<h4>Chapter 851 Rank 9</h4>


    Emery thought the breakthrough to rank 9 was the end of it but it turned out a continuous wave of spirit force kept sting out of the core.


    The two sphere-like energies attached to one another. One was pitch ck and another side was shining in green. Despite the fact that the two energies were opposite one another, it, miraculously, was able to press into one form that pulled each other.


    When the two hadpletely fused together, the foundations were formed and it immediately began to suck out all of the energy that had been sted out before.


    Emery recognized two different energies pulsating within the wave. One part was calming, pure, and full of life while the other part was the familiar Khaos energy.


    As they started to be absorbed into the form, the once waited notification started to arrive in his mind.


    [Spirit force increases exponentially]


    What followed was a little tremor from the nature side of the foundation and a little tendril-like energy emerging from its surface like a little re. Despite its tiny size, it emanated a powerful spirit element. This particr one gave out the brimming life of a nt.


    [The first pir was formed - nt Element]


    On the other side, the pitch-ck foundation was in need to bnce out the energy. It absorbed the Khaos energy and moments after, a simr tendril came out, this one emanated a powerful element of darkness.


    [Second pir was formed - Darkness Element]


    The two energies began to synergize with each other, nature and darkness, each of them was equally powerful. Within the harmony, Emery could feel his body brimming with more spirit force as the wave was continually soaking into the merging core.


    [Spirit force increases exponentially]


    With it, the next tendril was formed to the nature core once again. In contrast with before, this time Emery could feel the firm strong energy of the earth pulsating within it.


    [Third pir was formed - Earth Element]


    Just like two parallel lines, if one energy formed a tendril, the other one would do the same thing. Simrly, as before, the Khaos energy was bncing the energy from the other side and created the second tendril of darkness.


    [Fourth pir was formed - Darkness Element]


    After the four pirs were formed, there was no more Khaos energy around leaving the rest of the build-up energy to be absorbed into the nature foundation. It was barely enough but still seeded in the formation of the third nature tendril-like energy. This time was the continuously flowing water element.


    [Fifth pir was formed - Water Element]


    With the formation of the fifth pir which represented the element of water, it indicated that it was thest pir formed. By this time, all of the spirit force had been finally absorbed and the five pirs were emitting strong radiance.


    [Spirit force increases exponentially]


    However, just as Emery thought it hade to an end, an unexpected thing suddenly happened. There was sudden chaos as the two cores were starting to lose their bnce. The nature core was pulling apart from the darkness core.


    "Darn! The darkness foundation couldn''t bnce out the nature one"


    It was either because Emery had been depending too much on his [Nature Grasp] or the fact that he was pulling all the spirit force from the spirit cave brimming with nature energy. All he could tell was that there was no bnce between the two cores and he needed to quickly fix it.


    Emery quickly turned pale as he realized that to bnce it, he needed more darkness elements spirit. Nheless, he had no way to find arge number of it, especially Khaos one at this moment in time.


    Trying to bnce out the nature core, the dark core kept trying to sucking out the spirit force. As it couldn''t find any, it began to absorb the energy that was within his own body.


    This caused Emery extreme pain. He instantly felt tired as if his life force was being sucked into the core.


    Emery was in such a weakened and dangerous state that he was thinking about looking for help, however, in the next second, the pain suddenly stopped as the dark core started to find energy from somewhere else.


    It was the one mysterious energy that had been floating outside the spirit core. This particr spirit energy was the one that emerged when he used the fey warlock innate skill [Spirit Devour], the one he took from the serpent magus.


    The strange energy had started to be pulled into the dark core and moments after, all of the mist was absorbed, and gradually the bnce between the two foundations had been restored. Following that, the sixth tendril-like emerged from the dark core.


    This particr energy, although darkness in nature felt rather different, Emery was strangely familiar with this sensation. He could feel the simr aura as the one in his illusion during his bloodline breakthrough and he only had one word in his mind,


    "Devour"


    The sixth tendril was a dark color and had a slight blood-red crack around it, creating some eerie feel about it. But it was still sessfully formed.


    [Sixth pir was formed - Undefined]


    Hearing thest notification, Emery once again heaved a sigh, as he knew that there was some defect happening inside his core. However, thinking the alternative was no longer viable, he decided to focus on the positive side, as within the creation of the sixth pirs, he once again bashed in the deluge of spirit energy.


    [Battle power increases]


    [Spirit force increases exponentially]


    When it was finally over, Emery was thrilled to check his new stats.


    [Emery Ambrose]


    [Battle Power: 244]


    [Spirit Force: 1252]


    [Acolyte Rank 9 - Early Stage - 6 Pirs Formed]


    [nt Spirit - 1 Pir]


    [Water Spirit - 1 Pir]


    [Earth Spirit - 1 Pir]


    [Darkness Spirit - 2 Pirs]


    [Undefined - 1 Pir]


    It was such a shocking number that certainly made him ecstatic. There was such a high boost of spirit forced and the instant 6 pirs. After a moment, the ted feeling turned into many questions. He still had a big gap to be filled within his foundations and was sure that he wouldn''t face the normal 9 pirs, especially with the word early stage that appeared on his stat.


    At this point, Emery had be ustomed to an abnormality in his cultivation. He knew that he really needed to ask some experts about this matter, especially about the undefined pir that made him anxious.


    While his mind was fully upied in this, suddenly Emery felt a figuree dashing in speed and arrived outside of his spirit cave.


    With his spirit reading, he could quickly tell the figure was a magus. However, the magus shouted words that surprised him.


    "Emery Ambrose!! I am Bradley Raven! I havee to give you a lesson to not mess with me! I challenge you to a duel! right now!"
