[Congratulations Host! For Cultivating To Peak Apex Stage]

[Rewards:

<<Abyssal Demon Blood>>

A primordial bloodline born from the depths of the Abyss, carrying an ancient and terrifying demonic essence.

The blood greatly enhances host’s vitality, regeneration, physical strength, and demonic energy. Ordinary demonic energy is naturally refined when it enters host’s body, allowing him to cultivate faster while maintaining an exceptionally pure and powerful foundation.

The true power of the Abyssal Demon Blood lies in its adaptability. The more powerful the energy host encounters, the more his blood gradually evolves to accommodate and assimilate it.

At higher realms, the blood can awaken deeper abilities, allowing host’s blood to become corrosive to hostile spiritual energy and suppress weaker demonic bloodlines through sheer bloodline pressure.

<<Eternal Battle Soul>>

A supreme soul constitution forged for endless combat.

The Eternal Battle Soul gives host extraordinary battle comprehension, instinct, concentration, and some resistance to mental and soul-based attacks. His mind remains exceptionally clear even in prolonged battles, allowing him to fight without being overwhelmed by fear, pain, killing intent, or pressure.

Its greatest ability is combat evolution.

Every battle leaves an imprint upon his soul. By experiencing an opponent’s techniques, movements, killing intent, and battle rhythm, host gradually understands them.]

"Oh, something like the Myriad Battle Flow? Interesting..."

[Chaos Flames Intent (Lvl.3) → (Lvl.4)]

[Spiritual Root: Chaos Flame (Primordial) → (Progenitor)]

[Law Of Fire (Lvl.5) → (Lvl.6)]

As he got up, Cale realized his soul armor was damaged far too much. His soul had taken such immense damage that it wasn’t forming back properly on its own.

Sighing, he used the complete heal, repairing his entire body and soul. He reformed the soul armor quickly.

"Hmm, now it’s good," he nodded with satisfaction.

’Obsession for something is indeed better than filth like motivation.’

To think he’d even gained two new elements for his constitution and unlocked the next stage of his concept — the Law of Ink Sword too. The rewards were indeed quite staggering.

[New Title: Immeasurable Predator]

He frowned.

"Are you calling me a glutton or something? I don’t eat that much, okay..."

Then again, other than food, he did devour tens of other things normal humans didn’t, so such a title made sense.

"Alright, alright..." Saying that, he left to meet Sesrir.

It was time for the hard part now.

Before claiming the Astral Sovereign body, he needed to recreate a body above the skeleton — something resembling his own form so it would help with possession and integration later.

And the process was... well...

"...To use heavenly lightning through an array and create a true divine lightning body."

So Cale would have two kinds of bodies in one; a body of an Astral Sovereign, and the same body cultivated through the lightning of heavenly tribulations.

Absurd as it was, if completed, the benefits would be absolutely insane.

In the technique scroll, it was called the Eternal Tribulation-Eating Tyrant Body.

As the name suggested, it would consume tribulations in the future, helping Cale avoid them entirely. Hell, not just avoid them — those tribulations would actually make the body stronger, using them as fuel for further evolution.

He spent the next few hours in the inner sanctum stabilizing himself and learning the technique thoroughly. One mistake would mean death.

After he came outside, he met Sesrir and retrieved the Astral Sovereign skeleton from his storage.

Now, he created the formation.

Placing the body at the center of the formation on open ground, with five stone platforms positioned around it, the drawn array lines created a perfect star shape. Each pillar was inscribed with runic texts, designed to channel and direct heavenly lightning at the center.

’It should at least look a bit like me... right? I won’t make it an exact replica though.’

If he succeeded in creating a true divine thunder body, every single movement would manifest as lightning itself. From moving a single finger to changing the direction he looked, all would happen impossibly faster than before.

Not just that — every single movement would leave traces of lightning behind. His speed would likely rival or even exceed Boundless Level cultivators.

"Well, all that’s left is for this to succeed."

Sighing, he stood atop one of the five pillars, positioning himself at the apex of the star formation.

Sesrir stood several meters outside the entire structure, keeping a safe distance from the madman.

Genesis would be invaluable for creating this body, and would definitely increase his chances of success. Since even the Sea Serpent King had failed and died while attempting such a body, every advantage was helpful now.

He had lightning affinity too, which was a significant plus.

At this point, every single advantage was making him more hopeful for success.

’Heh, grabbing lightning and throwing it on a skeleton? People would call me mad...’

Floating in the air, he activated the formation.

It erupted to life, glowing in deep blue and white, crackling with hints of violet lightning that danced between the runes.

He looked at Sesrir and grinned.

"Jump in if it looks like I’m in danger."

Sesir snorted back.

"Yeah? No! Thank you. I love my life very much!"

"Sigh, what kind of partner are you..."

Hovering silently over the skeleton, Cale instantly felt a heavy, oppressive shift in the realm’s atmosphere.

The dark, boundless expanse above him began to violently churn and twist, replacing the stagnant abyss with a sprawling, turbulent vortex of storm-grey clouds.

The flag formation pillars towering around his floating figure flared to life, their etched runes pulsing with a fierce, luminescent energy that resonated with the gathering heavens above.

High above, the churning tempest slowly split open, revealing something magnificent and terrifying.

A mesmerizing, ethereal blue light condensed into a ghostly, swirling silhouette amidst the dark heavens — the manifestation of heavenly will itself, preparing to descend.

Cale remained still, his newly stabilized core humming in deep resonance with the majestic phenomenon unfolding in the sky.

’Well... here it is. Wish me luck.’

Bathed in the pale, descending glow of the storm, he narrowed his eyes and watched intently, preparing every ounce of his being...

[Good Luck!]
