บท 45: Chapter 45 The Breakthrough to a Higher Realm
Every bedroom has a bathroom, so KE didn't need to waste time looking for one.
After he showered and cleaned himself from all the sweat due to intense exercise.
Then he dressed, left through the window, sat in the "Padmasana" position, and began to sense his cultivation world.
He felt strange since he did it with Kanae; he became stronger and started by activating the "True Emperor Refining Technique" to see what was happening inside his body.
"T-this…" When he saw what was happening inside his body, he was surprised. He began to control the flow of energy so efficiently that strengthening his physical and spiritual power became 200% faster.
"This is really a surprise…" KE closed his eyes and began cultivating Etheora.
Etheora was pulled rapidly from a hundred miles away, manifesting like a tsunami but without water, just pure energy.
Raizel opened his eyes and quickly went to the window to see what was happening outside.
"KE, have you reached this level of power?" Raizel stared at the energy tsunami being absorbed by KE's body, which was like an insatiable entity. "It seems our world will soon have a being stronger than me and you."
Raizel was very pleased that KE had become much stronger than before, and at the same time, the entire Hidden Blacksmithing Village was stirred because the entire tsunami was visible to everyone, unless they were truly blind.
A man with a strange mask came running out of his house, as did many people, whether they were young, women, elders, or children.
Even the old man, Yoko, and the Hinatsuru sisters, only Kanae was still tired from the exercise, but she began to wake up.
"Clan patriarch, what in Heaven's name is happening?" A middle-aged man with a red mask came next to the old man and asked, his voice filled with terror.
Even the old man began to sweat, as he didn't know it was KE causing this but felt it was enemies who wanted to take the clan's legacy and kill everyone.
"I…I don't know," the old man lowered his head and then looked at the man. "Moe, go and announce that the village is now in a situation that might lead to its eradication. Let the women and children, then the elders, escape through the secret passages. It's crucial they take all the legacy with them."
Moe heard the clan patriarch's words, bowed to him, and ran off.
But before he could leave, a voice came from the sky, "No need, the cause of this incident was not enemies." Raizel came flying with blood wings.
He looked like an avenging angel, capturing the hearts of the girls who hadn't seen KE's beauty.
But at the same time, they were shocked, thinking he was a demon or something, as humans don't have these abilities.
Even the Hinatsuru sisters and Yoko, who knew about their power, were shocked as they hadn't seen them use it.
"Raizel-sama, are you saying this tsunami wasn't caused by enemies? Then who is it?" As soon as he saw it was Raizel, the old man Tetsuya felt the pressure and fear vanish, but at the same time, he was deeply curious about who could cause such a phenomenon.
"Cough, Uncle Tetsuya, it's KE," Kanae limped slightly but wasn't bothered. As soon as she woke up and saw this phenomenon, she hurried over. "He's reached a point of breaking through to a higher realm, and these phenomena are due to his power increasing."
"Kanae, what do you mean?" Tetsuya didn't understand because KE never explained to him what Etheora was or what the cultivation worlds were, so Kanae began to explain to them.
"So, His Majesty has become very powerful," Tetsuya finally understood the mystery of KE's power and became more respectful and loyal. "So this phenomenon is because His Majesty broke through to a higher realm. Which of the realms do you think he's reached?"
"I don't know…" Kanae shook her head because she really didn't know. The worlds KE mentioned were too many and technically infinite. "Let's wait first. When he finishes, we should retreat because you can't withstand the pressure of the power."
Tetsuya nodded and ordered the middle-aged man, "Ken, let's retreat quickly."
Everyone retreated, only Raizel stayed.
He stayed only to protect KE in case any enemy tried to surprise him.
About three hours later, everyone in the village understood after the old man Tetsuya explained, while KE, sitting in the "Padmasana" position, slowly opened his eyes.
"Sigh, I didn't think it would take so long," KE stretched his muscles and cleansed himself from all impurities through Etheora. "I really didn't realize it, but my body is now completely free from impurities."
"The most important thing is that my cultivation level has risen to the realm of {Fading Time Rank Perishing Minutes World}. Now I need to calm my body," KE stood up and took the [Art of the God of combat] position.
He began moving his body according to the exercises he set up.
Every step started to strengthen his body. He had never trained with these exercises before, as he had been for a long time at the first level of [Art of the God of combat] [Nourishing and Strengthening the Skin].
Now that he had broken through to a higher realm, he wanted to calm his body and lay a stronger foundation.
These exercises continued for about an hour. KE noticed that Raizel had been there for a long time, staring at him.
But he couldn't talk right now as his body was undergoing a heaven-shaking transformation.
His body continually strengthened as [Art of the God of combat] evolved from [Nourishing and Strengthening the Skin] to [Nourishing and Strengthening the Organs].
His skin and organs began to develop and become stronger, and then his bones began to develop, indicating he had reached the level of [Nourishing and Strengthening the Bones].
"Sigh…" Here, KE stopped moving and stood, his body emitting smoke and his skin red.
He was like coming out of hot springs, but this was due to his exercises around [Art of the [Art of the God of combat], having become much stronger than before.
A few minutes later, KE's appearance returned to normal. "Yo, Raizel, I'm back. Did anything happen that harmed the Hidden Blacksmithing Village?"
"Nothing happened…" Raizel was stunned by KE's transformation. This time KE had indeed reached the level of the noble families' leaders.
If Raizel's power is considered the ceiling of this world, then his world level would be {Fading Time Rank Forgotten Ages World}.
This power is simply three small realms higher than KE's.
But for KE, the world level isn't that important. He has many ways to fight and kill those at higher levels than himself, let alone just small realms.
However, it could affect him or even harm him, and at the same time, it's a double-edged sword. It's his strength, but it's not permanent. He doesn't want to put his life in such a situation.
"Interesting…" Raizel stared at KE and began explaining what had happened while he was cultivating Etheora. "Most importantly, the village is safe. Tetsuya ordered everyone to retreat to the edge of the village in an open area so they wouldn't be affected by the storm. He's really a leader."
(Pfff, a leader)
"Cough, then let's go so they won't worry," KE and Raizel moved quickly in search of them.
After a short while, KE and Raizel arrived at their location.
As soon as KE and Raizel arrived, the old man Tetsuya came to them quickly, followed by all the people from the village.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you've finally come," Tetsuya stopped midway because he was tired and continued.
"KE, how are you now? Did you succeed?" Kanae came directly to KE and hugged him, acting like a little wife worried about her husband. "Could you have been hurt because of the breakthrough? Tell me."
"Hehehe, Kanae, I wasn't hurt. On the contrary, I'm better than before, and also…" KE whispered something that made her blush, but she nodded in agreement. "Really, then tonight. Let's go now, I'm hungry."
"Jiji, I'm sorry for disturbing you and your clan members," KE apologized to them, which made everyone refuse his apology.
"No, no, Your Majesty, you're mistaken. It's a complete honor for us that you broke through in our land," Tetsuya spoke quickly, telling the truth. Even the members of his clan (Hidden Blacksmithing Village) nodded.
There were a few who were a little angry, but after knowing who KE was and about his power and saving Nippon and driving out all the demons.
Not just their village, even if he destroyed all the Hidden Blacksmithing Villages, they would smile.
Moreover, KE's apology and his charisma continuously increased their loyalty.
He is the future ruler of their country who broke through to a higher realm in their village and at the same time apologized to them for the disturbance.
There are many rulers who became dictators and indifferent to the people, so saying their country is blessed to have such a ruler is a great joy.
"Jiji, I'm really hungry now. This is one of the negative effects of the breakthrough," after KE explained to Tetsuya, he understood that these negative effects were due to the body needing a huge amount of energy due to the physical power evolution.
With this energy, the muscles and cells are filled with energy to stabilize the breakthrough.
If KE didn't eat something, his body might consume his life energy to fill up.
Thus, KE would become weak, and even his life expectancy might significantly decrease.
