ken smiled when he reached the location where the fruit tree was underground. his right hand covered with golden green light armor and he suddenly slashed at the ground.
others might think that it was a pointless action as his hand didnt even touch the ground but magically out of nowhere a space crack in shape of 2 meters circle appeared and ken jumped into it . he vanished and the space crack closed . everything went to normal like he had never even appeared there before .
instantly a space crack appeared in the cave which was a few meters in height and ken landed on his feet with no sound . his landing was perfect now and light . he looked at his right side and smiled because a small thin tree was standing upright and two mysterious fruits were hanging on two branches at it's two sides . near was a muddy white pond and hot steam was constantly being emitted on the surface which told the high temperature .
ken didnt waste any time and followed the clean line which separted the two blue and dark colors. he raised his hand and cut the fruit following the line . surprisingly there was no resistance and immediately the now separted blue part of the fruit landed on Ken's hand which was under the now red coloured fruit which had a clean cut under .
ken had followed the right method so he was no surprised with the smooth process . suddenly the red fruit started glowing and red small light particles were emitting from its body . ken knew that the fire element was leaving as it had no where to transfer now because before the small particles were being absorbed into the blue part . ken plucked the red fruit and buried it into the soft surface .
this would ensure that the fire element doesn't escape and a new small tree will grow again after few thousand years . ken followed the same process with other fruit and after burying the other one too , he immediately ate the fruits in two bites .
ken sat cross legged on the ground and endured the too much burning sensation for a few seconds but it vanished afterwards and nothing was burnt . it was because the pure fruit dissolved and the essence which was pure too was quickly absorbed by ken as he was circulating his devouring dragon art the whole time .
ken went into deep mediation and the art circulated automatically while the dark blue essence was changing his cells after being absorbed . the hot sensation was much stronger than before but surprisingly it was not uncomfortable and rather soothing .
ken sat there alone for 6 whole hours but his face had a faint smile the whole time . well of course it was because he was feeling his realm rising at much faster rate. the fruit contained the energy of a tier 5 herb which was great so this time ken broke through the earth realm despite his huge capacity .
if a normal cultivator ate the fruits the right way like ken , he would need months to absorb the energy and would reach more than early heaven realm easily. but ken was still too strong for those cultivators anyway.
ken finally opened his eyes when the rise in his cultivation stopped and settled at early 2nd level of earth realm . ken grinned when he saw that his inner world was much bigger now . its size was was too big and at least 10 biggest mansions would fit inside it easily but the space will remain at least 2/3 empty .
instead of mansions of course there was his golden and green qi but it was liquid and filled more than half of the space . this was true qi after the qi particles condensed and formed a lake . ken wasn't done yet and he thought about his scales immediately. before even a second passed, dark grey scales covered his entire body from head to feet .
the scales on his feet and heat were only some cm long but the rest of the scales were even in size and a few inches long . they were pointy triangle shaped and very sharp like a weapon . Ken's forehead was covered but the rest of his face had not changed from before . he now totally looked like a dragon human warrior because even a 3 meters long and thick take was there at his back resting on the ground like a sleeping snake .
ken was happy because all his scales had grown now but was a little unhappy because he didnt like the tail . but anyway he forgot about it quickly as he remembered that his height now was more than 5 meters in length. this was because after he reached the earth realm now his body would grow everytime he advanced a realm and his scales would grow sharper and longer with it .
now he looked like a porcupine but after he had reached the heaven realm , his body would change and the scales on his front neck , face , upper body would be replaced by simple dark gray colour . so he was not dissatisfied with his slightly comical and odd figure now as he didnt plan to use this form in future anyway , of course except emergencies.
now he could feel magical sensation from the surroundings energy because he could feel the connection with heaven and earth now . the spiritual energy was now colorful and each colour was an element. ken now instinctly knew that his space travel was much stronger than before and he could use it easily without wasting much strenght .
ken thought and all the scales were absorbed back in his body and his now slightly pink skin was exposed . of course he was naked because he would be an idiot if he didnt remove his clothes before transforming into dragon form completely as they would be shred completely.
his normal height which was few centimeters tall since joining the sect returned back and he started putting his black robe on . of course his body would naturally grow too as he was just sixteen right now ....
