Rise of The Anti God

His soul cultivation of the Late Soul Transformation Stage now began to show astonishing improvements as his soul energy began to undergo a profound change along with his soul essence.

His soul energy began to become thicker while his bruised soul plane had completely healed by now, thanks to the rejuvenation of his soul essence and the strengthening of it, increasing his total soul essence to a staggering 80% from 55% after he had sacrificed a considerable amount of it to use Shadows of Time to save Valentina.

If Damien was conscious enough to be aware of this, he would have metaphorically cried tears of relief, not expecting such a turnaround of his poor soul essence. And now that his soul essence got strengthened, even the costs his forbidden abilities demand would be lesser than before.

This was the power of breaking into the Early Sublime Soul Stage! His soul now had entered a sublime state where his soul energy was now powered by pure thoughts and emotions, making it even more powerful.

Pure forms of emotions and thoughts held more potential to draw more power than mixed thoughts and emotions. This would allow one to channel their pure anger, fear, hatred, or any emotion to draw more power from their soul, which was not possible without entering this stage of soul cultivation.

*Pop!*

The sound of the space inside his ethereal core expanding echoed throughout Damien's body, marking his breakthrough in entering the Sky Ethereal Realm!

His liquid ethereal core had become denser and thicker while his elemental lightning seed had become more vigorous, crackles of electricity running through its surface while his fire elemental seed had become fierier, yet not many big changes took place.

However, other than these two elemental seeds, a new third one was present along with them…an azure elemental seed that looked icy yet glimmering like the oceans. This was Damien's new Ice elemental seed, a higher version of water elemental seed, all due to Damien possessing Yohr's Origin Seed, granting him the power to manipulate water and ice.

Yohr's Origin Seed had now completely become Damien's and had brought about profound changes throughout his body. Even his bone marrow, bones, and blood had completely been replaced by that of an ancient divine bloodline which was the progenitor of the dragon and serpent race.

It wouldn't be a lie to say that Damien was the legitimate successor of the progenitor of both these races since he technically got Yohr's legacy, at least the most important part of it.

Damien's understanding of the Ethereal Way had reached a new height by possessing the azure Origin Seed, allowing his body and soul to undergo such tremendous changes and would continue to do so as long as he continues to cultivate without having to worry about bottlenecks. It wouldn't be wrong to say that him possessing two Origin Seeds was slightly overkill in terms of at least worrying about bottlenecks in cultivation.

*Crack!*

The cracks on the ice cocoon began to spread at a faster rate, making Kalypso rub her hands together in nervousness and anticipation, knowing that whatever changes were taking place in Damien's body and soul should have been over by now. Since she was connected to Damien's soul, she was able to sense the extensive improvements that took place across his soul, making her feel even happier. And the fact that her strength would increase along with his just made it better. 

After all, Spirit Weapons derived most of their power from their hosts or masters. The only limiting factor of their growth was their own potential.

*CRACK!*

The ice cocoon finally broke apart to reveal a naked man lying inside it, his body in the same position as a baby in a mother's womb.

However, his eyelids twitched as he slowly opened his eyes, regaining control of his body, and tried to get up.

Luna's brows slightly raised while Kalypso's lips unconsciously parted with a stupefied look on her face as the two saw the man before them slowly get up and stand on his feet.

Damien's body had undergone visible changes, especially his height, which had increased to 190cms from his previous height of 177cms!

His starry black eyes no longer looked like a youngster aspiring to comprehend the Ethereal Way but a man who had taken a glimpse at the mysterious secrets of the universe.

His skin had a pure and radiant glow to it in addition to its flawless surface like that of pure ice.  Even his facial features had become more sharp and refined to the point he seemed like a scholar who had traveled to the immortal realm and came back with a higher mind filled with divine comprehension of the world around him.

His devilish charms had reached a new height to the point he could make women swoon with just a glance from his sharp sword-like eyes.

His body still looked slim, yet his shoulders and chest had become broader, his pecs had become more muscular, and he now had chiseled ten-pack abs that could make any girl feel hot just by looking at such a spectacular work of divine art.

Overall, his appearance had become too fatally charming, making even Luna bat her beautiful eyelashes for a moment, especially when she unconsciously looked down, wondering why she was getting affected by his appearance. It was not as if a supreme goddess like her could care more about such superficial things. Yet, when she saw the divine sword under his waist, she couldn't help but think if he really turned into some kind of beast.

This only made her feel annoyed as she said in a cutting tone, "How long are you going to flaunt your useless junk before us?"

"Master…you are naked…" Kalypso said in a low voice as she awkwardly looked away, not wanting to disrespect her Master by staring at his 'thing' any longer, though she wondered why she couldn't get rid of that forbidden image from her mind.

Damien, who was still basking in the pleasant and soothing sensation of his rebirth, got out of his daze upon hearing Luna's piqued voice and hearing Kalypso say that he was naked.. Only then he realized that his clothes got destroyed during this process and quickly put on the robes he could find from his soul space while chuckling, "Sorry about that, ladies."
