Cheat Cultivator's Ascension-Chapter 496: Soul Formation Realm (3)

’That’s... pretty violent...’ as he opens his eyes once again and sees the vast skies already turning clear blue and free of darkness, a stark contrast to the one he last saw before he entered the Infinite Qi Dimension, Su Xiaotian remarked, recalling what happened to him the moment he managed to achieve his target.

All according to his previous expectations, his body, through all his arduous cultivation finally managed to reach a state where he can still handle the pressure coming from the twenty second layer of the Infinite Qi Dimension, even going as far as being capable of exerting most, if not all of his strength, the only drawback being the fact that it consumes much more qi and energy than usual.

Hence, also the reason why he aims to reach the twenty-third layer, moving fast using his newfound power to push through the raging waves of the twenty-second layer, his speed allowing him to take just a short amount of time to reach the boundary between the twenty-second and twenty-third layer.

His senses already warned him, the density of the ambient spirit qi beyond this layer being a level that is completely different than before, and yet despite that, he still decided to brave the challenge, pushing forward with a confident step as he thought that even if he’s going to struggle in the twenty-layer, it shouldn’t really possess the amount of pressure and danger that will kill him.

A fatal mistake on his part as the moment that he took that first step to enter this new domain, waves of ambient spirit qi starts raging from all directions before it start rushing towards him, seemingly not giving him any chance to retaliate at all as wave after wave crashes onto his being, first debilitating him and forcing him to kneel on the ground, the second smashing his still kneeling figure completely down, and the third one crushing him completely, turning him into a puddle of blood.

Now brought outside once again, Su Xiaotian can still recall the great pain that such surprise brought him, however, despite the obvious jump in difficulty, he merely smiles as he in fact, start looking forward to the twenty third layer even more, the fact alone that this layer seems to be capable of so much more than being an infinite source of cultivation resources something that strongly piqued his interest.

Expanding his senses to feel how his cultivation will fare in the outside world compared to the Infinite Qi Dimension, the immortal-like young man’s figure remains floating in the air, his eyes closed at first, as he inspects his soul power, seemingly capable of so much more now.

If it were nothing but a mere powerful weapon, along with being a complementary augmentation to him previously, the fusion of his nascent sources to the souls that formed from entering this new cultivation realm now allows him to infuse soul power to his senses, improving them way better than ever before.

Through the augmentation of soul power alone, Su Xiaotian couldn’t help but feel shocked as he looked in front of him from a completely different perspective, his eyes, glowing pure white with a tinge of gold seeing in a way that is anything but normal, the surroundings vivid, and from each objects coming out specks of light that seems to move in a peculiar form, like a dance so profound and obscure that even if it truly has meaning, not a single person, no matter how talented they are, is capable of seeing through it. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

’It’s... spirit qi...’ as he watches the multicolored specks of light float around and interact with each other in such a chaotic, yet equally orderly way, the immortal-like young man deduces what these specks of light are, the fact that they subtly move towards himself as he starts cultivating a clear proof of that matter.

Smiling as he thought of so much potential that this new ability has to offer, he then starts infusing his soul power through each of his senses, his reach expanding all the way to the ladies, still watching him from the distance, sensing each and every single details on all of them, before expanding all the way throughout the entire island and some more, covering a massive area wherein not a single thing, even the smallest of motion, happens without his knowledge.

Once he finally thought that it was the last of the surprises brought about by his breakthrough to the Soul Formation Realm, he felt something quite odd, extending just a couple of meters in front of him, piquing his interest once more, as never had he encountered something like this before.

Focusing just a bit more to figure out what this odd feeling is, he retracted his expanding sense and reinforced it in a five-meter radius area to bolster the level of detection and sensing, and from this, he found out something that even the Universal Shop System had never noticed until now.

Waiting for something that might notify him of whatever this is from the main system now that he had noticed it, the immortal-like young man is feeling quite worried given that the Universal Shop System has yet to give him an information of what could possibly be happening right now, his worry dissipating a bit as he felt connected in an intimate manner with the odd feeling, before it finally clicked to him.

Motioning his hand forward, he felt a movement within the oddity that he was feeling, the exact same motion as his hand, cementing a certain conclusion in his mind even further.

And as he continues with this simple tests and observation, Su Xiaotian finally concluded that whatever this near imperceptible thing is, it is the exact replica of his body, only scaled up reaching about five meters in height, and yet other than that, he couldn’t find any use to it other than the fact that it can be an extremely stealthy method of attack or even defense.

It wasn’t until a little bit later, when he attempted to circulate the Primordial Nihility Transcendent Qi within his body while still manipulating this invisible extension of himself, that he started to connect the pieces and form yet another conclusion, one concerning the origin of this mysterious extension of himself.

As if responding to the circulation of the Primordial Nihility Transcendent Qi within his body, this invisible extension of the immortal-like young man starts exuding a grand air of vast pressure as well, seemingly preparing for combat, the pressure coming out of it expanding at a tremendous speed covering the entire Roaring Heaven City in no time at all, before it dispersed altogether all of a sudden as the young man managed to take control of it.

"This might be the greatest surprise of all during this breakthrough..." out of shock, Su Xiaotian couldn’t stop himself from voicing the thoughts in his mind, still in disbelief as he feels Primordial Nihility Transcendent QI circulating all across his invisible extension, the same way the transcendent qi circulates inside himself, allowing him to confirm the nature of this invisible extension.

As if it had finally finished figuring out what was happening to the immortal-like young man, the floating golden screen appears in front of him all of a sudden, showing a series of texts that he had never seen before.
