Chapter 1426: Advancing to a Double Level 6 Powerhouse (Part )
"As for what those urgent matters are, they are naturally my own advancement matters."
Lei Xiao took a deep breath and his eyes became deeper.
As we all know, entering the sixth level is an extremely difficult task.
Since the blank era, countless peak fifth-order and even half-step sixth-order warriors from all races have been left far behind.
It is precisely because of this that the special level of Half-Step Sixth Level appears, which is obvious.
After all, those who can reach the peak of the fifth level are considered to be geniuses, but it is still difficult for them to reach the threshold of the sixth level. And there are many strong people who die directly in the process of advancement.
"Besides the fact that advancement itself is extremely difficult, there is one thing that cannot be ignored."
Lei Xiao's eyes were as sharp as torches, and he thought so in his heart.
"That means the time required to advance to the sixth level is much longer than that required to advance to the fifth level."
"This is something that I, and even our entire camp, need to be extremely careful about at the moment. If any unexpected incident occurs during the promotion process, I will not be able to handle it immediately."
"You know, what we are facing now is not only the "Eclipse" that caused the catastrophe, but also other forces from the outer world that have set their sights on us one after another."
"In particular, several nearby alliances have quietly sent a number of spies to operate in our territory on the side of the Dragonborn, Flower Fairies, Trolls, and Tauren. Their purpose is currently unknown. This is the latest information I received tonight."
"Besides, there is the lich who was defeated once and the mastermind behind Boruso, who are waiting in the dark to make a move."
"This undoubtedly means that even though everything seems peaceful now, there are undercurrents and even murderous intentions all around me."
"But even so, advancement is a gap that I have to cross. Only by successfully entering the sixth level can I cope with the future with greater ease."
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao nodded slightly.
As for the time of promotion, it will be tomorrow morning after the routine affairs are completed, especially after the [Amethyst of Contract] is used up, which will further consolidate the stability of our entire camp.
Opposite her, Ariel noticed that Lei Xiao's face had become serious again, and he was obviously thinking about something. She quickly stopped talking, fearing to disturb him.
At this moment, when looking at Lei Xiao, in Ariel's starry eyes, in addition to peace and tenderness, there was also a bit of uncontrollable worry.
From the beginning of Kongqing Town, the Lord has been carrying the hopes and expectations of too many people on his shoulders, including the entire human race and the current foreign races.
Although the lord's upright figure never bent and his eyes were always full of determination, there must have been worries and uneasiness in his heart, but he never showed a single bit of it.
After all, as the Queen of Lengyan, I am busy every day, let alone the lord who is in charge of everything?
All I can do, apart from helping the lord share his worries as much as possible, is to stay by his side, through life and death.
"My Queen, why are you silent?"
Noticing that Ariel had stopped talking, Lei Xiao spoke instead.
"nothing."
Ariel smiled and asked, "By the way, Lord, are you hungry? A few days ago, I learned a dish from your hometown from Qin Qian."
"Don't bother, just get ready to rest."
Lei Xiao nodded slightly, and then gave Ariel a knowing smile.
……
The next morning, according to the predetermined plan, Lei Xiao first held a meeting in the Lion Castle to inform everyone of his advancement. Then he used the [Amethyst of the Contract] to successfully subdue Broy and officially brought the dwarves under his command. Then he returned to the territory in the Shadow Forest.
As soon as he entered the city gate of the territory, Lei Xiao looked around.
The place is heavily guarded. In addition to a circle of barracks neatly arranged around the city wall, there are fountains and gardens everywhere. It is no different from the most core palace area in a royal capital, and even more magnificent.
"Yes, every time I return to the territory recently, I see a different scene with each passing day, especially during the day. It is really amazing."
Lei Xiao nodded with satisfaction and began to walk towards the castle in the center of the territory, which was also the lord's residence.
According to the previous design plan, now that the territory as the palace area of the inner city has been completed, it is time to continue expanding to the outer city.
After all, what he wanted to build was not just a heavily defended fortress, but a huge city with complete facilities and talents.
Lei Xiao thought so and continued to look around.
Since the inner city area of the current territory is already larger than the Lengyan Palace, they were still on the road after walking for a long time. They could only see the outlines of the lord's mansion and several miraculous buildings vaguely visible in the garden from afar.
"That's no wonder. After all, the outer area within the city wall alone can easily accommodate an entire legion of elite subordinates. It's no surprise that it's so vast."
"I remember when the city wall was first built, this place was still empty and the road didn't feel so long."
Lei Xiao looked at the flower beds full of flowers around him and raised his eyebrows slightly.
By the way, I also gave a fourth-level legion quota to the territory. It won’t be long before all the elite subordinates here can reach the fourth level or above. This is something I couldn’t imagine before.
As Lei Xiao was thinking, the lord's mansion, which was also heavily guarded, soon came within reach.
Seeing Lei Xiao's figure, the heavily armed guards wearing black armor around the lord's mansion hurriedly saluted respectfully, making a crisp sound of armor colliding.
"No need to be polite."
Lei Xiao nodded slightly and stepped into the castle gate of the lord's mansion.
The first thing Lei Xiao did when he returned to the mansion was to summon all the commanders in the territory and make some arrangements for the planning of the construction of the outer city. He also informed everyone that he was about to be promoted here and ordered everyone to be on high alert.
The reason why Lei Xiao chose to advance in the territory was naturally because this was his lifeline and it was extremely quiet, making it undoubtedly the preferred place for advancement.
In addition, Lei Xiao also deployed two divinely favored places, Ice Stone City and Crystal Blue City, around the territory to further strengthen the territory's defense.
After everything was deployed, Lei Xiao first completed the daily affairs of receiving the recruitment order, and then finally came to the training room on the top floor of the mansion.
"Then let's get ready."
Lei Xiao sat cross-legged in the center of the softly lit training room and took a deep breath.
Then, he waved his hand casually, and a whole row of brocade boxes surrounded by strange fragrance and magic scrolls of various colors emerged and were neatly arranged in front of him.
The road to advancement to the sixth level is one of life and death, so one must be fully prepared, and these are precisely the precious things that assist in advancement.
Although every item here is enough to attract strong men from outside the domain, and they are even willing to fight for it, for Lei Xiao, it is just one of the many buffs.
As Lei Xiao refined and activated the energy one after another, gentle waves of energy surged out, causing Lei Xiao's entire body to soon emit a thick layer of colorful halo.
"Nourish the veins, calm the mind, stabilize the energy vortex, strengthen the energy circuit, continue to heal, continue to repair the energy circuit, enhance mental strength... Oh, and attach a layer of divine power to various parts of the body."
Feeling the warmth and softness that was constantly spreading like ripples in his body, Lei Xiao focused his mind, and a round magic potion with an extremely strong fragrance appeared on his palm again.
This is the key to advancement, the sixth-level permanent strength-increasing potion "Morning Star", which is extremely precious even in the outside world.
"Let's officially begin."
Lei Xiao took another slow, deep breath, and then without hesitation, he flicked his fingers and put the "Morning Star" into his mouth.
boom!
At this moment, Lei Xiao's head suddenly made a loud buzzing sound, and the warmth that had just been lingering in his mind was instantly swept away.
The "Morning Star" was like a huge, scorching hot meteorite that smashed directly into his body from the sky, causing his entire body to instantly collapse and crack, leaving it riddled with holes.
"I had expected that he would be much more irritable than before, but I didn't expect it to reach such a terrible level. There is no time to adapt at all."
Lei Xiao broke out in a sweat instantly. Although he had experienced this feeling of body being torn apart many times, it was still unbearable every time.
As countless violent energies swept and exploded throughout the body at the same time, the two energy vortices that were originally slowly rotating suddenly increased in speed like engines running at full power, and were completely out of control.
As the two energy vortexes spun more and more wildly, the originally stable energy in Lei Xiao's body began to gush out uncontrollably, rapidly pouring into every part of his body.
You know, there was already violent energy brought by the "Morning Star" in Lei Xiao's body that was surging everywhere, and now, the energy in his body was surging out uncontrollably, which undoubtedly caused the two incompatible forces to form a confrontation and began to compete with each other for the energy circuit.
During this process, although the violent energy of the "Morning Star" was obviously much stronger, this was Lei Xiao's own energy home turf, so he did not fall into a disadvantage for the time being.
The direct result of this was that Lei Xiao's already extreme sense of tearing was intensified, causing his face to turn pale in an instant and his breathing to become extremely rapid.
"This is my body. How can I allow you to do whatever you want here?"
Lei Xiao tried his best to adjust his breathing, and began to suppress the two runaway energy whirlpools with all his strength.
Although the extreme tearing sensation almost made him faint, he was still able to stay awake thanks to so many buffs.
While mobilizing the power of the gods, Lei Xiao used all his mental strength in an attempt to bring the two runaway energy vortexes back under control.
However, as the tearing continued to intensify, Lei Xiao soon felt as if he had fallen into an icy cave. The bone-deep coldness began to spread throughout his body, causing Lei Xiao to quickly become precarious.
You know, for ordinary strong people who have advanced, it is extremely difficult to suppress just one energy vortex, let alone Lei Xiao needs to suppress two at the same time?
"I am not afraid of the Eclipse that attempted to cause a catastrophe, so how could I be defeated by my own energy vortex?"
Even though his body was churning, Lei Xiao still gritted his teeth and continued to suppress it, even though he almost fainted many times.
I don't know how long it took, but the two wildly rotating energy whirlpools finally calmed down gradually, and the runaway energy was also taken back by Lei Xiao, but the violent and hot tearing sensation did not stop, but became more and more intense.
Because along with the refining of the "Morning Star", more and more violent energy was released, almost bursting Lei Xiao's meridians.
Fortunately, Lei Xiao had all the buffs, plus the endless power of God's favor, which gave Lei Xiao a lot of breathing time.
Of course, the root of all this is that Lei Xiao’s consciousness has not been defeated, otherwise everything will be in vain.
"Back then, Jiang Xi failed to suppress the energy vortex in time, causing both the accumulated promotion energy and his own energy to run wild, causing the energy circuit in his body to completely collapse, and that's why he failed."
"But if you want to knock me down, it may not be that easy!"
Lei Xiao roared in his heart, and his mental strength increased to the extreme again. At the same time, he began to frantically mobilize the power of God to help suppress the increasingly violent energy in his body.
"Only by stabilizing these violent energies can we proceed to the next step. These are the experiences that Shult, Chris, Fanny and others have told me. With these experiences, I will be invincible!"
Time was passing by every second. With Lei Xiao firing at full power, under the continuous suppression of his mental strength and the power of God, the extremely unbridled violent energy in his body finally showed a sign of decline, and his movements gradually slowed down.
Sensing that the opponent was already showing signs of decline, Lei Xiao immediately took advantage of the situation and pursued him. Soon he completely controlled the violent energy within a certain range, preventing the opponent from running rampant in his body.
However, even though the impact like a landslide and tsunami had stopped, the heart-wrenching pain did not ease much. After all, the violent energy still filled every energy circuit, causing Lei Xiao to sweat profusely.
"Let's start the next step."
Feeling that the energy circuits in his body were already overwhelmed and could burst at any time, Lei Xiao did not hesitate and began to drain the energy without stopping.
Lei Xiao skillfully separated a strand of pure energy that he had just gained control of from the physical energy vortex, and quickly dispersed it to various parts of the energy circuit, guiding the violent energies into the energy vortex in his abdomen.
In this process, although the violent energy is like an unruly beast, it is still extremely difficult to tame even if a bridle of pure energy is put around its neck.
Every frantic struggle made Lei Xiao's body churn and he couldn't stop sweating, but he was eventually defeated and entered the vortex of physical energy in his abdomen.
Until the familiar expansion feeling of the physical energy vortex quietly came, Lei Xiao's brows were furrowed again.
Next, it is time to truly test yourself, which will be a crucial step in advancing. (End of this chapter)
