The inside was vast — a floating world of its own.
Mountains. Waterfalls. Floating scrolls. An endless wall lined with glowing tomes. Vast fields of herbs, pools filled with mystic energy, training platforms, sparring puppets… it had everything.
"Infinite resources… endless cultivation treasures…"
And then he felt it.
Drawn by instinct, Kai moved toward the far end of the chamber. A pedestal floated mid-air, upon it an ancient tome pulsing with black and violet light.
Void Devourer Tactics.
"Fifteen levels. Each one… a transcendence of self. The fifteenth… the threshold of gods."
Kai sat beneath the tome, crossed his legs in lotus position, and opened the first page.
BOOM.
His spiritual sea shook. Power surged through his body as his blood screamed in joy. His Void Dragon Physique awakened — dark energy coiling through his meridians like an ancient beast. His Royal Asura Bloodline rumbled. His bones cracked, his body transforming.
Low Rank 1 — Initiation Realm.
Then—
Mid.
Late.
Peak.
In under an hour.
Breakthrough.
Rank 2 — Foundation Realm.
"Too fast."
Kai opened his eyes, suppressing the next breakthrough. A solid foundation was everything.
