Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 554

Chapter 554 But those who reached the level of an eighth grade alchemist paid unimaginable prices in effort and hardship .

They had faced countless life and death crises and needed immense fortune to encounter rare opportunities and profound enlightenment to become an eighth grade alchemist .

Andrew , however , had walked the path others spent their entire lives treading , finishing it over a decade ago .

As per the old saying , The tallest tree in the forest is always the first to be felled .

Ten years ago , Andrew had been forced to carve a bloody path out of Chetvine , vanishing into obscurity .

Now , seated calmly in his meditation chamber , Andrew took a deep breath and swallowed the Ascension Pill in one go .

A surge of immense heat rushed to his head and spread through every part of his body .

Break ! he muttered .

Andrews eyes glowed with a faint golden hue as he clenched his teeth and let out a low growl .

The roaring sound of thunder coursed through his twin core meridians first , then surged into his twelve primary meridians and spread across the network of his entire body .

The three seals that had locked away his martial strength since he fled the imperial capital began to react .

The first seal started to crumble .

The second seal loosened ever so slightly .

But the third seal remained immovable , tightly binding the final layer of his martial strength with no room for escape .

Finally , the first seal in Andrews lower energy core shattered completely .

The immense power of the pill converged in his energy core , like countless rivers pouring into the ocean .

His aura and latent combat strength , dormant for years , began to awaken with a series of crisp popping sounds .

No one knew how much time had passed before Andrew , sitting cross legged , opened his eyes and exhaled a long breath .

His eyes sparkled like the morning star , clear and radiant .

A faint smile played on his lips as he stood and stretched his body .

The first seal was broken ! The second seal had loosened , ready to be shattered with further effort .

All he needed was to collect more rare medicinal herbs and refine an even stronger pill to break through completely .

Once the second seal is broken , I can return to Chetvine and settle the debts of the past ! And when the third seal .

is broken … According to what my master once said , I will no longer belong to this world .
