Yoze felt the inner vigor in his body quickly becoming a bigger and bigger flow as it seemed to have become like a gushing river. The strange feeling that this river was like a phantom completely weightless at one moment before becoming as heavy as an ocean became more pronounced.
He craved to see what he would weigh when he reached the peak. At this moment he had long surpassed the weight that the book had taken him. Just his body weight alone could have qualified him to contend with others who have reached the peak of the Big Golem cultivation method.
[Big Golem Cultivation (Level 5: 95%)]
There was no one Yoze could talk to about this experience as he only managed to accomplish it with the help of his cheat and his meeting the egg of a hatching demon. The seemingly unlimited supply of Mist of Life had allowed him to create a large amount of Inner Vigor. This huge amount of Inner Vigor allowed him to completely saturate his flesh and muscles.
This shouldn't have been possible as the Big Golem Cultivation manual stated that the process of breaking through from level 4 to level 5 allowed for a small percentage of Inner Vigor to enter the body. Creating more room to store more Inner Vigor, however, there was a clear limit to this method.
During a normal breakthrough, Inner Vigor isn't produced so every time a bit is absorbed into their flesh it is gone until that person starts training again. Eventually, this would lead to the person gaining 50 to 200 pounds at most before there was too little to continue the process.
Yoze instead broke that convention because while he was breaking through he continued to produce Inner Vigor at a rate faster than he lost. The process then continued until Yoze's body couldn't absorb anymore.
[Big Golem Cultivation (Level 5: 100%)]
Yoze stopped training his Big Golem Cultivation method because he reached its limit. He couldn't produce any more Inner Vigor and Yoze was satisfied with this outcome.
There was still some more Mist of Life circling the demon egg but it wasn't enough for the demon inside to break through to the Blood Master Realm. So Yoze just accepted the Mist of Life entering his body and tried to get used to his newfound strength.
It wasn't even an hour and Yoze had gone through a rebirth. With newfound strength and his body seemingly filled with endless energy, Yoze felt that if wasn't careful his foot would go through the floor.
So for the last ten minutes, Yoze focused on controlling his strength. While Jewel watched with her jaw on the floor.
She had just watched a magical event happen as she watched Yoze seem to through some transformation. If before Yoze just made her feel that he was strong then the current Yoze resembled more like a demon wearing the skin of a human.
"Yoze, are you alright?" Jewel was so terrified by the aura that Yoze was unconsciously omitting that she did not want to disturb his training.
Letting out a heavy sigh of relief, Yoze looked at Jewel and said, "I'm better than okay I'm doing fantastic."
"Thank God, but we really should find another cave to act as shelter from the rain before this demonic creature hatches."
Seeing that Yoze hadn't been possessed by the demon, Jewel let out a sigh of relief and reminded him that they were still in danger of demon hatching.
"I think it's too late for that,"
"Huh Why?" Jewel looked at Yoze with surprise before her eyes widened in fright as she saw cracks begin forming on the egg.
"Cracking Cracking"
The sounds of cracking eggs echoed throughout the cave as the surface eggshell revealed the dark scales of whatever creature was inside the egg. Meanwhile, Yoze watched as the last traces of the white mist entered the egg.
"..."
Suddenly the egg stopped shaking and the crack stopped expanding. For a second, Jewel thought that they might have been in the clear and that the creature inside the egg was dead.
"Boom!"
However, her dreams were tarnished as the egg that was half the height of an adult exploded. And before she could react Jewel saw that Yoze was holding a giant serpent demon by its tail just a few inches away from it clawing her head off.
"Whoosh! Boom!"
Holding the Serpent Demon with one hand, Yoze flicked the demon toward the cave wall causing a loud explosion to ring throughout the whole cave and causing a mini earthquake. The Serpent Demon's 10 feet long body became deeply embedded into the cave's wall.
Yoze waited to see if the Serpent Demon would return to launch a counterattack but found out that it had fallen into a coma and was seriously injured. There was no way the newly-born Serpent Demon could contend with Yoze who had used its own life spiritual energy to transform himself.
"I think I got him."
"..."
Jewel looked at the unconscious demon and was completely speechless at the events that had just gone down. The creature that spread fear to all humans was instantly knocked out by Yoze. The man that was bragging just a few hours ago about becoming a first-rate martial artist.
"That was just a really big snake, right? Not a demon." Unable to cope with the reality of the situation, Jewel asked Yoze whether or not she was just imagining that she saw a demon.
"Nope, this is the legendary demon that kills and eats innocent people like it's a snack and fights with immortals. Doesn't that make me as strong as an immortal?"
Unfortunately, for Jewel, Yoze liked seeing her speechless and didn't let her stay in her make-believe world dragging her back to reality.
Recovering from her shock Jewel looked at Yoze like she was seeing a monster and backed away to defend herself.
