The cocoon wrapped around Erix shone with faint dreamy cracks for a couple of seconds before it suddenly shattered and revealed Erix glowing in a luminescent dark gold liquid membrane.
The membrane slowly entered his body, revealing his pristine white-brown skin with a dreamy hue of dark gold.
His lush long hair that barely reached shoulder length had unique black luster, looking otherworldly attractive.
Erix slowly opened his eyes as his senses activated and felt the surging power throughout his body, from deep within to the surface of his skin and beyond.
His eyes had returned normal, human-like, but his pupils were dark red, with a gold hint in their depths.
"Wonderful," Tenebria muttered as she snapped out of her reverie first, while Lilith was still dazed.
From the depth of her heart, soul, and instincts, she felt deeply attracted and bonded to this man.
The island also spread a pulse of mystical power related to Erix's bloodline as the majestic tree grew a kilometer high from its initial 100-meter height.
Rin, Aria, and Lily arrived upon sensing the phenomenon and saw Erix stretching his arms as if he had woken up from a slumber and stood stretched straight.
A bright smile laced his face as he took a deep breath, taking in pure and fantastic prana-filled atmosphere of the Blessed Island.
His morning wood was also unsheathed majestic, but his lean figure with otherworldly defined muscles matching with his face and overall divined sculptured figure dazed the ladies.
His bloodline manifested with core principles of his own experience and source that made him up, along with two extremities and the exotic catalysts used in the process.
Its awakening gave Erix a new, evolved appearance towards his new path.
[Congratulations, you have awakened affinity for Life element.]
...
Everyone sat at a big table under the tree. Erix wore his makeshift dark gold robe with a crimson red embroidery-like design created from his bloodline energy and Prana.
Erix shared his Bloodline's status with others.
"I wasn't expecting this level of grade..."Lilith muttered.

"This status detail of Bloodline is different than mine," Rin said, her voice laced with curiosity. "Is it because you are a pioneer of your bloodline?"
"His Bloodline is in the same situation as mine, but since I've pioneered my bloodline, especially after its second awakening thanks to Erix, it had a clear path and already high level," Lilith said. "That's why you only needed Blood Essence for it to level up and form skills based on your progression."
"But I'll have to do more once I evolve my bloodline with Erix, right?" Rin grinned.
"Yep."
Erix grinned. "I can feel this new source of power in me. It's going to be fun when I explore my bloodline's realm."
"Your bloodline is splendid. I would say it's on par with the bloodline I've whipped up for Aria," Amu crossed its slime arms and nodded.
Aria lightly laughed. "We have different types of bloodline sources."
"You can also upgrade Rin's and my Bloodline," Lilith licked her lips with a wide smile. "But we'll do that later."
Aria naturally started conjuring her Animated Spirits as the enemies saw tens, hundreds, and then thousands of Animated Spirits appearing around her, forming an army of her own.
"Her soul and spirit power...."
The Empyrean-order hunters were dumbfounded as they finally sensed the aura oozed out by Aria.
However, right after that, a loud bang occurred, and a dreadful pulse of energy that even tingled their senses attracted their attention.
What they saw was a five-meter-long and tall dark gold bony punch projectile with hazy dark purple flames majestically formed in a pattern all over it.
The punch contained chaotic swirls of energies within, volatile and compact as it oozed out pure destructiveness.
"NO!"
A few of the Empyrean-order hunters shouted while others had their jaw-dropped as they inspected Erix.
*BOOM!*

_Talent (2/3): Vigor Force, Undeath Living.
Erix had infused a whooping 30,000 Prana worth of energies in that frigging punch!
It was boosted by 5000 Spirit Force and he was in his Undeath Aurelion Crown form that consumed 1 Blood Essence per minute!
His current stats had far surpassed the limit of Royal-order and entered Empyrean-order.
His Strength was at 13150 points while his Agility, Health, and Magic were at 12,000 points!
His mana capacity was also temporarily increased due to his Bloodline skill.
The effect of the punch was devastating enough that no Royal-order in its effective range survived.
Some lucky ones who had one-time-use items related to escape survived, but such items were rare.
At least roughly three hundred Royal-order powerhouses died in that single attack, and this shocked every single individual to their core!
Erix stood in the center with no living soul in his vicinity, his body turned pristine dark gold with majestic runic patterns, royally wrapped in a regal robe and black pants while the dark gold Undeath Aurelion crown lit up above his head, with dark hazy purple wisps shining on its crown spikes dreadfully.
No words could describe this scenery, but the enemies felt one thing very clearly, deep into their souls.
Dread.
