Dimensional Keeper: All My Skills Are at Level 100 Chapter 1520 Opening the Second Vein - Vein of Vitality
Previously on Dimensional Keeper: All My Skills Are at Level 100...
As soon as Max stepped into the training chamber, he wasted not a single instant.
This cultivation-designed chamber featured formations carved into its floors and walls, steadying spiritual energy while blocking any outside interference. Still, Max had zero plans to use it straight away.
A mere thought later, his form disappeared.
His awareness shifted, pulling him into the Dimension of Time.
Within this enigmatic realm, the scenery stayed unchanged as ever. Boundless white expanse extended infinitely in all directions. The flat, barren ground underfoot contrasted with the sky's soft luminescence, infusing the space with serene, eternal tranquility.
Max settled cross-legged onto the vacant floor.
He paused in silence, mentally sifting through all his recent gains from the last few days.
"I have several inheritance techniques to master," he murmured softly to himself. "I also have to open the divine veins of the Seven Divine Veins and continue increasing my strength."
His to-do list stretched impressively long.
Though his cultivation now hit the third level of the Rebirth Realm, the path forward loomed endlessly vast. To rival Divine Realm geniuses and eventually challenge the Elven Race, his power growth demanded a frightening speed.
While sorting his plans, a fresh thought popped up.
"Right," Max whispered, his gaze sharpening a bit. "I also need to examine the five fruits that the flaming branch of the Chaos Tree produced."
The Chaos Tree in his core had evolved multiple times already. That flaming branch and its fruits promised massive boosts to his cultivation path. Probing them, though, demanded dedicated time and concentration.
Max shook his head gently.
"But first I will open the second divine vein," he declared resolutely.
His expression turned grave as he uttered the following.
"The Vein of Vitality."
With a quick gesture, a storage ring materialized before him.
This came from Lady Virelia's earlier gift.
Max accessed the ring and extracted its contents with care.
A bone radiating red light emerged in his grasp.
It hailed from the Horn Dragon.
Without even probing with spiritual sense, Max sensed the intense draconic aura locked inside. A subtle crimson radiance pulsed from it, brimming with lingering vitality like the dragon's life force refused to fully extinguish.
Max drew a steady breath, steadying his thoughts.
This time around, unlike before, he skipped straight-up devouring the bone via his black flames.
In earlier cultivation stages, he'd have burned such treasures directly to pull out their essence. But now, something superior lay at his disposal.
The Overlord Body Codex.
This method held precise instructions for unlocking the Seven Divine Veins and harnessing various materials to awaken them.
Max shut his eyes, drawing up the codex's knowledge.
Per the Overlord Body Codex, awakening the Vein of Vitality demanded vast life force alongside a body of supreme toughness. It entailed refining potent biological essence internally and channeling it to the second divine vein.
The Horn Dragon bone fit ideally.
Dragons boasted unmatched vitality and recovery prowess. Even bone shards packed phenomenal life essence.
Max positioned the luminous bone in front of him cautiously.
Next, he activated the Overlord Body Codex technique.
Upon starting, spiritual energy in his frame followed a defined route. The codex's paths directed it through meridians to a concealed spot deep inside, home to the second divine vein.
The ritual commenced.
Max lifted the scarlet Horn Dragon bone, eyes closing. As the Overlord Body Codex circulated, the Dimension of Time's white void hushed completely, as though the atmosphere froze in eager suspense.
The Overlord Body Codex technique whirred to life inside him.
Energy flows raced along meridians per the codex's blueprint. Each pulse struck with exact, commanding force, obeying the technique's primordial directives.
Max breathed in deeply, triggering the initial refinement phase.
The crimson bone flared brighter.
Moments later, it melted into thick red essence hovering like fiery vapor. As it formed, potent vitality aura flooded the area around Max.
Dragon life force, pure and raw.
Max acted without delay.
He drew the essence into himself.
Contact sparked a ferocious backlash within.
Far wilder than typical resources, the dragon essence rampaged through meridians like a torrent, seeking to conquer his form. Its vitality overload proved staggering.
Max's muscles locked tight right away.
While the Overlord Body Codex kept running, he wrestled the energy deeper.
The goal: that buried site of the second divine vein.
The Vein of Vitality.
Clustering there, dragon essence spiked the internal pressure skyward.
Max gritted his teeth.
Pressure soon hit horrifying heights.
Energy detonated around the vein as the codex hammered to pry it loose.
Crack.
A subtle snap resounded in the hushed white expanse.
Fine fissures spiderwebbed over Max's skin.
They started tiny, almost invisible. But with fresh dragon essence influx, they raced over arms, torso, and spine.
Blood trickled from the splits.
Max's breaths grew labored amid escalating fury.
The second divine vein fought back hard.
Unlocking the Vein of Vitality needed colossal life force and ironclad resilience. Dragon essence battered relentlessly while the codex squeezed it into his tissues ever tighter.
Strain turned intolerable.
Fresh fissures marred him, his frame seeming on the verge of total ruin.
It appeared collapse loomed.
Yet Max's physique defied the norm.
From his depths, Draconic Essences stirred.
All twelve hundred Draconic Essences burst forth in unison. Primordial draconic might flooded muscles and bones, fortifying every fiber.
Simultaneously, Dragon Scales Transformation kicked in on reflex.
Ebony scales sprouted over his skin successively.
They coated crack sites, mending the torn flesh underneath. Faintly shining with draconic might, they channeled essence to bolster him internally.
Draconic Essences plus Dragon Scales steadied the chaos.
Fissures halted their advance.
Pain lingered excruciating, but disintegration averted.
Max exhaled lowly, compelling the Overlord Body Codex onward.
Dragon essence now massed fully at the second divine vein.
With one last willpower thrust, Max drove it home.
Boom!
A profound rumble shook his insides.
The Vein of Vitality's blocked channel burst free.
Opening unleashed a vitality surge from his core. Compressed dragon essence got voraciously absorbed by the fresh vein.
Energy morphed.
Destructive force yielded to soothing, potent vitality permeating his whole being.
Skin fissures knit shut gradually.
Dragon scales withdrew as underlying flesh mended at blazing speed. The Vein of Vitality pumped robust life energy everywhere, healing breakthrough wounds.
Max's eyes fluttered open.
Breaths still came ragged, yet his stare held steady calm.
Success: the second divine vein unlocked.
With the Vein of Vitality now flowing, its vast life force relentlessly empowered his body moment by moment.
