Chapter 54: Vital Core Realm.

​Rahu gritted his teeth and endured. Taking as much Mana as he could absorb.

​After a good thirty minutes. Seris’ voice sounded from his back.

​”Good, you’re doing better! Now, slowly concentrate on the raw Mana inside your body and try to gather it in one place. By then, you’ll get to know your elemental affinity. But we are not here to form an elemental core. Try absorbing those [Vital Soul Cores].”

​Seris carefully instructed him; she was extra patient with him because he was a bit of a special case.

​”Elemental Affinity? Hah! I have Supreme Affinity over the Dimension!” Rahu snorted inwardly, but didn’t lose his concentration.

​After a few minutes, he slowly stretched his hands towards those cores. Grabbing them, he opened his mouth wide and gobbled all of them at once!!

​”WHA—!! YOU IDIOT, WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?” Seeing his crazy actions, Seris shouted at the top of her lungs.

​This! Madman! Just a tiny piece of that core was enough to obliterate his soul a thousand times over! And this crazy bastard just swallowed them like chips!

​And as expected, his body began to crack—literally! Split marks were all over his body! Aside from his face, which was covered in green veins, all of his body was on the verge of collapse due to the extreme amount of [Soul Energy] entering his system.

​But Rahu still held on, his head buzzing. It felt like millions of bees were in his mind, an extreme sense of pain and discomfort.

​”RAHU!!”

​”MASTER”

​”NOO!!”

​Vivianne rushed towards him with tears in her eyes, followed by Karma and Zira, who had the same grief-stricken face.

​Just as the cracks were about to reach his face, his [Dimension Core] shook.

​“SHRRRRRRP—!”

“KRRRSHHHHP—!”

​An immense amount of suction force was released from it. Instantly sucking every bit [Soul Energy] in his body.

​”Hah! I knew it, you wouldn’t disappoint me!” Rahu grinned; the cracks around his body stopped spreading.

​Then something extraordinary happened that left even Rahu’s mouth wide open!

​His original [Dimensional Core], which was just the size of a marble, began to swell! It slowly kept expanding until it reached the size of a human fist!

​Badump!

​It pulsed slightly, a white orb slowly extending from it. The space around him hummed slightly, and suddenly, the raw Mana from around the surroundings began to enter his body, more specifically, his newly formed [Vital Soul Core].

​He could feel it as a sense of pure euphoria washed throughout his existence. The feeling was from his soul. Yes, it was beginning to grow stronger both in quality and strength.

​His eyes blurred as strange hexagons began to appear on the sclera, so mysterious that even the Supreme Elder of the Divine Sword Sect wouldn’t be able to identify what those were.

​”I see. No wonder my physique said my soul wasn’t strong enough. If I ever wielded the [Dimensional Energy] in my past, it would have shattered my soul in a million pieces,” Rahu uttered, his voice hoarse. But his eyes were shining like stars at midnight.

​Raising his hand up, a dense white light shone in his hands. Grasping it, he drew his hand back. A beautiful arc was created.

​But the ability was anything but beautiful. The moment his [Dimensional Energy] came in contact with the space around him, it wasn’t just torn, it was shredded as if a divine beast’s claw had touched it.

​”Still too, Hah, well, I’m sure the next trip will fill that gap,” Rahu smirked. For now, just wielding this mysterious [Dimensional Energy] was enough.

​Strangely, his body had already healed. Aside from his arm, everything was as new and strong as it was before.

​Yes, he had officially stepped into the Vital Core Realm. In just a few months of his arrival!

​”RAHU!! Y-you did it!!” Vivianne shouted from his back, and hearing her voice, he didn’t need to turn around to guess that she had cried—alot.

​”You actually pulled that off. What kind of monster are you?” Seris spoke, her voice laced with incredulousness.

​”The kind that will enter your hole tonight,” Rahu snorted. Hearing his jeer, Seris froze. Her entire face turned beet red.

​”R-Rascal! Shameless!! H-how could you say such words in front of everyone!?”

​Her voice cracked. Even in this situation, this guy was as unhinged as ever!

​”M-Master! Congratulations!” Zira too stepped towards him and bowed.

​”Step back, it’s not over yet.”

​Saying that, he looked towards the other three demonic beast cores. Which radiated an immense aura. Far greater than the [Vital Soul Core] he just absorbed.

​”I won’t say I don’t believe you, but you should be extremely careful, you just saw how dangerously aggressive these beasts were, and not to mention their elements,” Seris spoke. This time her tone was serious, won’t if this guy pulls that reckless move again.

​”Heh, don’t worry, it’s different now. I can feel it.”

​With his soul many times stronger than before, he could perceive some strange things that he couldn’t previously.

​”Alright, let’s start with the most dangerous one.”

​Saying that, he picked up a dark green core. It was the core of that horrendous snake. Its poison was so strong that it ended a Soul Tempering Realm cultivator in a matter of minutes.

​He inspected it for a moment before tossing it straight into his mouth. His expression turned to one that was disgusting. He felt a strange taste, like he had just swallowed the most sour thing in existence.

Shoving this sour taste back into his mind, he closed his eyes, concentrating. The demonic beast core was slowly enveloped in a pure white light, guiding it towards his [Dimensional Core].

​The same thing happened; it instantly got absorbed inside it. Moments later, the [Dimensional Core] spat out a small green marble. This time, the drama was less, as he had already gotten his share of drama today.

​As expected, his otherworldly violet orbs stirred, turning into a snake’s slit pupil, but only the middle part of his retina, the rest of his pupil, remained purple.

​His left shoulder began to shake slightly. The area around the stub began to move slightly, and green liquid began to leak from it.

​But what happened next stunned Seris. Within a few seconds, a brand new arm was created! It was just as good, if not better than the previous arm!

​Seeing this, Rahu nodded. That was the main reason he took the snake’s demonic core first. Now the only thing that’s left is the last two cores. Rahu grinned, picking both cores in his hands, opening his mouth wide, and he tossed them inside.
