Ember Hall Trial Part 15

Nine Star Gates- Each gate would form a new star inside one's body. This star held an unlimited amount of energy and that gate allowed the star's energy to transform into certain energy.

So, it would depend upon which gate was used.

First Star Gate was in his brain so whenever this gate was opened, a massive amount of energy flows into his brain and then transformed into mental energy with the help of the first gate.

First Star Gate- Hall of Mind, Second Star Gate- Trunk of Back, Third Star Gate- Brick of Hands, Fourth Star Gate- Ballon of Lung, Fifth Star Gate- Sword of Leg, Sixth Star Gate- Health of Veins, Seventh Star Gate- Explosion of Blood, Eighth Star Gate- Truth of Eyes, and Ninth Star Gate- Undying Heart.

While the name sounds ridiculous, the power each star gives was immense. The second star allowed one to exert three times more power into each punch without getting any side effects.

That's because the second-star gate makes the backbone as strong as a thousand-year-old tree trunk.

As for the first star, it started overflowing his sea of consciousness with mental energy. Normally, mental energy is produced out of stamina combined with spiritual energy and the unique energy of a sea of consciousness.

Thus, mental energy always resides in one's sea of consciousness. And, it was the reason why the spiritual sense works. As soon as his mental energy returned, he immediately used it on merging those three energies.

At the same time, he used his mental energy to activate three characters residing inside his dantian.

[Destiny] [Karma] [Reincarnation]

He wasn't sure if this would work but he had no choice. His dantian would explode at any moment now. So, there was nothing he could do.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

'Please work! Please' Tyler gritted his teeth when he heard that noise. It was almost a few meters away from him. He knew if the statue swung its sword, that would reach him.

So, he had to do whatever he was doing faster.

Three Characters shone like golden buddha statues and the entire destruction energy overflowing inside him was sealed into an invisible cube. But, it didn't mean that he had succeeded.

He still hadn't merged those three energies. And, those three energies were only getting chaotic. The more he tried, the more he came to the conclusion that it wouldn't work.

No matter how much he tried, the three energies were dead set on not merging together.

'No, no, no, I can't let this end like this. I must succeed. There is no path back. The path is ahead of me. I must succeed. There must be a way. There has to be a way.'

'Even if there is not, I need to find a way.'

"Sapling, buy me more time!"

Tyler broke his concentration and roared. The next moment, he once fell into a deep concentration. He wasn't going to give up like this.

He was talentless before. Now, he finally had the chance to accomplish his goal. Even if that goal seemed unachievable, as long as he keeps a strong attitude toward achieving it, he could it.

That's what he believed.

Now, it was another test for him.

'If I can't merge three energies like this, how about I use the power of those three characters? I was able to use them just before, right? I should be able to use them once again.'

'Damn it, I don't have a choice. I need to use them right now.'

[Destiny] [Karma] [Reincarnation]

Tyler released his mental energy and activated those three characters. He was sending the information through his mental energy but those three characters were just starting stagnant.

They weren't even letting out the golden light. When it happened, Tyler almost got broken once again.

'This ain't gonna be my end. I must pull this off.'

'Wait, the energy of destruction was motivated by this chaotic mixture. What if I try to merge the destruction energy with this chaotic energy? It should be possible, right?'

'I don't know. I freaking don't know. But, I don't have the luxury to waste time. If this is an option, I must take it.'

Tyler used his mental energy to pull the invisible cube toward the chaotic mixture of those energies. As soon as the cube reached next to them, he pushed the cube into the middle of the chaotic mixture.

He had no idea what he was trying to do. But, he had no choice either.

When the chaotic mixture surrounded the cube, they started striking the cube. Whenever they struck the cube, Tyler's condition got worse. It was releasing a strange wave of energy that was disturbing his body.

The blood veins were rupturing and he was suffering considerable damage internally. But, just after a few seconds, the cube started to crumble and the energy of destruction collided with the energy of a chaotic mixture.

Tyler was constantly using his spiritual energy to keep his internal damage to a minimum. But while doing so, his dantian was slowly filling up with his own blood.

His exterior wasn't in good condition either. He was also bleeding from the outside but thanks to the sapling, it was much better than inside.

'It's changing. I don't freaking know what it is changing into but I know it is changing. I can't give up right now.'

Tyler's eyes turned red. His body was so exhausted that he could barely breathe. But, he wasn't going to give up that easily. Even if his heart stopped, he had no choice but to continue.

At this moment, at one corner of his dantian, a black spiral force emerged. The collision of destruction energy and the chaotic mixture was slowly making it bigger. And. As it got bigger, it started absorbing his blood.

The black spiral turned red and slowly, at the middle of the spiral, sponge-like blood formed.

This was quite a weird scene but whenever it appeared, the chaotic mixture suddenly stopped being chaotic while the remaining destruction energy was absorbed inside it.

Of course, the second later, that chaotic mixture was also absorbed inside it. But, it didn't end there. The suction of that blood was getting so strong that it was absorbing all of his spiritual energy, internal energy, lightning energy, and sword essence at once.

At this moment, something strange happened. Those three characters started violently repelling the suction of that blood. But, the aura of that blood got even stronger after absorbing all those energies.

And, not to mention, it was also absorbing a lot of his blood. At this moment, the character [Must Die] began to retreat but suddenly, the suction force stopped it as well.

[Must Die] frantically shook, as if it was telling the sponge blood something but the next second, that sponge blood released a terrifying aura so strong that it made that slaughter aura from before miserable.

Before [Must Die] released the destruction energy because it wanted to destroy his dantian but now that it was fighting against that sponge blood, a little of destruction energy that it had absorbed from the previous fight couldn't help it at all.

It was forced to release the slaughter aura. And, this slaughter aura was much stronger than before. Even so, the suction was forcefully breaking the energy itself into small pieces and sucking them.

At this moment, [Must Die] realized something. It couldn't fight against the sponge blood so it finally decided to explode itself.

Boom!
