Chapter 332 Let“s strive for number six!

"Damn."

With the giant’s attention now placed on them, Alex has no choice but to move Alina and himself out of its way.

He pulled Alina’s arm as he backed away, making sure that the sword descending on them will not hit them.

"Boom!" Alex and Alina smoothly dodged the first sword strike, which destroyed the ground they were standing on earlier.

The ground broke into extremely tiny pieces which even Alex had a hard time discerning.

"Ugh!"

But even when they managed to dodge the initial attack, Alex and Alina were unable to prevent themselves from getting harmed by the sword qi emanating from the sword.

"Puchi puchi puchi!"

Lacerations and gashes appeared on Alex’s and Alina’s skin, which was the effect of the sword qi striking their bodies. These wounds were deep, even for Alex’s standards.

After he saw these wounds, Alex’s eyes narrowed into thin slits as he realized that even when he and Alina already had tough bodies and strong defenses, they were still unable to get unscathed from this sword qi.

"Tsk." As he felt the pain from the wounds that he just received, Alex’s lip thinned as he realized that he and Alina were facing an uphill battle here.

"Sigh.... After seeing that giant, I already knew that it is extremely strong." Alex muttered to himself as Alina teleported the both of them 5 kilometers away from the giant.

"After all, I can feel that 35 Dao Domain Practitioners and 5 Immortal Stage Practitioners sacrificed themselves to summon this giant." Alex muttered ruefully as he shook his head. "With that kind of sacrificed roster, the giant summoned would of course be extremely powerful!"

Even with the 50% power reduction on Immortal Cultivation in this word, Alex knew that it will be extremely hard for him to win against this Savage Sword Giant.

After all, the amount of sacrifices used to summon this giant gave it the strength equivalent to that of a Sixth Stage Being!

"F**k this. I do not like fighting a Sixth Stage being head-on like this." Alex muttered to himself as he saw that the wound Alina inflicted on the giant earlier has now healed. "We could be easily trashed...."

Right now, even with all the power that he gained, Alex knew that his power has not yet reached the Sixth Stage.

His Abyss Magic, which was currently his strongest, was already around the Fifth Stage. His Esper Ability has the power of the Fifth Stage too, as its firepower was just as powerful as his Abyss Magic. As for his Conqueror’s Aura, Alex also knew that its power was also around Fifth Stage, although its specialty lay on mental and soul manipulation.

As for his Immortal Cultivation and Temperature Control Power, they were still stuck at First Stage of Power.

Combining all of this together makes Alex approximately a Peak Fifth Stage Being.

For him to reach this kind of stage in s short amount of time was already impressive. It just shows how much talent he had and the luck that accompanies him.

But still, his Peak Fifth Stage Power is not enough to let him win against the Savage Sword Giant.

"Sigh.... If I can just reach the Sixth Stage today, then everything will already be fine." Alex thought to himself as he saw the giant rushing towards them again. "But I cannot just do that easily..."

From what Alex knew, the gulf that exists between a Fifth Stage Being and a Sixth Stage Being was so massive that lots of luck, talent, dedication, comprehension, and time were needed in order to bridge this gulf.

One can understand this statement clearly between a Dao Domain Practitioner(Fifth Stage) and an Immortal Stage Practitioner(Sixth Stage).

For a Dao Domain Practitioner to become an Immortal Stage Practitioner, he/she must have the right amount of talent to break through the shackles. Not only that, but the practitioner must also consolidate his/her Dao Domains to create his/her Immortal Soul, which requires both comprehension and luck.

Time was also needed for this breakthrough, as it will take a long time to build the foundation for the breakthrough. Then there’s the Immortal Tribulations too, which every newly ascended Immortal must resist too.

All of these factors combined together makes it extremely hard for a Dao Domain Practitioner(Fifth Stage) to become an Immortal Stage Practitioner(Sixth Stage).

These same difficulties apply on other power systems too, which made the Sixth Stage a benchmark stage in all of the power systems in the Multiverse.

Of course this means that Alex’s Abyss Magic, Esper Magic, Conqueror’s Aura, and Superhuman Power also have their own bottlenecks from reaching Sixth Stage.

"Sigh... If I want to fight against this giant evenly, I have to reach Sixth Stage from at least one of my five powers..." Alex thought to himself grimly as Alina teleported both of them away again. "But I cannot do that right now since I still don’t have the right foundation, time, resources and comprehension needed for the breakthrough..."

With this worrying realization that he had, Alex could only sigh, as he realized that right now, he can only rely on the help of the TimeMasters.

"Tsk, I thought I will have a smooth sailing in this world. But as it turns out... My power is still not enough right now!" Alex shouted to himself as his face turned grim.

"When I faced Annie’s mother... I was powerless to affect her, even when I already used my strongest attacks." Alex thought to himself with irritation as he gritted his teeth. "Of course I can accept my weakness at that time, since that woman was most probably the Great TimeMaster. But for me to run away right now from a giant that has been defeated by TimeMasters before? That’s just not right!"

As Alex reached this line of thought, the only thing that he could do was clench his fists as his easy-going attitude earlier has now disappeared.

"Hmph! Once I get through this situation, I will start paving my path to reach the Sixth Stage!" Alex declared to himself as determination appeared on his eyes. "Only when I reach that point that I can assure our victory in this world!"
