Chapter 833: Chapter 555: Raylo Advances to Catastrophe Level
"HOWL!"
Moonlight let out a low growl. Its Domain instantly unfolded like a massive transparent shield, protecting its three underlings behind it. Only then did they barely withstand the terrifying aftershocks of energy.
In the distance, Silver Moon Blade’s dragon eyes were full of solemnity. It could clearly sense that the Power erupting from Raylo’s body was of a level far beyond any Power it had ever seen, even... surpassing its own!
That was the Power of the World itself!
The first day passed amidst this violent crushing and reshaping. Raylo’s body alternately radiated intense golden light as his Fighting Spirit pierced the heavens, making him look like an undefeated god of war; then it shimmered with a blue glow as Magic Power surged, likening him to a sovereign commanding the Elements.
Fighting Spirit and Magic Power—two distinctly different Powers—clashed and annihilated each other wildly within his body. Under the overwhelming pressure of the Power of the World, they were forced into the deepest level of entanglement and fusion. This was a process of using the origin of the world to reforge his body!
By the second day, the violent energy conflicts began to weaken. Raylo’s body seemed to have adapted to this level of agonizing tearing. The crushed fragments of his Fighting Spirit and Magic Power no longer fiercely resisted. Instead, guided by the Power of the World, they began attempting an entirely new arrangement and combination. Wisps of new energy slowly began to emerge within his meridians and his Sea of Spiritual.
This brand-new Power possessed both the tyranny and sharpness of Fighting Spirit, as well as the agility and versatility of Magic Power. At the same time, it integrated the mighty force of the Power of the World. It was incredibly heavy; a single strand of this energy, no thicker than a hair, had a "mass" that far exceeded the sum of ten or even a hundred times his previous Fighting Spirit or Magic Power.
"AWOO?"
Seeing that the energy dissipating around Raylo was no longer so violent, Coal Ball grew bolder. It quietly poked its little head out, stuck out its tongue, and cautiously licked at a wisp of overflowing energy in the air. It thought this was another highly nutritious tonic it could sneak a bite of.
"SMACK!"
Moonlight’s furry paw slapped onto its forehead once again, swatting it so hard that it was embedded right into a dirt pit, leaving only the tip of its tail wagging outside.
"HOWL!"
Moonlight let out a low growl at the mound of dirt. It could sense that Raylo’s aura was undergoing an earth-shattering transformation. If the former Raylo had been an unsheathed sword, his sharp edge completely exposed, then now, he was like a bottomless ancient well. The surface was calm and unruffled, yet it concealed a terrifying depth capable of swallowing everything.
Silver Moon Blade slightly opened its eyes. Its gaze pierced through the Cloud Sea and landed on the tiny figure atop the isolated peak. A trace of human-like shock flashed through its pale golden dragon eyes. It could tell that Raylo was using the Power of the World as kindling, smelting his Fighting Spirit and Magic... forging a new kind of Power.
Third day, dusk.
Between the sea and the sky, the sunset glow was as red as blood.
The World Power Crystal in Raylo’s hand had already shrunk by more than half. His aura grew increasingly terrifying. Just by sitting there cross-legged, the oppressive might he unconsciously exuded caused fine ripples to form in the surrounding space. His body had completed its preliminary reshaping. At this moment, it was as if it had been carved from the most perfect jade, every inch of flesh containing explosive Power.
His Fighting Spirit and Magic Power intertwined. Driven by the Power of the World, they fused together, their total volume skyrocketing to more than ten times what it had been three days ago!
Yet, he still hadn’t touched that Barrier.
Advancing from Domain to the Catastrophe Level was not merely an accumulation of Power, but a leap in the essence of life. He needed an opportunity. Or rather, he needed to gather all his accumulated Power into a single point to smash open the door to a new world!
This was also the reason why, before taking the step toward the Catastrophe Level, he chose to rely on the Power of the World to fuse his Fighting Spirit and Magic Power. The convergence of these three Powers formed a new Power that was incredibly formidable, far exceeding their combined strength. Using this new Power as a blade, he could absolutely shatter the advancement Barrier and walk faster and further on the path above.
He slowly opened his eyes and looked at the crystal in his hand, which was now only the size of a fingernail.
"Now is the time."
He muttered softly, unhesitatingly pouring all his Spiritual Power into it and draining the remaining Power of the World in one single breath!
"BOOM!"
It felt as though a universe had exploded within his mind.
Raylo’s vision went black, his consciousness instantly pulled into a boundless void. Here, he saw a rushing, endless river. And at the end of this river lay a massive Barrier stretching across the entire void.
That was the Wall of Calamity!
Countless experts had been blocked by this Barrier, unable to advance a single inch for the rest of their lives. Raylo harbored no fear. His will was like a blade, carrying the Power within his body that had been catalyzed to its absolute limit by the Power of the World, and he fiercely slammed into that Barrier!
There was no earth-shattering boom; there was only a tremor originating from the soul.
The Barrier didn’t budge an inch.
Again!
He rallied his Power and launched a second assault! A third time! A tenth time! A hundredth time!
Every impact subjected his spiritual will to the agony of being pulverized. Yet, like the most steadfast Knight, he launched charge after charge without fearing death. He knew he had no way back.
Either smash it open, or... die!
Fourth day, morning.
The first ray of dawn pierced through the clouds over the horizon, falling upon this sea. On the docks of Baisha Port, early-rising fishermen and merchants were preparing to start their day’s work. Suddenly, everyone stopped what they were doing and looked eastward in astonishment.
"Wha... what is that?" A sailor pointed at the distant sky, his voice trembling.
Above the isolated peak where Raylo was in seclusion, the sky... darkened. It wasn’t that dark clouds were obscuring the sun. Centered on that peak, a gargantuan, slowly rotating Energy Vortex was forming.
Wind, fire, water, earth...
All visible and invisible Magic Elements were stirred as if by an invisible giant hand, turning into a brilliant torrent that surged madly toward the center of the vortex!
The sea boiled!
Using the isolated peak as the epicenter, monstrous waves rose from the ocean’s surface, rippling outward in expanding rings as if some ancient Giant Beast were about to awaken from the seafloor.
"Good heavens! Is the Sea Deity furious?"
"Run! The apocalypse is here!"
The port instantly descended into chaos.
Meanwhile, atop the isolated peak, the sensation was the most direct.
"HOWL!"
Moonlight let out a low roar and unleashed its Power to form a protective shield, shielding its companions behind it who had not yet advanced to the Catastrophe Level.
Baisha Port.
Mage Delin gazed out at this stretch of sky from his window.
"He is... reshaping the rules!
"Using himself as a Melting Furnace, he is smelting his Fighting Spirit and Magic Power. Adding the Power of the World, the three fuse together to form a brand-new Power!
"It seems that kid, Raylo, has already found his path."
This was the Catastrophe Level!
His word was law, and he was the world!
At the center of the vortex, Raylo’s body had already transformed into a Light Cocoon. In his spiritual void, after an unknown number of impacts, a tiny crack finally appeared on that seemingly indestructible Wall of Calamity!
Now!
Raylo’s will erupted with its final and most dazzling light. Gathering his newly fused Power, it transformed into a world-cleaving Giant Axe and ruthlessly hacked into that crack!
"CRACK!"
The sound of shattering echoed deep within Raylo’s soul.
The Barrier was broken!
Endless and boundless mighty forces of heaven and earth rushed madly through the breach like a bursting dam, pouring into his body and washing over his soul.
Outside, the Energy Vortex above the isolated peak suddenly stagnated, then abruptly collapsed inward at a speed a hundred times faster than before! All the light, all the Elements, and all the energy poured backward into that tiny Light Cocoon in a single instant!
All was silent.
The wind stopped, the sea calmed, and the terrifying vortex in the sky vanished without a trace, as if everything that had just occurred was merely a hallucination.
Cracks spread across the Light Cocoon, shattering it inch by inch.
Raylo slowly opened his eyes.
Wherever his gaze fell, the world was no longer the same. The wind flowing in the air, the water contained within the sea, the earth slumbering in the rocks...
Everything in his eyes decomposed into the most fundamental lines of rules.
He felt that with just a single thought, he could part the sea and collapse mountains.
This was... the Power of the Catastrophe Level.
He had succeeded.
In four days, he had crossed a heavenly chasm that countless experts couldn’t surmount in their entire lifetimes!
