BREAKTHROUGH PART 2. RASIA CORE

Monster Lands, 7th Zone.

7th zone is the home to most dangerous and strongest monsters on Monster world. Even the strongest cultivators among humanoid races could barely step into 6th zone, but there were few instances in the past, where few of them stepped into the 7th zone. But they never returned alive and ended up as nutrients to the soil.

7th zone is also a special zone to the monsters, as it is home to the royal family of the monsters, the Dragon Race. Dragons are the strongest of all the monsters by a large margin, so the remaining monsters show absolute loyalty to them.

Not much is known to humanoid races about Dragon Race after the first Monster vs Humanoid races war. There are only few rumours or news about them, gathered from most of the elite captured monsters. Dragon race is known for their high temperament, Unyielding attitude, bloodthirsty fighting intent, hoarding mentality and high gambling. But what the rest of the world don't know is, they are known for their friendship. For their friends, they will sacrifice their lives without even a second thought and also will go to any lengths in order to protect them.

Dragon king rules his enormous domain from 7th zone. His wife and concubines control 6th zone. While the younger members of his family are limited to 5th zone.

Dragon king resides in an enormous ancient palace constructed of holy jade in the middle of the 7th zone. At the far end of the palace is a highly restricted area surrounded by numerous barrier formations. Apart from the Dragon King and his successor no one can operate these formations. Those who are curious and wanted to explore this area were almost killed or beaten to with an inch of life.

This restricted area is the current hideout of Rasia core. Only those who enter this restricted area can understand the beauty and importance of this place. It's like a complete Utopia in here. The place is filled up with a strong density of spiritual air, giving rise to Grade 15 spiritual herbs. Any Alchemist in the world will sell their soul to the devil in order to spend at least one day here. At the center of this restricted area is a 4 ft square indigo diamond. This is the core of the Rasia world. The meteor that struck this world 8 trillion years ago. There is a small platform near the core for cultivation.

Currently a 8ft red haired man with bare chest and red pants is meditating on the platform. Two horns can also be seen on top his head. This is the 18th and current Dragon King Ko. He became the dragon king of his people after his father ascended to the higher world. But his meditation was interrupted by the sudden eruption of the suffocating pressure throughout the monster world.

"Rasia sama, are you also sensing this?"- Ko

From the indigo core came an imaginary figure of an 8 year old little girl, dressed in rose coloured dress. she has light blue hair tied up in twintails.

"Someone extraordinary is making a breakthrough. I can clearly sense the same aura as my father."- Rasia

Rasia core was discovered by the first Dragon king 8 trillion years ago, when she first arrived on this world. At first he has no idea as to what this indigo diamond is, but because of the dragon race inherent ability of hoarding treasures, the first Dragon king decided to keep it as part of his collection.

Rasia kept observing the Dragon king for years and felt he is kinda stupid. She found him wasting his time instead of cultivating, making use of the rich spiritual air. Only later did she discover that no one on this world know how to cultivate the spiritual air.

But the first Dragon King found the simple indigo diamond as something special. During his free time, he would talk to the core of his adventures, fights and his flirting with other female dragons. She found him to be a blabbermouth at first, but slowly she found his company to be quite warming. As a sentient core she would have gone mad long ago without anyone talking to her.

But one day the Dragon King returned to his cave with deep wounds after he fought with another dragon for territory. As soon as he reached his cave, he collapsed due to severe exhaustion and excessive loss of blood. He would have died for sure, if Rasia didn't heal him in time.

After regaining consciousness he was surprised to see that he was completely healed. When he looked around, he noticed an imaginary figure of a little girl on the top of the indigo diamond. It didn't take much time for him to learn that this little girl saved him. But what he didn't expect was, he was seriously reprimanded like a child for an entire day for his foolish batting style and stubbornness to not run away from the battle, when the odds are against him. He was angry at first, but quickly realized that she is concerned about him. For him this is a new kind of experience as he didn't have any friends or family.

For the next few years, he started honing his battle skills under the guidance of Rasia. With her help, he became the undisputed ruler of the monsters. Over the years, she also started to share with him her stories. Her origins, experiences, knowledge, the destruction of the Rasia world. How she had to escape into the space with her core in order to escape from powerful cultivators.

Dragon king was really intrigued by her rich background and was a lot interested in her stories about cultivation and other sovereign level monsters. But he completely became furious after learning that, cultivators are after her to refine her as a weapon.Then and there itself, he decided to protect her no matter what.

Under Rasia teachings, he also started to cultivate. With the vast resources she absorbed before her world destruction and her almost infinite years of knowledge, it didn't take long for him to become a powerful cultivator. Overtime he also recruited loyal followers and started to train them.

One day during their talk, he learnt that this a High tier higher state world, with Peak Paragon cultivation as it's limit. But because of her presence, the world principles of monster world also slowly started to change, evolve and increase the restrictions on cultivation level. From her he also learnt the limit of Soul sense of a peak paragon is almost 70% of this world.

Fearing the future and greed of the humanoid races, he steeled his heart and decided to drive away all the humanoid races, taking the soul sense range of a peak paragon into account. He ordered the monsters under him to carry out his orders.That was the beginning of the first monster and humanoid races war. Rasia gave him a huge scolding for his foolish and unwarranted move. But he was adamant and firmly rejected to take back the order.

With his years of experience he clearly knew, how greedy the humanoid races were. Even though they all maintained tranquility on the surface, he knew many of them hunted most of the monsters for fun and their valuable body parts. He don't want the same fate to befall on his only friend, in case she was discovered by them. He only stopped the monsters, when he occupied more than 70% of the world.

He also divided this enormous domain into various zones, depending on the strength of the monsters. As the years passed he completely spent most of his time cultivating. During this time humanoid races also started cultivating. Soon they grew strong enough to challenge most of the alpha monsters and all his fears came to life. This time he personally decided to make a move.

He ended up fighting almost all the heroes and strongest warriors of the humanoid races. He killed most of them, but had to spare the remaining ones because of the continuous pleas from Rasia. He only retreated after splitting the world into 2 parts. The 2 parts are later joined by Blood Ocean. In order to alleviate the fears of the Dragon King, Rasia decided to poison the entire Blood Ocean, making it a natural barrier against these humanoid races. But just to be on the safe side, he decided to attack them every 100 million years, in order to mark the powerful cultivators on the opposite side. If he felt anyone is strong or will become a potential threat in the future, he would kill them.

As years passed by, it didn't take long for him to reach mid sovereign level, which was the current limit of the evolved monster world. Before his ascension, he clearly instructed his eldest son about his friendship with Rasia and made him take a blood oath in order to protect her. From then each generation of Dragon king were appointed as guards to her. He wanted to take her with him but decided against it as he not sure of his circumstances in the future.

From then the descendants of the first dragon king started to take care of the Rasia core. Even among the descendants, the successor of the Dragon king title only know about Rasia core. Now is the 18th generation Dragon King Ko time.

Compared to his ancestors, he is known to be the strongest of all the Dragon Kings. He also has enormous respect towards Rasia as a senior and teacher. When Auron and his guards stealthily entered the 7th zone to search for Rasia core, he easily picked them up with his soul sense. Rasia easily recognised them as a members under Boda family, based on the Red Bull crest on their uniforms.

When he learnt who they are, he completely unleashed his fury on them. He easily trashed them around the entire 7th zone like some broken toys. But they were able to escape from him at the last second sacrificing some of their life saving treasures. He wanted to pursue them, but they masked their aura with some kind of spatial tool.

"Rasia Sama, what do you mean by your father?"- Ko

"Sigh.Even though it is not intentional, we world's were all formed from the thoughts of Creator, so we all treat him as our father. While we world's treat each other as siblings. That is also the only reason, I didn't take over this world's will, despite our strength difference.

The cultivator who is making a breakthrough has the same creation aura as father. The descent of all the 7 elements also proves this fact. Ko, Can you do me a favor?"- Rasia

"Yes. just order me Rasia sama"- Ko

"Can you bring that cultivator here. I want to confirm something. Also it would be much better if you don't cause any trouble on your way"- Rasia

Now this is a strange request to even Ko. It's been a long time, since any of the Dragon kings left the side of Rasia core and ventured out. Now he not only had to leave her side, but he had to go towards human race lands.

"Rasia sama, can't I send someone else?"- Ko

"Sure you can. But is there anyone apart from you, who can reach human lands, without causing any troubles? "- Rasia

"Well, think I will send my eldest son. This will also be new learning experience to him. What do you say about this Rasia sama?"-Ko

Crown Prince Zor is known for his calm character, in contrast to other dragons. But despite his calm character, he is easily the second strongest cultivator in the family after his father, Ko.

"Alright send him. But warn him, it's only a invitation to the cultivator and there is no need to drag him/her forcefully if he refuses to come here"- Rasia

"Yes Rasia sama"- Ko

With that said, Ko vanished from his place.
