Chapter 671 Recovery And Power
Near thousand-kilometer class behemoth was accelerating and whirling in anguish in the midst of space. Feiry hot Force energy was creating large energy tides as it’slava chains flung around.
At present, tens of thousands of gigantic holes were opening around the Sunfire celestial’s body, shooting out hot blazing fluids that soon froze into black ice in the coldness of vacuum. It was the outcome as it underwent accelerated metabolism to banished a foreign object in its body—but even such extreme repelling reaction was helpless against that foreign object.
Soon, the Sunfire celestial stopped its forward dash and roll and stayed motionless in space as if it was dead, seemingly losing all vigor with thick Force shields over its body beginning to dissipate. But soon it started to struggle again, its layers of lava, flesh and Force mineral veins contorting into one and forming endless creases. The curling chains too became straight protrusions out from its body.
Then, countless pale gold light began to shoot out from the gigantic holes over its body as if they were innumerable edges composed of light. On its vulnerable surface regions not protected by any iron, uncountable wounds began to split apart, while much more searing light and energy blast burst out from within, shining like a new star amidst the planet. The exceedingly hot heat ignited its surface flesh and flesh in one third of a second, turning it into a giant fireball or a little sun.
At the same time, a little diamond dot shot out as if ejected by the intense energy burst, darting out along with an immeasurably bright beam from the depths of the Sunfire celestial’s body. It was only after he had covered hundreds of kilometers in space that he showed some hints of being alive. Pale diamond halation that were so faint they were ready to shatter appeared around the dot, stopping his motion under the explosive force.
“…Cough.”
Removing waste gases from his windpipe, David who was blasted violently by the explosion he created himself opened his eyes meekly and looked towards the Sunfire celestial some distance away that was now a complete fireball of blood. He now had no thoughts to care about the outcome of his offense, instead raising all four trembling arms and, with all four palms facing each other, ignited a silver light over his empty chest.
Having lost his blood core, David could only maintain his vigor and mobility with some residual strength—but that bit of power would not even support David as he floated around in space, much less reanimate his previous strength.
The only thing he could feel fortunate about was that he did not faint from that terrific explosion, and kept a hint of lucidity without using much energy so that he could keep some energy reserves even after leaving the Sunfire celestial’s body, allowing himself some capital to turn things around.
Closing his eyes, David energized diamond body with his last ounce of energy, swiftly created something out of the Void with his four arms that were positioned opposite each other, but it was from his inner world.
The object could not be seen clearly through his diamond luster at first, but soon a basic circular energy core appeared—its shape of which could only be found in creatures of the mother world. Still, it had lower efficiency in terms of natural blood energies.
But that was all David could do at the moment—with his energy reserves now, it was impossible for him to use blood and create a blood nucleus on the level of his previous blood heart l. Now, he could only slowly advance in order, upgrading from nothing bit by bit.
It was a mark of civilization’s advancement when it came to effective usage of energies. In the early stages, intelligent beings would use energies burnt from plants, and when civilization progressed, they would learn how to position the firewood so that the fire was used more productive. They would also learn to use the energy from rivers to operate machinery and tools that would save it, and later steam, electricity and nuclear energy. Each level of effective energy use was a leaping advancement for civilization—the wisdom from primeval burning to nuclear reaction has a common origin.
And that same principle even for extraordinary physicalities. At the moment, David had not much energy source apart from radiation from the ultimate Gamma Radiant Physique after using his Blood Nucleus to attack the Sunfire celestial’s energy core and mind hub.
His vampire body was the true core of his strength and almost about 70 percent of his true strength. Therefore if he wanted to return back to how he was, he needed massive amount of blood. But since the power of his vampire self is to consume, it doesn’t only stop at consuming blood, monsters core would also work too.
In an instant, as pale blood radiance flickered, as the core entered into his system.
In the first place, given David’s energy consumption, it would have been too demanding for a primitive core to distribute energy to a single organ, much less a few. However, thanks to the explosion in the Sunfire celestial’s body before, substantial energy ripples had begun to spread across all directions—the exceedingly rich energies hence allowed David’s body capability to operate above its parameters, fulfilling part of his needs.
Now that he had acquired an energy source, he did not stop his hand movements. Different animal cores kept appearing in his hands like a nuts as he consumed them rapidly.
Soon, there was a circle of energy-absorbing force akin to that of a vacuum tube gathering the energies around David with heightened effectiveness.
In an instant, the several thousand meters of space around David turned into vacuum devoid of energy, as inexhaustible forces began to recover more energy supply for his organs, allowing him to recover some mobility and a few of his abilities too.
It was a combustion and yet on a higher scale. Just as the heat generated from rocket fuel and firewood varied, the same principle holds true in that particular aspect of energy. David could finally breathe a sigh of relief when he had upgraded his body’s blood core to the level of star rank.
Right now, the once empty center of his chest had a hint of color that was flashing energy, and though it was nothing to speak of compared to the blood core that resembled a red diamond, it was a great development from before.
Nevertheless, David was too lazy to maintain the step-by-step upgrade. With the energy that was far sufficient now, he briskly activated his Ultimate Gamma Radiant Physique and rapidly combine the energies together.
Boom.
With a faint and almost undetectable blast, a blood core similar to a sun burst forth as if intent on breaking out of the warrior’s chest. However, restrained by his command, it integrated into the center of his chest. As the miniaturized blood core returning to his body, a crimson glimmer shot out as David opened his eyes.
After forty-five minutes, David reshaped his blood core and returned to the threshold of demigod. It was then that he had the strength to sense that decrepit Sunfire celestial that had flown half a light second away.
“Not dead yet?”
David could not help furrowing his brow once he detected the behemoth that was once a full humanoid but now half human shaped. He flexed his arms, while doing his best to regenerate the diamond body of his that was now riddled with holes by diverting the rather weak blood energy to prioritize on healing functions on combat components.
“I remembered that the chain reaction took out six energy cores and should have maimed the mind hub—”
Though that might be the case, since David could finish regenerating the Nuclear Heart Furnace in less than an hour, it was nothing out of the ordinary for the Sunfire celestial to stay alive with just two energy cores left. Still, it was a definite heavy injury considering that the original large Sunfire celestial had been forcefully blasted into a third of its shape with an entire portion missing, although the energy efficiency of its two remaining cores did not dull in comparison to David’s given how it could keep dragging its colossal body along. David hence decided—if he had the chance—he would try to learn about the construct of its energy core in order to become one too.
‘But why wouldn’t the Sunfire celestial grab the chance to kill me?’ David thought. Even if it might not be successful, it could at least try.
His expression then abruptly changed when his eyes sharpened into a slit in the direction where the Sunfire celestial was heading. “Where the hell is he fleeing to?!”
After a long battle, David and the Sunfire celestial had actually fought from the edge of the world to space and then had moved a few kilometers away from space. Just as he was contemplating on what the Sunfire celestial was trying to do by fleeing𝔬𝐕𝑙xt.𝑐𝗈𝔪
At that moment, an immeasurably powerful Force undulation suddenly emanated from the distant position, causing even David to shake slightly! It immediately to ignore his own weakened state and immediately turned around to flee, his heart pounded rapidly as the shockwaves boasted him forwards like a bullet.
