Chapter 267 266: Black Star
Inside a Evolution Center was a figure that was drenched in blood. The figure's bones and body were twisted in a way mortals could never imagine.
The figure's skin had countless porcelain cracks running all over it, making the figure resemble a cracked and broken mannequin.
If one observed the facial expression of the figure, one would notice the reluctance and dissapointment the figure had moments before its death.
The right index finger of the figure shook slightly, and a few seconds later, a black and white light enveloped the figure.
The figure's bones snapped back to their original position, and a powerful heartbeat resounded from the figure's chest.
The porcelain cracks on the figure disappeared, and the air shook as the figure's body trembled.
A few minutes later, a long and deep exhale escaped the figure's lips, and with a tremendous jerk, the figure sat up.
"HUUU! HAAHHH!"
The figure exhaled, and a face that possessed a devilishly, otherworldly, and extremely handsome face showed itself to the world.
The figure looked around, his light blue and deep violet eyes contained a confused light.
Some seconds passed, and the confusion in his eyes turned to exhilaration.
"I'M BACK!"
"I'M BACK FROM THE FUCKING DEAD!"
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
Corey laughed so much and hard to the point that he started coughing violently.
[Took you long enough.]
A familiar feminine voice that contained a tinge of dissatisfaction rang out in his mind, and Corey's eyes brightened slightly.
"How long did I spend in that world?"
Corey questioned, expecting to hear hours, days, or even a month.
[Two minutes.]
"..."
Corey's lips twitched.
"Then why do you sound annoyed and dissatisfied?"
[Do you think you'd be able to last so long without me and your celestial mana veins?]
[You were in a half dead state.]
[If I didn't preserve your heart from beating its last, you'd have truly died.]
[You even used those cursed sabers that almost took your life as well.]
[Luckily the energy in the finger was enough. Well… more than enough I guess.]
Corey's expression became slightly solemn when he heard Nina's words.
He knew he had truly died when he found himself in the dark space. He didn't know how he knew, but he just knew.
He thought maybe him destroying the black gate and white chains were what brought him back from the dead. But from Nina's words, he would have truly died if it wasn't for her.
"Thank you."
Although Corey had no way of knowing if Nina's words were truly correct, he was still grateful for all the help she had given him regardless.
Nina did not bother responding to his words of appreciation, and Corey did not feel offended.
"By the way, was that a tribulation of hell? And am I already a tier 2?"
Corey questioned as he felt his new strength which was on a whole other level.
His current strength made him feel like he could defeat ten of his previous self with ease.
His entire physical strength, mana quantity and quality was so much better than his previous self, that the only time Corey felt such a huge change in his strength was when he became a Demi-Paragon.
For such a huge increase in his strength, Corey guessed that the dark space, and black gate was a tribulation of hell, and he had overcome it, thereby becoming a tier 2.
He had subsconciously pushed the thought that him maxing out his stats could produce such a huge change in his body.
[Fool. How can the tribulation of hell be so easy to pass?]
[Check your status screen.]
Nina replied, with her tone containing disdain and contempt for Corey's foolish view on the tribulations of hell.
A baffled expression appeared on Corey's face, and without saying anything, he opened his status screen.
The instant he opened his status screen, he subconsciously moved his head to the back when he realized that there were countless messages from the Universal System.
[WARNING! WARNING! WARNING!]
[A FOREIGN AND IMMENSE AMOUNT OF ENERGY HAS BEEN DISCOVERED!]
[FOREIGN ENERGY IS BEING USED TO STRENGTHEN THE INDIVIDUAL!]
[INDIVIDUAL IS ATTEMPTING TO SURPASS THE IMPOSED UNIVERSAL LIMIT.]
[ATTEMPTING TO EXTERMINATE THE ENERGY.]
[OPERATION FAILED DUE TO AN UNKNOWN INTERFERENCE.]
[THE INDIVIDUAL'S POWER LEVEL IS RISING.]
[INDIVIDUAL HAS BREACHED THE LIMITS.]
[CODE BLACK! CODE BLACK! CODE BLACK!]
[ATTEMPTING TO EXTERMINATE THE INDIVIDUAL!]
[SHUTDOWN AND ERASURE OF THE INDIVIDUAL'S ENTIRE EXISTENCE SHALL COMMENCE!]
[OPERATION HAS TEMPORARILY FAILED DUE TO AN UNKNOWN INTERFERENCE!]
[INDIVIDUAL HAS ARRIVED BEFORE @#$$#$^*]
....
The list of messages kept on increasing, and a solemn expression appeared on Corey's face as he realized that he probably done something which by all means should have left him dead.
He was absolutely sure that if not for Nina he would be a dead man by now.
"That was close."
Corey wiped away a non-existent sweat from his forehead, then his eyes landed on a particular text from the Universal System.
[CONGRATULATIONS. YOU HAVE ATTAINED THE TITLE: LIMIT BREAKER]
[LIMIT BREAKER: YOU ARE ONE OF THE FEW IN HISTORY THAT HAS BROKEN AN IMPOSED UNIVERSAL LIMITS. UNKNOWN BENEFITS WOULD BE AVAILABLE TO YOU AFTER REACHING A CERTAIN POWER LEVEL.]
[GOOD LUCK.]
Corey had a strange expression as he read the description of his new title. The title did not give him any immediate benefits at the moment. Only when he reached a certain power level would he gain the benefits of the title.
Corey did not know why the Universal System wanted to give him the benefits of the 'Limit Breaker' title now, but he guessed he would find out later in the future.
Corey looked away from his new title, then he looked at the remaining information on his status screen.
There were no changes to his skills, but when he looked at his attributes, a dazed expression appeared on his face.
