Some time later, the process reached its end and Aiden's body shuddered. His eyes snapped open, he opened his mouth and let out a majestic roar!
Given the terrifying pressure of his surroundings, seawater would gush in the moment he opened his mouth, normally, doing something like this would be utterly foolish and would simply be courting death.
However, as Aiden roared, the majestic Ancient Dragon's spirit that loomed over him roared alongside with him.
As a result, a tremendous sound wave was released, causing endless ripples and forced back the seawater around him. He formed an empty clear space at the depths of the mystic sea! It was like a proclamation of his sheer strength that defied the very heavens and laws of this sub dimension! It was as if he was openly going against the might of the Sword Emperor!
After roaring, the seawater drowned Aiden in an even more turbulent manner, crashing repeatedly. As though it was provoked, the ferocious untamed mana turned even wilder!
The silhouette of the majestic ancient dragon dispersed.
The next moment, an even more terrifying aura appeared. Behind Aiden, another shocking scene appeared! The vague silhouette of another beast, shaped like a giant circular, or perhaps amorphous figure appeared.
The silhouette was just that, a shadowy appearance only. It had no clear features, just a mere vague outline. Yet, even then, it radiated an uncanny power… divine power!
Instantly, the seawater calmed down, frozen solid as though it was shocked by the aura!
The strange blob-shaped silhouette opened its eyes, revealing two giant golden-colored stars at its center. They felt more like two stars at the center of a galaxy, rather than anything else!
With a mere glance from the primordial beast, all the raging, surging wild mana within Aiden's body was instantly suppressed, going silent instantly.
With that, the primordial beast's silhouette disappeared, as though it had never appeared to begin with.
Yet somewhere deep within Aiden's soul, shackled and chained behind, the being cackled with delight. His deep thunderous voice echoed throughout the seemingly endless dark space for a long time…
Now that the wild energy was no longer as aggressive as before, all that remained within Aiden's body was the purest form of essence!
It was as vast as the sea!
The [Soul Power] reserve within Aiden's body was increasing at a rapid pace.
A long time later, there was a loud boom!
His previous and long time hurdle of being blocked at the precipice of breaking through the second level and into the third was finally broken through, instantly giving him a massive raise. His previous reserve of 1350 soared past 3000, stopping at 3500 eventually… A multiplying increase of more than two and a half times of its previous maximum!
Just to put it into perspective, with his previous maximum of 1350 points, Aiden could at most use his fully transformed Ancient Draconic form for at most two minutes before he would lose all his energy… now, that gave a rise to more than six full minutes! This was also if he fully transformed, if he were to use only his claws, tail or just some partial features this limit would exponentially increase!
Such an increase would give him a tremendous increase in his combat effectiveness. Even more, this wasn't just a simple increase in the quantity, but with the increase in level it have also given rise to a qualitative change. Even if Aiden wasn't currently aware of all the changes as the process was a gradual transition rather than immediate, Aiden could already feel a refreshing feel spreading through every orifice, every part of his body.
Before long, the mystic sea changed once more.
As though an invisible pair of hands had reached into the mystic sea to stir it forcefully, a gigantic vortex was formed, affecting the entire sea!
Aiden was forcefully sucked into it and merely felt the world spin; his entire body was contorted by the power of the vortex and felt like it was about to explode!
His tendons and bones sounded at the same time as his organs shifted positions.
Hurriedly, Aiden released his inner [Soul Power] to contain the injuries within his body. His [Primal Restoration] skill that was the ability that normally would channel the absorbed life essence to restore the vitality of its host has revealed another ability of his: Utilized its host's own [Soul Power] reserves instead! Aiden's eyes burned with a fervent golden luster as his own power was churning frantically, keeping up the healing with the pace of destruction once again.
Still, normally this still wouldn't have been enough. If he had not broken through earlier on, Aiden would have been shredded after being sucked in by the vortex!
The change in the spirit sea attracted countless stares once more.
The vortex was way too terrifying, resembling a black hole that threatened to devour the entire world.
"[Slaric] H-how could this be?!"
"[Slaric] I heard from my master that a hundred years ago, a similar phenomenon appeared after the legendary figure who obtained the Sword Emperor's inheritance entered the mystic sea."
"[Slaric] What?!"
"[Slaric] A-are you saying…"
"[Slaric] Look!" A man pointed at the center of the vortex. "There seems to be someone inside the vortex!"
On the reef, Bair Yohren's expression turned extremely terrible. His self-proclaimed nemesis, the unassuming young man and the so-called prophecised leader, the 'stealer of his righteously owned fate" have once again achieved the impossible!
—-
Initially, Aiden was already experiencing pressure from the water resistance at the bottom of the sea.
After he was sucked into the vortex, Aiden experienced even greater pressure and with no other choice, he could only activate his [Primal Restoration] ability and hope for the best.
Under the stimulation of the vortex, his [Soul Power] surged endlessly and rushed towards all parts of his body, protecting him from faltering against this final hurdle.
After what felt like a long time, Aiden, who was trapped uncontrollably within the vortex, opened his eyes suddenly and two divine golden-colored lights burst forth, illuminating the entire dark sea!
Although the vortex was still present, Aiden was rooted to the spot. He did not budge no matter how the seawater washed, spun and twisted around him!
Now that he had broken through his previous limits, and that his divine powers were slowly washing, clearing his orifices as well as his blood vessels, slowly but surely mixing together with his [Soul Power], the feeling of dizziness vanished instantly.
In a moment of emotion, Aiden could not help but roar again into the skies.
His roar was so deep like a cracking thunderstorm that shook the very heavens itself. In fact, it overwhelmed the surging sound of the sea!
