After his discussion with Lyra, Lex realized that he needed to get stronger immediately.
He was shocked to find out about the existence of the other celestial kingdoms, even though they were all under him, they were all also being ruled by deities. But if these deities realized that the Supreme Deity they knew was gone, and the new deity couldn't even fend off a primal Khaos, then their problems could suddenly triple. For now, they were going to start with low scale cases, fending off against factions who were constituting nuisance and endangering the Citizens Of Heaven.
Lex closed his eyes and look a deep breath, he was going to practice the breathing technique, he had gotten a hang of how cultivation worked, and now, he was going to focus on his breathing technique. Lex drew in a deep breath, allowing his ribs to feel the excitement of working with pure, Divine elements. Clearly, this wasn't oxygen, oxygen could never match this.
Lex really couldn't believe that this was heaven. It was so not what the humans had thought it was. If the Supreme Dauty was going though an this, then how would he even hear prayas not to talk of answering them?
It seems that Heaven is just the name of another kingdom."
Lex reached deep within himself, working with strange knowledge that he had never learned. Slowly but Steadily, Lex began breathing. Yes, he could feel it, this wasn't oxygen. As be breathe in the Divine essence, Lex felt his senses sharpening and his body strengthening. He never knew the results would come this fast. Well, maybe it was because he just started and he was still so far
behind, or it was because he was a human. The human body was affiliated with any element, and that was why it was affiliated with all elements. Maybe he would come back to normal pace later.
Just like when Lex first started his cultivation, another announcement filtered into his mind.
You have begun treading the paths of the Auric Eternity Breathing Technique.
Then same as before, unfamiliar knowledge started seeping into his mind.
Auric Eternity Breathing Mechanics:
1. Foundation:
The breathing style focuses on drawing in auric energy—the essence of life and creation—from the environment. Practitioners align their breath with the eternal rhythm of the cosmos, tapping into the flow of celestial energy.
2. Stages:
Stage 1: Spark of Eternity
The wielder learns to sense and draw auric particles into his body, strengthening his physical and spiritual foundation. This stage enhances stamina, resilience, and basic aura manipulation.
Stage 2: Auric Ripple
By synchronizing his breath with the world's subtle pulses, the wielder gains heightened awareness and the ability to manipulate small bursts of energy for offense and defense.
Stage 3: Celestial Flow
The wielder masters the art of channeling auric energy seamlessly, increasing his combat prowess. His strikes are imbued with celestial light, and his movements become faster and more fluid.
Stage 4: Eternal Veil
This stage allows the wielder to create protective shields of auric energy, warding off physical and spiritual attacks. It also begins to unlock his ability to regenerate and heal faster.
Stage 5: Radiance Ascendant
At this level, the wielder's aura becomes visible, glowing faintly with a golden hue. He can wield auric constructs (weapons, shields) and release energy blasts infused with divine light.
Stage 6: Transcendent Aura
One's breathing fully aligns with the cosmos, granting him immense power. He can manipulate the battlefield with celestial energy and even bend the laws of nature temporarily.
Stage 7: Eternal Sovereign
The final stage unlocks unparalleled mastery over auric energy. The wielder can create entire domains of celestial power, suppress enemies, and commune directly with the fabric of creation.
3. Techniques :
Auric Blade: Releases a concentrated slash of energy that can cut through most defenses.
Golden Pulse: Emits a shockwave of auric energy to knock back enemies.
Heaven's Embrace: Forms a healing barrier around allies and enhances one's own regeneration.
Auric Bind: Encases an opponent in chains of light, immobilizing them temporarily.
Lex nodded happily, he was going to bcome just that powerful. No wonder that deity had been the supreme deity, wielding such powers would definitely make him untouchable in the universe. However, even the deity had reached a bottleneck and had stopped, else, defeating these hell hounds would have been a piece of cake for him.
One thing Lex was yet to know was that the moment the other deities realized the powers he wielded in such a fragile body, they would come after him. They were going to steal his powers.
Lex didn't know when he was to set off with Lyra, he had told her to come back tomorrow, but of course tomorrow didn't exist in this place.
Lex grimaced a little, suddenly feeling an irresistible urge to save this world. He knew it wasn't his, but if this world collapsed, then his world wouldn't stand either. The celestials would surely troop down to earth, inhabiting it.
Again, the balance of the world was being held in place by the celestial realm, and if it ever collapsed, his world was sure to collapse too. Space and time would cease to exist, and the fabric of reality would simply break away. He definitely couldn't let that happen.
They were currently in war, the celestial warriors fight hard to save their kingdom and realm, the outskirts of the kingdom was already falling, their territories already falling, they couldn't let these hell hounds get to the heart of their kingdoms where the people resided. And while at it, they had to quell every internal threat too.
"It seemed like democracy was practiced in heaven too."
