Chapter: The Two Corpses

Two corpses lie on the ground not far away from each other. They release an ancient aura, as if they are beings highest amongst high creatures. It is terrifying to think who could have killed them, maybe they fought or there could be someone or something killed them. What surprising is, even if they appear to have been dead for billions of years their bodies shows no sign of decomposition.

The Espirita flew to the corpse nearest to it; it is a small creature not even 2 meters tall. So tiny that the Espirita was almost unable to see it, but the boundless powerful energy emitting from its body is hard to go unnoticed. This corpse has a jade-like skin, seemingly untouched by the impurities of the world. Its hands gripped into a cylindrical object, it looks like the tiny being summoned this thing but was unable to continue what it has to do because it died. This corpse is a human, and for a human to have this power only means it is a cultivator and its attainments must be extremely high!

Without even blinking, the Espirita opened its mouth and swallowed the human corpse, slowly sucking out the essences inside the cultivator. Surprisingly the corpse disintegrated into motes of light and was absorbed. As for the cylindrical object, it vanished.

The Espirita proceeded onto the next corpse, as for this corpse it is humongous. It is even bigger than the Espirita, its size almost take up the half of the destroyed planet. Impaled on the corpse head is a spear, this spear although only bigger than the dead cultivator by few inches, seems like the cause of the death of this mighty being. It is a Dragon! A legendary Abyss Dragon to be exact. Its huge body emits the law of the Abyss, savage and powerful. If this Dragon was still alive it could swallow up worlds! Abyss Dragon are tyrants amongst the dragon race, they are the True Dragon King. It is possible for the Abyss Dragon to have killed the cultivator but this cultivator can't be categorized as simply an ordinary Martial Artist and one more thing is, it seems like the Abyss Dragon was killed first by the powerful senior before it died! So who killed the Martial Artist?

As for the Espirita, it has no way of knowing nor processing what's in front of it. It suddenly transformed into a beam of light and flew straight towards the body of Abyss Dragon. The corpse was suddenly submerged by blinding light and with a sudden flash, the huge corpse of the Abyss Dragon is nowhere to be seen. The Espirita is the only being left with a seemingly drank expression. It had eaten the whole corpse, leaving nothing behind!

It appears that the Abyss Dragon and the Martial Artist are the only things that anchor the existence of the planet. And by them being gone, the destroyed planet crumbled disintegrating into dusts. Without even using its wings, the Espirita stands unaffected to the complete annihilation of the planet. One of the abilities of Espirita is to gain the abilities of the creatures it absorbed, and since Abyss Dragon has an inborn Laws of Space; the Espirita was able to wield it.

What more is that the Espirita seems more excited; with a deep breath; it inhaled all the remaining Origin Essence surrounding the hidden dimension of the destroyed planet. It continued to absorb and absorb until the once rich dimension of Origin Essence is now deprived.

A change happened by the absence of Origin Essence, the Supreme Dao vanished and the space started to crack like a mirror being shattered. This commotion triggered a suction force formed at the very most center of the hidden realm. All rocks and space fragments was pulled into it, even the Espirita is not an exception. A blinding light followed and then it combusted. The hidden realm exploded!

Naturally, the Espirita was thrown out by the explosion and enter the perimeter of the Prometheus Universe. It is known that the 9 universe is divided into 3 classes each having three universe; The Mundane, The Mystic and The Unknown. And the Prometheus Universe falls under The Mundane, the realm ruled majorly by Human Race.

Since there are different laws governing the Prometheus Universe by being thrusted inside, the Espirita was further wounded. As if the existence of the Espirita is the bane of the heavens of Prometheus Universe!

Another ability of an Espirita is to change into any forms of the lifeform it absorbed, due to its heavy wounds and the pressure of the laws of the Mundane Realm, the Espirita slowly transformed its large body into the smallest form it ate to recuperate faster and conserve less energy and to also correspond to the laws of Prometheus. That form is a human from the corpse of the cultivator. Since the Espirita is a spiritual being with no physical body, it transformed into a form that resembles a Human Soul.

And to heal itself, it slowly absorbed the available energies around and that is, chaos, genesis and spirit source. Chaos energy is the lifeblood of the cosmos, it is the source of all matter after the formation of universes. Chaos Energy is what formed all matter within a world, and was also the source of a universe's body. It could be said that Chaos Energy is what made the physical body of all lives, humans, plants, beast all the way to stars, moons, suns and a universe! As for Genesis Essence it is the source of all energy and is the energy of the whole cosmos! If the Chaos Energy is the body, Genesis Essence is the energy then Spirit Source energy is the cosmos' soul. It is the source of soul!

And by absorbing those energies changes happened, the Espirita started to transform into a real human shaped soul and as more Spirit Source Energy was absorbed, the more the soul get defined. It is known that Spirit Source energy is beneficial for practitioners who focuses on soul cultivation then that means that the forming soul of the Espirita is extremely powerful!

Then a strong soul force surged throughout the soul and shockingly a clear consciousness started to bloom in the head of the Human shaped soul of the Espirita! The Espirita is starting to form its own mind! And this new born consciousness is not an ordinary mind because it is formed by the accumulation of Spirit Source Energy! Moreover, since Espiritas are spiritual beings, their soul is stronger than any creatures or race and by also being baptized countless times by the Great Dao a mutation happened in the soul. A spirit root is born in the form of a book!

For a cultivator, spirit root is essential to practice cultivation because it is the very foundation of one's body and soul. Spirit Roots serve as the person's innate talent and their affinities to elements; a stronger spirit means they could reach higher achievements in cultivation. Spirit Roots are also called Battle Spirits and are divided into different types such as Tool Spirit, Beast Spirit and Body Spirit. A mortal who has Tool Spirit has the ability to summon their soul in the form of a weapon, it could be a spear, sword, saber, dagger or any kind of weapon. Beast spirit wielders are Humans who's soul are in the form of spirit beasts, but this kind of spirit root is rare and mostly humans with a bloodline of a spirit beast can only have it. And lastly, a Body Spirit are spirit roots that dwells within specific parts of the mortal's body. When summoned, the associated body part is innately enhanced. It is a must that a Spirit root is cultivated alongside the mortal's Martial Arts because once the cultivation stage and Spirit root of a practitioner is not balanced then it will cause more risks and bottlenecks.

What's bizarre is that there are no record wherein a spiritual beast formed its own Spirit Root! Yet the Espirita formed one, even if the Espirita absorbed the Human Cultivator, it is still impossible! Such mutation is miraculous!

Moreover, the spirit root the evolved Espirita formed is not under the typical types because this spirit is called a Dao Spirit! It is an extremely rare type of a Spirit Root only formed by the blessings of Supreme Dao. Although Dao Spirits cannot be used in a battle, its function is extremely helpful in one's cultivation! It can be said that when someone has a Dao Spirit Root, they would achieve great heights in the Path of Knowledge and their affinity to comprehend Dao is extremely high! If ever they attained a Cauldron shaped Dao Spirit then it means they will be peerless Grandmaster of Alchemy! And one more advantage of attaining Dao Spirit is they will not need to go to Sects to study certain field of knowledge because they can find all the teachings they need in their Dao Spirit all they have to do is to comprehend it! In addition, a Book Dao Spirit is completely unheard of! This Dao spirit in the form of a book can be said all encompassing, it may even contains all practices from Array Formation, Inscription Techniques, up to Alchemy and many more!

What followed by the birth of the soul and spirit root are veins. Spreading throughout the soul as if it's chaining it down. Then the once illusionary image of the Espirita's heart started to become a true muscle, a real heart! A squishing sound suddenly resounded, meaning blood started to flow throughout the blood veins! And what flows through his veins are not of human's but the blood of the Dragon, the Espirita absorbed! Just a drop of a Dragon blood will enable a human to attain strong vitality and strength far above the others yet the Espirita has 100% Dragon Blood, its vitality and stamina is hard to imagine!

After that the other organs also started to form from lungs to kidneys all the way to brain. All this process was caused by absorbing the Energy essence and finally meridians started to form! Meridians made of energy essence! Meridians are the pathways in the body where energy flows, so it was mind-boggling to see meridians made by Energy essence itself! This means that Qi will naturally enter the meridians without even the need of absorbing them!

As for the absorbed Chaos energy, it formed bones, muscles and finally skin. Chaos energy are very important for body transformation practitioners because this energy is what they need to temper the body, achieving a Vajra body and insane strength! For it to form bones, muscles and flesh shows that this mortal body is unbelievably sturdy! Powered by the innate strength and vitality of the Dragon, the Espirita absorbed, its level rose up to an extremely high degree just a bit more a Vajra body can be achieved!

Finally the formation of the mortal body is finished and surprisingly the Espirita is actually a male, his wings suddenly contracted and furled then finally disappearing into his back, as for the Supreme Dao Rune in his forehead; it issued a dazzling light before also hiding itself however the eyes of the Espirita stayed as it is, a miniature universe. And if the Espirita was to look in the mirror then it shall see a lithe figure with skin as smooth as Jade and as white as snow, with long slender legs that will enable the Espirita to exude a cold and lofty aura, unknowingly. And a face that resembles a goddess, solemn and domineering. His beauty can be describe as a deity that descended from the highest heavens, elegant beyond mortal means and without equal. Soft lines featured his feminine face but his eyebrows contained verve, giving him a touch of masculinity. Such a peerless beauty!

Eventhough the Mortal Body is complete, there are still transformations happening inside the Espirita. The Origin Essence the Espirita absorbed further solidified the body, just like what happened to the Origin Essence back when the creation of cosmos, it transformed into billions of atoms and then integrated itself in all the cells inside the Espirita. As for the Supreme Dao it also spread throughout the newly formed physical body and etched itself in every fibers of cells, muscles and bones. Then suddenly a beast core was formed, hidden behind the Espirita's sternum right beside the pulsating heart. This beast core is no ordinary core because the Espirita is also not an ordinary beast! It can be even classified higher than Godbeasts! A Celestial Beast! And this beast core is composed of Origin Essence! Therefore, it is not surprising when a small dimension bloomed inside the core; this dimension is like the Espirita's own Interspatial bag the only difference is it's inside him!

This is the first time that an Espirita formed a physical body! Truly miraculous! It is fortunate to have absorbed a body of a cultivator and dragon where its mortal form was derived from and with the help of Three Divine Essences, a physical body is formed! This Espirita no longer needs to hibernate and be the nourishment of the cosmos because now it can function as a true living being!

Soaked in Origin Essence, baptized by Supreme Dao, Appearance of a Mortal, body of a Dragon and a soul of an Espirita. Such being is truly heaven defying!
