Re:Immortal

With a face filled with concentration, Omis continued observing the strange chaos energy as it rotated around his core for a few times never truly coming in touch with it.

The small stream finally settled down next to it as it started to condense into a small dot the size of a rice grain before it continued to harmlessly hover there.

He could sense that his core had not tried to intervene with the chaos energy once it made its way to his abdomen area and simply ignored it.

The chaos energy as if possessing a strange hint of intelligence did not make any moves against the golden core either as if It knew that it would instantly be annihilated by it the moment it tried.

And just like that Omis watched as the initial stages of creating a core began unfolding inside his body with an astonished expression.

'The amount of chaos energy in my body is too little to use for anything. I can not explore its uses like this!'

Reaching this train of thought, Omis's eyes shined with determination as he suddenly dropped the shield of Qi surrounding him and allowed the chaos energy in the world to flood towards him.

The Immortal world behind him was once again defiled as the pure Qi came in contact with the chaos energy as if meeting its natural nemesis the two powers continually clashed against each other turning the once celestial illusion into one of a torn world with half of it being that of heavens the other seemingly that of hell!

The entire time Omis's brows were creased as he carefully willed a small amount of chaos energy into his body and carefully guided it into the direction of the newly forming core causing it to grow larger by the minute.

Once it reached the size of five grains of rice a sudden change occurred to Omis's body!

The energy that he had been guiding and slowly accumulating abruptly dispersed without any sort of warning whatsoever!

Yet Omis was no alarmed as he continued to observe it, he still held the power to forcefully expel the energy from his body should he feel the need to.

However, until now he had yet to feel any sense of danger from the chaos energy which surprised him to no end.

He kept on tracing it as it dispersed and made it's way to his four limbs and started to merge with it!

'It's strengthening my body?'

Though the increase in power was insignificant to Omis, the fact that the chaos energy had not interfered with his current cultivation base but even went as far as strengthening his body was extremely shocking!

Did that mean that as long as he accumulated enough of this energy his body would continue getting reinforced? Just his physical strength alone was already at the level of a Golden Immortal! With the help of the Chaos energy was it possible to boost it even further?

Omis's mind was in turmoil as he thought of the various possibilities behind such strange energy, yet his mind was also constantly plagued by fear of the possibility of a side effect emerging from him cultivating two different energies.

'So far it does not seem harmful, and it does not interfere with my current cultivation base, yet I should still tread carefully as I don't know what may happen.'

Stealing his resolve, Omis was unable to alleviate his curiosity as he decided to continue experimenting on this newfound source of power.

'Who knows, maybe I'll be able to get my body to break into the God realm with the help of this Chaos energy.' He chuckled at the wild thought before closing his eyes and resuming the process of guiding the energy into his body to create a new core.

The process was long and tedious causing Omis to almost dropping it all together yet he still gritted his teeth and forced his mind to calm down as he cleared away all useless thoughts and attained a perfect meditative state.

Once he reached such a state the progress continued on smoothly as Omis lost all sense of time, his mind filled with only the thought of gathering and refining the chaos energy.

One strand after another, he continued this monotone act until his chaos core once again finally reached the five grains of rice size.

The most surprising thing was that no change occurred as it simply continued growing.

'Oh? It did not dissipate this time! Does that mean that I need to gather even more? Interesting, how does this work.'

He asked himself yet continued to gather the energy nonstop, as he pulled into his body and refined it causing the newly established core to grow bigger in size, from the five grains of rice to to the size of a thumb.

When it did, the core once again started to scatter as it crumbled the energy flowing towards his four limbs once more and strengthen them by an insignificant amount.

'Looks like the size required for it to disperse grows each time, this seems to be similar to the cultivation ranks using Qi, only the core never collapses.'

His mind was full of various thoughts about this newfound energy as he compared it with the Qi that he was familiar with.

'The normal cultivation method I am familiar with starts with the Qi gathering level where one strengthens their body as they prepare for establishing their foundation in the foundation realm, all this while the Qi never truly forms a core until one breaks to the Gold core realm, that's when all the Qi scattered across a cultivators body gathers in their abdomen so the core takes shape for the first time.' Omis sat down as he recounted the differences between each of the Qi and the Chaos energy.

“But then again with each level after the Gold core realm, one's core continues to expand and grow larger with each breakthrough it could never break or dissipate as if it did that would essentially cripple the cultivator.” He muttered to himself as this was the main point where both energies differed.

’Is the chaos energy only able to strengthen the body? Or does its abilities extend to something more?’

With such thoughts on his mind, Omis delved back into the process of slowly accumulating Chaos energy as he tries to figure out where its limits lay.

”I hope the group is safe...Addi that bastard can’t just die by something like this and Silas already ran away with Leyla ad Lu Lu. Yes, everything is fine...” He muttered as if trying to convince himself yet his eyes betrayed him showing an anxious expression.
