The Strongest Conquest System

Chapter 8: Quantum Qi Condensation And... A Being?

In a pitch-black space located inside a pocket dimension on the top of a large red star countless light years away from The Young Prince, there existed a monster...

A creature so terrifying that it looked like something straight out of an H.P. Lovecraft story.

It was a monster with thousands of tentacles that stretched on for untold distances in every direction imaginable!

"........"

And the 'Monster' lay motionless, almost as if it had been there in that position for more years than the Earth had existed for.

However, all that suddenly changed when it felt something—something like a signal that indicated change.

Something that had never happened in the many years it had stood motionless in that very spot...

Something different...

Following its noticing of the 'signal', the Monster opened its eyes—eyes so large that they dwarfed many small stars out there...

Eyes so terrifying that it was almost like they stared directly into the very fabric of the universe.

An aged static-like voice came out from the terrifying monster as it spoke in such a way that any lesser existence that heard its voice would die without even knowing what happened.

"WHaT ChAnGEd?"

"BaLAnCe BRokEN..."

"WhY?..."

"I SeE..."

The terrifying Monster spoke in a very cryptic way, a way that made it sound like the Monster knew the answers to its questions as soon as it asked them.

"WhAT SHouLd WE Do ABoUt ThIS?"

"SO IT ShaLL bE..."

After the enormous monster said its piece, it closed its star-sized eyes and fell back into its deep slumber, not caring about the passing of time.

*******

Deep within the Great Wildlands Forest, a young, handsome boy who looked to be 12–13 years old was knocked out cold on top of a large mountain of rubble.

"...Why does this keep happening to me??" The young prince asked as he woke straight up, like a sword stabbed into the ground.

"I really need to stop waking up like this, huh?" He asked himself with a small smile on his face as he scanned through the changes in his body.

"I finally did it! It took almost 2 years of doing nothing but cultivating for 23 hours a day in extreme pain with merely an hour left over to sleep, but this breakthrough made all of that suffering worth it." The Young prince consoled himself with a creepy smile on his face that said he really believed in what he was telling himself.

"The Divine Devil Arts Scripture said that the Qi condensation realm was where one started to condense qi cyclones inside your dantian space after you finished a full refinement cycle in the Body Refinement Realm and the number of cyclones you had dictated what realm you had achieved in the Qi Condensation Realm like so," he began with a pause before he continued, "Qi Condensation Realm: 1 fully formed qi cyclone = Qi Condensation 1st Stage; 2 fully formed Qi cyclone = Qi Condensation 2nd Stage, and so on for a total of 9 minor realms in the Qi Condensation Realm." He ended with a contemplative expression.

"But what is this crazy nonsense I'm seeing right now...?"

The Young Prince had a baffled look on his divine face as he was looking at the space inside his dantian.

-------

Cultivators who practiced the Divine Devil Arts needed to be Divine Geniuses themselves so almost every single one of them refined every part of their body 10 times over, which allowed them to open up the Heavenly Gate.

Furthermore, cultivators who went through 10 refinement cycles during the Body Refinement Realm acquired a unique privilege when they advanced into the Qi Condensation Realm, and that was that every single one of them gained 10 Qi cyclones for every minor realm they advanced in the Qi Condensation Realm.

Nonetheless, something even more unique was happening right before the Young Prince's Divine Sense scan of the area around his Dantian.

"Why are there so many?? Didn't I just break through to the Qi Condensation Realm? Why am I seeing hundreds of qi cyclones within my dantian space right now?!?" The Young Prince was as confused as could be over what he was looking at.

The Divine Devil Arts Scripture clearly stated that it was impossible to gain more than 10 Qi cyclones per minor realm advanced in the Qi Condensation Realm, but the Young Prince was looking at exactly 1000 Qi cyclones, with each one being exactly 1 inch in diameter!

What he was viewing was something that had never been seen in the World of Asterion and would never be seen again until the end of time!

"1000 Qi Cyclones..." The young prince mumbled. "1000 fucking Qi Cyclones!! The power I feel them providing me is insane! I have countless times more energy than before, but just how much stronger am I than before, I wonder??" He inquired with a curious look on his face.

"I can only feel how much raw power I have gained; whether I can properly put all that power to use is something that needs to be tested on the field."

Following the young prince's analysis of his situation, his expression brightened before he said, "So let's get right to that then!!"

The Young Prince, while lost in his excitement, completely overlooked the fact that the Divine Devil Arts said you couldn't go past 10 Qi cyclones for each minor realm advanced in the Qi Condensation Realm, and yet he had a thousand!

What a convenient mind the young prince had to have to ignore such a piece of information...

*******

The Young Prince started walking in a random direction, aiming to find something to use as target practice, when suddenly something familiar that he thought he had already learned how to control happened to him yet again.

WHOOSH! BOOOOOOM!

"What The Fuck!?!?"

The Young Prince's scream was heard as he took one step forward and flew straight ahead like a rocket!

BOOOOOOOM!

Ultimately, he destroyed all the trees in a straight line for tens of thousands of meters until he hit a large mountain with a loud explosion following the impact!

The mountain now had a 30-meter-wide crater in the side of it that looked as if a small meteor had made an impact on the mountain.

"The sense of deja vu I have been getting lately is becoming a little out of hand, haha..." The Young Prince spoke with confusion apparent on his divine features as he laughed with an awkward look on his face.

"Well, at least I know that my speed and durability have increased a crap ton from this experience, but, regardless, I still need to find something to test my strength on," he said with a pondering expression before his eyes caught sight of a particular object.

"Well, since this mountain decided to hit me in the face, I think I'll test my power out on it," he began with a mildly sinister smile before he nodded his head and said, "Yep, that sounds good!"

However, it looked like he was the only one enjoying himself, as a certain mountain was going through a flurry of different emotions.

'WHAT Did I DO TO YOU?!?!? You Came Flying At Me, You Damn Monster!!' The Mountain was practically crying tears of blood at the Outrageous statements that the human Monster was making.

******

The Young Prince took a few hours to learn how to control his speed again.

When he was able to fully control how fast he was moving without destroying more of the natural topography of the forest and mountains, he got into a punching stance as he stared down the mountain as if it were his worst enemy.

"Stay still for me now, Mr. Mountain; I wouldn't want to miss my strike!" He commanded with a slight sh*t-eating grin plastered on his face.

'FUCK YOU! Where do you think I can go!? Just get it over with, you Crazy Bastard!!'

The Mountain just wanted to get this over with; it was tired of dealing with this demon in human skin who kept on accusing it of hitting him whenever the Little Monster flew into it.

Following the 'compliance' of the mountain, Azmond reeled back his arm before he shouted, "Alrighty!! Here We Gooo!!"

The Young Prince followed up the reeling of his arm with the yanking of his shoulder as he threw a whistling punch toward the poor mountain with all the strength he had in his body!

And the result of such an attack was catastrophic...

WSSSTTT! BAAANNGG!

A loud cacophany of whistles, followed by a loud bang, and the damage done to the mountain was...

The mountain was missing—well, everything...

Which went to say that It was no longer there...

Everything in a 10-mile straight line aimed downwards of the punch was decimated, with that entire section of the forest looking like a large meteor fell out of the sky and made an impact where the mountain once stood.

"Well, that was a little overdramatic, Mr. Mountain. You don't have to play dead with me! Look what you did! You even made me miss my strike!" Azmond's playful voice came out with the pointing of his finger.

And what he was pointing at was none other the damage that he caused to the Low-Level area he resided in.

"I was aiming for you and the forest behind you, not you and the ground underneath you!" He began with a helpless look on his face before he continued, "Now there's a big crater here, and it's your fault, Mr. Mountain."

"........"

Every shameless word this little monster spoke made the Mountain roll over in its grave!

If it wasn't a pile of rock and stone, then it swears it would send a large boulder down on top of that little monster's head!

"Whatever, stay dead." The young prince spoke with a disgruntled expression before he turned his head away and snorted, "You were no fun anyway."

He played around for a few more moments before his train of thought was focused on something far more important.

'Anyways, I never did figure out a name for this new realm of mine, huh?' The young prince thought with a pensive look. 'The Divine Devil Arts Scripture said that cultivators who broke through to Qi Condensation with 10 Refinement Cycles and gained access to their very own Heavenly Gate were called 'Heavenly Qi Condensation cultivators'.'

He thought over the matter for a second before he said, "Since I broke through with 1000 Qi Refinement Cycles completed, what does that make me?"

"...Hmm..." The young prince brooded over the subject before he figured out what he had to do.

Furthermore, 'What he had to do' just so happened to be naming his new 'Realm Talent Gap'!

"I am not very good with names, but since the inside of my dantian space kind of looks like a large assortment of stars, then maybe I should call it something like..." He paused for a second before he shouted, "The Quantum Qi Condensation Realm!"

After hearing the name of his new realm, he mumbled, "It has a nice ring to it, and even if I don't like it later on down the line, it's only temporary until I find someone else who has broken through with 1000 refinement cycles before me." He reassured himself with a slight nod before he turned his head up to the sky and said, "So it's decided! I have officially broken through into The Quantum Qi Condensation Realm—the second step on my journey to gaining power above all else!"
