Chapter 118 118: Creating His Own Path - 3

Damian had managed to use his extraordinary talents to combine [Prana], [Apana], [Samana], [Udana], and [Vyana] into a single, unified energy, creating a new kind of power called [Ayuda Essence].

The [Ayuda Essence] possesses the capabilities of all five energies but is even stronger than them individually, as each energy enhances the others while maintaining perfect harmony and balance.

Upon achieving this fusion, the unique constitutions he had developed from obtaining each of the five energies also merged into one under the effects of his other constitution, [Unyielding Warrior's Physique].

His constitutions [Prana Heart], [Apana Body], [Samana Core], [Udana Mind], and [Vyana Vessels] combined to form a new, superior constitution known as [The Ayudic Body].

Not only did Damian retain all the abilities he possessed before the fusion, but they had also grown significantly stronger.

After obtaining [The Ayudic Body], Damian set out to do the same with the [Nine Elemental Essences].

He successfully merged [Fire Essence], [Water Essence], [Earth Essence], [Wind Essence], [Wood Essence], [Ice Essence], [Lightning Essence], [Light Essence], and [Darkness Essence], creating a new energy called [Nature Essence].

Due to this fusion, the nine elemental constitutions he had previously possessed, [Eternal Earth Flame Physique], [Eternal Sacred Heart Physique], [Eternal Sea Sovereign Physique], [Unbreakable Terra Titan Physique], [Relentless Tempest Sovereign Physique], [Indomitable Ice King Physique], [Unstoppable Lightning Warrior Physique], [Eternal Light Guardian Physique], and [Eternal Darkness Guardian Physique], merged into a single, brand-new constitution.

This newly formed constitution retains all the capabilities of the previous nine while being even stronger, as each elemental essence enhances the others in a continuous cycle of perfect harmony and fusion.

-Grants you access to a unique form that combines all the capabilities of the nine elemental essence forms into a single form: [Nature's Wrath]]

This was probably the most powerful ability Damian possessed right now, and if he activated the [Nature's Wrath] form, just imagine the destruction he could unleash.

This should be more than enough for Damian to go up against the vampire faction, but it was still nowhere close to what he truly desired.

He had grown so much, so much that no one in the First Tower Realm could hold a candle to him.

Even if he ascended to the Second Tower Realm, he would still be among the strongest Awakeners.

So what?

For Damian, this was nowhere near enough.

He wanted more power.

He needed more power.

And nothing was going to stop him from obtaining what he desired.

As soon as Damian fused the elemental essences to create [Nature Essence], he shifted his focus toward two energies that represented the opposing forces of the universe: the Negative Side and the Positive Side.

These were the [Holy Essence] and the [Dark Essence].

The [Holy Essence] was one of the many representatives of the Positive Side of the universe, directly countering the [Dark Essence], which embodied the Negative Side.

In the case of [Ayuda Essence], the five energies that comprised it belonged to the same family.

Even if they required special conditions to fuse, they were still non-opposing energies.

They wouldn't try to devour or cancel each other out.

But the [Holy Essence] and the [Dark Essence] were an entirely different story.

They were complete polar opposites, unable to coexist without attempting to annihilate each other.

They wouldn't fuse like other energies did.

But that didn't mean Damian was going to stop trying.

He wouldn't stop.

Even if he failed, it wouldn't deter him in the slightest.

Using his unnaturally extraordinary control, amplified by the State of Epiphany he was in, Damian manipulated both energies.

Silvery-white [Holy Essence] flowed from the [Holy Essence Core], while purplish-black [Dark Essence] emerged from the [Dark Essence Core].

With both cores positioned on either side, the energies began to concentrate at a single point.

[You are attempting to forcefully fuse [Holy Essence] of the Positive Side and [Dark Essence] of the Negative Side to create a new energy.]

[This action goes against the natural order of the universe. This action will bring chaos upon you.]

Damian didn't even register the system's warning.

As established before, under the State of Epiphany, nothing else mattered to him.

His goal was the only thing his mind and soul acknowledged.

This was just like the time he first obtained [Holy Essence] and [Dark Essence].

The system had warned him then, and it was warning him now.

Every being in the universe was associated with either the Positive or Negative Side, and they could only wield powers that corresponded to their alignment.

Take Maria, for example.

She possessed [Holy Essence], which made her a being of the Positive Side.

If she hadn't been associated with the Positive Side yet still wielded [Holy Essence], the very power she held would have imploded within her, as it went against the fundamental nature of [Holy Essence] to be wielded by someone from the Negative Side.

A great example of this rule was angels and fallen angels.

Angels were beings of the Positive Side and were able to wield [Holy Essence].

But the moment they fell from grace and lost their connection to the Positive Side, they automatically became associated with the Negative Side.

As a result, they lost the ability to wield [Holy Essence] and instead gained the ability to wield [Dark Essence].

This was an absolute rule. No one could be associated with both sides of the universe.

Attempting to break this balance would result in chaos.

And since breaking the rule was a violation of the natural order, the punishment for doing so was inevitable.

Before Damian extracted [Holy Essence] from Maria and her sisters, he was already associated with the Positive Side of the universe.

Thus, obtaining [Holy Essence] did not cause any issues.

However, a problem arose when he attempted to obtain [Dark Essence] as well.

At that time, the system had bombarded him with warnings.

Simply having two opposing energies running through the same energy circuits was dangerous enough.

But this was even more reckless; he wasn't just trying to wield both at once.

He was trying to fuse them into one.

He sought to create a brand-new type of essence, one that perfectly contained the abilities of both [Holy Essence] and [Dark Essence].

[Your talent [Rule Breaker] is taking effect.]

[The [Holy Essence] and the [Dark Essence] are beginning to fuse and condense into a new energy core.]

After several minutes, the two opposing energies finally condensed into a new energy core, one that shimmered with a grey hue.

[You have broken the most significant rule of the universe without bringing chaos upon the order and balance.]

[The nature of your very being has begun to change.]

[You have successfully become the first person in the universe to be associated with both the Positive and Negative Sides.]

[You have taken the first step toward ascending beyond the known limits.]

[You have successfully created a core that embodies both [Holy Essence] and [Dark Essence].]

[You have created an unregistered Energy Core ???]

As soon as the grey-colored core was formed, Damian used [Holy Essence] to establish an energy circuit between the newly created core and the [Holy Essence Core], allowing energy to flow between them.

Then, he did the same with the [Dark Essence Core], using [Dark Essence] to create a connection.

As soon as he completed the energy stream, both [Holy Essence] and [Dark Essence] began flowing into the newly created core, fusing together to generate a brand-new energy, one that was grey in color and possessed the full capabilities of both essences.

[The [Holy Essence] and [Dark Essence] have fused, creating a previously unknown and unregistered energy.]

[Your talent [World Tree's Avatar] is taking effect.]

[You have gained perfect attunement with the newly created energy.]
