Chapter 272: Crimson Power Pool-2  

After getting inside the pond, Athan felt hotness all over his body and slight pressure on the blood flowing throughout his body.

He looked at the other four people who were standing with their eyes closed as their bodies started glowing in red, Possibly due to them absorbing the power from this pond.

Athan first just stood and felt the power of the pond that wasn't doing anything to him except putting pressure on his blood and hotness over his body. The pond was deep enough that its surface-level reached his shoulders.

' It's not going inside my body, but...I should be able to absorb it with the power of the white orb. ' Thinking about it, Athan produced four white strings and brought them out from his two hands and soles of his feet. The strings were connected to the white orb, and he planned to absorb the power of this pond through the strings and bring it to the white orb, which would then strengthen his body.

Without wasting time, He started absorbing the power from this crimson power pool through strings.

After absorbing it through the strings, Athan sensed the power carefully and found it to be highly suitable to strengthen the body. It contains blood power and everything a fundamental physical body needed.

Reikent, Lady Yuilen revealed a pleasantly surprised expression seeing Athan's body glowing in red like others which indicated that he managed to absorb the pond's benefits.

On the other hand, Hufan revealed a shocked expression. At the same time, Nefat had both a shocked expression and resentment in his eyes, ' WHY?! How can he absorb this despite being an Ascender? '

Athan absorbed the power from the crimson pool through the strings, which would then go to the white orb, and then the white orb provided this power directly to each of the cells in every part of his body to thoroughly strengthen his body.

Reikent's narrowed his eyes as he looked at Athan carefully and found something strange, ' Hmm? Unlike others, who are absorbing the crimson power pool's energy through all parts of their body, Athan is only absorbing the power from his two hands and legs...Strange. '

He activated his Shishun eyes and focused on Athan's hands and legs to see what was going on. But after looking intently for a minute, He failed to find anything strange, ' How is he able to absorb the pond's power through his hands and legs but not his whole body? '

His Shishun Eyes can see through body and sense what kind of powers and special traits one has. Though, His Shishun eyes only work on those who are weaker than him.

After failing to find anything, Reikent shook his head with a wry smile, ' Looks like my Shishun eyes are not powerful enough to sense whatever he is doing. '

Athan was leisurely absorbing the pond's power as he felt his body getting stronger constantly.

Previously, He had reached the limit to strengthen his body, and even if he fed new law energies to the white orb to strengthen his body, It wouldn't work. But, finally, This stalemate recently broke when he ate that small piece of meat from Reikent, and the white orb absorbed that powerful blood energy from the piece of meat to make his body stronger, and now in this pool, He could also make his body stronger through the white orb.

Athan also knows that others can see his soul, white orb, and white strings only if he wants to. He could do this after comprehending the white orb's power when his body was destroyed by the berserk white orb that wouldn't stop absorbing energy from the source dimension.

Two hours passed, and everyone was still absorbing the power from the crimson power pool.

During this time, Reikent, Lady Yuilen, and Hufan were speechless. From the energy flow of the crimson power pool, They could clearly see that Athan absorbed the power faster than the other four.

" Hahaha. Good good. " Reikent laughed and then looked at Hufan while grinning, " Hufan, If you got enough information and proof, then you can return with that fat stool. I don't think you have any business here anymore...right? "

Hufan glared at Reikent and then snorted before he glanced at Nefat, " Let's go. "

Nefat looked unwilling and muttered, " I could also breakthrough to Red-Realm if I got the opportunity to use this pond. " He was also at Black Realm-1st step and wanted to breakthrough.

Hufan frowned at Nefat and said, " I'll find another opportunity for you. Now let's go. "

Both of them then left the pocket space branch.

Athan and others continued to absorb the power. After an hour, Athan frowned because he felt his body stopped getting stronger. He could still feed the power of the crimson pool to the white orb, but the white orb wasn't strengthening his body anymore.

But after he sensed his body carefully, He realized that his body had reached its very limit. Of course, he entirely ignored the pain as he was used to it, so he didn't notice this at first.

" What happened? " Reikent asked Athan as he saw Athan opening his eyes but his body still glowing. However, the glow was slowly subsiding.

Athan shook his head as he walked out of the pond and spoke, " I've hit the limit. I need to move my body and do some exercise to stabilize it. "

" Alright. You can do it. "

Athan nodded and started stretching and exercising by throwing punches and kicks.

The glow completely subsided during his practice, and after fifteen, He stopped exercising.

Reikent arrived in front of Athan with the silver plate and spoke with a grin, " Let's check your strength. It should be mostly like at Dark realm-1st step because without chaos essence, your body can't enter Red Realm. "

Athan nodded and punched with his full-body strength.

*Thudd...*

A dark flower with one petal appeared, which indicated that Athan's body strength indeed reached the Dark realm-1st step just like Reikent predicted.
