BXBX NOVEL Chapter 524 - Drastic Change
Not even the surrounding air was able to persist, and everyone including Jason and his three soulbonds were suffocating on the scarcity of air.
It was only when Jason\'s Celestia aura erupted, manifesting a small pillar of golden-silverish light that oxygen was able to make its way, tearing through the streams to reach the four.
The seemingly small golden-silverish pillar shot through the sky, as it expanded at a terrifying pace and soared upwards reaching the height of several hundred meters. The entire mana inside his surroundings was drawn towards them.
If Jason had been able to open his eyes, he would have felt as if he had been imprisoned, which was the exact same thought his soulbonds would have.
Fortunately, this was not the case, and everyone could only feel the distinct divine aura that had been annexed by Jason. It was ready to be devoured by each of the four, in addition to the terrifically high amount of mana..
He was unsure of the amount of mana in his proximity, but the divine aura had already more than enough to persist for a very long time.
Yet, instead of feeling overwhelmed about not being able to grasp the opportunity, Jason smiled with his eyes closed.
"I think it\'s time to accelerate our cultivation progress!!"
His stigma that hadn\'t been fully released before was activated, increasing Jason\'s mana absorption, circulation, and liquefaction speed.
At the same time, his three soulbonds stigmas had also been activated, turning into four brightly glowing stigmas.
They were amplifying and increasing the capabilities of each other.
Making use of the divine aura they had savored, the stigmas had become much stronger than before as well.
This allowed Jason to reach a mana absorption rate he never had before, while the same applied to Artemis and Solaris.
Jason had already fully recuperated from the injuries he had sustained two weeks earlier.
Due to that, his mana veins didn\'t obstruct the mana that surged through them even the slightest.
His entire body shouldn\'t have many impurities since he had already undergone a total of two baptisms owing to Solaris, further increasing his mana absorption speed compared to others!
Time passed slowly and Jason absorbed the surrounding mana and divine aura greedily.
He didn\'t even realise when he had entered the fully concentrated state, or that the overflowing mana in his surroundings was slowly decreasing as he liquefied one drop of mana after another.
**
Three months passed and Jason finally turned 18 as he opened his golden-silverish eyes that glimmered brightly.
The golden-silverish pillar had already dissipated, and taking a look around he noticed that the amount of mana in his surroundings had entered a normal range.
There was no sight of the world bridge that made Jason sighed in relief.
Suddenly he noticed that his entire body was enveloped by his old skin and a black reeking mass.
While cultivating and absorbing the divine aura, his body had released a large amount of impurities.
This was extremely great and Jason was satisfied, despite being astonished about the sheer mass of impurities
Turning towards his soulbonds, he noticed that not much seemed to have changed about Solaris\'s appearance.
It was still the same origin flame as before, and only its abilities had changed.
Because of that, the Solaris\' strength had increased once again.
Meanwhile, Petri\'s appearance hadn\'t changed much either. It was only that his demeanor and aura had become deadlier as if one had to be careful to not look into his eyes, for the fear that something bad might happen.
This was exactly the case, and Jason could only tell this because he sensed the changes in his eyes!
Not only was he sure that his emperor eyes were able to see certain emotions in the form of colored hues around other people, but also that he didn\'t even have to activate his emperor eyes in order to petrify others!
On one hand, this could be helpful, but on the other hand, Jason knew that he would have to find a way to deactivate this ability!
Otherwise, he might as well be attacked by others, solely for looking at them.
Though this situation looked outright ridiculous, it seemed highly feasible.
Other than the petrification curse, the race specific weakening curse seemed to have received an enhancement too.
Jason was not sure how much stronger it was because he was not utilizing the curse right now, but his gut feeling told him that he could weaken others drastically!
Artemis seemed to have changed the most.
Not only did the number of liquefied drops of mana in her mana core increase to a total of 1500, but something else about her seemed to have changed too.
Before, only one horn had been enveloped by his stigma, but now both of her horns were wrapped around with the golden-silverish stigma.
However, even weirder to Jason was that Artemis\' plumage seemed to take over a tinge of a silver color, while the same happened to her sky-blue eyes.
\'Will she evolve again? Her behavior is a little bit off…\'
He was not sure why he was feeling like this, but somehow, it felt like she would evolve soon!
Her ice affinity had increased tremendously after the enhancement, while the same applied to the amount of mana that had intertwined with her blood.
Nevertheless, the biggest enhancement Jason had obtained was through his own terrifically high mana absorption and rapid liquefaction process.
From the initial quantity of almost 160 drops of mana inside his mana core, three months had been enough to increase the number of highly compressed liquefied drops of mana to 834!
Throughout these three months, Jason had liquefied seven to eight drops of highly compressed mana diligently, every single day.
Every drop of mana liquified by him had been worth three common drops of mana, which meant that he had the capabilities to create a total of two dozen liquefied drops of mana in a single day!
Jason\'s physical strength had been enhanced substantially and the size of his mana core had enlarged as well.
All in all, Jason had become extremely strong.
Even without the use of any affinity, he was confident of fighting opponents at the peak 5th Lique stage.
This was three ranks higher than his rank three months ago, and enough to shock everyone.
By utilizing his affinities, and every other means, which included his curses and Emperor Eyes\' abilities, even those at the 6th or 7th Lique stage would have issues fighting against him.
And that was without him breaking out of the limiter his body had naturally formed to prevent himself from breaking apart!
Jason had only once released this limiter, and that was to kill the murderer of his masters!
He didn\'t know how he could actively release the limiter because it had been a subconscious act of his body the first time, but Jason was just hoping that he would never have to make use of it ever again!
Right now, Jason was only short of one thing for his body to be at its peak.
Jason had to refine his body!
He was still at the starting steps of the Netherworld\'s fort body refinement technique\'s first stage, and his physical body refinement with mana was barely equivalent to 31 drops of mana.
Somehow, Jason felt that this was useless!
Once he was able to use primordial energy, he could refine his body with a proper body refinement technique.
This might seem out of the ordinary, but Jason was confident to achieve it in the future.
A part of him belonged to the Celestia race after all!
Other than that, he felt like the human race was not as shallow as it might seem sometimes.
They were insignificant, but there was still a mystery due to the soul world.
What made Jason the most suspicious was the reason for some humans\' ability to awaken two different soul worlds, but not a third which would be correlated to the three existing cultivation paths and energies!
While he was organizing his thoughts about that, he didn\'t even realise the uproar he had caused during the last three months.
This not only involved Canir, but the entire planet.
Everyone had been able to see the gigantic golden-silverish pillar he had instinctively erected that seemed to touch the sky.
Yet, instead of daring to take a look at what was going on, everybody had been afraid of Jason\'s Celestia aura that had prevented any living being from approaching them.
With this he had accidentally set the ball rolling, allowing the first encounter of the federation of immigrated races and the human race!
