Chapter 1584 The Gnome''s Breakthrough (Part One)


    "Alright," Austin finally relented, sighing. "I''ll give you everything you want."


    Since the gnome was a huge help to him, Austin would satisfy all his demands. He supposed it was the


    least he could do to repay the gnome for all the assistance he was giving.


    Suddenly, with a stirring in the air, the gnome materialized in the emptynd.


    He stretched out his paws, suspending them in the air as though he was preparing for something to


    He then waved them and sent out a gentle energy. Over three hundred spatio-temporal crystals


    wrapped by the energy flew away from Austin''s side and surrounded the gnome.


    "I''m going to practice for the breakthrough," said the gnome to Austin, "so please guard me as I do so."


    As he looked right into Austin''s eyes, his gaze was full of determination. The gnome knew perfectly well


    that he really should achieve the breakthrough this time. With the spatio-temporal crystal, he knew he


    could do it.


    At his words, Austin nodded his head and stepped aside. He then fled away, immediately appearing in


    an empty clearing off the wood, protecting the gnome from afar.


    Of course, he had to leave enough space for the gnome to practice, as the breakthrough had to be


    done in apletely quiet environment.


    For a while, the wood waspletely silent. Not a single sound could be heard, and it was so quiet


    that one could hear even a pin drop.


    Then, all of a sudden, the wood began to stir—the trees waved and rolled as a powerful force began to


    emerge from within. Like an unseen dragon, it coursed through the wood so strongly that all the nearby


    rocks and hills began to quake.


    The dramatic movement made the air whirl, creating storms of sand and rocks. Overhead, the sky


    darkened as though night had fallen.


    The wood roared desperately like this for approximately two hours, After a long while, it began to ease


    and finally regain its former peace once more.


    "Did the gnome seed in his practice?" Austin wondered aloud as he watched the wood settle back


    into a peaceful atmosphere. "Ahh, I can''t wait much longer for the result!"


    The wood was far too quiet now. It was only natural that it would be a cause of concern for him.


    All of a sudden, Austin heard a strange noise.


    Without any warning, the space behind him rippled, producing an extremely mild noise.


    The sound didn''tst very long—at the very next moment, it intensified into a thundering noise as a


    huge beast shadow suddenly appeared out of nowhere.


    Fortunately, Austin had been trained in spatial power, so he was able to sense the change in the space


    behind him as soon as it happened.


    "Gnome!" he eximed.


    "You achieved the breakthrough, didn''t you?"


    The excitement was apparent on his face as he looked at the gigantic beast in front of him.


    The said beast, which was currently suspending himself in the air, was over ten meters high, while his


    tail was a couple of meters long and resembled a huge saw of iron and steel. An enormous amount of


    pure demonic aura seethed and rolled around him to form thick clouds, which only added to the


    mystery of the scene.


    Silver scales as huge as a human palm covered the beast''s entire body, glistening and emitting thick


    rays of demonic aura from its crevices without stopping. To top it all off, a pair of brown horns rested


    atop the beast''s head. He resembled so much like a creature from the ancient times.


    This was what the gnome had looked like originally. It was a sight that wasn''t unfamiliar to Austin, who


    had seen this image of the gnome before.


    This time, however, Austin could sense a dramatic difference in the gnome. He now seemed much


    more powerful than before, and it was evident that his current demonic aura was much more forceful


    than it used to be.


    In addition, the gnome''s body even caused the space around it to shake with ceaseless ripples,


    producing waves of violent spatial power without any end.


    "Indeed. I seeded in achieving the breakthrough with the help of the spatio-temporal crystals,"


    said the gnome to Austin, a smile on his face. Despite his massive, intimidating size, the smile was a


    gentle one, and Austin could see and feel the sincerity of it.


    "That''s great," said Austin, smiling in return. "How much of your blood power was awakened this time?"


    The gnome right before him looked so mighty and forceful, he couldn''t help but want to know the real


    force of his blood power.


    After all, both the gnome and Violet were beasts from ancient times. That meant their practice systems


    were quite different from those of humans and other ordinary diabolic beasts.


    Before an ancient beast could start refining their martial arts, they first had to awaken the blood power


    in their bodies.


    They wouldn''t be able to make any progress in practice until they managed to do sopletely, so


    naturally, the awakening of the blood power was the first step to initiate real practice.

    Violet and the gnome had been doing precisely that, trying their very best to awaken all the blood


    power within them as soon as possible.


    "This breakthrough definitely came as a surprise," said the gnome, looking down at his hands as he


    spoke.


    "I managed to awaken about seventy percent of my blood power in this practice in a direct way to the


    current high level.


    It has saved me too much energy.


    I think my current demonic power is equal to that of a human warrior at the Emperor Realm level.


    In a real fight, though, I think I can defeat even a human warrior at the medium stage of Emperor


    Realm with no difficulty.


    As for warriors at the premium stage of Emperor Realm... Well, I can at least fight for several rounds if I


    try my best.


    I can use spatial power very well, after all. So it''s impossible for ordinary warriors to kill me." As he


    finished his exnation, an ted expression appeared on the gnome''s face.


    He definitely seemed quite confident in his strength now.


    "What?!" eximed Austin, his eyes widening in surprise. "You''ve gained so much power after one


    breakthrough... That''s amazing!"


    He was so startled at the gnome''s words that he couldn''t help the way he reacted.


    It had gonepletely beyond all his expectations that the gnome was able to improve his power to


    the level equal to a human warrior at the preliminary stage of Emperor Realm with just one


    breakthrough.
