[[[ NASENT SOUL]]]

Cruden's fist exploded with heaven-defying power toward the exploding body of the crazy woman. A loud explosion was heard and a huge dust cloud of energy erupted destroying everything in a 100 miles radius. The explosion was so bright, it looked as if it was a burning beacon. the sky screamed and the earth quaked. a powerful rush of energy erupted blowing everything away from the center of the explosion. Even Valencia and Crow were no exception.

It took a while for the dust to clear away but As the dust clears and stillness returns, they could see a solitary figure standing within the explosion. Upon closer inspection, they realized who the figure was. The dust had cleared but the area was filled with turbulent energy and in the center of it was Cruden, his body was barely able to hold itself up but there he was alive and standing.

The destruction caused by the explosion was evident. The 1000 meter crater Cruden was standing in and the icy shard remains that were scattered everywhere. It was like two opposite worlds collide. They could not immediately rush in, the chaotic energy of the explosion was still bombarding the area. Loud cracks and snaps could be heard each time the energy stirred.

Luckily Cruden was in the center of it.

Crow stared unbelievably at Cruden's figure. His eyes widened with incredulity. He did not know what caused the explosion earlier but based on the fact that Cruden was able to survive meant he was not on the receiving end. The woman was nowhere to be found but Based on the intensity of that explosion earlier, there was no way she could have survived.

Valencia hurried to Cruden's side. The chaotic energy would rip into her body but she still gritted her teeth and pressed forward. She circulated her Holy energy and formed a light barrier around her. It did not stop the onslaught of the chaotic energy but her body's healing speed increased tremendously. With her high proficiency of holy energy, she could even survive being split in two. The pain was intense but she pressed forward. Her body was completely disfigured and her skin was even melting but her powers were in full effect.

When she reached the safe zone surrounding Cruden. She sighed in relief. She now looked like a melted wax figure but her body quickly healed. By the time she reached beside Cruden, her body was fully healed. Even though she was currently possessing someone's body she did not want to damage it. She was currently naked but she didn't care.

The closer she got the uglier her expression became. Cruden was riddled with wounds and frostbites. He was in a sorry state. Even though he was standing, the simplest breeze could knock him down to the ground. He had now reverted back to his normal form. Tyrant had been disabled. There was no skin visible on his body and his HP was at 2. Valencia could not see his HP but She hurriedly began to heal him. A white light flashed from her hands as usual and encased Cruden.

Cruden's had long lost consciousness. His final attack had taken a lot out of him. His MP was at 0 and His right hand was now a shriveled mess. In tyrant form, BANGX3 was way more powerful than before. Cruden was aware but he had no choice. His whole arm had been blown off by the force of his own attack. His body had instinctively tried to regrow his arm but he was out of mana.

Cruden now possessed the dark body. He was darkness itself and as such his body could be easily manipulated and change forms. Once he had enough mana, he could regrow parts of his body. While his HP would still stay the same. It was still very useful, it would be extremely difficult for his enemies to disable him.

It did not take long for Valencia to heal Cruden. Her soul had been given an upgrade so her powers were stronger than before. Even though his arm was still a withered mess. His life was no longer in danger. Valencia sighed in relief.

The more she used her power. The weaker she got. She had a feeling that once the power she had run out she would be transported back into her own body.

Crow watched as the terrible wounds on Cruden's body started to heal until there were no wounds left. He made a mental note to inform the warden about this as well. but she asked no questions. He just watched

Crow was happy Cruden was alive but he did not let his guard down. he continuous scanned the area

The area was a complete wasteland, there was no life insight. It did not take long for her eyes to see a bead slowly rolling on the ground but as soon as Crow's eyes laid on it, the bead became aware and dash out trying to escape but without any word from the crow. Valencia's body disappeared and she caught the bead in her hand. She had located the bead a long time ago but was mostly focused on Cruden but even she thought the bead was suspicious.

Freya had thought her plan to be fail-proof. The explosion from a nascent soul detonation was scary and not easily handled but After exploding her body, Freya was not only surprised to see the boy standing but after witnessing the power of the Cruden's last attack. He had forcefully pushed back her detonation. She was horrified. Only she knew that the chaotic energy surrounding them now was mostly caused by a mixture of her and Cruden's energy but the save zone surrounding them was solely caused by Cruden's final attack. This meant his energy was more powerful and a higher grade than the energy caused by her explosion Her main priority now was to escape.

She was in her nascent soul form. It was a dark blue bead. She had also experienced Valencia traversing through the chaotic energy. Not even her in her top form would dare attempt that. She wanted to slowly bide her time. If it was not for the Chaotic field she would have escaped a long time ago but she was trapped. She could only slowly distance herself. But who would have thought she would be noticed and captured

The bead, once captured, screamed in dissatisfaction and rage. "Let me go or I will kill you all '' "do you know who i am?" "I am the ice celestial" the small bead shrieked nonstop.

What do you think should do with this? Valencia asked. The bead was struggling non-stop to get away but Valencia held it firmly in her hands. Crow glanced at the bead in Valencia's hand, he was aware that it was a nascent soul of a powerful expert but he said without hesitation. "We should destroy it!

A nascent soul even though fragile was not something that could be easily destroyed. Crow was busy thinking of ways to subdue it till later but Valencia tossed the bead into the air and with a swift powerful kick smashed the bead into pieces. She had a lot of energy built up using CHARGE and she had used it to power her kick. Crow was not even surprised anymore. This was a friend of Cruden so he expected nothing less.

Once the nascent soul was destroyed a light flashed before Valencia's eyes. On her panel, flashing in bright light was a notification. Nascent soul received. Her eyes scanned over the description and were pleasantly surprised. The DIMENSION SKILL that Cruden had casted was still active.

This was due to the second effect of the special skill DIMENSION. It would award the user with a reward randomly and the rest would be transported to Void in the form of experience points. In the moment that the bead appeared in Valencia's panel. The chaotic energy in the air began to disappear. To be precise it was the energy from the explosion of Freya's body was being sucked up and transported to Void as EXP.

Extreme Yin Nascent Soul. able to grant users the power level of a nascent soul and extreme yin. Equipable.

It was the bead that she just destroyed. Valencia immediately tried to equip it but no matter how she tried nothing happened. She noticed the energy in her body refused to mix with the energy from the nascent soul.

Cruden was still unconscious and would not be waking up anytime soon. She did not want to leave him without any protection. She had only met Cruden twice but she cares for him. Her brother.

She turned to Crow. She knew this was one of Cruden's friends.

"I'm gonna be leaving soon. I want you to protect him for me and I'll give you this as payment".Light flashed in Valencia's hands and to Crow's surprise. A dark blue bead appeared. It was the nascent soul he had just witnessed her destroy. The only difference was the nascent soul in her hands was not trying to run away like before. It sat there silently.

Crow did not understand how that was possible now what Valencia meant by she had to leave soon but he knew the bead was a treasure left from a nascent soul powerhouse. It was priceless beyond measure. He was kinda on guard because he did not want his body to be taken over but he realized that was not her intention. He would naturally protect crude as best as he could unless it was life-threatening so he agreed.

Valencia smiled happily and tossed the bead to Crow. Crow reached out to catch it but As soon as the bead touched Crow's hands, it sank as if there was no resistivity. He was alarmed and tried to throw the bead away but it was futile

The bead sank into his hand and traveled to his diatian where it began to spin releasing a boundless yin extreme qi. Inside his diatian blue light would shine. As a foundation establishment cultivator. There were already foundation pillars in her disdain but as the light of the blue light shined on them they began to change color.

Crow jumped back, he felt a powerful surge of energy rush through his body. First, it was the meridians, then the blood vessels, then the muscles and skin. Every inch of his body was being washed over the energy. He felt like he was gonna explode. The energy was in no way gentle.

The Extreme Yin Qi was devastating his body. his skin had turned blue, his eyes had turned white and his blood had slowed down considerably. Ice crystals were quickly being formed on Crow's body. He used the last of his will to stare at Valencia. He could not believe she had tricked him.

Valencia was confused at first, this result was not expected but she acted quickly. She left the body she was currently processing and rushed into Crow's body. She released all the energy she had. White light rushed out and fused into Crow's body. Everywhere it passed the frozen flesh would jump to life again.

"Do not worry, I will not let you die" Valencias light was getting exhausted at a fast speed. But she did not care. She used her energy up until the last drop.

If anybody had fused with the nascent soul, they would have died on the spot. Luckily Valencia was here or Crow would have been a goner.

Color began to quickly return to Crow's face. She felt the same warm energy from earlier healing her body. The pain was still present but it was more bearable. He immediately focused his perception on his body and he was surprised to see the nascent soul anchored in the center of his diantian. He could also feel his cultivation rising. peak foundation establishment, early-core formation, mid-core formation, late-core formation, and finally stopped at the entrance of the nascent soul stage.
