dont read "Even if you cultivation has regressed, wouldn't everything be fine if you spend a night with us again? Then once you become an Emperor, wouldn't you be even stronger?" Thyra questioned and all the women turned silent. However, just as all of them were about to have a mental breakdown, Nux smiled wryly and shook his head. "I would not become an Emperor if I just spend a night with all of you." "What do you mean?" Astaria narrowed her eyes, "Did you lose the Dual Cultivation ability after rebuilding your foundation?" She didn't know how to feel about this. Rebuilding the Foundation was good, but… the Dual Cultivation was Nux's trump card. A 22 Year old Emperor Stage Cultivator. This was so ridiculously fast that Astaria doubted that even the Main Continent would have a monster like Nux and this was all only possible because of Nux's absurd Dual Cultivation ability. So even though his Foundation was now better than before, and Nux was very, very strong for a King Stage Cultivator, Astaria felt that it was a loss in the long run. Nux, however, shook his head and clarified himself, "That's not it. I can still Dual Cultivate. However, unlike how before, where my body directly absorbed the Energy generated during the Dual Cultivation, now, I would have to do it manually using *Essence*. *Essence* allows me to 'store' energy. It stored all the Energy I had inside my Body all this while, making me a mortal again, then, I needed an year to redirect all that energy into my body again, this time, with a better foundation. It was a smooth process, however, there was a little problem, Although the new foundation I built was great, there was a problem, the 'Energy' this new foundation needed was unreasonably high. Therefore, even after using all my energy, I could only become a King Stage Cultivator and not an Emperor." "Becoming an Emperor requires absurdly high amount of Mana, if I had to give it a number, it would be around 2 times higher than the Mana required to become a King Stage Cultivator from a Mortal." Astaria spoke. "Yes, that is correct." Nux nodded. "I only became a King Stage Cultivator after using all that Energy, so you can now imagine how much energy I need to become an Emperor. I can indeed Generate Energy after with Dual Cultivation, however, the Energy I generate would be too small for it to actually do something." Nux explained, then, a perverted smile appeared on his face and he continued, "Of course, if we go at it for 10 or something years, I would definitely become an Emperor." The women rolled their eyes when they heard his words. "Does that mean you can now cultivate on your own as well?" Thyra questioned. "Yes, I can do that, but again, it would be too inefficient. The 'Energy' I generate when after continuously cultivating for more around a week can simply be generated after one session of Dual Cultivation with you all. And you already you, whenever we go for it, things never end with just one single session." Nux smiled playfully. The women blushed again, "So it means cultivating yourself is not good, right?" Allura questioned. Nux turned towards his alluring wife and nodded, "That is correct, I would rather sleep with you than do something as boring as cultivating." Allura blushed. Nux smiled playfully, then, he turned towards rest of his women and questioned, "Anyways, How was it? Losing to a mere King Stage Cultivator, I mean." The women's faces twitched. Especially Astaria, for some reason, she felt that Nux was specifically pointed at her when he said those words, "Just wait for me to perfect my Sword Aura, I will make you shut that annoying mouth of yours." Nux just smiled, "Heeeh? You think that would do you any good? What's the point of having a strong sword technique when you can't even catch your opponent?" "Right, what did I even expect, you would obviously run away the moment you are at disadvantage." Astaria retorted. "Of course, I am not dumb enough to barge into a stronger opponent after all. There are things called tactics in a battle." "As they say, power can bling a being to the point he would even forget that the one he was teaching was none other than his teacher at some point." Astaria snorted and hearing those words, Nux chuckled. It was really fun teasing Astaria. "Alright, you all, rest well. I was serious when I said I wanted to say how much you all improved. We will do this again, not the spar, but an actual demonstration of each of your strengths, I need to know how strong all of you are." Saying those words, Nux stood up. "We can do that right now." Astaria replied. "No, not right now. I have something to do right now." Nux quickly shook his head. Astaria frowned, Nux then walked around and soon, he appeared in front of Allura and picked her up like a princess. "I have already delayed it for a long while." With those words, Nux turned around and with Allura in his arms, he walked out. The other women didn't say anything either, they already knew Nux wanted to talk to Allura alone, rebuilding his foundation took longer than Nux expected, but now that he was back, the first thing he would do was to talk with Allura. All the women closed their eyes, resting their body and preparing for the demonstration. On the other hand, as Nux and Allura walked out of the room, and soon as they did, Allura's expression changed. "You are a fucking monster…" She commented as she looked around. Nux smiled wryly as well. "I guess I went a little overboard…" "A little…?" Allura blinked her eyes as she looked around again. Other than the building where they lived, everything was… turned into debris. The ground had several cracks on it, the trees were… well, broken… the grass was all burnt because of the Fireballs Nux unleashed and since he directed all the fireballs towards the ground, there were huge craters here and there. Honeslty… this place looked… abandoned… No, abandoned seemed like a weak word, This place… it looked like it was… bombed by 1000s of bombs. "If only I was this strong…" Suddenly, Allura commented. And hearing those words, Nux frowned.
