Hugging the unconscious Holy Maiden Sylvie Deva into the Ancient One's Palace, Aiden could no longer hold on either and was fainting.
He was too badly injured and had lost too much blood. His flesh and skin were burnt to a crisp and his organs were failing – he had already gone beyond his body's regeneration capabilities.
If he hadn't possessed such shocking vitality and unique origin, he would have long been dead.
In his daze, Aiden suddenly felt his hands get lighter.
A long ti later, he finally snapped out of his stupor. Enduring the imnse pain, he turned to his side with extre difficulty.
To his shock, the young girl he got transported with, the Holy Maiden who was initially lying in his embrace had disappeared!
*Bang!*
Before he had ti to think, his body shuddered and he collapsed onto the cold, hard ground with a throbbing headache!
Aiden struggled to sit up, wanting to look for Sylvie Deva. However, he caught sight of a hazy fog that was approaching him from not far away.
The fog billowed and surged over.
Just as it was about to arrive before him, the gray fog condensed into a hazy, humanoid figure. Although the person's face was old, he was energetic and his eyes had a wise, deep look as if he had seen through everything in the world.
Aiden was stunned on the spot.
He had not imagined that there would be a living being within this ancient palace!
The Ancient One's Palace was a relic of the ancient era and had been through countless years in the sands of ti where endless supre and mighty figures have been buried.
Ti was the scariest thing that even emperors could not defend against.
Who was that old man?
Was he a character from the ancient era or was he a martial artist who had entered the Ancient One's Palace later on but was trapped here?
Or perhaps, was this old man sohow related to that legendary, mythical traitor?! However, how could that be? How could he have a human appearance?
Aiden did not have the energy to contemplate those questions and neither could he hang on any longer as he collapsed. Gazing at the ceiling, he found his vision blurring.
The old man approached him and suddenly reached out.
Between his fingers was a small vial with a strange dark liquid inside of it; it gave off a faint sll of blood.
For so reason, the aura the elixir gave off felt extrely familiar to Aiden.
The old man peeled open Aiden's mouth and put the elixir inside.
Aiden had no strength to resist and the elixir lted in his mouth, sending a spicy warmth down his throat. Upon entering his stomach, it lingered for a mont before suddenly letting out a terrifying burst of energy!
The energy felt like a tidal wave as it surged and cruised through his limbs.
An intense blood qi shot forth, wrapping Aiden in it as an extrely rich aura of vitality spewed out. One after another, beams of rainbow lights shot out in a divine manner, nourishing every single bit of his flesh.
His body which was initially defeated was reignited with vitality!
His injuries healed internally and externally as his charcoal-black flesh peeled away. Pieces of flesh started regenerating on his bones with endless vitality.
It was a regrowth of his flesh!
This was a miracle almost akin to resurrection.
A numbing sensation prickled through Aiden's nerves, almost causing him to go insane.
"Ah!"
Aiden could not help but let out a long bellow.
The power within the elixir nourished his broken body like the way dew healed barren land. His dried flesh regrew and the tears on his organs closed, returning to normal.
Aiden's vitality was regenerating continuously.
With the help of that energy, his physique's strong regeneration capabilities were awakened once more as his blood qi ran rampant within his body.
Flesh could be seen growing at a visible speed near the wound on his abdon, forming in pieces before combining together, rely leaving a faint scar.
It was the sa for the injury on his left chest.
Although his collarbone was snapped earlier on, it was now piecing back together rapidly!
So ti later, cracks appeared on Aiden's charred skin and his scabs fell one after another, revealing jade-smooth skin beneath.
In the blink of an eye, all of his scabs had fallen off without any scars left behind as he emitted a massive wave of vitality.
All his injuries were healed!
That was not all the changes brought about by the elixir.
Not only did the elixir possess a massive vitality essence, but it also contained terrifying pure energy and pure spirit energy!
Initially, after such an arduous and long-drawn battle, almost all of Aiden's internal energy, his [Soul Power] has been used up, and his core was dry as a desert.
However, right now, pure wild energy was gushing in endlessly, forming a sea with massive waves that was even fiercer than before!
Along with it, Aiden's strength was also steadily rising and in no ti at all, he was at the late stage of the Martial Knight realm before long.
He did not even need to guide it.
The newly ford 'spiritual' sea surged and a series of pure, rich spirit energy pushed against his body, pushing him through a breakthrough!
*Bang!* *Bang!* *Bang!*
There were a series of loud bangs and almost no ti was wasted as the montum brought him through.
From the late stage, he was directly boosted to the peak state, ready to burst forth and just a shy away from breaking into another realm altogether.
Even after unlocking the breakthrough, his raging spirit sea inside his Primal Core did not calm down and was still roaring furiously!
His martial realm was still climbing!
A long ti later, it finally ca to a stop when he was at the very zenith, the peak of the Martial Knight ream, just a nudge away from breaking through to the Master realm!
At that mont, Aiden was finally certain.
Feeling his newfound strength of his Spiritual Energy, Aiden was excited. Whilst with his draconic heritage and constant absorptions, his physical body was incredibly strong and sturdy, his ntal and spiritual power always lagged behind. Only now could he feel that slowly, but surely he was finally catching up!
At the sa ti.
The terrifying energy in the elixir restructured Aiden's body as well.
*Crack!* *Crack!* *Crack!*
A series of crackling sounds echoed from within his body as his tendons and bones rang together. His [Soul Poer] climbed and he was surrounded by a thick draconic energy, causing multiple the visage of the earlier phantom to erge once more!
A mysterious golden glow burst forth and shone from his seven orifices, turning brighter and brighter!
A mont later.
Aiden's body shuddered and his seven orifices shone brightly. His [Soul Power] exploded and his skin, flesh, tendons, bones, marrow, organs, and orifices synergized with one another, forming a perfect heavenly cycle.
All of a sudden!
His eyes jolted wide open and a beam of light that tore through the night shot forth in a bedazzling manner.
Rising upright, Aiden felt his [Soul Power] rumble like a tsunami as a golden light shone from his organs. His major tendons were firm, his bones were lively and his flesh was flawless. Upon closer inspection, he could even see a mysterious luster cruising through them!
It was as though he had attained a perfect body!
Aiden could clearly sense that his body was different and his five senses were even more keen.
Without even opening his eyes, he could hear the sounds of fishes playing in a pond nearby as the image was visualized in his mind.
ek as a virgin with the burst power of a rabbit, his body was even more coordinated with the fusion of toughness and flexibility. With every single motion of his arm, he could produce limitless power with a rampant might!
"At this point of your growth, you would have perfected your technique and cultivated universal sight and hearing. With the help of the spiritual perception, you will be able to avoid danger without seeing or slling it. Be it whether you're moving, sitting, or lying down, your heart will be able to sense and you will be able to defeat your enemies within ten feet with your bare hands!"
Suddenly an aged, yet sohow familiar voice rang throughout Aiden's surroundings…
Looking at his brand new body, Aiden lanted to himself as he experienced the power surging within him, "The Ancient One's Palace is truly an ancient mythical object. To think that a single elixir from it would possess such wondrous effects!"
At that mont, Aiden's appearance had already returned to normal after being washed by the energy of the elixir. With his elegant features, he wore a set of green robes once more.
There was no one else around other than that mysterious old man who had disappeared.
Since his disguise thods were most probably child's play that would be seen through instantly in the eyes of the old man, Aiden had no intention of continuing with it.
He looked around and saw that the place was extrely spacious and boundless. Rather than a palace, it seed like they were in another world.
