Reincarnated as a Mosquito, I Sucked the Reborn Empress to Tears

Chapter 254: Chapter 254: Over 100 Star Source Crystal Cores, Realm Power Explodes

Gu Yuexi’s guess was correct.

This type of Spiritual Restriction was indeed set by the Hell Gate Sect Leader. Every core assassin from Hell Gate had one implanted in them.

It was to prevent their souls from being searched and the core secrets of Hell Gate from being leaked.

Hell Gate, aside from being an assassination platform, also trained its own core assassins. Ghost was one of them.

Inside the secret chamber.

Gu Yuexi’s expression changed in alarm. This Spiritual Restriction was extremely powerful and devious. Even she had nearly fallen for it despite reacting immediately!

She let out a muffled grunt. Her Mental Power surged, instantly crushing the black snake.

But the backlash from the restriction’s detonation still sent a piercing pain and a wave of dizziness through her mind.

At the same time.

Ghost, who had been on the verge of death, had his soul completely torn apart the moment the restriction was triggered.

His body slumped to the ground, silent and still.

Silence returned to the secret chamber.

Gu Yuexi slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air and wiped away the trace of blood that had trickled from the corner of her mouth due to the backlash.

Though her face was a little pale, her eyes grew even colder.

“The Hell Gate Sect Leader, hmm?”

“I didn’t settle the score with you in my last life. In this one, I will settle everything between us… both new grudges and old.”

…

Hong Kong Island University, Beast Taming Academy.

A new statue had appeared at the entrance of the Beast Taming Academy.

It was a colossal, cool-looking mosquito clad in jet-black Battle Armor.

The Divine Mosquito Statue!

Indeed, if there was one place on Hong Kong Island where the worship of Chu Sheng was most extreme and pure, it would have to be the Beast Taming Academy at Hong Kong Island University.

Chu Sheng had practically become a symbol of faith for the Hong Kong University Beast Taming Academy.

Not only was there a Divine Mosquito Statue at the entrance, but in front of the academy’s Martial Arts Hall, there was also a giant Divine Mantis Statue. It was carved in the likeness of the New Cockroach Warrior, commemorating Chu Sheng’s deeds of staying at the Beast Taming Academy and fighting on its behalf under the identity of a Divine Locust!

At the same time.

The academy’s dean also announced that a permanent territory had been designated within the Simulation Ecological Zone, belonging to Chu Sheng forever. Regardless of whether Chu Sheng was present, no person or Contracted Beast was permitted to enter without authorization.

So, was Chu Sheng there right now?

He was!

And he was busy.

Busy with what?

Absorbing Star Source Crystal Cores, of course!

Chu Sheng had no interest in interrogating Ghost, so he had returned to his small, underground secret chamber at the Beast Taming Academy.

At this moment, the small secret chamber was piled high with colorful Star Source Crystal Cores. Each Crystal Core contained a type of Realm Power, nurtured and differentiated from the world’s Origin!

And all Chu Sheng had to do was start absorbing!

He rubbed his forelimbs together and picked up a “Fire Spirit Pearl”—a Star Source Crystal Core containing the Fire Realm. Then, he plunged his Soul-devouring Demon Spike into the semi-corporeal Realm Aura on its surface!

[Ding! A large amount of Fire Realm (Perfection Level) has been detected. Absorbing…]

[Ding! Fire Realm Comprehension +500. Current Fire Realm: Great Success (2500/5000)]

’Awesome!’

’Another one!’

Chu Sheng searched for a moment and found another scorching hot Crystal Core glowing with red light, then started absorbing again.

[Ding! A large amount of Fire Realm (Perfection Level) has been detected. Absorbing…]

[Ding! Fire Realm Comprehension +400. Current Fire Realm Comprehension: 2900/5000]

’Huh?’

’Why wasn’t it five hundred? It dropped to four hundred?’

Chu Sheng absorbed another one and found it was different again—four hundred and fifty this time.

’So, each Crystal Core contains a different amount of Realm Power. Some have a lot, some have a little. Some are at the Perfection Level, while others are only at the Great Success Level.’

’It seems the ones with full, bright auras give about four to five hundred points, while the ones with dim light only give one or two hundred, maybe even less.’

’Oh well, it doesn’t matter. With this many, it’s definitely enough!’

Chu Sheng found several more “Fire Spirit Pearls” in a row and began to absorb them. After a short while…

[Ding! Fire Realm Comprehension +450. Current Fire Realm Comprehension: 5100/8000]

[Fire Realm, Perfection!]

’Perfection already?’

’Keep going!’

[Ding…]

[DING DING DING DING DING…]

And so, Chu Sheng put his head down and began a frenzied session of absorbing and powering up!

[Ding! Fire Realm Comprehension +150. Current Fire Realm Comprehension: 8200/10000]

Fire Realm, Great Perfection!

’Holy crap, Great Perfection already!’

’This is awesome!’

From the beginning until now, Chu Sheng had specifically picked out and absorbed Star Source Crystal Cores of the same Realm. The most he got from one was 520 points, and the least was 100. After absorbing a total of 28 Fire Realm Crystal Cores, he had finally brute-forced his Fire Realm all the way to Great Perfection!

’Let me see, are there any more Crystal Cores with the Fire Realm?’

Chu Sheng rummaged around and actually found a few more!

’Damn!’

’Let’s go for it and see if I can push it straight to the Origin Realm!’

[Ding! Fire Realm Comprehension +300. Current Fire Realm Comprehension: 8600/10000]

[Ding…]

[Ding! Fire Realm Comprehension +550. Current Fire Realm Comprehension: 9450/10000]

9450!

’Only 550 to go!’

Unfortunately, Chu Sheng only had one Fire Realm Crystal Core left!

’Crap, don’t tell me it’s not enough! The most I got from one before was only 520.’

’Whatever, I’ll absorb it first and see what happens.’

’Give me a boost!’

Chu Sheng shoved the Soul-devouring Demon Spike in with all his might, wishing he could pierce through the crystal wall, and began to absorb fiercely.

[Ding! Fire Realm Comprehension +550. Current Fire Realm Comprehension: 10000/100000]

!!!

’Holy crap, it worked! A critical success!’

’Exactly 10,000!’

[Fire Realm has reached the Origin Realm!]

[Ding! Congratulations, Host. Your Fire Realm has touched a trace of Origin. All Fire Attribute Skills have been significantly enhanced.]

[Your current cultivation level is too low to unlock the corresponding ability of the Fire Origin, the Fire Domain. Please raise your level as soon as possible.]

’What the hell? What does that mean?’

’Does this mean that after my Fire Realm reached the Origin level, I should have been able to unlock the Fire Domain, but I can’t use it because my cultivation level is too low?’

’That makes sense, I guess.’

’Power of Origin! Generally, one has to reach the King Realm to comprehend and use it.’

’And I’m only at the damn Fourth-Grade right now. The gap is way too big.’

The only reason I was able to touch a trace of the Fire Origin was by pure brute force, just by maxing out the numbers.

’The Fire Domain, an Endless Fire Domain… just thinking about it is so cool! What a shame!’

“System, what level do I need to be to unlock this Domain?”

[Ding! At minimum, you can preliminarily unlock the Domain’s abilities in the Middle-Grade Realm.]

’Sweet!’

’The Middle-Grade Realm is all it takes?’

’Domain abilities are usually reserved for the King-level Realm. If I can unlock it at the Middle-Grade Realm, even just a preliminary version, that’s still ridiculously awesome!’

…

He had finished absorbing the Fire Realm Crystal Cores, but there were still over a hundred other Crystal Cores left.

’Let’s keep going!’

Chu Sheng picked out the most numerous type of Crystal Core remaining: Gold Realm Crystal Cores.

Unfortunately, there weren’t as many as the Fire Crystal Cores, and each one contained less Realm Power. In the end, Chu Sheng only managed to push his Gold Realm to the Great Perfection Realm.

[Current Gold Realm Comprehension: 8600/10000]

’Still, that’s enough!’

Right now, he had two Realms at the Great Perfection Realm, which met the Realm requirements for his next full evolution!

The remaining Realm Crystal Cores were a mixed bag and not concentrated in any one type.

For example, there were a dozen or so with the Water Realm, a dozen with the Thunder Realm, and a few with the Wood Realm… Besides the Five Elements Realms, there were also some Realms Chu Sheng had never comprehended before. For instance, there were even two Crystal Cores for the Life Realm, which Gu Yuexi had used previously.

Finally, Chu Sheng even discovered an amber-colored Star Source Crystal Core that emanated a seven-colored light.

’Huh?’

’What kind of Realm is in this one? And why is this Crystal Core so much smaller than the others?’

The others were like large pearls, but this one was only the size of a glass marble, which was why he hadn’t noticed it before.

Although it was small, Chu Sheng sensed a hint of profoundness from this Crystal Core.

’Let’s try absorbing it!’

Chu Sheng slowly brought his Soul-devouring Demon Spike closer, only to find his movements getting slower and slower!

The Crystal Core, which he should have been able to poke in an instant, now felt as if he could never reach it in a lifetime…

’What’s going on?’

’I refuse to believe it!’

Chu Sheng was now locked in a struggle with the Crystal Core. No matter how slow he became, he wouldn’t give up!

Just like that, inch by inch, bit by bit, Chu Sheng’s Soul-devouring Demon Spike finally made gentle contact with the seven-colored Crystal Core.

[Ding.]

The moment he heard the system’s notification, all of Chu Sheng’s densely packed compound eyes widened at once!

’This is…’

[Time Origin (extremely small amount) detected…]
