28 The Finished Breakthrough (1/2)

Exactly a Day after Lewis began his breakthrough...

I came to my senses in what seemed like an instant – my breakthrough had happened like falling asleep, it felt like an instant since I had sat down to begin and yet I knew very well that a full day had passed.

The first thing I noticed when glancing around at my surroundings, however, is that I wasn't where I had started my breakthrough, there were multiple corpses around me with some of them still fresh, their auras still lingering in the air.

'I forgot about the guards… I'm an idiot!' I screamed in my mind, these idiots must've thought that the death of the guards could give them an opportunity to invade this room, especially now that the Core Gathering Cultivator on the bed had been killed.

I glanced over at her slumped corpse and couldn't help but wonder about what was going on, I had clearly felt her leave but the fact she was here was the whole reason I was able to breakthrough to the Core Gathering Realm myself.

My body felt full of power at this moment, if I could move at the speed of a race-car at my previous speed using Shadow I was comparable to a plane now, I could feel my speed had become that much more impressive than it had been.

The increase to my strength was no joke either –the current me could beat ten of me at the Mortal Leaving Pinnacle stage, it was no wonder the monkey didn't go down so easily with such a huge increase in physical abilities for a human it was assured that a beast would have greater changes.

In the lower regions of my chest I could feel something akin to a burning fire pulsating energy, surprisingly I could literally see 'inside' of me using my energy, this must be the sense of the Core Gathering Realm – I could see the details of what was happening inside me with my mind.

A pulsating core of energy, like the molten core of a planet, blazed on inside of me automatically coursing energy through every part of my body, filling me with vigor.

'Amazing…' I was dumbfounded by what was happening inside of my body, I'd never seen anything like it and now it was something attached to me, like an extra limb I could control it with simply a thought and increase the rate of energy absorption and its movement around my body.

After I finally pulled myself out of the daze of my breakthrough and the haziness I had from waking up I noticed the familiar shadow black like words that hovered in front of me, before I read them I tried to 'scan' them with my sense and surprisingly I could yet they weren't physical objects, like my sense they were literally attached to my mind yet I could see them through my eyes instead.

Finally becoming bored of playing with my new 'tools' I read the shadow text which hadn't disappeared yet since I hadn't actually read them.
