The Last Paragon in the Apocalypse

Chapter 674 674: Klaus Meeting with Earthʼs Strongest (1)

”Thank you all for coming,” Klaus said, seated at the head of a large table surrounded by the 14 Grand Elders from the moon.

The 6 Overlords of Earth were also present, along with Kathy, Old Lu, Oheme, and Miriam. Klaus was seated between Queen Lunara and Queenie.

”You asked for us, so we are here, brat,” Old Lu said, lightening the mood in the room.

”Indeed. I have a few things to discuss with you all. But before that, I would like to ask a question, and depending on your answer, I will know where to start,” Klaus said, staring at the faces of everyone in the room.

”The question is simple. How many of you know about soul bodies?”

The question was indeed simple; however, only one of them had heard of such a term and actually knew something about it.

However, Old Lu didnʼt say anything, for he knew this was not the time for him to speak.

Of course, he would say something if Klaus asked him directly, but since he had already talked with him and they had come to an understanding, he simply sat there.

”I guess we will start from the basics, then,” Klaus said, taking a deep breath before he began to speak.

”By now, we all know the moment we awaken and can sense the spiritual qi in our veins; we have finally stepped onto the path of evolution.

Then we move to Ascended, Master, and then Grandmaster. These four stages are called the Qi sensing stage. Itʼs the first phase of evolution.

Then, in the next stage, we evolve further and form something we call a core. This is the second stage of evolution for us warriors in this apocalyptic world.

The first four stages are just for you to get acquainted with the spiritual qi inside you and in the air. After that, you form a core, and that will help you get much closer to the energies.

These energies are the elements we each have. Some of us have more than one, but all warriors have an elemental affinity.

However, from the Saint, Sage, and Great Sage stages, which are known as the Core formation stage, we go to the Sovereign stage, where the third stage of evolution begins.

Now, I donʼt want to pull your leg, but I would like to point out that all of you present here have made a fatal mistake that, if not fixed soon, your chances of going beyond the Void stage will be zero.”

The faces of everyone present changed into frowns and panic. The fact that they all just heard they can only rise one more stage seems to strike a panic cord in them.

”Kid, what nonsense are you spouting?” Grand Elder Nyselle asked.

”Itʼs not nonsense, Grand Elder. I am speaking the truth,” Klaus turned to Queen Lunara. ”My lady, what can you tell us about your experience after you became a Void stage expert?”

Queen Lunara smiled, ”Letʼs just say after I reached the 4th level, I got stuck.”

The frowns on their faces deepened upon hearing such a revelation. Klaus simply sighed.

He could tell from just looking at them how they were feeling. He knew he would have felt the same if he hadnʼt met his past self and started learning all about the journey of cultivation.

In truth, this would make anyone panicky, for this is something that wouldnʼt be revealed until the world awakens.

”Like I said, there is a third phase of evolution, and you all have been doing it the wrong way. Well, you didnʼt know, so it canʼt be termed as doing it wrongly. You didnʼt have the right processes to follow,” Klaus said.

”But I suppose you have a way to fix this, right? I mean, you wouldnʼt have called us here just to drop such daunting news on us,” one of the Grand Elders asked.

”Indeed. I have a way. I will teach you all by the end of this session. This will help you create soul-bodies. These soul-bodies will be like a spiritual version of you.

”What it basically does is help you increase your power output by many folds. It also helps you recover much faster, and to some extent, it can even come out to fight alongside you.

There are so many uses for a soul body, but for now, you all should know that until you form a soul body, the chances of increasing your strength are just at the basic level.” Klaus looked at Kathy and smiled.

”So, before you all ask, yes, I will give you the method for free.

After this session, you all will know the world we are living in is in danger, and the only way for us to win is to cheat—for which I will ensure you all become the biggest cheaters.”

Queenie, Kathy, and Old Lu smiled, knowing the brat meant every word he said.

”Then, with soul bodies, do we have what it takes to go further beyond the Void stage, or, in other words, what are our chances of breaking through the Void stage?

Donʼt get me wrong; you already said we wouldnʼt be able to reach the stages above that, but I cannot help but wonder, if that was the case, even after forming soul bodies, what are our chances?”

Overlord Dharma asked.

Klaus smiled, ”I have to admit, my previous statement was a little harsh. Above the Void stage is a stage called Chaos, and beyond that, we go to Ascension.

From what I know, that will be the last stage for forming Soul Bodies.

The reason I said you cannot break through the Void stage is that until you start forming your soul bodies, you cannot go beyond level 4 of the Void stage.

But the moment you start forming your soul-bodies, you can go as far as the Ascension stage. Then, the rest will depend on whether or not you can actually form the soul body and move beyond that stage, too.

So just see the Sovereign, Transcendent, Ascendent, Void, Chaos and Ascension stages as the Soul Body formation stage. You will have six stages to form a soul body.

If you fail to do so, then it means your potential is not high enough to rise beyond these six stages. But again, fear not, I am around, so we will handle that when we get there.”

”I see. Thanks for the clarification, Klaus. This means with the method you will be giving us, the chances of us going beyond the Void stage are guaranteed.”

”If you donʼt die, then yes,” Klaus laughed along with the Grand Elders and Overlords.

”Of course, with me here, you all can rest assured death is the last thing that will happen. When I am done with you all, death will be something you will never fear.”

Strangely, hearing the brat they all could have squashed like a bug just a year ago felt rather comforting. It felt like his words were what could bring them solace.

”Now, why donʼt we move on to the next agenda: the Bloodlines.”
