Only I Am A Reader

\'This makes more sense.\'

If anyone could transform the nature of their Internal Energy to that of \'Demon Sealing\' then rather than a newbie like Yeon, someone like the Absolute Spear would have been far more fit to become the new Heavenly Demon.

\'I\'m not a protagonist after all.\'

Attempting something impossible for normal people only to find that it actually worked out for some mysterious reason was something exclusive to the main character\'s enjoyment.

In reality, Leo only got his hopes up because his perception gave him a false sense of grand expectations.

That being said, he was still delighted to see that Yeon\'s transformation was successful so far. At the very least, it didn\'t seem like his involvement had made her path to power deviate from its decided course.

Besides…

\'I did get exactly what I wanted.\'

Even though the sense of disappointment lingered in Leo\'s mind by the premature end of his transformation, something else was willing inside him.

The fusion of energy particles quickly came to stop after slightly altering his energy signature, but his Internal Energy\'s excited movement was far from over.

That\'s right, the familiar phenomenon that Leo was currently experiencing was none other than the start of a breakthrough!

A faraway goal like personally becoming the Heavenly Demon was nonsense, but the digestion of the foreign energy was enough to make up for whatever his recent accumulation lacked.

He could now forcefully breakthrough the ceiling and jump to the next stage!

He didn\'t suddenly receive an epiphany to become overpowered since the novel was close to its end, nor did he suddenly get an unrivaled backer that could vanquish all of his worries like protagonists usually did. However…

Leo was now making his way to a stage that only a select few in the world had managed to achieve despite spending less than a dozen years in this world!

Most importantly, he had made sure to do all he could to earn the spot that he had now!

It was undeniable that he had cheated by knowing the events of the novel, the character he had become was also a favorable one, but Leo didn\'t undermine what he had done. If anything, he was proud of himself.

This wasn\'t just him being arrogant, he somehow felt what fulfillment was like, a sentiment that rarely visited him. At this point, it could be said that he did everything that he could, reaching the limit he could achieve in this limited time frame.

\'It isn\'t the true peak, but…\'

When it came to most Murim-centered novels, the peak of Martial Arts were none other than Life and Death Martial Artists, also known as Divine Masters. However, in Murim Supremacy, Martial Artists of this level never made an appearance even in the very last chapter.

It was unknown whether the author\'s pacing had just gotten out of hand, or if he had no plan to conform to the common rules in these kinds of novels, but those who stood at the peak were Profound Martial Artists, possessing prowess that is one level behind Divine Masters.

Whether it was the former Heavenly Demon, the figure that stood as the pillar of the Evil Faction in the past, or even the Murim Lord himself, none of them had managed to pierce through the ceiling to the next level. Pointing out the limit of Martial Artists within this particular Murim…

Even then, reaching the Profound level in itself was quite rare. There were a few illustrious figures that held that much power in the olden time, but it could be said that they have all disappeared now with the death of the Heavenly Demon.

\'Otherwise, Geochin\'s plans would never come to fruition.\'

Using the excuse of inevitable death from old age and lack of true competition, the author basically cleaned up the stage for the protagonist to do his bidding after using the recent event to rid the world of its last behemoth.

Despite being a Transcendent Martial Artist, Geochin\'s cheat advantage made it easy for him to face the actual figureheads at the Unrestrained level, but thankfully… That was the stage that Leo was currently ascending to!

Fake peak or not, it didn\'t matter to Leo who was calmly resonating with the revolution of energy within his body. As long as nothing went wrong with his breakthrough, he would have the level of ability needed to complete his main quest, even if it was against the max-level protagonist!

As a beginner Unrestrained, he wouldn\'t be the brightest addition to the Heavenly Strength Society\'s team, but any gap could be bridged with the right move as long as it wasn\'t an entire level\'s worth, that was only something the main character could do!

\'Indeed, we can do this… Together.\'

Not so much different from him, Yeon\'s transformation didn\'t end with her new attribute acquisition, her energy was also revolving around her body in the same rhythm as Leo\'s. They were quickly approaching the ceiling!

Cr…crack!

Having given away all of its reserves, the Demon Lord\'s core exploded, cracking down into fine sand-like particles as it woke Leo and Yeon up from their resonating trance.

However, their reaction to it was only momentary. The energy and comprehension that they needed were already absorbed by them, all they needed was to wait for the ascension process to reach its end!

As an evolution to one of the final stages of life, the revolution of energy seemed to last much longer compared to their very last breakthrough, but even then, everything had to come to an end.

Tick… Tick…

Following the decrease in revolution speed, both Leo and Yeon\'s Dantians gave out weak sounds as they surrendered to the quality and quantity that their Internal Energy had risen to.

Just as their breakthrough was being finalized, their Dantian Expansion process was already coming to a start, continuing the cycle to push them beyond the mere entry level of their new stage…

In that fashion, the turbulent world of Murim welcomed the birth of a new addition to its top powerhouse list!
