Chapter 1107: Breakthrough 1

On the planet.

Fresh Blood Holy Lord spat quietly.

"So he survived? Damn, that's too bad for Jeros. You were lucky this time."

Instead of taking action, she simply tugged off her red blouse and turned into a stream of blood, entering the Void.

It was only after a moment did the ruler start crawling out slowly from the wooden cabin. She exhaled heavily, her entire body covered with injuries.

She lied on her back and stared at the enormous, blue Mother Planet in the sky. There was a huge, black splotch on its surface that seemed like a burn mark caused by a star that got too close to it.

"Mother Planet actually exceeded the energy tide's range, that's really terrifying..."

A wisp of black smoke appeared beside the ruler.

"Fresh Blood Holy Lord has already transcended the ordinary Regent Level, hasn't she? She's long become her own concept, Fresh Blood."

The ruler nodded.

"That's right, Master said it once too. To be able to manipulate the concept of all things, that's the true Regent Level. Gersa is already capable of controlling the stars. After all, concept-wise, stars have their own blood too."

"Such powers are beyond the controlling category," Black Smoke mumbled.

"Don't worry," The ruler replied calmly. "She's going to challenge the King soon, and nobody has ever beaten His Majesty... Herself included. After the battle, if she's not injured badly, she's probably going to die. His Majesty has already decided to unify everything."

"Really?" Black Smoke responded.

*******************

Garen kneeled on the scorching sand; his body no longer felt chilly. The Hellfrost Peacock was thoroughly charred by the star's alarmingly high temperature, it was incapable of emitting and trace of chill at the moment.

Hu...

He let out a deep breath.

The Scarlet Snow armor had disappeared already, all the ancestors' souls completely thawed. In order to fight against the star, they focused the powers of all their souls and converted them into pure strength. They charged forward with no hesitation.

This also became the key that gave Garen the strength to push through everything. Garen felt dejected, the Scarlet Snow Sect ancestors did entrust all their hopes on him after all. This was a heavy obligation that he must perform.

Crack...

The ice crystal vines on Garen's back began to crack, shattering onto the ground.

Crack!

One of the shards fell before him.

He reached out and grabbed the shard of glass fuzzily.

Chi!

All of a sudden, a massive, sturdy blue pillar of light burst out from the debris, piercing right through Garen's chest.

The light pillar penetrated into the sky as the sky rumbled non-stop, stirring up the clouds once again in the clear peaceful sky.

Chi, chi, chi!

At the same time, sharp rays of blue light burst out from almost all the shards, forming light pillars that all pierced into Garen's chest from all directions.

From afar, it looked like ten or more blue spears were securing Garen on the sand so that he could not move at all.

Whoosh...

Garen reacted surprisingly quick, immediately activating his potential points and swiftly piling them on his body so he could recover instantly.

However, those blue lights were not doing actual damage to his energy.

Stunned, Garen extended his arm and touched his chest. He felt no pain where the blue light just pierced through, but an indescribable comfort instead.

"This is...?"

He stared at his Attribute Pane, confused.

To his surprise, what was supposed to be his original Attribute Pane was currently going through some earth-shattering changes.

What was initially a dark mist of mystical genes were now completely crystal clear.

The dark mist dissipated, revealing from within was a mysterious white-gold symbol.

The symbol was extremely complex and it seemed like a merge of multiple symbols laying on top of each other.

"What is this?"

The instant the symbol formed completely, all the blue threads from the Hellfrost Peacock within him started swarming toward the symbol, immediately cocooning and devouring it by gulps.

Boom...

Just that moment, a ball of blue flames exploded from his body.

A steady flow of energy that seemed to appear out of nowhere started flowing into Garen's mind where the Soul Seed was at.

A brand new Soul Seed was then slowly condensed deep in Garen's mind, side by side with the other Soul Seed.

His Attribute Pane then slowly updated a new display.

'Soul Seed -- Northern Trident Frost-Fire True Water Evil Technique, Holy Phoenix Demon Book. Hellfrost Peacock Soul Seed .'

The three Soul Seeds interweaved and formed a trace of translucent current that seemed to be interchained, but nevertheless suspended on air itself.

Blue, black-gold, and white. The three Soul Seed s formed a triangular chain altogether and started spinning slowly.

The seemingly never-ending energy seemed to be emitting from those three Soul Seeds. It was as if the three Soul Seeds were deriving a completely new strength out of themselves.

Within seconds, that power filled Garen's body to the brim, and yet it was still eagerly surging into his body.

The immense force washed upon Garen's body wave by wave.

The tremendous force was incomparable, far from what he felt from the oppression of the star earlier on. Garen felt as if he was back to how he was as an ordinary person, with a balloon that was expanding non-stop within him, as if he was going to explode.

The change this time around seemed to have connected the powers of all three of the Soul Seeds' powers, erupting a new unusual derivative energy at the same time. This derivative energy was so pure, and it was able to draw an endless supply of external energy.

The immense force caused Garen's entire body to crack, as fresh, scarlet-red blood started trickling down.

A spaceship far away that was on the way to observe was slowly approaching, rays of light beams shining in his direction.

"There seem to be people there, let's go over and check if they're survivors."

"Spaceship No.2 ruling out all danger."

"No.3 alert."

Signals started interchanging in the air.

"Hank, pass me the focus stick."

"Alright, no problem. Hmm... What is happening, why is it shining all of a sudden?"

"Oh... Oh, no! Oh, my goodness!! Run!"

Without a sound, a ray of pure white light suddenly flared up, covering a radius of approximately a thousand meters. The Mechs that just exited the spaceship to check out the surroundings were not spared as well, vanishing instantly within the white light.

Garen could not hold it in anymore and completely exploded.

His body detonated and became pieces of white-blue flesh, bursting into all directions in the white light.

In just mere seconds, they all spread to a couple of thousand kilometers of space.

Instantly, numerous white light mixed with flesh quickly solidified, forming the actual White Hellfrost Peacock.

The peacock's form lasted for only a mere second before vanishing straight away, once again covered up by the bright white light.

**********************

Garen had another dream, a very long dream.

In the dream, he was a gigantic peacock from the depths of space. The moment he was born, he swallowed a nearby star. Countless chill flowed in the air, freezing every star that it met.

The ice-cold space was the perfect place for it to grow.

Its natural ability to devour Celestial Bodies one by one was to replenish the energy consumption consumed by its body that was constantly expanding.

It would meet the occasional Celestial Bodies that would explode in resistance, but that was nothing different from drinking a soda, they were just bubbles bursting in its mouth, bringing about little to no threat.

Time was meaningless, its colossal gravitational force had distorted time already.

Multiple years passed, even it did not know how many years.

Strange creatures started appearing one by one. They each had a head and four legs. They looked hideous, but they did have strong powers Every one of them was comparable to a star.

These creatures gradually increased. At first, all they did was observe quietly, and after it ate a few of them, the others soon left.

But it was not long before they returned, and this time around they were stronger.

They could let it fall asleep. Those kinds of sleep that were comfortable and relaxing.

Gradually, it realized that it enjoyed sleeping.

Soon enough, its brain slowly started to get foggy, as if it spent too much time sleeping. Too long... It's too long...

Hu!

All of sudden, Garen woke up from the dream.

He opened his eyes to a lush, green forest before him.

Turing was not far away roasting a huge, wild boar. Noticing that Garen has awakened, this loyal Two-Headed Big Wolf immediately rushed toward him.

"Master, you've finally woken up!" Turing's face was haggard and full of scars, some even slightly rotten, revealing his white bones. It was evident that the war was over for a long period of time already.

He carefully helped Garen up.

"Here, drink some water."

Feeling thirsty, Garen gulped down a few mouthfuls of water from a metal bottle. It tasted sweet.

"Alright, I can help myself," Slowly, Garen sat up.

He swiftly activated his potential points. However, he noticed that his points were completely consumed.

On the other hand, numerous conspicuous state symbols appeared on his Status Pane. With just a glance, he could sense a trace of information.

'Hellfrost Peacock growth: Three Army-Level Soul Seeds' Dimensional Dream ability triggered the extreme Hellfrost Peacock ultimate body -- Hellfrost Peacock Queen's evolution, but the evolution requires an unimaginable energy growth... Progress is now 5%.'

Garen suddenly remembered something Black Sethe mentioned once.

'As long as three Soul Seeds are used as fuel backup, it's possible to push the limit of one's secret technique to the next level.'

"As expected, the three Soul Seeds really did cause a big change. Perhaps the mysterious gene symbol did some work as well. My Hellfrost Peacock has reached its peak already, though now it's having a brand new breakthrough. It's really changing into Hellfrost Peacock Queen's form..."

Garen was amazed as he glanced toward his other states, sweeping through most of the useless skills and immediately pausing his gaze when he found the key pane of his Cold Scarlet Snow Technique.

'Eighteenth Grade Cold Scarlet Snow complete: gestures endow the ninth level peak power of frost aura. (Frost strengthened by three levels, sharpness strengthened by three levels, purity strengthened by three levels,)'

There was another symbol at the back that was white. Garen moved his sight and immediately sensed the message.

'Cold Chaos strengthened increment. Full attribute enhanced by 1'
