Chapter 178 A Valley Of Floating Mountains

178  A Valley Of Floating Mountains

The powerful undulation from the huge golden door caused Zeras to turn his head towards the direction as an order rang throughout the small place they were in.

"Please, exit using the back door..."Making his way out with Quinn, they both arrived outside, the golden door larger than ever.

The deep rumbling sound could be heard emerging from the door causing the ground to begin shaking as if an ancient beast was slowly awakening.

NGH NGH NGH

The door slowly opened and as soon as there was a small space, all the envoys immediately rose to the air led by a silver-haired old man.

"Pass me your strongest constellation energy once you hear my order..." The silver-haired old man said as the envoys gave a nod staring at the door.

The earthquake suddenly began spiking, as the sound grew even more echoing throughout the entire planet, and when it seemed the ground would begin shattering apart...

"Now..." The silver-haired man suddenly roared as all envoys flared brightly as if each of them was a constellation of stars.

The bright light blinded Zeras followed by an earth-shattering sound of a wave of unfathomable aura bursting out one of the most powerful congregations on Earth and all gathered towards a particular figure.

Old Man Mang's entire body burst out with powerful silver light, as his silver hair became fifty centimeters long and his skin seemed to no longer be made of flesh but silver light.

The bright silver light emanating from Old Man Mang seemed to have been amplified a thousand times when the congregation of the light of the other envoys reached him, as he became so bright his figure was no longer unnoticeable.

Old Man Mang reveled in this feeling of absolute power as his blue eyes created a phantom of an entire galaxy orbiting within, but he could feel his body quickly reaching its limit and knew he should quickly end this before he completely broke down.

Slowly raising the staff in his hands, whose different runic lines slowly began awakening, flashing with so much light they weren't a bit inferior to his, but even then some of the runes of the staff were still not awakened as if the amount of energy to awaken them wasn't enough making one wonder just what amount would be enough, but Old Man Mang ignored that and pointed the staff towards the door.

The entire space in front of the staff seemed to have drained of life and color as the entire world for a fraction of a second seemingly erupted in a flash of black and white.

"Voidspace Art: 8th form..."

RUMMBLLEE

Terror Of Collapsing Black-hole "

KAAAAABOOOOOOOOOOM

"ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRGH...."  Zeras screamed out in pain as he felt a horrifying shockwave sneak towards him already crushing him just from its might alone but a figure quickly appeared in front of him as a dome of mana covered the both of them protecting him from the shockwave. Even then, his hear drum exploded from the sound.

"NOOOOOOWWWW..." Old Man Mang roared out as each of the envoys enveloped their family genius in a dome of energy and flung them towards the small opening that Old Man Mang created in the door.

The last Zeras remembered was his eardrum bursting apart, and then violently flung towards the blinding golden light of the door before getting rapidly consumed by darkness.

-- -- --

The sound of layered breathing could be heard as the golden rays of light from the door disappeared and a figure could be seen on his knees in front of the now tightly shut golden door with an unremarkable staff placed beside him.

"Are you alright, Old Mang..." The envoys all said as they moved closer but Old Man Mang stretched out his hands stopping them as he grabbed his staff and leaned on it before his eyes turned towards the door, unconcealed reverence and fear in them.

"It is said that anyone who opens the Celestial Titans Cultivation Ruins door will know of a secret that couldn't be imagined..." A burly 2.5 meters man, barechested said as he looked at Old Man Mang.

It was the envoy of the Kratos family

"I have learned of the secret..." Old Man Mang mumbled absentmindedly as all the envoys immediately lost their refined aura as they all stared at him like curious kids.

"This power, This realm..." Old Man Mang said, struggling to come to terms with the reality of what he just witnessed.

"What's wrong with the realm," Another of the envoys asked what was in the mind of others.

"Whoever created this, is far, far, far beyond the Galaxy Rank Stage..."

"WHAT!!!!" The envoy screamed out letting loose their aura that tore apart space around them.

They just couldn't believe it, No, it was impossible!

The Galaxy Rank Stage is not the peak of cultivation!!!?

The sound of meandering streams through rocks could be heard, a golden-colored liquid-like water poured through the small space eroding through the mountain, and beside the steam was the body of a young man dressed in an EIA uniform.

He lay on the ground as if dead, but soon there was a slight twitch to his fingers, followed by the quivering of his eyebrows and his dark blue eyes slowly opened.

Zeras looked at the golden cloud in front of him blankly for some time unable to make sense of anything, but soon the control of his body came to him as he sat up from the ground.

Slowly raising his hand to his eyes, he twisted it up and down for some seconds his gaze blank.

"Where I'm I..."

 He soon tightly held his head in his hands as massive amounts of memories flooded into his head.

"Wait!! I'm here..." Zeras screamed out jumping from the ground as he looked around him and was gobsmacked by what he saw next.

"A Valley Of Floating Mountains?"

Zeras looked into the distance discovering he was standing at the base of a particularly high mountain and into the distance were thousands of other mountains, some so high he couldn't even see their peak but the most eye-catching thing about the place was the golden river which was on top of every mountain and linked all the mountains to each other.

Zeras looked at the strange golden river as he bent to it, scooping a little In his hands and sniffing it.

There was no particular smell to the river making Zeras take a single lick but was shocked by what happened next.

"+1 points of energy."

"Total energy: 765/766"

"What!!! It can increase my energy point just from a lick..." Zeras asked shocked when he soon furrowed his eyebrows as he finally noticed the abnormalities in the air and that was the concentration of the Mana.

"It is at least ten times more than the one in my dorm room!!!?" Completely beyond his control, his pores opened up as the Mana in the air flooded into them and soon dwelled inside his Mana core which flared powerfully.

"Not only that. There's something strange, the quality in the Mana is completely different, as just these small droplets and I feel as if I'll breakthrough soon..." Zeras muttered as he thought deeply about it before looking around the place.

This was the perfect time for a breakthrough. He had been a the Peak of the star rank stage for a while now, perhaps, it was time to breakthrough to the Meteor rank stage...

Entering the golden-colored river, Zeras sat down cross-legged in it, the river submerging him to the chest as he closed his eyes and activated his Mana technique.

Just like before, the breathing was in a strange rhythm, sometimes just becoming fast while sometimes they were so slow they almost couldn't be heard.

The Mana in the air flooded with speed towards Zeras in a crazy amount as the entire mist below the mountain which was heavily condensed Mana started stirring as they became unstable and slowly coalesced together around him.

"BOOOOOM"

Zera's body shook uncontrollably as the Mana surrounding him suddenly flooded into his body causing him to feel horrifying pain.

"ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRGH" Zeras clenched his teeth tightly as the Mana was like a wild untamed beast passing through every opening in his body drawing blood from them due to the pressure.

The pain was more than anything he had ever witnessed as his Mana core flared brightly absorbing more and more Mana though it had already been filled up.

Then a strange occurrence occurred. Zera's Mana core with the aid of the strange golden particules mixed in with the Mana present around the place suddenly began widening!!!

Zeras clenched his teeth tightly in pain as his fingers dug into the rocks beneath his feet while veins wriggled out of his body like a tumor making him look like some Veiny monster.

 Anyone who saw Zeras in this state would have been shocked senseless by what they were seeing because a simple cross-over breakthrough from a pseudo rank to the true rank wasn't supposed to be painful at all and just a smooth transition but with Zera's core abnormally widening didn't go according to the rules.

But his increased strength and strong but helped him from bursting into pieces due to the amount of Mana he was absorbing and also caused him to withhold more Mana than he normally would.

"Hmm, where is this? I should probably team up with my team? Wait, what is that?"
