Chapter 239: Body and Soul
After blanking out for who knows how long, He awakened his consciousness.
" What the hell was that? " An intense frown appeared on his face when he thought about what he experienced after he blanked out.
He had a strange dream, but he didn't remember much of it. The only thing he remembers from that dream is an eye. He remembers seeing a giant pair of eyes. These eyes looked mysterious, and both irises had beautiful patterns of black, white, and light gold.
Right at this moment, Athan felt something inside him. More like, Inside his soul.
He closed his eyes before he felt something similar to the clay he ate and activated it.
*Shuaaaa...*
Countless pure white strings blossomed from him and started to wrap him.
Athan was calm because he understood what was going on and simply closed his eyes.
After a few moments, He was wrapped entirely by the white strings and turned into a cocoon.
*Crack...*
After a long time or in a blink of an eye, No one knows how long, but the cocoon started to crack rapidly before it shattered utterly; Revealing the pure white and naked body of Athan.
The shattered fragments of the cocoon turned into white sparks before they disappeared inside Athan's body.
The current Athan looked very different from before. His pure white skin could produce envy from even the beautiful women, and his natural muscles and body shape looked heavenly.
His face was the peak of handsomeness, but his eyes and hair appeared strangely captivating. Athan didn't see his eyes yet, so he didn't know, but they looked similar to the pair of eyes he saw in his dream. Similar but not same because his irises had white and black mixed in a beautiful pattern, but there were no light gold patterns.
The color of his hair was neither black nor white but light grey. Their length reached his shoulders.
Athan moved his hands and legs and stretched them as he felt his new body.
He could feel the presence of his soul inside his body, but there was no soul realm, energy realm, or genesis realm like before.
He closed his eyes as he checked everything about his body with his soul sense.
Instead of the Soul realm, Genesis realm, or Energy realm, He felt a region inside him. Inside that region was his dark soul with a white border.
Athan controlled it, and his soul easily separated from his body, but he was dumbfounded when he looked at his body from his soul form.
He noticed his hairs and eyes and was shocked and embarrassed by his own perfect body.
" Damn...The body looked just like what I imagined it to be, and my dragon too. Wait...those eyes...They look kind of similar to the pair of eyes I saw in the dream. Strange..."
Athan's soul didn't stay outside for long and entered inside his body since he needed to know how powerful he currently was and if he can find a way out from this corrosive dark space.
" Hmmm...I currently have zero energy inside me, and I don't know how powerful my body is. "
After thinking for a few moments, Athan decided to punch aimlessly in this space to see if he could crack it and find out how strong his current body is.
" I also want to wear clothes but...sigh. I don't even have any energy which I could control to coat it around my body. "
Shaking his head, Athan threw out the useless thoughts and took a deep breath before he punched out with his right hand.
He used every inch of his physical power in this punch.
*BOOOOOOOM.....CRACK...*
A thunderous sound rang out along with cracks that started to spread in the corrosive darkness around his punch.
But the cracks were recovered in an instant so that Athan couldn't go outside through the cracks.
Athan's raised his dark eyebrows and muttered, " It looks like my physical power is not enough to get me out from here. "
" I need to get energy...But how? " Athan thought for a few moments, but in the end, he decided to do the thing he was supposed to do from the start.
He closed his eyes and entered into meditation. He wanted to understand his mutated soul and the power he managed to grasp.
When he fully entered into a deep state and observed his soul deeply, He found something mysterious.
His current mutated soul was very different from his previous soul. He can see strange patterns inside his soul. These patterns didn't describe any profound meanings, but Athan felt that...they were the internals of his soul, Just like how there are veins, cells, and organs of his physical body.
These patterns seemed completely white and were very indistinct inside his black soul.
Athan thought about using his soul energy. After all, He could feel that his new mutated soul also has soul energy.
He opened his eyes and looked at the corrosive darkness around him that wasn't affecting him in the slightest.
" Let's see..." Muttering this, Athan let out a small amount of his soul energy and was surprised by how it looked.
His soul energy looked like black energy with a white border just like his soul.
But right at the moment when he let out his soul energy, Athan was shocked and became ecstatic.
He...could feel his soul energy devouring the corrosive darkness. Not only that, But he also understood the properties of this corrosive darkness as he seemed to have comprehended a part of this corrosive darkness.
He closed his eyes and started to understand what was happening.
After a long time, He smirked as he finally found a way to gather this corrosive dark energy.
Athan closed his eyes and hurriedly started to channel the devoured corrosive dark energy inside his body.
He gathered this corrosive dark energy inside the region where his soul lay.
" Looks like I can gather this corrosive dark energy now, but I still need to find a way to cultivate and properly use it. " Athan thought about all of his training until the Spirit Astride plane as decided to try the different ways...Both conventional and unconventional.
