Chapter 286: A Dire Situation On Starfarer Island
...…
A crazy grin crept up Azmodeus's disfigured face as his blood-red eyes creased up. He wanted to see just how much he could take in!
He was not scared of some pain or even the occasional meat chunks blasting off his body…
What he was afraid of was not being able to do his utmost in order to become stronger!
He had to be the fastest! He had to be the best! He had to be the only one to accomplish it!
He had to be Azmodeus!
"Just break through already!!!" He bellowed to the skies, his energy spiraling out of control as he put everything he had into the circulation of Qi!
OOOM!
The level of energy contained within the small air bubble of the moon's center had already reached a point of no return!
RUMBLE!
The moon started to collapse in on itself as it could no longer withstand the sheer immensity of the energy pressing down on it!
Just as the moon began to expand and glow with an eruption of red fire in its core, a man attempting to defy the heavens managed to break through!
This breakthrough led to an increase in power infinitely close to the Low-Galactic Traverser Realm!
WAaa…
Azmodeus blasted out of the moon's center as the moon blew up the moment he left it.
FWIP!
He fully materialized in the void above, looking over his gains from this breakthrough.
"Half a step away from the Low-Galactic Traverser Realm. Furthermore, my realm advanced straight from the Early Black Hole Sovereignty Realm to the Late Stages of the Middle Black Hole Sovereignty Realm."
Azmodeus observed the most recent changes and realized that things were definitely going in the right direction. Most of which was due to the fact that his other half cultivated for thousands of years with each week that passed in the outside world.
"Well, hot shit… If I continue at the current pace I'm going at, I might just reach the Low-Galactic Traverser Realm before long."
Azmodeus clenched his fists and felt the immense starry power coursing through them.
But, of course, there was always more to be improved, and he still had a very long way to go before he reached the peak of the Starry Expanse.
With the pursuit of power at the forefront of his mind, he once again headed out, planning to knock some heads around until he got the loot that he needed.
"I remember one of the Galactic General's having memories pertaining to a large floating island in the Northern Expanse. Apparently, there are Half-Step Galactic Realm Experts in that location, and I would like to see just how many can square up before they hit the ground and tumble."
An evil grin crept up Azmodeus's glitchy, devil-like face as he blitzed through the void, hoping to reach Starfarer's Island before the next breakthrough came around!
Wouldn't it be too boring if he were already strong enough to one-shot Half-Galactic Lords by the time he reached his destination…?
Fast cultivation was so tough to cope with!

"So, what have you brought us here to discuss, Island King?"
A gruff voice echoed throughout the confines of a wide, spacious hall as tens of domineering figures were gathered around a large, circular table.
All of them wore similar attire, with the general trend being long dark blue robes and eight pointed golden stars stitched on those robes.
There were also stars with varying amounts of points; most had 8, however, there were some with 10, 12, and even 16.
There were only two people with 16 pointed stars, and one of those people was the one who the 10 pointed star had referred to as the 'Island King'.
As one might be able to guess, he was the one who ruled over Starfarer's island, and he was also someone well into the Half-Low Galactic Traverser Realm. In a way, he was the strongest expert in the Northern Expanse.
However, there was one other man who would be able to give the Island King a run for his money. And that person was…
"You ask me what I think, but you also assume that I don't already know about what was said between you and Jing Fu, the Star Rider."
The Island King, with his Thor-like appearance, turned his ancient gaze in the direction of a man who looked no older than 35.
"Ho? You actually care about the ongoings of little ol me? That is surprising coming from you, my dear friend."
Jing Fu locked eyes with the Island King as his orangish irises seemed to be gauging the reactions of the equally powerful Island King.
He had come to this meeting after hearing that the main topic of discussion would be an interesting existence causing mayhem in their territory. But he never would've expected the typically stone-faced Island King to make a face like the one he had on right now.
"Jing Fu…" The Island King heaved a tired sigh as he slumped into his starry throne on the front end of the round table. "...Normally, I would never ask anything from a man like you—one only out to benefit from any given situation. But today… I have no other choice."
"???"
Not only Jing Fu, but the rest of the gathered Experts seemed to be completely in the dark on what the Island King was talking about.
Why did he use such a grievous tone??
Why did he make it sound like the end of the world was about to arrive???
Jing Fu's playful expression immediately morphed into a serious one as he knew this was not the time to worry about some small grudges.
"What do you need me to do…? Even though I don't like your stuck-up personality, I know when to repay a favor when it is due. And over the last 100 billion years, you have allowed me to stay here, escaping the sight of my pursuers. For that, I will do you one favor. So, tell me, what is it that you require of me?"
