Cultivation Through Artifacts

[You have consumed 173 Beast Essence!]

[You have consumed 241 Beast Essence!]

[You have consumed 205 Beast Essence!]

[You have...]

Walking from one spot to another, Khal consumed each and every one of the floating essences around him with a gleeful expression, his eyes incapable of hiding his true feelings at the moment.

In a span of half an hour, which in truth felt like only a few minutes for Khal, all of the 426 essences were consumed without a problem, pushing both his units of Body and Beast Essence to never before seen heights!

Just with the first 100, his Beast Essence has already reached the peak, hence letting him transform the remaining 326 and use them to increase his Body Essence, which although felt slightly painful, was not as unbearable as it was back in the First Realm.

? Body Essence: 167,436

? Cultivation Stage: Body Temperer

Khal stared blankly at the words of light in front of his face. Despite having a clear understanding of just how his transformation skill worked and just how much essence did he consume on average, it was still shocking to see his amount of Body Essence break through the 100,000 mark so easily.

"Wait... Now that I have so much, it means I can develop one of my techniques, right?" Khal immediately waved his hand and opened his Secret Art Improver to see just what he can improve with close to 170,000 units of Body Essence.

Swish!

In a blink, all of the techniques he has learned in the past appeared in his line of sight one after another, including even some that Khal has never seen before and is the first time to see them.

"Haha! This is absolutely fantastic! Because of my Imitation Talent, it seems anything I have seen and learned will become recorded here and can be further improved!" Khal couldn't help but laugh out loud while holding a wide grin that made one think that he became a complete idiot all of a sudden.

However, his joy only lasted for a couple of seconds before getting destroyed mercilessly by the harsh reality.

Khal stared with a blank face at the rows of contexts in his line of sight, feeling rather stupefied by both the improved versions of each technique and the amount of Body Essence he has to use and spend to obtain them!

"This is fucking ridiculous!" Khal spat a curse out loud after a moment of silence and looked at the amount once again to make sure he was not seeing things, but alas, the amount he just saw was indeed right, and he could buy none of them.

Or at least he could obtain a few, those that he has learned back in the First Realm, his Ghost Slice and Jade Tombstone, while his Dance of The Celestial Serpent was still out of question, as it was even more expensive than the rest by at least four times!

It was fricking 1,000,000 units of Body Essence!!

ONE FUCKING MILLION UNITS!!!!

Does anyone have a single clue just how great an amount that was? With one million units, no matter if the enemy had beings on the Fourth or Fifth Stage, Khal was confident he would be able to single-handedly wipe out an entire race without breaking a sweat!

That fact was as sure as the sun will rise from the east and not from the west!

Thinking about this, Khal quickly took a deep breath to calm his racing heart down, and soon showed a confident smile that told that he has already thought about what he should do next.

"I still have one thousand Essence Pills, each of them being High-Quality ones! Also, I am rather sure there are even more back in their headquarters, so there is no reason for me to get angry over the needed amount, right?"

As Khal thought about it he shifted his gaze toward a specific direction and after curving his lips upward he vanished from his spot.

On Planet Night, where darkness ruled over everything endlessly since the creation of time, inside an enormous facility that was built from a dark material called Soul Obsidian, an old creature with features to that of a Night Crawler sat calmly on a huge throne inside a spacious hall where the only source of light was the small torches on the walls.

The creature actually was the Alpha, the King of the Night Crawler Race and his name was King Zell, a powerful expert who reached the peak of the Fifth Cultivation Stage and was close to ascending into the Third Realm.

"Tell me everything that happened, leaving out no detail." King Zell talked quietly, with a tone that could put one's mind at ease, but if one listened closely, one would realize that his voice held a hint of hidden and deep rage, one that couldn't be extinguished until someone's blood was not spilled!

"Yes, my Lord!" a Night Crawler who was clad in silver armor and was kneeling in front of King Zell, lowered his head and began to talk without hesitation.
