Chapter 45: Gaining Control
In less than an hour, the meditating Evil Lex felt a massive disturbance in energy and knew it was time for the portal to open.
"This dimension can't hold my power for much longer and I will be crushed by spatial laws if I do not leave soon" mumbles Evil Lex feeling the pressure of the Mortal Beast Dimension, which if he broke through it would cause a massive disturbance he couldn't handle and would be stuck in the special void and with his current power he wouldn't be able to leave.
The portal looked like a wall without the centre, and the outer perimeter of the wall had weird runes and patterns that were now glowing purple. As they glow purple, there seemed to be a purple semi-solid substance forming in the centre of the wall which was glowing.
Seeing the portal opening, Evil Lex smiles evilly, excited to see what will occur after he rushes through the portal. Going through the semi-solid material that seemed to suck him in and warp around him as he felt the sensation of being sucked in by another space.
As soon as he came through the portal, he found that there was nobody there apart from the old man he most wary of was waiting there with the female woman who was sat at the desk previously.
As soon as he locks eyes with the old man who sees his red eyes and only Lex coming out alone was instantly suspicious and appears before him with incredible speeds.
"Fuck" mumbles Evil Lex as he warps his body using a profound special technique a few miles away from the old man. This one burst of special warping used up most of his active energy reserves, which he refilled from all the energy sealed within his eye.
Thinking he had gotten away and could escape on foot from here on out, Evil Lex was shocked when he sees the old man blitzing round the corner of a building running towards him. His speed and the power in his legs allowed each of his steps to cover tens of metres.
"Shit, this old man is too quick" he exclaims as he burst all the energy into his foot and forms another warp gate and jumps through, but the old man has a boost of speed and grabs Evil Lex's leg going through the warp gate with him.
Feeling that there was a disturbance in the Eye Demon Prison, Evil Lex just burst out into laughter until the body lost consciousness.
"How have you been kid, enjoyed the chains," asks the Originator Eye Demon sarcastically.
"I was going to ask you the same thing, enjoyed using my body as it will be the last time and thanks for the power boost and items I can feel in my inventory," he replies ridiculing the Originator Eye Demon.
Lex's body looked exactly the same as what Evil Lex had improved it too, however his eyes seemed to be dull.
He seemed to have now been desensitised to death and atrocities in this cruel world.
"I will be taking my body back now and after much contemplation, I realised how stupid I am, I don't care about anyone or anything apart from those close to me, and I won't allow those who are undeserving to get close to me and only strength matters, " he decides.
He felt so stupid that slightly over a month ago he was being bullied in early high school like an ant and was almost killed by them, and then was a maniac charging into any battle to get stronger and follow Ella, from now on he decided that strength comes first and with strength, he can do as he pleases.
Throwing away all his previous thoughts of having a responsibility to save this trashy human race and he no longer felt the need to be heroic and help others he felt as if a massive weight was lifted off his chest and his sight and mind was clearer.
This is not to say that Lex is a bad person, but in the world of cultivation there is no right or wrong, only strength, and he was learning that as time went on.
Feeling lighter and happier with this new sense of enlightenment and this zen-like state, he felt as if he was free.
{Ding, hosts mental state is strong enough to hold some of the information withheld from you, the information that you are allowed to know is from the Jade Empress and some other words Ella left for you which I withheld without warning, due to you being an immature youth}.
As this was announced in his mind, the information he was told about the world and the Lower Plains and this merely being a sub-dimension under the control of a small sect he just smiled.
Unlike his previous reaction, he wasn't scared or overwhelmed but was actually excited and happy that he could leave this miserable place and was excited to explore and get stronger by cultivating with energy in the atmosphere.
After digesting the recollected information, he was now even more curious about what the system had withheld about Ella that she wanted to tell him.
[System what else did Ella say on that day before she left].
{Ding, the words disclosed which Ella had said to herself are: "I am too far away from you Lex and although I felt a connection with you and your potential, I am only hiding in the Lower Plains and have an ability which allows me to move through space and am from a place even further than that and am being hunted, due to being a mix of two powerful races who are enemies, I hope you can continue to live and be happy without me as a burden on your heart"}.
As these last words resounded in his mind it bought a tear to his eye, his heart was cold but he had two warm spots and one was for Ella and the other for the one he accepted as a sister who he swore to save.
"Ella told me so many different identities she made up, but the actual one was that she is being prosecuted and chased by some formidable and unknown power, but I will come and find you and never let you down" he declares forming a vow.
His face stayed the same as he waves his arm as chains cover the Originator Eye Demon.
"You will stay here forever, but not as a prisoner but as a power source, although I was in an ethereal state I was still completely aware and felt the skill and power you were able to produce in a short while of having my body, I will squeeze out of you everything you know and have" he declares as disappears from the dark and damp room.
Returning to his body he felt full of life and energy and could feel a large amount of blood essence, vitality and energy sealed within his eyes. As he slowly opens his eyes, he finds that he is tied up onto a metal chair and there was an old man and a bored woman staring at him.
[Fucking hell, I only just woke up] he says to himself seeing the situation he was in.
