The moment Klaus absorbed the bodies of the monsters, his cultivation shot up from level 4 to level 8, Ascendant stage, leaving him only a step from becoming a Void stage warrior.
"This feels good, but I am still lacking. I must become a Void stage warrior before the awakening."
Klaus sighed before staring at everyone.
"Good job, everyone. Let's go back and celebrate this win."
They could only nod and then started to retreat to the mainland.
Klaus waited for all of them to move away before flying back to the cloud. He entered the spaceship and soon left the sea behind.
When he was gone, the lady who had visited the five overlords of the sea appeared again. She looked at the blood-soaked red, and a smile formed on her lips.
"It is almost time. Are you ready?" she muttered, looking into the distance where Klaus and his team had retreated.
She stayed behind for a couple of seconds before she vanished.
