Chapter 387
Back in Losha’s training ground, Lucy, who was currently meditating and pushing the Nine Star Yin Technique to its limits, suddenly opened his eyes .
The sixth lotus was still illusory, however, the moment she opened her eyes, the lotus materialized and became fully material, circling above Lucy along with the other five . Moreover, half of the seventh lotus abruptly appeared, startling both the master and the disciple .
Lucy glanced at her hands then mumbled:
"Arthur broke through..."
The sudden increase in strength was due to the rise of Arthur’s stats, which greatly affected hers . Upon checking her Status Window, she was shocked to see her initial stats almost tripled .
Losha, who has been carefully watching Lucy, felt the burst of energy released from the latter’s body . Just like Arthur, the sudden increase in stats caused Lucy to breakthrough to a Fusion Sovereign despite her efforts in stopping her speedy advancement .
"With six lotuses and your Physique, I don’t think there’s any God Monarch that can threaten you but be careful of people with Physique, even if they have a cultivation lower than yours . There are Physiques or techniques that can counter you quite easily, like Soul attacks, for example . "
Losha was aware that Lucy lacked some sort of treasure that can protect her soul . Arthur had Curtis, who can defend against anything that invades his consciousness, however, Lucy was vulnerable to such lethal attacks .
Unfortunately, Losha didn’t have any treasure that can protect her disciple’s soul but she still informed Lucy about the location of a powerful artifact that can significantly increase the power of her soul .
*********
Arthur initiated his breakthrough only after a day passed since his fight with the snake . It was enough for him to stabilize his foundation . Inside that room, which became cozy and decorated, Arthur took out the large body of the snake and retrieved the crystal in its head .
It was the size of a human head and pretty heavy . It had an astronomical amount of Fire and Earth Energy, enough to make him break through to the Sovereign Realm .
Once he becomes a Sovereign, he can possess the two leaders Divine Beasts and the two ancestor bodies he stole from the Mirage Era Hall Sect . There’s also the snake’s body and a few others which were stashed in his storage .
The boost in stats he’ll receive will be quite significant so Claud advised him to take things slowly and try to get used to his new power instead of heading toward the Imperial Capital .
Lisa should be safe for now as Vyncent is guarding her, however, knowing his dogshit luck, anything can happen .
...
Arthur put the large crystal in front of him as he sat cross-legged . He stretched both of his hands and activated the Dark Anguish Technique .
From both of his palms, which were a few inches above the red crystal, two black whirlpools appeared . They spun ever-so-slowly yet they caused the calm air in this underground room to become turbulent . The Nether Energy became chaotic as it was forcefully pulled into the two whirlpools .
The crystal was being sucked dry by the two whirlpools as their absorption power only intensified the more time passed . Arthur could feel his Dantian emit a strange dark light that stretched to all parts of Meridians .
Like the sound of shattering glass, the barrier broke and his cultivation rose after ten or so minutes . The crystal also broke into countless little pieces which quickly turned into ash .
Instead of possessing the lifeless corpses, Arthur first entered his consciousness and searched for a blood-red cocoon that emitted a dangerous decaying energy .
Using the strong healing power of the Life Energy, he started emanating a blinding white light which illuminated the dark and starry sky, which is his consciousness .
Despite his extremely sky-high stats, Arthur spent five continuous days doing the same thing, he didn’t even stop for a second .
Only when the cocoon cracked, revealing what’s inside, did Arthur stop and broke into a soft smile .
"Welcome back . "
A youth with a short red hair who wearing red clothes stepped out of the cocoon and politely bowed whilst saying
"I thank thee for thy help, master . "
Just as Swain appeared, a streak of light flew from afar and materialized itself as a white-haired youth . The new arrival was equally handsome but the moment he started speaking, you could only hear vulgar words
"Fuck! Your little ass finally recovered . Took you long enough, dipshit!"
This was none other than the humanoid form of Midolf .
Swain glanced at Midolf for a second before clicking his tongue in annoyance, obviously displeased by the presence of this creature of life .
"It seems master managed to reunite with Miss Lucy . My sincere congratulations . "
Swain bowed again then waved his hand, to which an illusory large figure appeared next to him . Upon a closer look, you would see a bone lizard with a long tail that burned with black flames . This was Randuin, the final piece which will allow Swain to attain his final form, Radolf .
Midolf didn’t seem angry after seeing Swain’s reaction . He loudly laughed then proudly stated
"Now we two motherfuckers are back together, we’re gonna do a lot of ass-kicking, am I right or am I right? Hahahahahahaha"
Unlike the respectful and non-talkative Swain, Midolf was pretty vulgar and nonchalant even when facing his master, Arthur .
"You came back at the perfect time . Pretty soon, I’m going to need your help, both of you . "
...
Once Arthur was done healing Swain, he left his consciousness and returned to the room, which was expanded so it could fit the white tiger’s body .
The body of the Divine Beast was severely injured and didn’t emit the threatening pressure from before, however, it still looked frightening .
After readying himself, Arthur transformed into a black whirlpool which quickly entered the tiger’s corpse . Notifications from the System appeared in front of Arthur, informing him of the new changes and additions .

The motionless body of the White Tiger, which was in a rough state, healed almost instantaneously . The Divine Beast woke up from its long slumber, its golden claws grew up, sharper than ever, and its eyes shone with a golden light .
’What a refreshing feeling!’
As he possessed the White Tiger, coupled with his new stats, Arthur could clearly the difference between earlier and now . His sense became much stronger, he even felt several strong presences in the surface .
After a minute or so, Arthur left the body and took out the Vermilion Bird .
