Chapter 599: Fluffy’s Reluctance…

As the first light of dawn breaks over the horizon, the sky transitions to a delicate gradient of purples and pinks.

The stars slowly fade, making way for the soft, golden hues that begin to emerge.

The air around the tall mountain abode is crisp and cool, filled with the gentle rustling of leaves and the distant song of early birds greeting the new day.

Behind the mountain, close to the passing stream, sat a silvery-haired young man, sitting cross-legged, his chest gently heaving up and down as the passing air ruffled his hair.

The golden rays of light illuminated his beyond-average white face. Slowly, his thick lashes fluttered before he opened his eyes, which captivated and enchanted with their sheer beauty.

His eyes were a mesmerizing shade of astral blue, reminiscent of the clearest, most pristine waters of a hidden lagoon, holding a depth and intensity that seemed almost otherworldly, like twin sapphires glistening under the light of a full moon.

“Ahhh, Early Desolate Star Rank,” Zeras whispered, a smile blooming on his face as he clenched his right hand into a fist, feeling the strength that gently rippled under his skin.

Through the night, he had spent it properly balancing all the raging energy contained in his body and healing the damages he had sustained during the battle with the heavenly punishment.

But now he had properly healed every single injury, and after the punishment, he had broken through to the first cultivation level of the Nine Star Hegemony Arts: the Early Desolate Star Level.

The cultivation levels of the Nine Star Hegemony Arts were properly arranged and specified just like the normal cultivation levels, but their beginnings were worlds apart.

While the normal cultivation’s first levels were the Star Rank, Meteor Rank, and Cosmic Rank before one finally reaches the Galaxy Rank, the first level of the Nine Star Hegemony Art, the Desolate Star Level, rivals that of a Galaxy Rank cultivator!

It completely skips through all of the beginning stages, placing one almost at the peak of normal cultivation! Even then, a true Early Desolate Star Rank would still be able to easily deal with an Early Galaxy Rank and even prove to be a worthy opponent to a Middle Galaxy Rank.

The next level after the Desolate Star Rank that had yet to be revealed to him could rival that of an Early Universe Rank, Zeras’s previous peak cultivation!

“No wonder one receives heavenly punishment if they dare to practice the art. It is literally an anomaly art…”

In two nights, he had moved from the Early Cosmic Rank to the Early Galaxy Rank. An entire level of cultivation in the span of two days!

“Keep slumbering, Iruma Nasgara. I will continue my ascent, and when you awake, you will have to watch for the rest of your life as I become a warrior that you could have been but are no longer good enough for,” Zeras said with conviction as he rose from his sitting position, walking back towards the mountain abode.

Opening up the door, the first place he turned to look was the bed, where he could see the bump in the mattress.

Walking towards it, the small head popped out of the mattress as Zeras looked at Fluffy, who yawned loudly upon seeing him.

“Wake up, sleepyhead! It’s been an entire day and a quarter,” Zeras said, as Fluffy gave a meow, which sounded more like a helpless and lazy groan than ever.

Immediately, Zeras walked towards the wardrobe, grabbing the sect uniform before quickly donning it.

Thankfully, he had changed the uniform to his normal clothes before he began his cultivation session, or they would have been burnt off him.

“Time to become a full Outer Sect disciple,” Zeras said, more than prepared for the day. He quickly moved towards the door but soon stopped, as he looked at his shoulder, noticing something missing. Turning to look back at the bed, he could see Fluffy lazily closing his eyes.

“You coming?” he asked with a raised eyebrow. Fluffy meowed at him, waving its tiny paw, and Zeras waved back with a smile before gently shutting the door.

But on arriving outside, his face held worry. It was the first time Fluffy had refused to go out with him.

The tiny cat had always been clingy and very jumpy, but now it yawned more than Zeras had seen and refused to leave the confines of his abode.

“Perhaps, it is due to the last encounter with Vegax?” Zeras wondered, remembering that it was also the first time Fluffy had been attacked and had to fend off its attackers, and also the first time Fluffy had attacked anything.

It had always been protected unfailingly by Zeras, even amidst very tough battles. It would gently sit on Zeras’s shoulders, blocked by an energy dome, and watch him defeat his opponents.

Perhaps it was still in a state of shock from being burnt, and with him getting defeated by its burner. After all, the cat was still less than a year old.

“He’ll recover,” Zeras mused to himself. One’s first defeat, especially for a person who has never ever been defeated before, will definitely sting.

But soon, one will get over it and quickly move on, like Zeras. Was he hurt that he got rendered immobile from a single slap from Vegax, a trash at the Pseudo-Universe Rank, that he could have killed with a single punch at his previous peak?

Yes, he was very angry.

But instead of drowning himself self-pity, he had shoved it right past behind him, using it as a motivation to grow as strong as eh could and as fast as possible. One day, he would grow to his former peak, and it would be his turn to do the bullying. ƒreewebɳovel.com

That was how life works, and Fluffy would need to learn that slowly…

With that settled, he quickly ran into the distance, directly to the mountain abode of the Outer Sect Lord Kenji.
