Chapter 265: The "Miracle" (1/2)

Boom!

At the Crimson World where Seth and the Great Corruptor were, a gigantic quantity of crimson energy was coiling around Seth. The intensity of the power flowing towards him was so strong and the amount of it was so huge, that it was like he stood at the center of an energy star.

All of that was caused by how much energy that information he was receiving carried. Throughout the whole time, the Great Corruptor controlled everything perfectly, making sure that divine-like power was small enough to fit inside the body of a mortal.

All he did for Seth was nothing personal, but because Seth was the one that had survived. He would be the beginning of a new age, or the end of an old one.

Inside Seth's mind and body, everything was changing. Actually, it wasn't a change, but an adaption. He wasn't getting any stronger and his cultivation was not rising throughout the process, but the ancient information he was receiving would change his whole life.

Suddenly, the crimson energy circling him stopped completely.

The Great Corruptor lightly smiled and said: ”At last.”

With a wave of his hand, all that energy creating a colossal whirlwind out of corruption around him exploded, generating a blast that made all the corruption spread towards every corner of that corrupted world.

Seth's body was right at the center of all that activity, but it was just like he was bathing in a holy light. He wasn't being affected by that at all. In the middle of his chest, there was a red shard that golem had struck him with, still impaling him.

”Snort!” Seth looked towards it, feeling how low was the quality of the corruption energy that creature possessed and just by willing, the shard started to shrunk. His skin, bone and muscles grew once again, while using that energy as a fountain.

At the world outside, where time had stopped flowing, things slowly started to return to normal. Lan Xue looked towards Seth and she started to feel despair. When he received that hit, she was not unconscious and was able to perceive everything that was happening. She noticed his actions and how his situation had gone bad in just some few seconds. For her and everyone else inside that dark abyss, it was like a few seconds have passed and not three whole months.

Her body was still injured and many of her bones were still broken, since she received a hard hit from that crystal golem when they were still on the outside. That searing feeling of corruption spreading through her veins was getting really intense, but even so, she didn't stop trying to infuse her Mana inside Seth's body, hoping he would be able to recover faster.

In her panic, she tried to touch Seth's open wound, caused by that crimson shard piercing his body, drenching her hands on his blood. She hadn't noticed Seth's subtle movement of touching the gigantic spine, so inside her mind, he was thoroughly unconscious, when in reality, he was already about to stand.

Still inside that crimson world, Seth was now proudly standing before the Great Corruptor.

”How do you feel?”

Seth smiled and said: ”Good.”

His eyes were shining in an ominous red glow as he felt the closest he was able to feel until now, from the corruption. Right now, he was able to feel the concept, the essence of that thing called ”corruption”. He was able to feel how mythical it was and even though he wouldn't be able to touch all the concepts behind it yet, he was already deep enough to understand some things.

”I don't sense any fear coming from you anymore, but you have to keep one thing in mind. The Supreme Law of Corruption is not something for the weak and it will definitely not accept being controlled by someone that isn't strong enough, both physically and mentally.”

”I'll keep that in mind.”

”Very well. Time for you to leave, but before you go, there are some things you will need to do.” The Great Corruptor tapped on his throne and the world wall behind Seth shattered, revealing a screen that pictured the whole sub-space where his real body and Lan Xue were.

Suddenly, a crimson wave appeared in the sky, covering the whole abyss like a veil. Seth was able to feel hundreds of thousands of creatures opening their crimson eyes and looking towards the sky through the screen.
