The Rise Of Calamity

"Divine beings surely do like to make a spectacle when breaking through," A voice said before letting out an audible sigh.

Countless upon countless specks of light all radiating 9 different colors had begun to move towards the mountain by shooting past the forests and vortexing near the top of the mountain, being absorbed into a single figure clad in a golden aura.

That same figure had its golden hair fluttering in the wind while rocks from the mountain began to be uprooted out of it and shot towards the sky due to the power behind the turbulence and wind pressures that came with these elemental specks of light.

I was finally breaking through.

"To think she would have been able to unlock all these elements before even reaching the age of 9... Truly impressive, especially since she is not from the God race.

Slowly opening my eyes, my eyes finally landed upon two holographic screens in front of me. My eyes slightly widened when reading its contents while my blood began to pump heavily as if my whole body was getting a craving for me to go outside and pick a fight with the first person I see.

I quickly controlled my emotions before looking around at the room that was now barely able to recover as the white energy that was once fixing the cracks had become extremely dim.

'I only spent almost 2 days in here, but I should be fine if I don't overdo it with the cultivation. I'll have like an hour or so though, so I should start quickly' Nodding, I quickly closed my eyes and got back into the same sitting position I was in.

I was planning on leaving my state of cultivation after an hour or so, but something happened that made me completely forget about the time outside my mind and body.

'I'm about to break through' My shut eyes widened a little before a creepy smile stretched across my face from ear to ear.

I soon forgot about the time limit I had put on myself and fully focused on breaking through, not realizing that 2 weeks would go past without me even opening my eyes once. I would slowly take breaths in and out, surges of different elemental particles shooting towards me, into my mouth, and being redistributed throughout my entire body, but mainly my veins and arteries.

At the same time, I could feel that after the energy that enters my body turns into divine mana, sometimes some of the divine mana breaks off, and before turning into a combination of two elements, like magma or lighting, before shooting through all my cells, filling them with the element's energy, reinforcing them and making them stronger.

Even though this was something that has happened before constantly, this time the energy felt much more direct and efficient as if it had a job to do and it was doing it correctly.

However, alongside that, I could feel my divine energy doing the same thing by filling those same cells with the divine energy. This reminded me of how I would infuse my lightning with divine energy, creating divine lighting.

Within the 2 weeks that I had kept my cultivating without rest, I had realized that once again, I would need 5 times more mana than the normal person due to me having to combine all 5 elements into divine mana. The only thing that I found weird was the fact that I did not have to combine darkness into all the elements, but I just guessed that I would only need one of the two special elements to make divine mana.

While yes, it would have been faster I was in a place rich will all the elements, like a forest or a mountain, my breakthrough would have happened at a much faster rate, but since I could not do that now, I simply focused on cultivating rather than the commotion that me stealing all the elemental energies and ambient mana in the area had caused.

It was only 12 days later that I felt that I had the breakthrough within my grips, forcing myself to push past my limits and breakthrough...

*BOOM*

***

On top of the mountain, I sat there in a lotus position, swallowing all the ambient mana and elemental energies in the area like a blackhole.

'Truly amazing' The figure next to me could not help but widen his eyes at the spectacular display of mana absorption.

Compared to before where I would be absorbing energy at a normal pace, at least for me, now the mana was simply entering my body as if I had become a bottomless hole that could absorb all the energies in the world without batting an eye.

On my side, however, my mind had become completely blank, the only thing working within it is the command to absorb more and more mana and elemental particles, no matter what.

At the same time, my Flare of Perpetuity was absorbing tons upon tons of soul energy, whether that would be the soul energy of recently buried individuals or the soul energy of plants, trees, and even weak animals nearby. All of it was being absorbed into my soul flame before being set aflame, coursed through my soul channels to be filtered before being sent back to the soul flame and burnt and purified into nothing but divine soul energy.

Unbeknownst to me, the clouds, winds, and skies were all reacting to my breakthrough. The clouds had begun to circulate me as if I was the eye of a hurricane, while mana and elemental particles that had come towards me circulated like a tornado and reached the skies.

The winds within a dozen miles had begun to become violent, while animals and beasts under the Liquidus rank all looked in my direction and ran as if their life depended on it.

Those in the Solidus rank, which were very few in this forest, began to move in my direction as they knew that the aftermath of my breakthrough would be very beneficial to their cultivation as they could absorb any of the remaining energies in the area if not even absorbing some of the energy that would explode out of me after the breakthrough.

Slowly, I had begun to float mid-air without even realizing it, but even then, the winds and clouds did not react at all to my change in location.

After around 5 minutes, beasts of the peak liquidus stage and above had surrounded the mountain, watching me as I slowly ascended towards the skies with agape expressions as it was something that they did not expect to see in their lifetimes.

The breakthrough of a divine being was something that they would only hear in fairytales, so seeing it would have been life-changing in many ways.

"It is magnificent..." One could not help but explain.

"Who do you think is breaking through?" another asked.

"You think I would know a divine being? If I did, I wouldn't be among you filthy lower beasts." Another scoffed.

"Me? Lower beasts? Have you become mad after looking at the magnificent display that we are watching? Now you think you are better than us just because you are watching a divine being breakthrough? Are you stupid?" A wind wolf growled towards another.
