93 Dyeing the River Red (2/2)
The more exaggerated the rumors got, the more apprehensive Adilis got. He was confident in himself, but he knew that Arnin would be a tough opponent, especially since he had broken through into a new realm.
”Maybe only those real geniuses could handle this monster.” Although he himself was a genius, he knew that he was nothing but an ant compared to the top ten, even the top fifteen were much much stronger than him.
With a deep sigh, he grabbed the girls arm and walked away. ”H-hey!”
-------------------------------------
Since he was in deep cultivation, he didn't know about the couple who were talking about him, but he wouldn't care too much about it either.
He was looking at his orb and damaged threads while he about how to heal them and isolate the water. 'If only I could find a way to let the water touch my orb directly.' He couldn't help but sigh.
He tried to open his mouth underwater and see if he could forcefully swallow some of the water, but that wasn't helping him. If he could allow the orb to directly touch the water, that could solve most of his problems. He would be able to heal his body with lightning speed.
Suddenly, a thought came to his mind. 'What if I forcefully tear open my chest? Wait, that is too damaging and there is a risk of this water doing more harm to me if I take such a path.' He couldn't help but shake his head. He would have torn open his chest, but there would be a high chance of dying just by the loss of damage or too much damage to his body.
There was a method that he used too 'borrow' the water from the Great Light Lake in the past, but that method was too difficult to use, plus his strength was much high then it was now. Back then, with his control over space is extremely high, he was able to isolate a large amount and transfer it through space tears and black holes, but he couldn't do that currently.
He began to think deeper and see if there was another solution, suddenly another thought struck him. 'That's it! I can use that to heal myself.' His face began to show excitement once more.
Back then, he created a seed right before being injured. This seed was what he called the Seed of Rebirth. Not only did it cause him major damage, but it also saved his life too. If he could somehow communicate with his Seed of Rebirth and allow it to absorb the water from the Elemental River, then there was an extremely high chance that he could be healed completely.
His Seed of Rebirth had made many movements after him being injured, such as awakening the Runic Eye and even strengthening his body to a new level, but after that, it never reappeared.
Using his internal vision, he quickly located the dormant Seed of Rebirth. He tried to ignite its power, but it wouldn't move. Then another thought came to him. 'Let me try and direct my threads towards the Seed of Rebirth and pour in some of the essences from the river into it.'
Arnin began to slowly absorb the pure and rich essence inside the river, pouring it directly into the Seed of Rebirth. A small light flashed from the Seed of Rebirth. 'It's working!'
Absorbing the river essence as fast possible, he poured everything into the Seed of Rebirth. The light got more and more prominent.
Suddenly, a white and black light escaped from the Seed of Rebirth. Seeing this, Arnin couldn't help but feel excited. Both of the lights began to surround his body and his orb. Outside, a white and black beam escaped his body.
”What's that?”
”What the hell is going over there? What's with that kid?”
”Is he breaking through? No way, that is not what a breakthrough looks like.”
People looked over in shock, only to see Arnin covered in black and white light. His face was getting paler by the second, however, his aura was slowly rising.
Inside his body, Arnin's threads were healing at a rapid pace. The healing could be seen with the naked eye.
*BLUERG*
Suddenly, a large amount of blood gushed out of Arnin's mouth. His body began to slowly thin. The white light began to surround his bloodstream and the light turned green. Rather, it was the same situation as last time he went through Samsara. The white light was inserting the green Vitality into his orb and threads.
'This is bad, the white light is taking vitality through my bloodstream. If this goes on, then I will really die.' Arnin panicked as he opened his eyes. The process didn't stop even though he stopped cultivating, rather it sped up and absorption was going faster.
”BLOOD! I NEED BLOOD” He howled loudly as his thin figure rushed towards the closest person. With his mouth open, he bet the person neck, separating the neck and body. The blood essence from the body was absorbed in an instant leaving only a red patch in the river. ”MORE, THIS IS NOT ENOUGH!”
With his body absorbing his blood essence quickly, he needed to fill his body with more blood essence in order to maintain an equilibrium.
He jumped at the next person and devoured his blood essence. And then the next. Then the next. He was on a complete rampage.
”AH! RUN THIS GUY IS GOING CRAZY!”
”DON'T RUN, KILL HIM!”
”EVERYONE GET AWAY FROM HIM, HE IS TOO STRONG!”
Havoc appeared in the river as Arnin ran around killing anyone in sight. People were either running or attacking Arnin. Some were even in the top hundred, but none could kill Arnin. Most couldn't even get close to him before being killed.
”Don't attack him, he is not thinking straight right now. Just get away from him and you should be safe.” Adilis and some other people in the top fifty appeared and began to direct the people away from Arnin. Currently, the aura he released was too strong for even them.
”We will take care of him when he settles down, right now he is probably releasing every strength in his body.” One of them spoke silently to Adilis. The latter nodded his head heavily as he heard the screams of others and saw the Elemental River slowly become red. Even though blood wasn't falling into the Elemental River like it would in a normal river, but then the blood still floated on top, creating the facade of a red river.
