Reborn with Infinity Money System, I was Worshipped by All Universes! - Chapter 285

Chapter 285: Chapter282-I Just Want to Break Through a Bit, Hope I’m Not Disturbing Your Foot Soak
“Kendrix, why are you staring at me like that? I’m just soaking my feet,” Karos said, completely oblivious. “This foot soak water Lord Velen used, whatever it is—it feels amazing!”

Smack! Smack! Smack!

Kendrix slapped Karos’s head several times in a fit of rage.

“All you know is soaking your damn feet! I told you to learn to enjoy luxury and wasteful spending, but you never listened! You don’t know anything—you’re driving me crazy!”

Kendrix then dipped his own feet into the Iron Cub Spring Water.

A tremor shot through his very soul. The comfort was beyond words!

“This is unreal! I wanted Lord Velen to see what real extravagance looks like, but I was the one living in a damn well staring at the sky!”

“In front of Lord Velen, I’m no tycoon at all!”

Ding!

Congratulations, Host! You’ve successfully shown Kendrix what true luxurious waste looks like. One-third of the mission has been completed. Reward: 3 billion luxury points!

Just as Velen was enjoying the delightful foot soak, the system’s voice echoed in his mind.

“What the hell?! Three billion luxury points just for one-third of the mission?”

Velen was utterly stunned.

If the full reward was 9 billion, that would be insane!

Especially since reaching Ascended Rank level 9 peak only required 7 billion luxury points!

“System,” Velen asked, regaining his composure, “once I reach Ascended Rank level 9 peak, and I trigger all nine thunder tides, will I still need to spend luxury points to endure them?”

Ding!

Reminder: Once Host reaches Ascended Rank level 9 peak, the nine thunder tides will be automatically triggered. Surviving them requires no luxury point consumption—just personal endurance.

“System,” Velen asked suspiciously, “don’t tell me this special mission card was something you gave me on purpose—to force me to ascend faster into the upper plane universe?”

Ding!

System cannot control mission rewards. All mission-related results are random and beyond system manipulation.

“Heh,” Velen sneered.

He trusted the system for technical stuff, but everything else it said? Complete nonsense. Only a fool would believe it.

(System: I don’t even have a mouth! You asked me this already last time!)

“Kendrix bro!”

“Why did you hit me earlier?”

Noticing Kendrix’s mood had improved, Karos finally dared to ask.

“Why did I hit you?”

“Didn’t I explain it while I was hitting you?”

Kendrix sighed, holding his forehead. Karos’s cluelessness was giving him a headache.

Sigh…

Seeing Karos still looking confused, Kendrix helplessly began to explain, “You do realize that the foot basin and soak water are—”

But before he could finish—

“Gentlemen,” Velen suddenly interrupted, “I’d like to make a breakthrough. Hope I’m not disturbing your foot soak?”

“…What?”

Breakthrough?

Most people meticulously prepare for a breakthrough.

They find a quiet place, meditate for days, isolate themselves from distractions…

And here he was, soaking his feet and breaking through at the same time?!

Karos and Kendrix both looked like their eyeballs were about to fall out from sheer shock.

BOOM!

A suffocating aura burst out from Velen’s body.

Both Karos and Kendrix instantly felt like insignificant ants being crushed beneath an invisible force.

Ascended Rank?!

They couldn’t determine Velen’s exact level, but one thing was clear—

They were absolutely terrified.

Outside the House.

As a Thunder Calamity began forming in the skies over the courtyard, the powerhouses of the Provan family rushed back in.

Sensing the breakthrough energy coming from inside the house—and seeing the brewing Thunder Calamity—their expressions all changed drastically.

When an Ascended Rank powerhouse breaks through, no one is supposed to be within several hundred meters.

Otherwise, it amplifies the thunder’s power and could even kill innocent bystanders!

“Everyone remain calm!”

“If you enter the calamity zone, it’ll only make things worse!”

“If His Highness or Karos ends up in danger, I will intervene—but none of you are to act without my order!”

The old steward, Norson, had already steeled himself for death.

He would protect His Highness and Karos no matter the cost.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

One thunderbolt after another rained down from the sky—straight at the powerhouses hovering above the courtyard.

“Gods above!”

“This isn’t right!”

“We’re not even in the thunder zone!”

Seeing the lightning strike them despite being outside the danger range, everyone panicked and unleashed defensive magic in a hurry.

“What the hell is going on?!”

“Is the thunder blind? Or just stupid?”

“It’s not even striking the person breaking through—it’s only coming for us!?”

Norson, who had easily blocked several strikes, frowned in confusion.

“Hahaha!”

“Lord Norson! This lightning is weak—it’s easy to block!”

“Looks like we don’t need to worry about His Highness at all!”

One of the knights laughed out loud.

(Blazing Knight Commander: Bro… you’re really about to eat karma. That’s exactly what I said last time, and I ended up questioning my entire life afterward!)

Norson opened his mouth to reply—

But suddenly, his expression changed. He looked up in alarm.

“Not good!”

“All units—scatter and retreat!”

“The thunder tide is transforming into a full Thunder Calamity!”

Having sensed the shift, Norson shouted the warning to the twenty-odd family elites nearby.

Moments later—

All the fleeing warriors regrouped over the courtyard, utterly defeated.

The Thunder Calamity was expanding too fast. There was no room to escape.

The further they ran, the stronger the thunder’s pressure became.

Some even sensed death lingering in the bolts overhead—one hit would vaporize them on the spot!

Ironically, being closer to the courtyard actually made the thunder’s intensity drop back to normal.

“From now on, everyone focus on resisting the thunder!”

“If anyone dares open their mouth again, I’ll cut them down myself!”

Norson bellowed, staring daggers at the knight who’d been laughing earlier.

Several minutes later.

When the Thunder Calamity finally dispersed, everyone let out a breath of relief.

Even though it had been regular thunder, enduring five or six rounds in a row had left them utterly exhausted.

“I don’t care who this friend of Karos is—we cannot allow His Highness to keep associating with him!”

Norson thought grimly as he descended toward the house.

BOOM!

Just as he reached midair, another massive energy fluctuation surged out from within the house!

They’ve gone insane!

A second breakthrough?! Already?!

When the sky above began condensing another Thunder Calamity, everyone wanted to collapse in despair.

He just broke through to level 3, and now he’s breaking through again after the time it takes to snap a finger?!

Completely absurd!

What made it worse—

The thunder wasn’t even hitting Velen.

It was exclusively targeting them again!

“Everyone, brace yourselves!”

“Prepare to withstand another Thunder Calamity!”

Norson flew back into position, his face dark with frustration.

Other people break through, and they endure the thunder themselves.

When Velen breaks through… he has to take the thunder hits for him!

In all his decades of life, he’d never suffered indignity like this!

“Listen up!”

“This Thunder Calamity is highly irregular. Once it disperses, everyone evacuate immediately! I’ll stay behind to protect His Highness and Karos myself!”

As the first bolt of this new Thunder Calamity came crashing down, Norson shouted his orders with grim determination.

Inside the House.

“Lord Velen!”

Kendrix was completely stunned.

He had never seen anyone go through an Ascended Rank breakthrough with such nonchalance.

And now… Velen was doing it while soaking his feet!

“You’re… really breaking through?” Kendrix asked, utterly baffled.

“You’re supposed to be focused entirely on controlling the surging mana. Otherwise, it could be life-threatening!”

“And… if I may ask… what is your actual cultivation level?”

Looking at the completely unfazed Velen, Kendrix simply couldn’t believe what he was seeing.

If it weren’t for the undeniable breakthrough aura coming from Velen, he wouldn’t have believed it at all.
