A man, sitting cross-legged, was hovering in outer space, drifting in the distant void that no one knew of, without a care for all the poisonous Universal Energy that surrounded him. Yes, it was the previous Vampire Progenitor, Azriel.
After the Anomaly was dead, he, the Universe's Child, wasn't discarded by the Universe. Rather, he once again returned to the edge of the Universe, where no one would disturb him, and he continued cultivating.
In the past year, however, he had only managed to reach the Emperor Stage, barely breaking through Phase One of cultivation. Of course, for others, this progress was nothing short of absurd, but Azriel was different.
For Azriel, understanding his new Cultivation Bridge was never difficult. He barely needed a few hours to understand the next stage, and all he needed to do was absorb enough Universal Energy and break through.
This was also the reason he became an Expert Stage Cultivator from a mortal in a matter of days.
