Chapter 1370: Breakthrough and New Beginnings(1)

The next moment, a shocking scene played out in front of her. The aura of resentment began to materialize into reality and soon took the shape of what Laney looked like in the shadow.

The next moment, a pair of blood-red eyes that contained nothing but hatred opened. Laney felt a chill crawling down her spine after she came in contact with the stare.

The next moment, the shadow version walked toward Laney. Laney felt an immense danger emanating from the creature. Laney wanted to walk away, but she found the space around her had frozen. The same was the case at the time, as all those around her looked like statues.

Laney thought of attacking but found that her energy flow also got sealed, leaving her standing there without any defense.

The eerie creature slowly but steadily walked toward Laney and stopped when both their heads touched.

ARGH!

Laney couldn’t help but scream in shock as a wave of pain hit her. The creature slowly began to melt into her, and similarly, the intensity of the pain attacking her grew.

Sometimes, she would feel someone crushing her heart; sometimes, the pain looked like she was being burned alive. It didn’t take long for Laney to understand what was going on.

At that moment, Laney was experiencing the suffering of those who had died because of her or the recruits.

Laney had nothing but pain in her mind since it was slowly becoming unbearable, but at that time, only one-fourth of the eerie creature had melted.

Laney wanted to give up and fall unconscious so that she would no longer have to bear the pain, but her intuition warned her against it.

When Laney had reached the limit of what she could bear, her eyelids began to turn heavy. It wasn’t simple tiredness but a tiredness that came directly from the soul. Once Laney closed her eyes, it was over since her soul would completely exhaust its energy, disappearing from the world of Panagea.

Laney didn’t want to give up yet, but her will to survive seemed futile against the pain unleashed by the creature. Her eyes were about to touch and close when suddenly a conversation rang in her head.

“If you step into the True God level in the next three years, I will give you the prize you have been waiting for.”

The sentence suddenly rang in her head, making her unleash everything she owned at that moment. It wasn’t some special relationship she had with Aakesh that forced things to turn out, but it was her destiny working in her favor. Laney could sense that once she passed the test, she would change her destiny forever.

Even though Laney had long passed the threshold stage and could have a breakthrough to the True God level as soon as she wanted, her gut feeling warned her that she would lose a heaven-sent opportunity if she failed to survive the onslaught of resentment.

The sentence said by Aakesh seemed to fill her with new energy, and Laney’s eyes fully opened. Not long after, the phenomenon of spirit exhaustion returned, but whenever she would be at her limit, she would try to remember the same sentence, and in no time, she would get filled with motivation to keep pushing forward.

Time flew by, and the phenomenon kept going on for several hours.

Laney’s entire body had shrunk by more than two-thirds, with her bones ready to tear through the skin and reveal themselves. The next moment, she exhaled a deep breath, and her eyes closed.

Following that, a golden light seemed to appear in the sky of the central city, and it immediately descended, the destination being Laney’s unconscious body.

As the golden light approached Laney, a light blue ball of energy invisible to everyone began to rise. If Laney were awake, she would have been able to see it and notice the faces of all those she killed over the years for the trial.

The next moment, the golden light and the blue ball met each other. The two energies then began to melt into each other. With the golden light being the dominant one, it slowly absorbed the energy contained in the light blue energy ball.

The next moment, a tint of light blue appeared around the golden light as it kept going for Laney.

The golden light finally reached Laney and melted into her. Following that, a golden light with a light-blue tint shrouded her.

Laney’s shrunken body could be seen restoring itself with the naked eye. In no time, Laney reached her peak condition, but the light shrouding her remained as intense as ever.

After around an hour, the light finally began to dim, but it was still at an intense level. Laney’s power was continuously growing as she kept gaining XP.

In an hour, Laney’s level grew from Level 214 to Level 234, and it was still growing. Another hour had passed and the golden light around her finally reached a state where Laney was visible through it without any uncomfortable vision.

At that time, Laney’s level had reached Level 243, and as it was about to step into Level 244, the light finally disappeared. Laney was still unconscious, but every pore of her body oozed power.

At that moment, the frozen time and space seemed to return to normal, and the people on the street rushed to her. As the last quest was complete after she gained the acknowledgment of the powerful being, there was no hostility in the eyes of the citizens.

Tap! Tap! Tap!𝞰𝑜𝗏𝔢𝗅𝔫𝑬xt.𝗇𝓔t

Suddenly, the sound of hurried footsteps rang in the area as Zoric brushed past the crowd and rushed to Laney. At that time, Zoric seemed to be in severe trouble, as his entire body was covered in blood with numerous injuries spread across his body.

If Laney had received the acknowledgment a few seconds later, Zoric would already be dead. He couldn’t help but heave a sigh of relief when he found Laney to be in better condition than ever.

Zoric also found that the aura of resentment around her had also disappeared, further surprising him. Since Zoric had gained so much from Laney, he was one of the most loyal recruits in Laney’s camp.
