Chapter 488 – Aiko’s Evolution – Part 3
Grandpa Flame wheezed from all that work that he had to do; fortunately, he grew strong enough to deal with it... somehow.
In front of him was a large glass vessel shining gently. It no longer held the power it previously did, but power foreign even to him.
It felt like he would get swallowed into it if he got too close to it, but he didn't actually know why or how that would work.
Taking some space away from the glass vessel, he tried to look at Aiko.
'First, taking a memorial gift from a Dragon and now disintegrating her body and acquiring the spirit body...' He was completely flabbergasted at the events Aiko could achieve in a few months!
'But how does she-' Grandpa Flame suddenly paused. '... is that [Sun Dew]...?' He now stopped thinking.
Many precious materials appeared around Aiko. Most of them were not supposed to be here, but in order to get her body back, a few rules were bent.
The Heavenly Dao wouldn't be able to punish them for that, since it had to take care of the Immeasurable Disaster.
[Applying Heavenly Treasures to create a Pseudo-Deity Body.][Applying Sun Dew to increase its effects and allow it to progress in the future.][Application successful. The new body is under construction.][0.01%]
The [Primordial Devouring Fire-Fox Glass Vessel] is burning quietly next to Aiko, supplying her with heat.
[Beast Core is progressing...][Beast Core is reaching a critical stage!]
Aiko's spirit body shone brightly, literally turning into a Sun.
[The Seal is unable to hold back the heat, releasing the heat without releasing the True Essence!]
The ground around Aiko immediately turned into lava, and all life around her perished at that moment.
Even the resistant fire-based flora was unable to bear the sheer pressure of Aiko's heat.
[[Solar Body] is progressing into [Divine Solar Body]. Your body can now passively emit solar energy!]
It happened just then, when Aiko's origin found a suitable way to sustain herself.
The shining Sun in the middle of the plains turned into an apocalyptic force that couldn't be rivalled.
[Divine Solar Body][1st Effect: Sun Empowerment. (The closer to Noon you are, the more powerful you are.) (Current Empowerment: ???)]
The ground around Aiko caved in as the immeasurable force descended upon the Sacred Realm.
At first, the Sacred Realm resisted, but...
[20%]
Another eruption happened. Anything within 50 miles turned to lava or vaporised into nothingness, and the heat reached all the way to 200 miles.
The ground moved away from Aiko, creating a huge tsunami of lava, but it didn't end there...
[40%]
Aiko's forming body erupted again, creating two cones of pure Solar Energy. The sky was cleansed by it, even the Sun high above was overpowered by the sheer force.
Another cone went down under Aiko, propelling her body into a levitating state while creating even bigger lava waves.
[60%]
The Sacred Realm stopped trying and accepted its fate... it would turn into a desolate land where nobody would be able to live...
There was no longer any colour around Aiko, just pure, unadulterated destruction.
Aiko's diffusion energy reached such a state that anything within 500 miles turned into lava, and 2,000 miles could feel heat from the star.
Fortunately, nobody at this point was inside the Sacred Realm, or everyone would die without being able to do anything.
[80%]
There was no longer any ground directly under Aiko. Everything was pushed aside, and the whole Sacred Realm was engulfed in her Solar Essence.
There was no flora or fauna remaining. Only a desolate land full of unimaginably hot Solar Essence.
[99%]
All the Solar Essence exuded by Aiko suddenly froze. There was a powerful suction going back into her body, something old was beckoning it and would not allow anything to go to waste.
[100%]
Aiko opened her eyes. Her body grew once again, and she could feel it, but...
'Those are B's...' This form was very different from what she remembered...
The current Aiko was around 165cm tall. Her body was very slim and without too many curves. She had a healthy B cup and fit cheeks, emanating young energy, yet she was far from young.
Aiko's legs were quite long, waiting to be tested during a run. Her thighs were slim, leaving a room between her legs even when she closed them.
Aiko’s hips didn't change much, and she still retained that hourglass figure, although it was somewhere between it and a rectangular figure.
Her arms were slimmer than before, beckoning anyone to play with them.
Aiko's face was pretty and young. It pretty much portrayed a young, cheerful girl full of energy, yet it had strong hints of unadulterated mischief and adult essence.
Her eyebrows were thin, burning quietly. Her eyes saw the biggest change as, instead of singular or similar colours, it looked like the sun was burning inside them, giving a multitude of colours from red all the way to blue.
They were mesmerising, and if one stared long enough into them, they would slowly lose their mind and soul to her.
Aiko's nose was small and slightly round; the tip had a point, but it was not sharp.
Her lips were small and cute, yet a single kiss would be able to steal your soul without any effort.
Her ears fully formed into those of a Human, yet she had one more pair on top of her head. Those ears were ever so big and ever so sensitive, picking up the faintest of sounds.
Her hair was long, so long that you could not see the end. It held similar colours to her eyes, starting from red and ending with blue.
The biggest change was her tails. When one looked at them, none could see the end of them.
This was the [Divine Solar Body], a body almost unrivalled when it came to destruction. The only other bodies that could match it were space and time-related.
Aiko blinked her eyes. Her long eyelashes distorted the space with their intense heat, yet their beauty couldn't be hidden from the distortion.
Even Daos would currently bow to Aiko's beauty and fear her current might, which was quickly fading.
The Sacred Realm could no longer maintain Aiko's [Divine Solar Body], so her current output was dropping quickly.
[Restarting the system and re-evaluating information.]
Aiko found that familiar sound more pleasing to the ears.
[Levels are now negligible. Please max out Bloodlines and Elemental Affinities first before Levels can return.]
Aiko's lips twitched. This was definitely a good thing after being scammed, but she still didn't like it. She now had no way to gain Stat Points or Skill Points.
[Stat Points and Skill Points are merging into Cultivation Points. The previous categories will stay until you use them up.][You can also convert Stat Points and Skill Points if one so wishes.]
Aiko didn't ask how to get them, since she knew she would be told this time.
[You can obtain Cultivation Points by fighting/killing/experiencing things. Those include, but are not limited to, Humans, Beast, Immortals, Spirits, Ghost, .......]
[Each Race and Cultivation Stage Awards different Cultivation Points. The stronger they are, the more points you can obtain!]
-----
The Blood Fox, The Twins, and everyone made it out alive from the Sacred Realm. After the first wave of heat, they knew that Aiko was doing something and that it would not be wise to stay there.
The Blood Fox nodded at them. She still had control over her body thanks to that fan and those gloves.
It seemed like the one who controlled her suffered injuries, so she would be safe for the time being.
The Twins were likewise healthy, but slightly upset. They were unable to collect as many Treasures as they hoped, but the Sacred Realm would close soon anyway, so they would have to get over it.
However, that begged the question, will Aiko manage to get out...? What will happen if she is not fast enough in getting out?
They didn't know if Aiko could be trapped, but the problem was that the Sacred Realm was not like the Secret Realm.
It was much tougher than Secret Realm, but its space was located far away from this space. If the connection to the portal was cut off, Aiko would be locked in that place.
Mei was restless... She made a mistake, but this time it was fatal.
She should've taken her time with that dream and made normal clothes. She should've stopped Aiko completely from her plans of evolution.
There were so many things she should've done, but didn't because of her old nature.
That same nature that could possibly destroy everything...
Her heart was tight. She was looking towards the portal, waiting for Aiko to return... yet no one came.
The portal was clearly unstable, yet nothing small came out...
Mei's breathing halted and turned irregular. She could no longer feel or hear things around herself. She was completely trained on that portal.
"HAHAHAHAHA!" Maniacal laughter resounded as the portal collapsed. "Finally, she is dead!" Mystic Fox showed herself. "You are now mine!"
Mystic Fox rushed at the Fairy Jade Fox, intending to make her her mate and enslave her through pleasure.
Then, something changed...
Mei's mind broke. She knew that Aiko was still alive, guessing their connection, but it was so far and so faint that she feared the worst.
She didn't want to be alone. Sure, there was the Grandmaster and others, but that would quickly become stale and meaningless.
"Yeah... Everything is meaningless without Aiko..." Mei murmured as she breathed out.
A sudden pressure descended upon the whole place. It was not cultivation pressure or might, no, it was something older and more ancient.
The pressure of one's Soul.
The pressure that Mei accumulated through her two lifetimes. The same pressure and way of thinking that got her into this situation.
In that single moment, everyone briefly passed out; it was so quick that nobody noticed, not even the delegations from the mainland, the powerhouses that rivalled the heavens.
Yet, one person took the whole brunt.
"Impossible..." Those were the last words Mystic Fox muttered before she passed out as her Divine Sea was encroached by a powerful curse.
Curse so ancient that it could only be found in the Immortal World.
[Heavenly Puppet]
It was a nasty curse that turned the target completely obedient and submissive.
Mei had plans to make her suffer for eternity, but yet another change occurred.
"Ack!" Her hand stung. The same hand that had the Rune connected to Aiko.
It was sucking all of her energy like there was no tomorrow.
So much and so quickly that even her organs twisted, and she vomited blood.
Dai Lu was alerted and immediately provided energy for her Mistress, yet it was not enough.
It was like a bottomless pit formed inside the Runes that were on her hand.
Dai Lu wanted to cut off the protection, but Mei shook her head.
She started consuming Heavenly Graded Pills to keep up with that consumption.
The Delegations silently came to her side and offered their energy. It was too early for such an exceptional seedling to die. They had to take her to the mainland and, as such, had to protect her...
