After a couple of minutes Kana started to show so signs of breaking through, just like previously, wind started gathering around her as more spirit energy floated towards her body.
The mix of green wind, the red particles of spirit energy and the dim purple light that was covering her body, created a pretty spectacle of light in the right side of the backyard.
Even Camila was taking her ti to absorb spirit energy, because she wanted to see Kana breaking through, an Earth Origin who could use its attribute was never saw before after all.
Once the little purple marble was completely absorbed by her, the wind and the spirit energy which surrounded her was suddenly drawn at the area below her navel, making Sarina smile.
"She did it".
Aster walked towards Kana and patted her head, now that she ford her star core, she needed to consolidate it, her base was solid enough to not suffer a lose in battle prowess, but if she took so ti to fully integrate the remaining excess of yin energy left behind by the little marble, she'll have an easy ti reaching the middle stage, so Aster told her to do it.
"Mm", Kana softly nodded, if Aster suggested it, then she was sure it was sothing good for her.
"Mom did you find a secluded place in this planet?", he asked while he kept stroking Kana's smooth hair.
While Camila was preparing for her advance, Lilia was looking for an open space for her to break through without affecting anyone.
"I did, it's a faraway mountain, I didn't find any sign of anyone approaching and there aren't spirit beasts near also, so it's perfect darling".
Camila had already absorbed enough spirit energy and had about two or three centiters left of the ball of tal mixed with Aster's blood remaining, to refine, so it was ti for them to leave.
Lilia waved her hand and besides Sarina who stayed to watch on Kana, the others disappeared.
At the neighboring palace, Felicia and Tiana suddenly noticed the change in the sky dissipating and they frowned.
"Did she fail her advance?", asked Tiana to her mother.
Felicia thought about it for a second before Lilia's image appeared in her mind.
"No, Aster's mother is probable a Void Manipulation cultivator, and if that's the case, they should have gone to a place where that woman can advance without affecting anyone, I guess we'll have to wait for tomorrow to see the result…".
Felicia couldn't finish her sentence when not only they, but the whole people at the different places of the planet, suddenly turned to see the sky, the iconic red tone changed to a silverish color making everyone think there was a heavenly treasure being born or sothing along the lines.
And they weren't exactly wrong, a few seconds ago:
Lilia brought everyone but Sarina and Kana to a faraway place in the Red Heart planet, the landscape was a barren land crowned by a mountain, even the spirit energy was really thin compared to the place where the Barbarian Heart sect was located.
Aster noticed Camila was reaching her breaking point so he and the girls took so distance to not affect her during her tribulation, Eris took the east, Mylene the west, Lilia south and Aster and Aria and Alice floated on the north.
Like this in case it was needed they could contain the outburst of spirit energy that might appear once she breaks trough.
Camila floated in the middle of them, with every second that passed the sky got more and more clouded as she approached her tribulation.
According to Lilia every tribulation was different, so people smoothly advanced without causing any waves, others were attacked by lightning or other manifestation of the heavenly law in a physical form, others caused a phenonon in the sky without suffering any kind of suppression and the last type was a ntal tribulation.
But that wasn't all, sotis more than one of those situations happened at the sa ti, Sarina for example caused a change in the sky of the planet and was also ntally attacked, and judging by Camila's frowned expression that seed to be her case too.
'Where am I?', thought Camila as she looked at the gray vastness that surrounded her.
"Mm?", she looked downwards after noticing her foot was stepping onto an irregular surface, her pupils then contracted like needles as she saw a dismbered arm and other pieces of bones and flesh.
Only then she noticed there was a bunch of dead bodies laying around the whole place, the ground was completely stained in blood, while she still felt uncomfortable it wasn't enough to frighten her, this place was basically a battlefield.
Just as she was about to try and convince herself this was just an illusion, the lights dimd even more which made her turn to see the sky.
"Is that… a hand?", she mumbled, the figure of an ink black hand with spiky nails, which covered the sky falling downwards was the only thing she could see, then an incredible pressure fell making her feel as if she was suffocating, the seconds seed to be like hours and with each one her vision blurred until a gentle pat on her shoulder made her get back to her senses.
The world regained its color, even the gray vast sky which was blackened due to the incomnsurable hand which was still coming down, was suddenly illuminated, silver particles of light raised from the ground, the landscape and even the dead bodies and everything gathered in a figure which was now standing in front of her.
Camila tried to raise her eyes to see who was protecting her, but she couldn't, the only thing she could do was lay there powerless until all the silver light gathered forming a silver sun, which's light was sharp but at the sa ti warm.
Only then she managed to raise her head a bit just enough to see a smile in the figure which was standing in front of her, she saw its lips moving but couldn't hear what it said.
Then a loud explosion made her go deaf, the figure beca a shooting star and clashed against the black hand, the skies rumbled and the nearby celestial bodies were instantly turned into dust, everything but the piece of ground where she was laying down, was swept away by the explosion, leaving behind a crack in the space.
Camila stood up, she felt her heart heavy for so reason, but couldn't do anything about it, or at least that's what she thought until she noticed a silver flash coming out of the space crack, which landed right next to her.
A silver spear with so worn out rusty parts, she felt her heart beating faster and then without a second of hesitation grabbed it and pointed the tip at the sky, she felt as if her life was abandoning her body but didn't let go of it until she saw the space crack nding itself, only then her eyes closed and although she fell agony, there was also a sensation of accomplishnt filling her heart.
Then the scene ended and was replaced by a giant silver wolf, Camila raised her guard even if she felt that it was futile, but the wolf didn't move and instead opened its mouth making Camila hear an old voice directly in her mind.
"Little child, what have you decided, are you willing to fight and strive for glory, or do you wish to live in peace?".
Camila looked at her reflect in the eyes of the giant wolf, she sohow could see although her eyes were covered by bandages, she was wearing a worn-out white dress and had chains on her neck, arms and legs, there were tal spikes which aid at her heart and other vital organs surrounding her, only her mouth was free.
"I will Fight!", her answer echoed through the whole place, the wolf then beca a silver light which entered her body and all the shackles that were binding her exploded.
Camila opened her eyes in the real world, she looked at the sky which had turned silver and saw the image of a silver wolf howling above her, before a silver pillar of spirit energy fell from the sky to baptize her.
"Watch out!", Aster, Eris, Mylene and Lilia all extended her hands forming a barrier around Camila, but apparently it wasn't necessary as instead of expanding, the pillar condensed until it took the shape of a silver spear with so golden spots here and there.
Aster raised an eyebrow noticing his blood was integrated in the thing, that shouldn't be the case as Camila only absorbed the properties of the treasures and not the materials from them, but as he was about to ask her, the spear entered her body and she fell from the sky.
Lilia waved her hand and Camila's unconscious body landed on a soft mass of spirit energy, she was then dragged towards Aster and the others, after making sure she was only sleeping Aster then focused his attention on the surrounding area.
"Sarina was the sa, does every Mortal Transcending leave an area rich with its elent after breaking through?", asked Aster as he saw the now completely tallic area of about five kiloters.
Lilia giggled as she "carelessly" threw Camila towards her son, making Aster catch her in a hurry.
"Mom, what if I didn't catch her?", said Aster as he carried Camila like a princess.
Lilia shrugged as she created a crack in the space to take everyone back at the Barbarian Heart sect, the sky had also returned to its normal red tone after the spear disappeared.
"Not every Mortal Transcending cultivator can do that, only those whose spirit energy reach a certain state can do it… the people of these stellar systems doesn't have the ans to, but back at the Drage family's main planet, the most outstanding mber of each generation is allowed to break through in the family's sacred ground where those who preceded them did it, the last one was and I left a sea of black flas which covered the space of a whole planet behind, just for when it's your turn darling~".
Aster bitterly smiled, knowing his mother she should have done sothing to prevent anyone but him, to enter that place unless she allowed it, which was now added to the list of troubles he'll have to deal with once they get back.
'Whatever, it's not like I was expecting a warm welco anyway', he thought as they disappeared from the mountain, oblivious to the ruckus that their actions caused in the whole planet.
