Chapter 61: Void Crossing Realm Breakthrough

"What’s the matter, Supreme Elder Yu Yu?" Gu Loong inquired with a monotone voice that made it impossible to tell if he was concerned or not. "Did that ’Fallen Immortal’ say something to you by chance?"

Yu Yu’s eyebrows deeply furrowed again.

But betting on him returning with sweet treats, she decided not to disclose anything about him, merely responding with "don’t know" to every question they asked her.

In the end, the group of powerful Elders could only helplessly leave the scene. They came and left empty-handed, whereas Yu Yu was left swinging her projected red-panda tail around in hypnotic motion on her bed.

"Fake Old Man Gu has no choice but to stop by and give me more sweets if he wants me to keep ma mouth shut, yurm, yurm," Yu Yu said seriously, with her snowy white hair turning a light shade of red, welcoming the perking up of a pair of adorable fluffy ears. "If he doesn’t... Hurm..."

She wasn’t a fan of violence—or fighting—but she’d definitely do something!

Because she’d be angry!

Grrrr!

Trying and failing to make a scary face, Yu Yu eventually gave up. She then went back to hibernation, still leaning on the glimmer of hope that Fake Old Man Gu would return with the most scrumptious of goodies.

As one could imagine, Yu Yu was a terrible Supreme Elder.

But with her status as daughter of the Sect Leader and a once-in-a-hundred-thousand-year genius, her being a Supreme Elder was only par for the course. Furthermore, her cultivation Realm and strength were a notch above the majority of the Supreme Elders, so she certainly deserved her position.

In fact, she’d be perfect... if not for the fact that she was so damn unreliable and lazy!

For the Higher-Executives, even incompetent Outer Elders had more uses than her!

"Guheheh~, ice cream...~"

A lost cause she was.

Even so, time marched forward. And with the cycling of the hours in a day, the aftermath of the Demonic Faction Invasion blew over. The ’Fallen Immortal’ was, however, commemorated with a massive statue in the Lower Expanse Capital of ’Heavensfall’ as a way to forever remember his contributions to the Sect.

And even as the higher-ranking members of the Sect actively searched for him and any information on him, Zar continued doing what he always did.

Grinding.

With the impending breakthrough brought forward by Yu Yu’s mysterious tea, he went into seclusion almost right after leaving the Higher Expanse. As Spiritual Energy circled him in a vortex-like way, he realized he could no longer push it back any further.

So with his Lifespan Barrier already active, he opened his System Interface and spammed the Lifespan Investing button located next to his Cultivation!

*Clickity Click!*

*Ding!*

[You have invested 1 day of Lifespan into your Cultivation, giving that final push to commence your Void Crossing Lightning Tribulations!]

[1st Lightning Bolt strikes, and you take no damage]

[2nd Lightning Bolt strikes, yet you remain unharmed and unmoved]

[3rd Lightning Bolt crashes to the earth with ten times the firepower of the 2nd Lightning Bolt, but besides shaking you a little, nothing happens to you]

[4th Lightning Bolt attempts to break through your defenses, but can’t even crack your outermost Protective Energy Barrier...]

[5th Lightning Bolt doesn’t like how cocky you are, so it ragefully annihilates everything in the surroundings to reach you! It’ll kill you!!]

[And yet it fails... Not even a scratch on your body, with most of your protective barriers completely intact...]

’Why do you seem so disappointed, System?? What the hell!?’

[6th Lightning Bolt plans to avenge its fallen comrades, and is officially the first to shatter all of your Protective Barriers! But once coming into contact with your robust physique, what little remained of its momentum -poofed- against you...]

[The 7th and by far the strongest of the Lightning Bolts arrives in the form of an army of lightning dragons, each one thousands of miles in width! The power contained within every single one of them is also over ten times that of a single 6th phase Lightning Bolt!]

[You’re sure to die this time, muhahaha!!]

[However, all that build-up and the 7th Lightning Tribulation fails to even so much as scratch you...]

[Your breakthrough into the Void Crossing Realm is deemed a success, and unfortunately, no Character Development was had as a result of this -meh- accomplishment...]

"Hmm... Hmm???"

Zar’s eyes widened in astonishment when he realized that he actually succeeded in his Tribulations on the first try!

What sort of craziness was this!?

It normally took dozens, if not hundreds, of retries to breakthrough all the previous Major Realm Bottlenecks! What was so different this time around!?

Shouldn’t the difficulty have increased exponentially more than the previous breakthrough sequence!??

[It did...] The System replied while making a soured face with its digital emoticon. [It even scaled up as high as it could to match your potential. But with every Lightning Tribulation, there’s an upper limit.]

[Unfortunately, that upper limit was nowhere near high enough to obstruct the overwhelming might of your ’Unrivaled Rendering’ Spirit Roots. As a result of this, even the most powerful 9★ Void Crossing Tribulations fell short... by a lot...]

[But that doesn’t mean the next Lightning Tribulations will be so easy, for the upper limits will be of another level!]

’But if I just continue upgrading my Spirit Roots, I can further improve my chances of success, can’t I?’

The Lifespan Extraction System started sweating bullets, sending out System Notifications in an effort to distract him:

[A-Anyway, you forgot to look at these...!]

[With your successful breakthrough into the Void Crossing Realm, your physical body and soul begin to transform. The Essence of Void seeps in from the Void Dimension, assimilating with your existence to spawn qualitative change!]

[You acquire a Level 1 Void Body!]

[P.S., the Void Crossing Realm is progressed by Refining and Amplifying the quantity of Essence of Void in your Void Body. Reach a certain overflow point and your Void Body will advance a level, which will in turn advance your cultivation by a level!]

[You have—]

"Wait a damn second."
