The Last Paragon in the Apocalypse Chapter 1451 1451: Rapidly Leveling Up

<You have absorbed a large amount of blood essence>

<Supreme Qi has been discovered in the blood essence you have absorbed>

<Divine Qi has been discovered in the blood essence you have absorbed>

<Immortal Qi has been discovered in the blood essence you have absorbed>

<Your body is too weak to absorb these energies>

<Error...Error...Error...Error...Error...Error>

"""""AAAAAGGHHHHH"""""

Agonizing screams burst from Klaus and his four clones, plunging the onlookers into a stunned hush of terror before they all fled in panic.

"What's going on?"

Klaus's flesh began to bulge, fissures splitting across his visage as blood oozed from the ruptures.

His four clones suffered the identical torment. Each gripped their skulls, drool streaming from their mouths while they wailed in utter despair.

It was clear the agony was so intense that even Klaus, with his remarkable endurance for suffering, writhed uncontrollably.

Queenie and her siblings attempted to dash toward him, but King Alric blocked their path. "Calm down, ladies. He's just ingested the blood essence of a deity who endured for millions of years; some torment is inevitable."

"But—"

"He'll make it through," Queen Leah interjected. "Even if it doesn't seem so, that blood essence holds traces of Supreme Qi. That must be what's causing the suffering."

They exhaled in relief; yet as Klaus gripped his head and howled, their anxiety surged anew.

Meanwhile, Goddess Nivara remained seated in front of Klaus, her fist tightly balled. Her cultivation had plummeted to the Awakened level, rendering her essentially mortal.

All her former power had vanished.

In truth, amid witnessing Klaus's ordeal, she overlooked the lines of text materializing before her eyes. Had she noticed, she would have identified them as the awakening interface.

Yet this version wasn't preset; it prompted her to choose a class and elemental affinities.

It felt like she had disrupted the very system governing awakener statuses.

Still, such matters held no urgency for her now. Her grandson, the source of this chaos, was suffering, and she yearned to aid him.

Reduced to mortality, her options were limited. Nevertheless, as a mother, despite two worthless offspring, she had nurtured one into a valiant fighter. Thus, her maternal instincts endured.

Observing her grandson's torment, she extended her hand to clasp his, offering a soft squeeze. Though mortal now, her form retained divine refinement. That tempered grasp conveyed to Klaus, surging comforting currents through him.

This reassured him that he faced it not alone.

Still, his cries persisted for several more hours until they abruptly ceased. Then, fresh text flickered into his view.

<The Nine Paragon Star Diagram has activated.>

<All nine paragon stars are in sync.>

<The Nine Paragon Star Diagram is trying to convert the Supreme Qi.>

<Failure...Failure...Failure...Failure...Failure...Failure>

<The Nine Paragon Star Diagram is trying to convert the Divine Qi.>

<The Nine Paragon Star Diagram has successfully converted a part of the Divine Qi into Star Qi>

<10,000,000,000 Star Qi absorbed>

<10,000,000,000 Star Qi absorbed>

<10,000,000,000 Star Qi absorbed>

<You have leveled up>

<You have leveled up>

<You have leveled up>

<The Nine Paragon Star Diagram is trying to convert the Immortal Qi.>

<The Nine Paragon Star Diagram has successfully converted a part of the Immortal Qi into Star Qi>

<10,000,000,000 Star Qi absorbed>

<10,000,000,000 Star Qi absorbed>

<You have leveled up>

<You have leveled up>

<You have leveled up>

A sly grin tugged at Klaus's mouth's edge. This warmed his grandmother's heart as well. Her grandson seemed safe now. Yet she kept holding his hand, patiently awaiting his completion.

Though lacking the perception to gauge his surging power, she sensed a monumental transformation unfolding within him.

Indeed, those attuned to the changes witnessed Klaus attaining the pinnacle of Early Immortal stage, with his four clones advancing to Real Immortal.

Yet as moments ticked by, the level-ups continued, thrusting them into higher realms.

The scant Divine Qi lingering in Goddess Nivara's blood essence proved ample to fuel multiple ascensions for five immortals.

The Nine Paragon Star Diagram required time to engage fully. Once it did, the outcome matched Klaus's anticipations precisely.

His cultivation technique was none other than the Nine Paragon Star Art.

This intricate cultivation method operates on star mapping and coordination principles. Each star within his soul aligns perfectly with the paragon stars, delivering the exact thrust required to rise above the rest.

He had been practicing this technique for ages, achieving massive breakthroughs at every single stage.

The very same method enabled him to convert his spiritual Qi into Star Qi. At the start, only the first three stars were usable. Surprisingly, the star diagrams connect directly to the Nine Doors in his soul sea.

During the time when just three doors were unlocked, access was limited to the initial three forms of the Nine Paragon Star Diagram.

Yet now, everything has shifted dramatically.

With all nine doors fully opened, he harnesses the strength of every one of the nine nodes in the diagram. This power allows him to purify Divine Qi, transforming it into Star Qi.

Immortal Qi follows the exact same pattern, surpassing even the Divine Qi in volume. Although she lost her god core, stripping away most of her divine essence, her Immortal Qi remained untouched.

Thus, even as he reaped greater benefits from her Divine Qi, the Immortal Qi held its own without any shortfall.

In truth, having now ascended to the Real Immortal stage himself—with no end in sight to the essence available for absorption—the Immortal Qi he took in this time far exceeded his wildest expectations.

The lone issue at present involved the glitches occurring as the Nine Paragon Star Diagram attempted to process the Supreme Qi.

It seemed like a crucial piece was absent.

Divine Qi and Immortal Qi refined without a hitch. Still, Supreme Qi resisted fiercely. He attempted it multiple times, yet the errors persisted relentlessly.

This realization hit him: perhaps he hadn't reached the required level to handle Supreme essence yet.

'Damn it.'

An inner sigh escaped him as he prepared to yield to destiny, only for a profound stirring to erupt deep in his soul.

Within his soul sea, that green light he'd tried—and failed—to awaken just yesterday remained enigmatic and shapeless, but it now began to stir to life.

From the outside, Klaus remained clueless about its identity or origin.

However, he grasped its capabilities perfectly, thanks to the lines of text materializing before his eyes.

<Your ????? have partially awakened.>

<Your ????? sense a strand of Supreme Qi in your blood and is trying to refine it.>

<Your ????? have started refining and converting the Supreme Qi>

<100,000,000,000 Star Qi absorbed>

<100,000,000,000 Star Qi absorbed>

<100,000,000,000 Star Qi absorbed>

<Congratulations, your P1 body is now a True Immortal.>
