Chapter 1214  Job well done

Through the system, Lex could exert control over the region that constituted the Midnight Inn, so with a single swipe of his hand, he moved the storm out. But while the Inn was safe from the developing storm, the rest of the realm was not.

Dark clouds suddenly formed above not only the three continents, but the cosmic sea as well. Thunder rumbled in the clouds, but it sounded completely different than usual. It sounded like crashing water and squeaking wood, while at the same time sounding like wailing winds and distant laughter.

The unusual nature of the sounds made them seem ominous, though through his connection to the realm Lex could sense that there was no danger brewing. In fact, despite how dark the clouds were, from within them he could feel a great, vibrant energy building up.

The entire realm was suddenly blinded by an exceptionally bright flash of light, after which the clouds burst, unleashing a heavy torrent of multicolored rain.

Lex suddenly realized that preventing the clouds from forming over the Inn might have been a mistake, and quickly allowed them to come back.

All the guests looked up as a miraculous rain fell on them, and each of them… suddenly became stronger!

The ground grew more solid, the trees grew taller, the beasts grew stronger, and everyone's cultivation rose! Lex suddenly felt the boundary of the entire realm loosen, and the highest sustainable rank suddenly became the Earth Immortal realm!

Every single being which had been trapped at the peak of the Nascent realm across the entire Midnight realm felt something new. They felt the sky above them grow larger, as if it could accommodate more, and each of them felt like they could initiate a change to a higher realm. Yet at the same time, they felt a warning from their instincts, as if to let them know that such a change would not be so easily attained.

Lex could feel as the boundary of the Midnight realm grew wider, and felt the continents grow slightly larger. He felt new biomes begin to form, and the spirit energy begin to boil as it grew more complex.

The greatest change was experienced by the Cosmic Sea, which instead of growing, began to drain. As the realm grew larger, it used up the Cosmic Sea as if it was fuel, and somewhere far off in the distance, Lex felt that a fourth continent was beginning to form. He could only vaguely sense that this continent was a perfect circle, almost as if a miniature version of the realm from which these new laws originated.

Suddenly Lex's expression changed and he left the Inn, going instead to Yildirim Utopia. It was not that something bad happened. It was just that he was at the absolute limit of the Nascent realm, and the raindrops were forcibly undoing his seals so that his realm would increase.

It seemed that he wasn't destined to gain these benefits. Then again, his body had already been pushed to its max by a Dao level ingredient, so he was not greedy for these small benefits.

With a sigh, he passed a single order to Mary. All Inn workers who were outside should return to the Inn immediately. While their missions were important, becoming stronger was also important. Many of them who had been unable to reach the Earth immortal realm could not pursue the realm. Moreover, they could even make use of the tribulation rooms within the Inn.

Then he turned his attention to Moon, who was laying in her hammock, watching the preliminary tournament still. Her mood had been a little down since the assassination attempt, though could anyone blame her?

Lex teleported over, appearing right in her line of sight. Moon smiled seeing him come, though she was not able to muster up any excitement. Since the fight, the planet had suffered, which in turn drained her of her energy.

"Alright, let's put an end to this farce," Lex said as he clapped his hands, attracting Z's attention, who had not noticed his arrival. "We've tried doing things the proper way. Now we're going to do things my way."

Z extended his spirit sense to Moon.

"I told you he holds back until it's time to show off. I don't know what's about to happen, but you can bet he's going to magically solve everything, as if he couldn't have done that to begin with."

It was not that Z thought ill of Lex. It was just that he had identified him for who he truly was: a capitalist, and a capitalist only acted at the right moment.

"This is going to be a little gross, but just ignore it okay," said Lex as he placed his finger on Moon's forehead and began using one of the many healing techniques he had devised the past few years.

All of the techniques just basically relied on the healing properties of his blood, and the one he was using now was the most efficient and effective one, which is also why it would be obvious that Lex's own blood would be used.

Blood drops started to emerge out of Lex's skin and then snaked across his skin and into Moon's forehead.

Moon's healing capability was beyond anything Lex had seen, and even he could only rival her due to various techniques that were unique in the whole universe. Now that her body, and her soul, were being nourished by his blood, it was like whatever her physique did gained steroids.

"Wow," she suddenly exclaimed as energy suddenly flooded into her body, and then through her into her connection with the planet.

Yes, Lex was not just healing her, he was also healing her connection to the planet. Technically it didn't work like that, but it was a fact that his blood could play some role in expediting her assimilation of the planet, so he was going to do just that.

One of the reasons Lex had avoided this from the beginning was because he didn't know how much of his blood it would take to actually do this. He didn't know if blood loss would affect him negatively, and the midst of a fight for his family, against his family, was not the best time for it.

But now Lex wasn't afraid. If he weakened up a bit, he could hop back in the Inn and let the rainwater nourish him back to his peak.

Brute force was not the smartest way to do things, but sometimes it was the best option. He was patting himself on the back for a well thought out plan when his physique activated on its own.

Empyrean Resonance, which could enhance every single humanoid being that it affected, began resonating with Moon, who was absorbing Lex's blood.
