This Earth Is A Bit Fearsome

Chapter 157 - Breakthrough to Level Nine



Chapter 157 – Breakthrough to Level Nine

Time passed, and under the red moon, blood began to ooze out of the pores of Lu Xuan’s skin.

 His body was transforming.

 Every single cell was continuing to change under the influence of the Taixu Origin Power. His body was literally being torn apart and rebuilt.

 The blood oozing from his skin was all part of the process. While Lu Xuan was in extreme pain, he appeared calm and unfazed, as if the process was not even happening.

 From his perspective, all the pain that he had been through in his past life surpassed what he was currently experiencing by a long shot.

 This level of pain was hardly even able to faze him.

 He knew that the key to his breakthrough to Level Nine Invincible Vajra level lay in the very process he was undergoing. That process could save him months, which was how long it would take for most people to gradually work through the whole process.

 The night passed uneventfully, and when Lu Xuan opened his eyes again, the blood soaking his entire body had dried up, leaving him caked in dried blood.

 Lu Xuan took control of his Spiritual Qi and cleaned up the dirty bloodstains all over him right away.

 That was a minor trick. Many cultivators would stay isolated for months, even years, and that was how they kept themselves clean throughout that time.

 Lu Xuan stretched for a bit, causing cracking sounds from all over his body, as though his bones were cracking and popping like popcorn.

 “Invincible Vajra. It’s finally time,” Lu Xuan muttered to himself.

 If he were to count what he’d experienced in his past life, too, that would actually make the second time Lu Xuan had made it to Invincible Vajra level.

 He could be said to be very familiar with the whole thing by then. Coupled with the preparations he had been laying down for the past few months, he was absolutely cruising through the process.

 However, when he extended his senses to that nearly exploding power harbored within his body, he felt as if he had gotten several times stronger right there and then, even compared when he had been at the same level back in his past life.

 The gap was so huge that he could have defeated several iterations of himself from such a stage in his past life, even though he had been the best among those of similar levels.

 Yet he had gotten even more powerful in his current life.

 If he continued growing like this, he would probably grow to become something never before seen. If he were able to reach the very pinnacle again in his current life, he would become the most powerful among the Celestial Lords.

 Lu Xuan dispelled the maze, and there was nothing left around him other than a whole bunch of dead monsters.

 He could sense that quite a number of monsters had attempted to approach him during the night, but none of them had been able to get through the maze that Lu Xuan had set up.

 They had no choice but to leave in a dejected manner. Those monsters simply acted on instinct, after all, and there was nowhere they could have broken through the barrier that Lu Xuan set up.

 Lu Xuan only then came to pay attention to what had actually happened the previous night.

 He logged into the dark web and saw the news, finding that the world of cultivators had been thrown into chaos.

 The phenomenon was so prevalent that all of the internet was raving about what happened.

 “The Bloody Moon is here. Huge monster sighted on Mount Tai!”

 “The Possibility of the Coming of the Era of Gods!”

 “This Is No Special Effect. No Need to Hide It All Anymore!”

 Shocking videos could be seen under all those shocking titles.

 Lu Xuan clicked on the videos and watched them, only to find that giant monsters were popping up everywhere.

 In one of the videos, a huge white ape that looked to be five to six meters tall from afar was climbing a cliff. It wobbled about as it climbed Mount Tai.

 Every single leap it took sent it more than a dozen meters away, and it disappeared into the woods of Mount Tai before long.

 The comments below the video were all frenzied, as there had never been such a huge ape sighted before.

 Don’t tell me that white ape is Sun Wukong, man!

 The guy up there is an uncultured swine! Sun Wukong is a monkey, not an ape! Speaking of Sun Wukong, it reminds me of Sixology!

 Sixology guy up there, prepare to eat the stick of the monkey god!

 Other than the exceptionally huge white ape, there were also people on the net who had seen a tall, huge tiger, over 10 meters in length, running in the woods.

 In addition to the huge tiger, there was also an enormous python, tens of meters long, slithering along the mountain paths.

 It was as if all manner of giant monsters that humans knew nothing about had emerged from all over the place in a single night.

 Sh*t, why do I feel like I don’t know this world anymore??

 Is this even the world I know? Why do I feel like this is just like that movie called “Rampage” that was out just a while ago?

 Damn, the world sure is getting a lot more dangerous now!

 It seemed as if the official censors had failed to work altogether that night. All manner of news mushroomed all over the place, seemingly out of nowhere.

 What had happened during that particular night seemed to have rendered everything people knew about the world entirely obsolete. It was an experience that made them realize that there was actually another world they did not know lurking under the world they knew to be their everyday life.

 Many cultivators on the dark web were baffled by all that was happening, as not even they had anticipated that there were actually that many other species cultivating besides humans.

 While those netizens were all cultivators, without a doubt, they thought that only humans were the ones cultivating, and the other species were simply experiencing some mutations among them as the world changed.

 They had absolutely never anticipated that so many monsters were hidden in the shadows.

 This was especially remarkable given how the monsters all sported coats that seemed to glitter. This was a giveaway that they had made significant progress in their cultivation efforts, putting them on par with Deity-level humans.

 They never anticipated so many trained monsters to be that great.

 Lu Xuan, on the other hand, snubbed all of that. He thought that humans, as a whole, were simply too full of themselves in the current stage. To think that only humans were capable of cultivation and only humans were capable of becoming the dominant species!

 In truth, however, while humans might look to be of vast numbers, with a population ranging between seven to eight billion worldwide, there were many other living beings that easily eclipsed that number in their total population. While those capable of making decent progress in cultivation were surely less than one percent, even less than one one-thousandth or one ten-thousandth, of the human population, their numbers were nonetheless staggeringly high.

 It was just that no one had never given any thought to the possibility that humans were not the only ones considerably affected by the spirit qi permeating the planet.

 In fact, many unassuming animals were affected by the spirit qi around them, and the changes they were experiencing were significant.

 What even proved more stunning was that those common animals, which humans thought they had subjugated and dominated, could potentially rise one day to fight humans for dominance of the planet.

 According to what Lu Xuan remembered about that particular Spiritual Tide, this was truly the turning point that brought about the era where everyone became cultivators.

 It was the moment that the governments of the world finally realized that they were no longer competing only among each other, as there were also animals that they had failed to take account of. The few cultivators who survived in the dark as the governments kept the masses oblivious through information manipulation could keep them from competing in the new order altogether.

 Lu Xuan saw more shocking news as he turned back to the dark web.

 That huge white ape had gone into Mount Tai, along with the other monsters, in the dark of night, eaten the fruits of some mystical tree in there, and achieved a stunning transformation. It had been able to make it past Level Nine Invincible Vajra level, a remarkable feat witnessed by many.
