Fion carefully observed the changes in his body, especially in the parts where the nucleolus paste were applied. The foreign bacteria were terrified of fion’s bacteria as he hoped before and a huge massacre followed. Fion’s different kinds of bacteria devoured the invader as he observed the battle in amazement.

The nucleolus from the paste were absorbed by some of his bacteria and started forming a chemical reaction. Literally the next moment, large number of mitogenes were formed and successfully assimilated into his cells.

He noticed that the size of the mitogenes produced was the same as that when vile beasts nuclei was used, he assumed that this has to be the highest possible quality of mitogenes a bacteria could produce. But one significant difference is that number of mitogenes produced per bacteria was many times higher than using vile nuclei.

It’s already been some minutes and nearly all of the nucleolus were successfully absorbed by the bacteria. Fion still sat on the tree branch withstanding the pain. He was lost in thought as he was trying hard to guess the reason for the sudden activation of the bacteria.

“Could it be …Hmmm… i know that when a condensation stage expert try to absorb the lore beasts nucleolus paste with his bacteria to produce elemental Qi, they have to fulfil certain requirements to initiate the process. For water elemental Qi, they had to be within a mist or under the water to successfully initiate the process, For earth they have to be covered in special volcanic ashes or eat certain pills made from special plants, Like wise for converting Yuan Qi into Fire elemental Yuan Qi, they had to bathe in sunlight for extended period of time ”

“ Damn …i overlooked this detail .. Even then, i had to sit for many hours to initiate the process normally but now … i only had been exposed to sunlight for some moments and this happened ” Fion was smiling as he thought of yet another miracle of his bacteria.

“But i am only forming mitogenes and i am not even at condensation realm, so why i also had to meet this criteria … huh ? ” Suddenly his thoughts were cut apart by another heaven defying phenomena.

He noticed that the bacteria which absorbed the lore beasts nucleolus was producing a different type of Yuan Qi. It absorbs the atmospheric Qi normally like any other bacteria but the generated Yuan Qi was fiery red and blazing in nature. He instantly figured that this was the Fire elemental Yuan Qi.

As soon as he realised this, his mind went blank as he opened his mouth wide and stood as motionless as a statue. All the previous miracles brought out by the bacteria was just an extreme enhancement in the path of cultivation. Taking the size of Mitogenes for example, only it’s size and quality were enhanced to the extreme level, still it is just a mitogene. Since the ancient times, only a condensation realm cultivator can use his bacteria to generate Elemental Qi, but the process which happened now is simply a new revolution in the cultivation process.

Neither it’s been heard of even in the legends nor the mere thought of this process where a mitogene cultivator can generate Elemental Qi arose in any one’s imagination.

Fion finally awoke when he realised that all of the nucleolus paste were successfully absorbed by the bacteria. He noticed that nearly 23% of all his cells formed mitogenes in them as he advanced from entry phase into early phase of the mitogene realm. From this, he inferred that a single lorn beast nuclei can be used to made mitogenes for about 10 % of his cells.

He also saw that there were still numerous kinds of bacteria, producing normal Yuan Qi and delighted upon the finding.

“Yahoo, i still have various kinds of bacteria, this means i can absorb nucleolus paste if different elemental lorn beasts and can generate different elemental Qi … Holy mother of bacterias … If so, …. then will i even have a decent opponent to battle in the future ” Fion made a dejected face.

If some one saw this, they would immediately vomit a mouthful of blood, since they could easily saw that fion was just acting as being sad. He couldn’t even contain the smile as it was revealing explicitly on his face.

This encounter made fion powerful beyond belief. He clenched his fists and felt the power of Yuan Qi stored in billions of mitogenes in his cells. With 23% of his cells formed mitogenes, he can now increase his control of his immense bacterial pool to 11% without overloading his cells. In comparison to his previous control limit of 8%, it is a substantial increase. Among these 11% of bacteria, nearly 2% were producing Fire elemental Qi.

One have to note that 2% of fion’s bacterial pool was about nearly 20 billion bacteria. Even if you take the most talented and powerful person in the history of the world, he should have some hundred millions in his body. If that person was at peak of condensation realm and all of his bacteria was producing Elemental Qi, the total amount should still be less than fion’s bacterial capacity now.

It’s only because bacterias themselves don’t have the capability to store Yuan Qi and the fact that it can be stored only in cells had somewhat prevent fion from being a freak. Still, with this insane amount of Yuan Qi regeneration, he can fill the mitogenes in his cells with Yuan Qi almost instantaneously when depleted.

But his nearly cheat like talented body doesn’t end with this, Each of his mitogene’s capacity was at least hundred times greater than that of the capacity of an average cultivator mitogene. On average, a human be it a normal human or a cultivator would have nearly 37 trillion cells in their body. Since fion converted 23% of his cells , there would be about 8 trillion cells having mitogenes in it. Now, multiplying this amount of cells with 100 which is the ratio of his mitogenes storage capacity compared to ordinary one, fion now has 800 trillion mitogenes capacity of normal cultivators.

Even if a peak mitogene expert converted nearly all of his cells to form mitogenes, it would only come around 37 trillion mitogenes. Comparing this number with the earlier analogy, one can conclude that fion would be at least 25 times more powerful than a peak mitogene expert.

“If i face the red eyed rhino now, i am confident that i can kill it without receiving any damage … haha .. to easily beat a mid phase lorn beast while being only at early mitogene realm, even i am jealous of myself … ” fion sung his own songs.

“Now let me test the power of my fire Qi” Like always, fion was much excited to test out his new powers. He spread out his right hand and closed his eyes as he concentrated on bringing out his Fire Qi.

After a moment, the temperature near the area of his right hand began to rise rapidly before finally forming a fire blaze. Fion opened his eyes and saw the red raging flames which formed in front of his right hand palm, ready to ravage anything in it’s path.

Fion released the blaze as it flew like a meteor and hit the debris where the red eyed rhino was buried. An explosion resembling a mushroom cloud of fire which was slightly less powerful than that which formed during the final clash with the rhino occurred. It completely disintegrated the red eyed rhino into ashes and even burnt the rocks to a semi molten state.

Fion was using his Yuan Qi to protect himself, while watching the destructive power of his Fire Qi. He was gaped in astonishment since it was even more powerful than the fire Qi attacks by the red eyed rhino. But considering the rate of production of Fire Qi by the bacteria and the huge storage capability of the cell’s mitogenes, he concluded that this was only natural.

“Now i had another trump card up my sleeve but i should avoid using this power as much as possible until i reach the condensation realm” Fion knew how much chaos and commotion it would cause, if the cultivation world learnt of Fion’s ability. If that happens, he would definitely be targeted by the people who coveted his bacterial pool.

“My strength was rising at an extremely rapid pace. It seems my revenge will also be much quicker … hehe … i can’t wait for that day ” Fion’s face changed instantly as murderous aura enveloped him.

Then he turned his head and stared in the direction where Shigi’s body was laid. He made a slight movement as he disappeared form the area where he was previously standing.

Within some moments, fion arrived at the location where shigi’s body was laid down. He saw that the corpse was already beginning to decay and rot away.

“Even beasts don’t want to eat your corpse … ” Fion spit at the corpse. Then he brought his hands forward in the direction of the corpse and a small blazing ball of flame formed. With Fion’s control, it blasted into Shigi’s body and completely annihilated the latter’s corpse into ashes. Not even the bones remain and thus, the chapter of a prestigious elder of the mighty Yu Clan came to an end.

Fion thought for a while after which he put his hands in his pockets and injected Yuan Qi into the soul tear crystal. An evil grin gradually came into existence on his face as he murmured

“I hope the manly elder can show his manliness a little more ” he told to Shigi’s soul inside the crystal. Immediately, sounds of crying and screaming containing ultimate despair fell on fion’s ears. These cries were like a sweet song for fion’ ear as he listened to it for some time.

“haha, i wish you have a nice time with these ladies. Well, See you at the evening ” Fion told his wishes scornfully and retreated back his consciousness from the crystal.

“Now, what can i do next ..Hmmm … may be … i would look for some Lorn beasts along the periphery of these mountain ranges” Fion decided and began to traverse the outskirts. He know that going deeper in to the mountain range would be pure suicidal , as he may encounter more powerful lorn beasts, and even some higher realm beasts.
