Chapter 426: Fie and Liriu Breakthroughs

That day, Krune cooked for everyone. That was a very happy event, after all. Cinty also explained her own view and what she thought about the breakthrough. It wasn't before several hours that everyone returned to their own places.

Two days later, Cinty sneaked out of the Wisp Main World trough Phillin's teleport formation. When Krune and Feifei found out, they couldn't help but laugh.

"She definitely went to see that guy called Kiirion."

Krune nodded.

"Let's hope everything goes well for here."

A few days later, Krune and Feifei also left with Fie, Tiane, Ruik, and Liriu. Laex also followed them just in case. They had already agreed that they would visit different places to help both kids see more of the Universe. With different names and appearances, as long as they use Phillin's teleport formation, they shouldn't be at any risk.

Time passed, and another 3 years went by.

With no risk of being found by other Heavenly Fragment Owners, everyone was able to cultivate and train as they wished.

Some left to take missions, others secluded themselves, those with side occupations practiced their jobs as well. All in all, it was as Krune predicted, they had quite a leisure time.

Today, Fie was finally creating her Foundation. Although she is slower than Krune, she is definitely faster than Feifei. Feifei only started to cultivate at the age of seven, as for Foundation Establishment, she was already nine by the time she attempted it. In Fie's case, she is eight years old at the moment.

In the end, all the travel around proved to be very beneficial for her. It was during those travels that Fie decided on creating a Foundation based on a Universe. Just like Krune and Feifei. The difference was that she chose to start with a Sun first. Unlike Krune, Fie's Soul isn't inside her Core, so there was no problem about where to keep it.

Krune and Feifei, as Universe Foundation Owners, were more than happy to hear that. Since she decided on a Universe Foundation, Feifei and Krune helped her comprehend everything necessary to mold something similar. To make sure everything would go okay, Krune had her study about it for two years.

It turned out that it was worth the wait. Fie had no problem in creating a Universe Foundation, with the Sun being the first thing inside. Right after, she had to fend off the Heavenly Tribulation. But the Heavenly Tribulation of Dalin was also one of the reasons why Fie started with a Sun. As mentioned before, Dalin's Tribulation is fire-based. So she used her own Elemental Meridians to guide the power of the Fire Tribulation to her Sun.

Of course, compared to Krune's Heavenly Tribulation, Fie's one wasn't anything worth paying attention to. Especially since Fie had the capability of creating Elemental Source Energy. So her own protection was several times better than Krune's during the time he entered the Foundation Establishment.

Fie's Sun, which wasn't that big at first, increased in size three times when her Heavenly Tribulation finished. Although it couldn't be compared to Krune's actual Sun, it was at least able to generate enough Gravity for a planet to orbit. Of course, Fie doesn't have a world yet, but it didn't matter. The closer it is to a real Universe, the better it is. So the Gravity of the Sun was also important.

Fie's future Core turned out to be a common one, though. Still, that was to be expected. It is not like you can have a Major Core anytime you wanted it. They were not called the Ten Major Cores for nothing. Of course, be it Krune and Feifei, they couldn't care less whether Fie had a Major Core or not. Fie's importance for them wouldn't change even if she failed.

As for Liriu, he followed another path altogether. When everyone heard what he wanted to do, they were taken aback. It turned out that he had seen Laex Dragon form a few times during these past years. Simply put, he found Laex to be very cool! So he decided to make a Foundation that looked like a Dragon!

Laex, of course, laughed out loud when he heard that.

"Do you like this grandfather this much? No problem, no problem! You can use my majestic Dragon Form as the base of your Foundation as much as you want! First of all, you are a half reptile, and Dragons, as mighty as they might be, are still reptiles as well. Using a Dragon Form as a foundation should be quite beneficial for you."

A Foundation is a personal thing. Since Liriu was dead set on making a Dragon Foundation, Ruik and Tiane simply supported him. Laex then passed a few weeks with Liriu explaining to him everything about a Dragon like him. He even kept in his Dragon Form most of the time so that Liriu could take a good look.

The day that Liriu decided on creating his Foundation, Laex even gave him a present. He took some of his own Divine Beast Dragon Blood and passed it to him.

"Drink it. As a pure-blooded Dragon, my blood has the power to enhance and transform other races' blood related to our own. As I said, you are half a reptile, so my blood should give you some concentration of Dragon Blood. All the other Dragonkin Races are like that precisely because their ancestors drunk Dragon Blood in the past."

Liriu immediately thanked him with a Divine Sense message.

"Big Brother Laex, thank you."

Tiane and Ruik were also happy for him. There is nothing wrong with wanting to become strong as a Dragon. In a certain way, this could be said to be the dream of most reptile races. To one day, evolve into a Dragon.

Liriu immediately drunk the blood, and Laex used his Spiritual Energy to help him fuse with his blood. The process was quite painful. After all, the very structure of Liriu's blood was changing at that point. Still, Liriu persevered and didn't waste a single drop of Laex's blood.

"Hahaha! Great, you didn't let this grandfather down."

With Laex himself helping him, Liriu's Foundation Establishment passed without any issues. But as soon as Liriu finished his breakthrough, something unexpected happened. A Heavenly Tribulation also came for him!

Tiane, Ruik, and everyone else were taken aback, including Laex.

"Were there supposed to have a Heavenly Tribulation with a Dragon Foundation?"

Laex immediately shook his head.

"Lots of reptile races try to create Dragon Foundations, some succeed, others not. Still, I've never heard about a Heavenly Tribulation after a Dragon Foundation is formed."

Suddenly, Liriu sent a Divine Sense message.

"Mom, dad, big brother. My body feels weird."

They were taken aback and immediately used their Divine Sense to check Liriu's body. Let alone Tiane and Ruik, even Laex was shocked by what he was seeing.

Liriu's Elemental Meridians had connected his Dragon Foundation to the Dragon blood in his body. Somehow, the Dragon blood was transforming Liriu's Dragon foundation entirely. In exchange, the concentration of Dragon blood was increasing at a very fast pace.

"No, it is not increasing, it is changing his blood completely. That... There is some other kind of blood in his body before. Thanks to the Dragon blood I gave him, it seems like to be awakening."

Laex then looked at Tiane, the mother. Suddenly an idea appeared in his mind.

'It can't be, can it?'

Tiane and Ruik felt extremely nervous. They wanted to help, but no external help is allowed during a Heavenly Tribulation. If they did so, not only wouldn't it help, the power of the Tribulation would increase even more.

Suddenly, Liriu roared.

Roarr!

The sound of that Roar made Laex, a pure-blooded Dragon, feel chills on his back. It wasn't powerful, nor was it that loud. But something in that roar made his Dragon Blood tremble!

The Heavenly Tribulation came down and enveloped Liriu in Tribulation Fire. However, there was no sign of the Fire hurting him. If anything, it seemed more like his body and Foundation were absorbing the power of the Heavenly Tribulation utterly.

With his Divine Sense, Laex could see the chance on Liriu's blood. The Dragon Blood concentration was disappearing. Not only that, but even Liriu's normal blood was changing too. In their place, a new type of blood was being formed and replaced the old ones. That blood then started a qualitative change in both Liriu's body and Foundation. It was evident that the Elemental Meridians, which were making the connection between both, seemed to be the reason behind it.

Liriu's feathers and scales began to grow together with his body. The Dragon Foundation that he had created using Laex's Dragon Form changed along with it, taking a form identical to Liriu's new body. The most impressive thing is that the power used for that transformation was none other than the Tribulation Fire!

The Heavenly Tribulation dured one hour before disappearing. Finally, everyone could see Liriu's new form. He had increased in size by more than two times. Fortunately, Liriu was quite small to start with. So now, he was only at the size of an average human. Ruik's snake body, for example, was a lot bigger than that at the moment. A Demon Beast increase in size after a cultivation breakthrough was nothing rare to either.

Tiane and Ruik immediately rushed over and held him. It was evident that Liriu was feeling very tired and could barely move at the moment. Fortunately, their Divine Sense told them that he wasn't in any risky situation.

But surprisingly, his color changed. His body scales and feathers turned fiery red. One could even see some flames come from them now and then. After seeing this scene, Laex's blood ran cold. It was as if he had seen a ghost.

"Impossible!"
