Akash's eyes were closed as he was recalling the method of practicing the Tyrannical Body of the Gods. Stage 1 was called the Mortal Body. It required the practitioner's body to be refined by fire continuously for 1 year. Akash opened his eyes.
"This will hurt me a bit."
Akash was no longer afraid of pain after going through those blood transfusion evolutions. He was able to bear every sort of physical and mental torture, but there was one thing that made Akash worry. That was that he would have to restart the process of the whole stage if he died during the body refinement process within 1 year, even if it's just one second before completion. After 1 year, his body would break through to the first stage and his cosmic powers would rise as well.
