Chapter 168: Spirit Manifestation Realm Level 3! First Awakening!
BOOM!
The combined reaction was disastrous.
The relentless, liquid-like essence from the Spirit Gathering Profound Banner merged with the explosive energy of the pill-veined Epic-Grade pills, flooding his body simultaneously.
The sheer volume of explosive energy surging through his meridians at this exact second was so outrageously massive that if a Core Formation Realm expert were standing in his place, they would have instantly popped like an overinflated blood balloon!
But Rhain’s expression remained as placid as a still lake.
He channeled his Abyssal Sovereign Technique, and pushed it to its maximum limit.
His Abyssal Sovereign Physique was also fully unleashed.
The dark void within his dantian expanded, operating like a supermassive black hole.
It effortlessly crushed and refined the rampaging essence with ravenous hunger.
At the exact same time, the Mystic-Grade Spirit Gathering Profound Banner buried deep beneath the courtyard was working at maximum capacity. It was relentlessly pumping the subterranean spiritual vein’s essence from a fifty-mile radius directly into his closed chamber.
Half an hour passed in this state.
Then, something bizarre happened.
RUMBLE—!
The space directly behind Rhain’s back trembled, and distorted.
A pitch-black void suddenly materialized in the air behind him.
It was the literal, physical manifestation of the Abyssal Sovereign Physique’s gluttony spilling out into the real world.
And it went completely berserk.
The moment black void appeared, Rhain’s absorption speed suddenly multiplied by several folds!
WHOOSH—!
A horrifying suction force erupted.
The liquid-like essence that had densely flooded the entire cultivation chamber was instantly ripped from the air.
In the span of a single heartbeat, the room was sucked utterly dry.
Even the Spirit Gathering Profound Banner, operating at its absolute maximum output, simply couldn’t pump essence fast enough to satisfy the gaping, berserk abyss behind his back!
Rhain’s brows furrowed slightly.
The insatiable hunger was threatening to destabilize his breakthrough process.
The external essence was no longer enough.
Without a single second of hesitation, Rhain’s hand flashed toward his spatial ring.
He grabbed another massive handful of flawless, Pill-Veined Epic-Grade elixirs.
He didn’t even bother counting them.
He swiftly threw the entire handful into his mouth and swallowed them down.
BOOM!
Another torrential ocean of essence exploded within him, instantly feeding the starving void.
The refinement process hit its peak.
A few more minutes passed in this heavily pressurized state.
And then...
CRACK!
A tyrannical aura erupted from his body, shaking the entire courtyard that was filled with defensive arrays.
Spirit Manifestation Realm—Level 1!
But the devouring hunger of his physique did not subside in the slightest. freewёbnoνel.com
Rhain had been deliberately suppressing his cultivation, continuously compressing his essence to forge an unshakable foundation. freewebnøvel.com
He had held the floodgates closed for so long.
And now that he had finally released the lock... it was like a massive dam breaking.
The momentum was unstoppable.
The berserk black void behind him roared continued to absorb the endless stream of energy continuously pumped into the room by the Spirit Gathering Profound Banner.
From time to time, Rhain would toss a few more Epic-Grade pills into his mouth.
His aura rose without a moment of pause.
CRACK!
Spirit Manifestation Realm—Level 2!
Still, the ascent continued.
The immense stockpile of energy he had accumulated, combined with the heaven-defying soul power he had forged from the Mystic-Grade pill, pushed his physical cultivation higher and higher.
The Abyssal Sovereign Physique eagerly consumed every drop of essence, refining it into a foundation that was fundamentally unmatched in the entire Solathane Dynasty.
Finally, after completely consuming the last remnants of the Epic-Grade pills in his stomach and draining the immediate reserves of the Spirit Gathering Profound Banner, the vortex of dark essence began to slow.
The pitch-black void hovering behind his back slowly shrank, eventually dissolving back into his body.
His surging aura finally came to a halt.
Spirit Manifestation Realm—Level 3!
Rhain slowly opened his eyes.
He let out a slow exhale.
The air leaving his lungs actually caused a faint ripple in the surrounding space.
Stepping into the Spirit Manifestation Realm was a qualitative leap.
His physical strength, essence reserves, and sensory perception had multiplied by an unimaginable margin.
But before Rhain could even begin to fully consolidate his realm...
THUMP! THUMP! THUMP!
His heart rate suddenly accelerated.
A surge of profound knowledge flooded directly into Rhain’s consciousness.
Rhain’s dark grey eyes widened slightly as the ancient information branded itself into his mind.
Overlord’s Tyranny.
Abyssal Sovereign Physique had finally awakened its first innate power!
It was not a martial art.
It was an absolute suppression field that was integrated with his Spiritual Sense.
By channeling Overlord’s Tyranny through his Spiritual Sense, Rhain could project the all consuming dread of the Abyss onto the real world.
Wherever he released his Spiritual Sense, the power would instantly take effect.
Anyone caught within the radius of his Spiritual Sense would feel as though a god of death was staring directly into their soul.
It would plunge his opponents into an instinctual and insuppressible fear.
It would forcefully strip away their combat instincts, flooding their mind with thoughts of panic and forcing them into a state of fatal indecision.
In a high-level battle between experts, a single millisecond of hesitation was a death sentence.
But the horror of Overlord’s Tyranny did not stop at the mind.
The suppression was also intensely physical.
Under the crushing weight of this physique-born power, the space around his enemies would become their cage.
Their physical movements would be forcefully bogged down.
Their essence would stagnate, and their limbs would feel as though they were submerged in swamp, drastically crippling their speed and reaction time.
"Perfect," Rhain muttered with profound satisfaction.
This ability was fundamentally broken.
Especially for him.
Because he had consumed the Mystic-Grade Spirit-Ascension Star Lily, his Spiritual Sense was not that of an ordinary Spirit Manifestation cultivator.
His spiritual sea had expanded to atleast a 1000 miles, and now with his breakthrough to the Spirit Manifestation Realm, it has increased even more.
This meant the radius and intensity of his Overlord’s Tyranny is so huge that it’s practically inescapable.
When combined with the blinding speed of his Flashing Thunder Boots and his Heavenly-Grade Boundless Sky Wind...
"if I go all out, then an early stage Core Formation Realm expert wouldn’t last a single breath against me now, " Rhain muttered.
