Chapter 294: Breakthrough (2)
When a Heavenly Transformation cultivator entirely morphs their Heavenly Spirit Sense, they still have one more critical task to do.
That is to transform their entire body into a Heavenly Body and their Dantian into a Heavenly Dantian, forming their Heavenly Core.
A Heavenly Body would signify any cultivator's proper first step into shedding their mortal coil. Everything regarding one's physical capabilities would dramatically improve in order to contain the massive power of Heavenly Qi and a Heavenly Aura.
Heavenly Qi is what many call the defining line in cultivation. Its power is far beyond anything seen before in previous realms.
With Heavenly Qi, one could shatter mountains peaks and even split apart the clouds!
Furthermore, Heavenly Qi would grant a cultivator access to releasing a Heavenly Aura. This powerful Aura alone could make any peak Innate Core cultivator collapse to the knees, making them pant for dear life.
In previous cultivations realm, one's Aura wouldn't make such a significant impact on their combat prowess. This is because the Qi energy from before simply wasn't strong enough to construct powerful Auras.
But with the massive leap of Heavenly Qi power, an Aura becomes the total accumulation of a cultivator's talent.
Typically, a Heavenly Aura is used to signify how unfathomably deep that Heavenly Transformation expert is. Although at other times, a cultivator can recede their Heavenly Aura and give off a weaker illusion if they so please.
And to make all of this possible, one's bodily foundation has to transform into a Heavenly Body.
Along with the Heavenly Body, within a cultivator's dantian, a Heavenly Core would form, serving as their direct power source. As a result, heavenly Qi that comes from one Heavenly Core would always be much stronger than what's naturally in the air.
To progress through each level, one would need to master their comprehension of Heavenly Qi and, in turn, solidify their Heavenly Cores.
Masami was already highly aware of all these facts.
At this moment, she was recalling everything her grandmother lectured on about breaking through to the Heavenly Transformation realm.
And of course, for other cultivators, even extraordinary geniuses, this moment wouldn't be smooth or quick at all.
But Masami continues the tradition of breaking the common sense mold.
At a rapid-fire pace, she was infusing Heavenly Qi into every inch of her body. To her flesh, organs, muscles, skin, and bones, she didn't leave any stone unturned.
Within her now Heavenly Dantian, a small size Heavenly Core was beginning to form.
Most of the Heavenly Qi Masami's absorb was directly transferred to her Heavenly Core, significantly speeding up this process.
And in no time at all, her Heavenly Core gained 10% solidification.
The appearance of Masami's Heavenly Core was a mix of gray Chaotic Energy and blazing blue flames.
The energy surging from Heavenly Core raged around her Heavenly Dantain like a violent tempest. It was numerous times more intense than any other ordinary first-level Heavenly Transformation cultivator.
At the same time this process happened, another change occurred within Masami's Heavenly Dantian and her Soul's space.
Her once small Insect Magical Core now transformed into a fully massive Dragon phantom image Magical Core!
Aided by the Magical Marks and her breakthrough to the Heavenly Transformation realm, Masami soared through several realms of Magical Energy all in one step!
Because her comprehension is already insanely high, she wasn't halted by any mental block. In this situation, it was only natural she was able to repeatedly advance without a single sweat.
Right then, once Masami finally reached a new boundary of power, Heavenly Qi and Magical Energy once again blasted out of her, throwing the entire room into utter chaos!
"This power!" Darcel and Aniela became even more bewildered.
Besides her Heavenly Qi, the Magical Energy spewing out of her was giving them both considerable pressure. Their minds quickly worked on what this could mean, and they soon arrived at one conclusion.
But for an explicit confirmation, Aniela loudly asked Siren Blade, "She, Sami...did she gain a breakthrough in Magical Energy?"
Siren Blade couldn't even respond to Aniela's question for a few moments.
He was simply dumbfounded. His body stood utterly rigid, sensing the raw power coursing through Masami's body.
Of course, Siren Blade didn't pay that much attention to her Heavenly Transformation breakthrough. It only seemed natural since she was already at the half-step realm.
But for Masami's Magical advancement, Siren Blade made sure to focus on every little note.
Doing this, however, caused his brain to intensely buzz.
The power Masami reached wasn't ordinary at all. To gain this realm in just a single leap was a feat that just broke all logic and rules to the Magical World.
In a slow, dried tone, Siren Blade told Darcel and Aniela, "She didn't just advance. She has already reached a high enough level where she can feasibly contend with me. The Spirit Mage realm!"
"Really?!"
Even though Darcel and Aniela couldn't possibly know what this signifies, their excitement still soared through the roof.
They felt immensely happy for Masami. With this kind of shortcut, her combat prowess has likely taken another giant quantitative leap!
Furthermore, Darcel and Aniela also realized that this can possibly happen to them as well. Since they were said to have a similar amount of latent Magical Aura, it would only be natural if they too can reach massive breakthroughs.
This thought only raised their anticipation to the skies. Indeed, becoming Mages was precisely the right idea!
A few seconds swiftly passed.
And finally then, the Magical Marks lost their bright crimson luster.
At the same time, Masami flung her eyes wide open. A flash of flames and Magical Energy swirled in her pupils before promptly dispersing.
With a broad grin splitting across her face, Masami retracted her Heavenly Qi and Magical Energy, causing the others to finally open their eyes.
The awe looks she received from Darcel, Aniela, and Siren Blade made Masami feel utterly fantastic. Although, it was mainly Darcel and Aniela's awe gazes that caused Masami to puff out her massive chest.
When thinking about it, this had to be the first time she ever achieved this.
Usually, these two would act so calmly in most situations. So it was incredibly amusing to see them both flustered and shocked.
Even as Masami already finished her ritual, there was still a lingering silence within the room.
Under this silence, Masami promptly strolled up to Darcel and Aniela. She crossed her arms under her massive bust in a prideful manner and spouted an equally prideful expression on her face.
"Hmph-hmph! What's the matter? Cat finally got your tongues? Well, I can't blame you. My power is amazing. Honestly, that ritual was suitable enough."
Hearing Masami's incredibly boastful words was enough to awaken Darcel, Aniela, and Siren Blade from their stupor.
Darcel and Aniela quickly exchanged a glance with each other before shrugging their shoulders.
Really, they only had one thing to say at this moment.
"Truly amazing."
Both Darcel and Aniela simultaneously spoke while caressing Masami's fluffy fox ears.
And even though neither of them could see her expression, Darcel and Aniela could just tell she was struggling to maintain her pride under their caresses.
Before they got too far, Darcel and Aniela retracted their hands.
Masami immediately regained her previous stature, jerking her head towards the Magical Marks, telling the duo, "Well Aniela, it's your turn. Let's see if you can raise hell like me."
Unknowingly Masami turned her tone to be both slightly cocky and competitive. With this great power running through her, she felt her mischievous side arise within her.
In response to the challenge, Aniela similarly crossed her arm under her more moderate bust.
Although when she did it, she had a more elegant air surrounding her.
A distinct calm aura naturally emitted from Aniela. It felt like no matter what result she was going to achieve, Aniela would be fine with anything.
"It should be natural I do, of course. Since our latent Magical Auras are incredibly similar, of course, the results we achieve are bound to be similarly ground-breaking."
Animal's tone was absolutely unwavering. She then strolled right up to the center of the Magical Marks and immediately stopped.
As she did so, Darcel, Masami, and Siren Blade intently watched on with various thoughts.
Darcel and Masami mainly wanted to examine her differences, though Masami was still feeling a little tick at that smart-ass remark made by Aniela.
For all this time, Siren Blade was actually ignored by the trio.
However, he didn't care in the slightest. All he could focus on now was the fact that their organization is about to gain three monstrous talents.
At that moment, silence once again claimed the room.
Aniela let her eyes close, falling into an intensely focused trance. Then, with complete calm and control, she stimulated her Insect Magical Core, surging her latent Magical Aura to life.
Immediately, the Magical Marks underneath her feet shined a beautiful crimson glow.
At a rapid-fire pace, Aniela's latent Magical Aura transmitted into the Magical Marks.
Time seemed to slow down as Aniela officially began the ritual.
In that instance, Darcel, Masami, and Siren Blade wonder if she too could make the Magical Marks nearly instantly react.
However, neither of them had to wait or think about it for even a split second.
Right then, precisely like Masami, a blinding crimson shine burst out of every Magical Mark on the floor!
'Chi!'
Darcel, Siren Blade, and even the newly Heavenly Transformation Masami were forced to shut their eyes.
The crimson glow from the Magical Marks seemingly had this strange power that could directly affect their eyes no matter their realm.
At the same time, a split second of surprise flashed on Aniela's face. But that surprise promptly turned into calm acceptance.
At that moment, Aniela's Qi energy and Magical Energy broke through their limits, soaring towards incredible new heights!
Waves of dense energy billowed within and out of Aniela's body like a violent tempest. Both Innate Qi and Magical Energy rushed into Aniela's body, increasing both of her realms with rapid-fire speed.
