Chapter 458 - An Unexpected Breakthrough
Damien grabbed her hand, but suddenly he felt an influx of ethereal energy flooding into his body, making him feel as if his body might explode from this sudden flow of powerful ethereal energy.
"Don\'t resist it! Otherwise, Yuria wouldn\'t be able to handle all of it. Let your ethereal core absorb this energy since this is pure ethereal energy that is more powerful and denser," Luna instructed.
Damien didn\'t understand what exactly was going on, but he trusted Luna\'s words and stopped resisting as a flood of ethereal energy rushed towards his ethereal core, empowering it with its dense energy.
*Bang!*
Suddenly, Damien felt a popping sound in his ethereal core, which marked its breakthrough to the next level, the Tenth Level of the Spirit Ethereal Realm.
But what was astonishing was that the flood of pure ethereal energy was still coming from Yuria, and it was circling around his ethereal core while steadily getting absorbed into it, making it stronger and stronger.
Damien had no idea how all this was happening and wondered if Yuria was the one doing all this by manipulating the pure ethereal energy to get absorbed by his ethereal core.
He was not only feeling overwhelmed by the sudden strengthening of his ethereal core, but he also felt...good.
However, he sensed that the form of his ethereal core was gradually changing, especially how the gaseous ethereal core was becoming denser and denser till it turned into a pure liquid sphere and…
*Bang!*
\'The First Level Of Earth Ethereal Realm already? Yuria...how the heck are you doing all this?\' Damien was feeling thrilled that his cultivation was rapidly rising and even made it into the next cultivation realm, which means his ethereal core finally progressed into the liquid state, increasing his ethereal strength drastically since the gap between Spirit and Earth Ethereal Realm was a major one compared to the realms before it.
However, it didn\'t stop there as the pure ethereal energy was still flowing from Yuria and spinning around his ethereal core.
*Bang!*
And within moments, his ethereal cultivation jumped into the Second Level of the Earth Ethereal Realm without any signs of slowing down the flow of the pure ethereal energy coming from Yuria.
Damien couldn\'t help but think how Yuria was doing this since this wasn\'t her augmenting his ethereal core for no reason but permanent cultivation breakthroughs.
He could also sense his elemental seeds becoming stronger and powerful, especially his lightning seed, which began to grow slightly bigger and wilder as lightning streaks began to dance over it.
*Bang!*
After another minute or so, his ethereal cultivation entered the Third Level of the Earth Ethereal Realm while the others were stupefied by what was going on.
The little king and Shin couldn\'t exactly track Damien\'s cultivation since they were weaker than him, but they could sense how his aura was becoming heavier and denser, which only showed that his cultivation was rapidly increasing, leaving them quite dumbfounded wondering how this was happening since they had never seen or heard about anything like this.
It was a dream of every cultivator to rapidly raise their cultivation without side effects, but it still remained a dream since the common knowledge was that no one should rush through their cultivation but take time and steadily increase it.
This was why there was a high demand for pills or treasures that could fasten the increase of one\'s cultivation without any side effects to the point that cultivators were willing to kill for it.
By now, the influx of pure ethereal energy from Yuria was slowing down, and Damien could sense how its amount was also lessening but still strengthening his ethereal core by revolving around it.
And within the next minute…
*Bang!*
The flow of pure ethereal energy from Yuria ceased right after his cultivation jumped into the Fourth Level of the Earth Ethereal Realm.
Valentina smiled happily, seeing that Damien\'s aura had increased drastically within such a short time, making her feel proud as well since her man was way stronger than before.
\'Five levels of increase within just a couple of minutes? Phew...I never saw this coming…\' Damien inwardly shook his head in astonishment though he immediately opened his eyes and checked on Yuria\'s condition only to be relieved to see that she was alright and even Ai was resting peacefully on the bed.
By her expression, it seemed that the important moment had passed, and she was able to go through it without any problems.
"It\'s done…" Yuria said with a soft smile as she opened her eyes and looked at Damien, not letting go of his hand. She got up and looked at the little king and said, "She is tired right now. So don\'t be worried if she is asleep for a while. She did really great and didn\'t panic at all. You can check on her now."
"Thank you so much, Princess Yuria!" The little king and Shin smiled happily, seeing that everything worked out well in the end, and immediately sat beside Ai as they again made sure that Ai was perfectly alright.
"We will be outside just in case," Damien said to the little king as he nodded back with a smile.
Damien pulled Yuria along Yuria as he walked outside and asked with a puzzled expression as Valentina also joined them, "What the heck did you just do? My cultivation...it rose by five levels!"
"So did mine…" Yuria said with a proud smirk as she released her ethereal aura, making Damien and Valentina astonished to see that her aura was way more powerful than before, making Valentina mumble, "Your cultivation is now at the Fifth Level of the Sky Ethereal Realm? How?? I really want to know," Valentina asked curiously since all she saw was Yuria trying to treat Ai.
Damien chimed in, "Yes...All you did was try and separate Ai\'s ethereal cores right. How did we end up benefiting in the end?"
Damien also thought that Luna probably knew this would happen though he eagerly waited for Yuria to explain it herself.
