" Absorb "
As soon as Jayden used the devouring technique, a large amount of energy emerged from the corpses, pills, potions and beast cores and entered his body.
Pills and potions disappeared, leaving behind their empty boxes and bottles, beast cores left empty balls, and only bones and skin were left from all the corpses.
As soon as the energy enters his body, jayden felts his body instantly heating up.

He felt as if his whole body was burning, and blood started to drop out from his nose.
[ Body refinement-3rd stage ]
[ Body refinement-4th stage ]
Energy rushed through his veins and entered his meridians, instantly opening his meridians and filling them with energy.
[ Body refinement- 5th stage ]
[ Body refinement-6th stage ]
[ Body refinement-7th stage ]
With each passing moment, the energy inside his body became more chaotic. Soon, unable to contain such a large amount of energy, his veins started to burst, creating a bloody scene.
" Ahhhhhhhhhhhh "
[ Body refinement-8th stage ]
[ Body refinement-9th stage ]
Then, all his meridians were opened and completely filled, but more and more energy kept rushing into them, making his meridians rupture, only to heal again and then burst open, which made him feel as if he was being shot continuously.
[ Qi Condensation-1st stage ]
[ Qi Condensation-2nd stage ]
Blood started to flow from his eyes, nose, mouth and ears. His fingers started to burst again and again, only to heal instantly. His screams died in between his gurgles as his mouth was filled with blood.
[ Qi Condensation-3rd stage ]
[ Qi Condensation-4th stage ]
[ Qi Condensation-5th stage ]
As a large amount of energy rushed into each part of his body, blood started to flow out of his skin, creating small pores throughout his body. Jayden felt as if thousands of needles were being pierced into his body.
[ Qi Condensation-6th stage ]
[ Qi Condensation- 7th stage ]
[ Qi Condensation-8th stage ]
Energy violently flowed through his hands; he screamed in pain when both of his arms blasted, painting everything around him red.
[ Qi Condensation-9th stage ]
[ Energy Transformation-1st stage ]
His organs started to burst, creating big holes throughout his body; his eyes widened when he felt his heart being ruptured, only to heal again and then burst immediately.
[ Energy Transformation-2nd stage ]
[ Energy Transformation-3rd stage ]
" Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh "
When energy rushed towards his head, he wailed in pain as both his eyeballs popped out with a blast. After a moment, he wasn't even able to scream as his throat burst open. Jayden was lying on the ground, writhing in pain.
[ Energy Transformation-5th stage ]
[ Energy Transformation-6th stage ]
[ Energy Transformation-7th stage ]
His limbs were being severed again and again as they blasted away from his body. His bones were being shattered continuously, creating a very painful cycle.
[ Energy Transformation-8th stage ]
[ Energy Transformation-9th stage ]
He felt all his energy being accumulated inside a small core. Just as the core was filled completely, cracks appeared on it, and it burst open with a small boom, creating a large hole in Jayden's stomach and chest, big enough to pass two football from one side to another, at the same time.
[ Core Formation-1st stage ]
[ Core Formation-2nd stage ]
Jayden stopped to feel any sensation as half of his head exploded, leaving only half of his face. Experiencing pain to such an extent, Jayden was unable to stay awake and soon fell unconscious.
[ Core Formation-3rd stage ]
[ Core Formation-4th stage ]

After an unknown amount of time, Jayden slowly opened his eyes. His whole body was drenched in blood and sweat, and he was lying in a large pool of blood.
His clothes were completely tattered, hiding nothing at all. More than a hundred dried corpses were lying around him, and a lot of empty boxes and bottles.
Jayden checked his cultivation, and his eyes widened with joy as he forgot all the pain he suffered just a few hours ago.

" It works, fuahahahahahahahaha," he said and then started to laugh maniacally.
" If you want to die so much, then just stop breathing; why take a chance while committing suicide. Look, you failed even in this; what a useless brat. " Anna's angered voice came, bringing Jayden out of his stupor.
" It was well worth it, don't you think so, my cute Anna? " Jayden said, acting coyly.
" Stop saying that, or I might kill you myself. You were able to survive only because of your healing ability, lucky bastard. "
" How could you kill me when you can't even move? " Jayden said while checking his body's condition.
" H-How do you know? " Anna asked
" Just a guess, but you confirmed it," he replied
Jayden noticed that his hunger Points had gone very low. He needed to increase them ASAP.
Around a week had passed since Jayden started to cultivate; it was almost time for the ritual. So, instead of going to the academy, he decided to head back to his kingdom and then go to the shadow Assassin's base.
He took out clothes from the storage ring; though they were a bit loose, he would have to do with them for now.
" Don't peek, okay? " Jayden said with a naughty smile.
" Haa, I don't even know what to say to you; just go. " Anna said while sighing.

After changing into new clothes, Jayden started to head back to his kingdom. He used the infernal steps technique, and with the increase in cultivation, his speed was much faster than before.
Within 5 minutes, he was back in his kingdom and was headed towards his castle. Soon, he was standing in front of his castle and walking slowly.
Just when he was about to enter, he met with Eleanor, who was coming out of the castle. A big smile appeared on her face as their gazes met.
" You're already back? Have you not gone to the academy? " Eleanor asked while tilting her head.
" No, something happened on the way, so I returned early," he replied
" Are you going somewhere? " Jayden asked
" No, just walking around," she replied.
Jayden thoughts for a moment and then said with a grin.
" Do you remember our bet? "
As soon as she hears his words, Eleanor's face turns red, and her heartbeat fastens.
" Are you going to ask the request now? " she asked with a shy expression.
" My request is going to be just a trivial thing, really. " Jayden replied
" What is it? " Eleanor asked with anticipation, while her heart was beating crazily.
" Um, just make sure Peter doesn't come near Alice. " Jayden said while observing her expression.
" Oh... o-okay. I will do that. " Eleanor replied with disappointment and sadness clearly showing on her face. She felt her heart getting heavy as her expectation got crushed.
Tears welled up in her eyes as her body trembled. She hoped he would ask her to be with him or something. Eleanor didn't want to show her teary face to Jayden, so she said.
" Then, I'll be leaving first. "
" Hahaha, wait, wait, that's a joke. Why would I waste such a great opportunity on something as useless as Peter? " Jayden said as he pulled Eleanor's arm.
" Then what is your request? " Eleanor asked, her expectation rising again. But she also dreaded the chance when he asks for something else. Eleanor knew Jayden had Alice, who was more beautiful than her, so she was saddened by thinking that she'll never have Jayden for herself.
But still, she was confident with her body, her face might not be as beautiful as Alice's, but she was also one of the most beautiful women amongst all the kingdom's around; also, my body have better curves than Alice's, she thought.
She waited for his reply patiently, her heart beat increasing with each passing moment.
" Be my wife. "
