Chapter 614: Progress After A Year…
It’s been an entire year!
An entire year of not even a single night’s sleep, but of endless cultivation, practice, fighting, and cultivation again. A year of a relentless, ever-continuous cycle. And finally, he had been able to surpass his former peak.
Having cultivated the second Star level of the Nine Star Hegemony Body Art, the Angered God Body Star, Zeras’s cultivation now rivaled that of a Peak Universe Origin Rank, compared to the former Zeras who was at the Early Universe Origin Rank. He had also practiced four out of the five stances of his Sword Breathing Art, leaving just one more. His Nine Star Fist Art had also been practiced to the second level—the Fist of Angered God, which followed the heart of hegemony!
Combining the Angered Body Star level with all his Star Breathing Sword stances and his Nine Star Fist Art, he could say he would most likely rival the Pseudo-Undying Realm rank. But that was a fact he couldn’t confirm since he wasn’t really close to a person at such a power level.
Still, a year had passed, and now was the time to return all the art manuals that he had taken. The third level of the Nine Star Hegemony Art was missing, along with the resulting techniques after that. They were probably kept on higher floors accessible only to inner sect members.
Besides, the devilish creatures in this place were no longer able to match his strength. He was able to wipe almost all of them out and break their will to continue fighting him.
He had to find a higher level of devilish creatures if he ever hoped to keep increasing his combat prowess, and the only way to do that was to go to the Shadow Oppression Valley meant for inner sect disciples…
In the end, everything pointed towards one thing, which was becoming an inner sect member.
With one final look at the place, he realized his days here were done. He had spent every day for an entire year in this place, and now he would be moving on.
“It’s funny what power can do, though. When I came here, I used to slither and run away with my tail between my legs. I would be done for if those devils sighted me. But now, I’m leaving and none of them are in sight, all having run back to their world.
This shows my path is correct. My path of wanting strength. One day, all my problems would be just like this if I kept on this path. All running and hiding away from me…” Zeras convinced himself as his string disappeared and he crushed the card in his hands, instantly disappearing from the place.

“You’re back!” The faintly excited voice of the two guards who had always kept watch before the Shadow Oppression Valley said as they looked at Zeras, who slowly stepped out of the vortex. They both were twin brothers, Yang Ji and Yang Mi.
Even though they had all started on the wrong side of the lane, with both of them underestimating Zeras and saying he would lose his body parts the day his luck ran out, they were the ones who knew of Zeras’s growth the most.
Every time he exited the portal, they would also go in and check, and they could see the number of devils ever reducing.
The endless days of meeting with Zeras every morning finally built just enough bond for them to no longer abuse or underestimate him.
Eventually, they had grown familiar with each other, even if it was nothing but small gossip and simple greetings.
With every visit, they could see Zeras growing stronger and stronger until they themselves realized with certainty that he was now well above them in strength. With strength being the criterion for respect and hierarchy in the sect, they had conceded and built respect for the young man instead.
But Zeras didn’t really care about the respect and all that. Even if they kept mocking and gossiping behind him and to his face, he would still have smiled and simply been on his way.
He had a war with death itself in a couple of years from now. When did he have the time to care about someone’s useless opinion about him? freёwebnovel.com
“As I’ve always been…” Zeras replied to them with a nod before heading down to the outer sect area, and the twin brothers looked at each other before they both scurried off into the vortex.
Arriving at the place, all they saw was an empty, desolate battlefield and broken areas brimming with powerful residual aura of some type of uncontrollable force.
“He… he really wiped them all out! But not only that, he sent them retreating back to their world…” Yang Mi said in clear surprise.
“I thought they say the devils do not feel fear. Then how did they retreat?”
“It only confirms it, Yang Ji. In the face of strength, then all things really would bow.”
“The only people I see striking fear into the hearts of these insane devils are the top ten disciples of the inner sect and all the core sect members. Right now, I would say he is worthy of becoming an inner sect member.”
“The elders all know too of his strength. Some of them come here to check his growth every month, once he leaves. But they have been oddly quiet and refuse to give him an invitation even when they know he is now qualified.”
“It’s as if they’re waiting for something. Like the perfect moment…”
“Whatever they are planning…”
“It can’t be good…”

“All hail the boss!!!” The roar came from none other than Kenji, who ran up to him from the distance with a shameless and bootlicking smile on his face.
The young man was still as fast as ever, not even cutting a slab of fat throughout the entire year.
But strangely, he had turned into Fluffy’s cuddle partner!
