Primordial Sin System

Chapter 288 - Imperial Saint

Dave couldn't help but notice Tracy's pitiful state of mind. Despite living for thousands of years, she still possessed the mentality of a teenager. Time held little significance for her kind, making her imprisonment a minor inconvenience.

"How pitiful you are," Dave murmured, gently patting her head. The warmth of his touch comforted Tracy, and Dave remained vigilant, relying on the system for reassurance. A smile blossomed on Tracy's face, akin to a blooming flower, as she eagerly inquired about Dave's world. He shared fragments of his memories, discussing the anime and s he had encountered. Tracy's curiosity piqued, and Dave retrieved several books from his spatial world, immersing her in the world of s.

Eager to delve into reading, Tracy found herself unexpectedly engrossed. "Wow, Diablo is cool, especially when summoned by Rimuru," she exclaimed with excitement. However, her joy was short-lived when she realized she had already finished the first book. Turning to Dave, she asked for the second installment.

Dave, aware of Tracy's swift reading pace, advised her to savor the books rather than rushing through them, emphasizing the importance of full comprehension. With that, he retrieved all his Tenshura books, much to Tracy's delight, causing her to embrace him in pure bliss. "Hehe, you're the best," she gleefully exclaimed, feeling a growing sense of closeness through their simple interactions. Guilt washed over her for her past actions.

"Hey, would you like to visit the sacred spring? While I enjoy my reading, I can grant you access," Tracy proposed. She had previously explained that the true sacred spring resided within her domain, a gift from her father to alleviate boredom. However, it no longer served a purpose and could not enhance her strength, as she had bathed in it during her childhood and used it regularly, rendering it ineffective.

"In exchange for some s, why don't I give it to you?" Tracy offered, feeling rather clever. Dave, though taken aback, maintained his composure, not letting her cunning plan slip through his fingers. "Okay," he agreed, secretly pleased. Tracy waved her hand, conjuring a pearl in her left palm, which she presented to Dave.

"This is the Sacred Pearl, and I have plenty of them in my spatial storage. You just need to place it in the water, and it will instantly sanctify it. However, the more you use it, the less effective it becomes," Tracy explained. Dave marveled at its function and proceeded to find a nearby pond to test it out.

With a swift motion, Dave placed the pearl in the water.

Swissh!

In an instant, the once-clear pond radiated a brilliant light, only to revert to its previous state a moment later. "You can now bathe in it," Tracy explained, and Dave, trusting her, undressed and entered the pond.

[Ding! It is detected that you are inside the sacred pool.]

[The system will assist you in absorbing the energy from the sacred pool.]

Dave understood that even without the system, he could absorb the energy, although it would take significantly longer. But thanks to the system's assistance, he could easily absorb and refine the energies from the sacred pool, enjoying its benefits. Calming himself, Dave closed his eyes.

Swoossh!

The energies within the sacred pool condensed and flowed into Dave's body in a singular direction. Tracy, who had been keeping a watchful eye, was stunned. Her face flushed due to Dave's nakedness, but she was even more astonished by his extraordinary ability to absorb the energies in such a voracious manner. It had taken her considerable time to amass and absorb a comparable amount, yet Dave surpassed her effortlessly.

Satisfied that Dave's body remained unharmed, Tracy let out a relieved sigh, acknowledging his exceptional nature. Meanwhile, Dave felt a warm aura enveloping him, his cells compressing and his body undergoing a profound transformation.

[Ding! 15% of the energy has been absorbed.] The system chimed in, notifying him of his progress.

[Ding! Your Tyrant Demonic Body has met the requirements and evolved.]

[Congratulations on acquiring a new physique: Overlord Demonic Body.]

[New Skills Acquired]

Dave was left stunned by the unexpected growth, but he continued to absorb the energies.

[Ding! 40% of the energy has been absorbed.]

[Your Demonic Bloodline has leveled up, and your Blood Magic has reached a new level.]

[Skills related to Blood Magic have leveled up.]

[You have gained a new skill under Blood Magic.]

[Blood Sanctuary] - The more blood you sacrifice, the stronger the summoned creature will be to aid you for a certain time.

The absorption process continued, and Dave broke through multiple cultivation realms in rapid succession, thanks to the immense energy of the sacred spring.

[Ding! Your cultivation has reached Low-tier Imperial Lord.]

[Ding! Your cultivation has reached Mid-tier Imperial Lord.]

[Ding! Your cultivation has reached Peak-tier Imperial Lord.]

[Ding! Your body cannot absorb any more energy from the sacred spring due to insufficient accumulation and understanding of the laws.]

Dave opened his eyes, his handsome face unable to conceal his excitement and elation. "I just broke through three major realms at once. If only my understanding of the laws were higher, I might have reached an even higher level," he marveled.

Checking his transformed body, Dave felt the immense power coursing through him as an Imperial Saint. With this newfound strength, he could establish his own organization or even rule a world if he so desired.

He estimated himself to be a hundred times stronger than before, confident in his ability to rival anyone above his current level. His thoughts turned to Yudi, itching for a chance to put his newfound power to the test. However, Yudi was not here.
