BXBX NOVEL Chapter 48 Awakening Of Power
Cyrus was plunged into misery after giving Rita his final command. He could feel his Prime Dantian was getting ripped apart from his spiritual soul.
There exist three Dantian (Lower, Middle, and Upper) in a Spiritual Soul, which could be said is the corporeal consciousness. Dantian were locked treasures in a spiritual soul which could be unlocked by Qi or Magic.
The most common knowledge about Dantian was it could store massive amounts of Qi or magic and continue to increase its capacity with higher realms of cultivation. In simple words, Dantian was the Energy Source Store.
While this was the most basic function of a Dantian.
As for why they were three, it was also because the three types of Dantian were used in different strengthening systems.
In magic civilizations, Lower Dantian was used and known as Magic Cores. In Spiritual civilizations, Middle Dantian were used and called the Soul Omphalos or Soul Sea. Finally, in cultivation civilization, Upper Dantian was used to store Qi and is known as Prime Dantian.
However, this didn't mean that the other two Dantian were useless, not by a long shot. It's just that unlocking a certain Dantian first had different kinds of strict paths, which gave birth to the three aforementioned strengthening systems.
Cyrus as a cultivator by heart, naturally unlocked his Prime Dantian first when he unknowingly unlocked the system. But for some reason, he couldn't access it despite knowing it was opened.
However, after he chose the exclusive Primary Energy Source, the Sword Nebula, this hidden Prime Dantian surface again, but only to be torn apart by the System.
Although he had no idea why it was necessary, he didn't have the time nor the willpower to mull over it. He was only focused on enduring the pain, which seemed to be endless.
However, the tormenting pain gradually started to subdue when his prime Dantian was fully torn apart from his spiritual soul, and what was left in its space was nothing but an empty void.
All of a sudden, Cyrus, who was on the verge of madness, suddenly felt a peculiar warm energy gush out from somewhere and directly enter his prime Dantian place behind his glabella.
From torment, Cyrus felt an extremely pleasant feeling that almost made him moan. At this moment, his vision suddenly turned, and he found himself afloat in this strange darkness.
'This is my… spiritual soul!' Cyrus guessed since he was quite familiar with this feeling of being completely free and weightless.
However, before he could further investigate this state, his attention was drawn by a bright white spark right in front of him in this pitch-black darkness.
Almost instantly, the white spark started to get bigger and brighter in a particular shape.
After watching that shape, Cyrus instantly guessed what it was, 'A sword?'
As the bright spark got bigger, its shape turned into a slender sword, and Cyrus had this feeling that this sword was none other than the Lust Sword!
The bright sword continued to grow larger and larger until Cyrus wasn't even able to see the edge of it, and it covered the entire darkness like a brilliant white star.
The time lost its concept as Cyrus watched the bright sword growing so much that he was nothing but a speck of dust in front of it, and all of a sudden, that brightness suddenly burst!
Cyrus's vision was instantly blinded by this sudden turn of events, and when he was able to see, he found himself lying on the cold street, and he was surrounded by chilly airs and pink ice.
'What happened?' He was utterly confused before he started to regain his memories before he blacked out.
At this moment, the system's emotionless voice sounded,
_____
[The creation process of Primordial Origin Void is over!]
[Congratulation, User, for successfully creating the primordial Origin Void successfully!]
__
-Unlocked Energy Source: Sword Nebula (Yin & Yang)
__
[Sword Nebula: Contains the Primordial Origin Energy of Yin and Yang and can grow Infinitely.]
__
[The status has been updated!]
______
Cyrus was bewildered when he heard the notification and muttered, 'I succeeded?'
"Bang…"
However, a terrifying explosion snapped him out of his stupor as he looked around before looking up, and his expression changed when he saw a bonny figure falling into this opening.
"Rita!" He instantly recognized who it was, and without hesitation, he caught her.
But his expression went even darker when he felt Rita's weight was too light and when she looked at her face, killing intent surface. Rita looked extremely pale, like a corpse, and her healthy complexion was long gone, and she looked like a wilted dry corpse.
Furthermore, her breathing was also gone, and her body was icy cold. She was on the verge of dying.
But her eyes were not closed, not until she saw Cyrus was fine before her dry lips twitched into a faint smile. She wanted to say something, but before she could, her body finally gave up, and she went limp.
Cyrus's aura was extremely murderous when he saw Rita's current state, and he felt his heart stabbed by thousands of knives when he saw that smile of relief on her face after she saw him.
"You can't die!" Cyrus uttered imposingly as he put his hand on Rita's head and muttered gently, "Golden Spell: Instant Recovering!"
Cyrus no longer cares about the consequence of casting this peak-grade spell that a mortal could learn. He knew Rita fell into such a sorry state because he asked her to protect him while she could just run away while saving her life.
Cyrus knew he wouldn't be able to do such a thing if it was him in Rita's place, and this gesture of hers finally moved his heart. He knows better than anyone that this kind of grit to protect someone with one's life was too rare, and this kind of person was worth his respect and protection.
There weren't many people who had this kind of place in his heart, but from now on, Rita was definitely going to be one of them.
However, to Cyrus's astonishment, the golden grade spell didn't drain his life force at all, and it was instantly cast as a gentle emerald light covering Rita's entire body!
Furthermore, there was a peculiar black sheen over this emerald light which was not the spell effect as far as Cyrus could remember.
'Could it be Sword Nebula?' Cyrus instantly guessed as he knew this was only an explanation, and he wasn't even feeling tired after using a peak Golden Grade Spell.
Without hesitation, he cast another, "Golden Spell: Soul Bliss!"
He could feel Rita's life was just hanging by a threat, and he didn't want to take risks with the soul winds around. The Instant Healing Spell will take some time because of Rita's current state, and getting exposed to the soul winds would do nothing but harm to her.
This time, Cyrus finally felt some exhaustion after the Soul Bliss was cast completely, but his life force was still completely intact.
'Just what kind of thing is this Sword Nebula that can make me cast a golden grade spell two times in a row with only Body Qi Tempering level strength?' Cyrus's eyes shimmered with uncertainty and elation.
"Bang!"
But he didn't have time to mull over his new prowess, and the ice wall around him was starting to crack under the bombardment of powerful force.
Killing intent shone in his eyes, 'I still have to take care of these guys who almost killed her.'
With that in mind, he leaped in the air with Rita in his hand who was now encased in emerald light, and Cyrus was shocked when he leaped almost ten meters in the air without putting much effort.
He finally understood that the changes bought by the Sword Nebulas weren't just limited to him finally unlocking Qi, but his body had also strengthened by at least two folds.
Cyrus looked outside, and his eyes contracted when he saw the surrounding was filled with bone debris and shattered ice. Not only that, but right now, hundreds of skeletons completely surround this small ice wall made by Rita.
His eyes landed on the cyanic skeleton, who was the one who shattered the thick ice wall with its bare hand, and right now, it looked like a skeleton made with pure iron.
The cyanic skeleton halted its punch and suddenly looked upward and saw Cyrus looking at it with killing.
Without hesitation, the skeleton leaped toward Cyrus and threw its signature punch.
Cyrus landed on top of the wall, and when he saw the cyanic skeleton coming at him with terrifying speed, he sneered before his eyes started to glow darkly.
The air seemed to freeze at this moment before Cyrus thought as his eyes were now bright black, 'Yin and Yang Fire Manipulation: Manifest!'
Almost instantly, the cyanic skeleton was completely engulfed with pitch-black fire, and the next moment, it turned into nothingness. Not even its ashes remained. The process was so fast it didn't even know how it perished.
This was the true terror of the Ying and Yang Fire, which was the bane of everything, and once touched by this fire, there was no reincarnation and only eternal death!
