Yuuma and the others might not be able to follow completely. Fortunately, once he was outside, he could easily break this Formation.
Well, 'destroy' would be a more accurate word.
Amano Yuuma and the others followed Ethan as he weaved and wound through the space. At one point, Ethan pushed aside a large bluestone, and then uprooted an unidentifiable tree.
A few steps later, Ethan suddenly vanished from their sight.
Amano Yuuma and the girls looked at each other, utterly bewildered. Just then, the scene before them began to dissolve, like a photograph being ignited.
After leaving the Formation, Ethan looked back. The view was the scenery of Mt. Mitsu; the strange space was nowhere to be seen.
However, in his senses, that area was a patch of chaos.
Amano Yuuma and the girls failed to follow him out. Fearing they would panic, and despite feeling a slight pity, Ethan decisively summoned lightning and began to carpet bomb the area.
