The Corruption Dragon God: Lust System - Chapter 549 - Astral Body Realm
Chapter 549 – Astral Body Realm
Long Qingyi woke up feeling more refreshed than ever, his face filling
with energy as he looked at his status screen.
After that night of sex, he had returned to almost one and a half quadrillion lust points again.
The cost to improve his cultivation had risen to 350 trillion, an amount that no longer scared him.
He now had more than enough lust points.
Carefully, he left the embrace of the beauties and then the world of the mind.
He had nothing left to do in the land of the fox people, so he just flew towards the horizon, looking for a quiet and secluded place.
After all, there was a chance he would end up receiving a heavenly tribulation with this advancement.
Qingyi didn’t want to take that risk.
“Speaking of the devil…” His eyes looked up.
The sky was blue and clear, but soon it began to close in, thunderous black clouds swallowing everything above him.
“Well… I was getting a little bored anyway!” Qingyi gripped the Heaven-Defying Thunder Sword tightly, clicking to advance to the third stage of the ancient emperor realm.
He closed his eyes and calmed his energy, his powerful spiritual root needing only a moment to establish a foundation powerful enough for a breakthrough.
What many did in thousands of years took him only a blink of an eye. His talent was no longer something of this world.
[Qingyi… do you know what it means to be in the astral body realm?]
Ruxue’s voice echoed in his mind, a moment before he clicked to advance again.
“Hm? What do you mean by that?” Qingyi turned his face in confusion.
[It is more than just a reconstruction of your body, it is the ability to truly exist beyond the heavens, in the void and in absolute
nothingness.] Ruxue spoke, and after that, did not respond further. He would have to discover the rest on his own.
The handsome young man sighed, clicking to improve his cultivation and mana manipulation at the same time.
An intense pain overwhelmed his body, but he barely paid any attention to it, his eyes fixed on the heavens.
“Come on… Don’t tell me you’re going to run away like a coward.” Qingyi laughed contemptuously, his voice taking on a deadly tone as his lips curled.
“I’m getting bored…”
And the heavens responded, a thunderous pulse spreading through the black clouds and converging on a single point, directly above him. [This is a heavenly tribulation of extermination. Be careful.]
Qingyi nodded, gripping his sword a little tighter as he fought against the pain of the breakthrough, his bones, muscles, and skin being rebuilt.
Every drop of Qi moving through his body felt like thousands of tiny glass fibers tearing at his meridians, going against the process of breakthrough, which was trying to keep everything inside his body.
That was the most dangerous part of a tribulation during a breakthrough. Even moving his Qi could be fatal.
“Come!” Qingyi roared and leaped, the ground beneath his feet turning to dust with the thrust, his body breaking the speed of sound in a single second.
He used the sound of the wind tearing at his ears to distract himself from the pain of moving his Qi, blood streaming from his eyes.
Finally, as he swung the Heaven-Defying Thunder Sword, the heavens fell.
A single bolt of lightning, but one of power greater than anything Qingyi had ever faced in his entire life.
The air around him bubbled as the sword and lightning met, his lightning against the lightning of the heavens.
[Don’t fight the tribulation head-on during your breakthrough, you idiot! Retreat and redirect the power!] Ruxue shouted in panic.
Why was Qingyi putting so much Qi and mana out? He needed every drop to advance!
“Don’t underestimate me!” Qingyi coughed up a mouthful of blood, his eyes focused as he put one more thrust forward, calling upon his bloodline projection.
There was resistance for a brief moment, a single blink of an eye, and then everything collapsed with the dragon’s roar on Qingyi’s back, the heavens shaking before his power.
The sharp blade of Qingyi’s sword tore the lightning of the heavenly tribulation in two, his own lightning continuing into the heavens and striking the eye of the storm.
Everything around him crumbled, the primordial laws collapsing briefly before returning, struggling to stabilize the space around him.
“Ah…” He sighed, retracting his Qi and watching as the storm dissipated, the sunlight burning against his pale, blood-covered skin. Something was… different.
He looked at his own hand strangely, lifted his face, and inhaled heavily as he stared at the sun.
It was as if… he could feel it.
Not just the light, not just the heat. It was more than that.
[You have successfully broken through! Third stage of the ancient emperor realm -> first stage of the astral body realm.]
“Ruxue… you said something about surviving even in a vacuum… are you talking about space?” He asked.
[Hm? What do you mean by that-] Before Ruxue could even finish her sentence, Qingyi had already exploded in speed, flying towards the
skies.
[Wait, what are you doing? Ugh… damn…] Ruxue whined, realizing there was nothing she could do to stop him.
And he didn’t stop, his body gaining more and more speed as the air around him became thinner and thinner, the temperature dropping
steadily.
Qingyi looked down, observing the perfect curvature of the immortal
skies.
“Why did it stop moving away?” He questioned, gritting his teeth and increasing his speed more and more.
Five times the speed of sound, ten times, twenty times, thirty times.
He raised his speed to the absolute maximum, but nothing was
enough.
The world below had stopped moving away, and the cosmos was
there. So close, yet so far.
“Did that satisfy your curiosity?” Ruxue appeared beside him. “At least recover a little, you idiot, do you know how worried I was?” Qingyi paused for a moment before wrapping his hands around her
waist.
“Ugh… you’re filthy…” Ruxue said, soaking herself in the blood that
covered Qingyi.
“Now, we’re filthy.” He smiled, kissing her, their bodies entwining
above everything and everyone, one step away from reaching the
stars.
