Chapter 1071 Raging Sun
Although many fruit laws had been nurtured, Leon\'s strength as a cultivator in the Early-stage Truth Manifestation Realm didn\'t necessarily increase.
However, depending on how many law fruits he used, it might just be possible for him to produce attack power well above his level.
Nevertheless, it didn\'t change that Leon couldn\'t grasp how powerful he had become exactly after reaching the early stage of the Truth Manifestation Realm and manifesting fifteen law fruits.
\'If I use the all-encompassing properties of darkness to fuse multiple law powers, the force I can produce will be unfathomably powerful. I should test my ability when I get the chance,\' Leon mused.
Suddenly, Leon was disturbed by the outside world, forcing him to leave the Black Vortex Space and check what was happening.
At that moment, the intense sunlight from the sun became even more intense as a thicker sea of Wrathful Demon Energy descended from the sky.
Leon\'s figure was immediately bathed in the sea of Wrathful Demon Energy.
However, he didn\'t show the slightest concern regarding its potential harm. In fact, he welcomed the influx of Wrathful Demon Energy, albeit with surprise and questions regarding the cause.
The wave of Wrathful Demon Energy rushed into his Black Vortex Space and headed straight for the Truth Manifestation Tree of Darkness.
But before it could reach the Truth Manifestation Tree of Darkness, the wave of Wrathful Demon Energy was first refined by the Black Vortex protecting it.
The Black Vortex acted like a filter layer, purifying everything before they were allowed passage to the Truth Manifestation Tree of Darkness.
Leon had noticed that after aligning the Black Vortex, Truth Manifestation Tree of Darkness, and his soul core together, his speed of absorption had increased by a notch.
As soon as the Wrathful Demon Energy was refined by the Black Vortex, it was devoured by the roots of the Truth Manifestation Tree of Darkness.
Just like that, Leon received a continuous stream of dark energy, solar energy, and comprehension fragments of the Wrath Law to grow his Darkness Fruit, Solar Fruit, and Wrath Fruit.
Even his Truth Manifestation Tree of Darkness gradually grew to 1600 feet.
He didn\'t need to do anything like move the refined energy to its designated targets. He just needed to draw the Wrathful Demon Energy into his Black Vortex Space, and the rest of the work would be done for him.
No extra effort was required on his end.
His Black Vortex, Truth Manifestation Tree of Darkness, and soul had been arranged in an alignment that maximized his efficiency.
Nevertheless, after the first influx of Wrathful Demon Energy, a second and third influx came. Then a fourth and a fifth.
The influx of Wrathful Demon Energy arrived in set intervals.
The sun pulsated with waves after waves of Wrathful Demon Energy like it was raging, and Leon vaguely felt like he understood the why.
Empyrean Allheaven Wrath\'s soul fragment was most likely furious.
After all, the Wrathful Demon Energy contained slivers of his will. Technically, Leon was devouring a tiny part of Empyrean Allheaven Wrath\'s consciousness each time he refined and absorbed the Wrath Law\'s comprehension fragments.
Perhaps he could steal away Empyrean Allheaven Wrath\'s eternal state if he continued his effort.
\'Although the black clouds protect everyone on the Dark Abyss Continent from the harmful sunlight, everyone else living under the sun will continue to suffer…\' Leon frowned.
\'I can\'t continue antagonizing the sun,\' Leon decided to stop devouring the Wrathful Demon Energy.
Although he could achieve swift improvement, it was not his style to cultivate at the expense of everyone else.
Shortly after Leon stopped cultivating, he patched up the black clouds and returned to the surface, landing near the central part of Gran Crevasse.
"Congratulations on your successful breakthrough in cultivation, my Lord!" Nightingale, Rainshine, Cindertails, and the others in the Golden Suanni Clan all welcomed Leon\'s return.
Although they didn\'t understand what kind of breakthrough Leon had achieved, they could sense some changes in his aura. It was filled with authority and pressure.
Even Divine Beast-level Golden Suannis like Dawnchaser felt some pressure from his aura.
Nevertheless, after Leon acknowledged their greetings, he said, "Since I finished my cultivation, I will perform blood refinement for everyone as promised."
"Yes, my Lord!" everyone\'s eyes immediately lit up. The Lord\'s blood refinement was always something to look forward to.
…
After a whole day of blood refinement quickly flew by, the number of Divine Beasts in the Golden Suanni Clan increased to ten.
Furthermore, several more dozens of Peak Paragon-level Golden Suannis also awakened their bloodline ability.
Besides the Golden Suanni Clan, Leon also performed blood refinement on Nightingale and Rainshine.
However, neither of them experience any significant breakthroughs.
After Leon finished his blood refinement, he collected some Divine Beast-level True Dragon Origin Blood from Nightingale and Divine Beast-level Suanni Lion Origin Blood from the Dawnchaser and the other Divine Beast-level Golden Suannis to cultivate.
This allowed Leon to advance to the Early Rank 6 Body Transformation Realm in the bone-forging phase and Mid Rank 10 Body Transformation Realm in the viscera-consolidating phase.
Furthermore, Leon extracted some blood essence from the black ants and giant centipedes in his Worldspace to improve his Everlasting Blood Mantra\'s Fourth Stage of Regrowth by another two types of unique origin blood.
At that point, he had accumulated a total of 1838 types of origin blood, barely one-fifth of the way to mastering the Fourth Stage of Regrowth.
Nevertheless, after finishing the last bit of cultivation and stabilizing his foundation, it was time for Leon to visit the western tribes.
He had been in the western jungle for long enough—or perhaps, even too long.
"Rainshine, Nightingale, it\'s time for us to leave."
"Yes, my Lord!"
"Yes, Master!"
After Leon summoned them, Nightingale and Rainshine quickly answered.
"My Lord, can we follow you too?" Cindertail and Goldenstride requested while the rest of the Golden Suanni Clan looked reluctant for Leon to leave.
"Un, you both may," Leon nodded.
