Rebirth: Tyrant's New Reality

Arkhen, Emily, and Azela sat cross-legged on the ground with their eyes closed in meditation.

After roughly ten seconds, they sensed the trigger for a breakthrough and without hesitation, commenced their breakthroughs.

Inside Arkhen's body, the three cores were floating in a blank space called Potential Expanse.

Inside Potential Expanse, Arkhen's all three cores were shining brightly after he triggered the breakthrough. It was the same with Azela and Emily.

After several seconds of shining brightly, cracks appeared on the cores, and soon, they shattered into tiny sparks.

The countless tiny sparks started whirling around in a whirlpool form and soon formed a small pond.

Emily and Azela manifested one pond each, the Primal pond.

Though in Arkhen's Potential Expanse, three ponds appeared: Primal pond, Chi pond, and Mana pond.

The ponds were floating, and they had a white crystal-like border around them. The primal pond was filled with primal energy in liquefied form, the Chi pond was filled with liquefied chi energy, and the Mana pond was filled with liquefied mana energy.

From now on, they had to refine the pond. Doing so would increase their EP and also expand the pond to increase their energy capacity. However, Arkhen's Primal pond and Chi pond were connected to unlimited sources because of his Superpowers.

Of course, these superpowers also had visible forms, and they were in Potential Expanse as well.

A black crystal with sparkling black motes was the manifestation of the Undead Realm superpower.

A dark red crystal with dark red sparks was the manifestation of the Ruined Empyrean superpower.

And... A dreamy white crystal with light blue sparks was the manifestation of Perpetual Prime superpower.

All three crystals were floating in the Potential Expanse's other section besides the ponds.

That aside, the main thing was the refinement of the energy ponds. To do that, one needs to absorb essences from the atmosphere or essence stones and infuse them into the border of the ponds.

A single refinement session consisted of filling up the entire crystal border with essence once, which would slightly expand it. Thus, increasing the capacity of the pond to house more energy and also increase the EP.

A single refinement session would increase EP by 100 and energy cap by 1000. Once EP increases, people can use stronger energy from the pond (because of higher EP) to strengthen their physical bodies.

…

After thirty minutes, Arkhen, Emily, and Azela opened their eyes as they had finished the entire breakthrough process.

Arkhen instantly felt his physical body strengthening quite a lot because the additional physical stats he got from his bloodline were finally unleashed after he broke through his previous limit.

[Congratulations! You have successfully broken through to become a 1st- class existence]

[As your physique has reached the 1st realm boundary, your hidden stats are revealed. Your soul stat is still locked as you need to make a connection with a Star of Endowment to awaken your soul]

[The new daily quest, side quest, and main quest will generate after 24 hours]

…

"What do we do now? According to the scroll, we need essence stones or a place filled with rich essence energy to refine our ponds and increase EP," Azela said.

"Before that, I have a surprise for you two," Arkhen said with a grin. "Think of the word 'Inventory' in your head and sense it. That is your personal storage space, and there is a gift box inside. Take it out and open it."

"Yeah, I heard that people who ascend by solidifying connection to the realm get an Ascendancy gift," Emily said as she looked at Arkhen with a questioning gaze and asked, "Are you talking about that gift?

"Yep. People who normally ascend here get an Ascendancy gift from the realm and it helps them a lot. We also got such gifts but in a different way because of me," Arkhen said before taking out his Ascendancy gift box from the system.

It looked like a normal wooden box with eccentric carvings on it.

Azela and Emily also took out their gift boxes. They also looked the same as the one Arkhen took out.

"Let's open it," Azela said with anticipation in her eyes as she opened the box.

Arkhen and Emily also opened as all three boxes glowed and disappeared before leaving three different things on the ground.

All three of them also got information about the item they received.

'Oh, this is interesting. Does everyone gets a Realm Artifact?' Arkhen asked since Azela and Emily also got a Realm Artifact.

[Yes, my lord. Everyone also gets a Realm Artifact that can turn into an inheritance of a random Exclusive skill after being used up].

In front of Arkhen was a black bell with dark gold patterns.

[Bell of Gracious Doom]

-Realm Artifact

-Use: Infusing primal energy in the bell will ring a melody in the head of the selected target to activate the effect. You can select the target by focusing your gaze on that being.

-Effect: You will enter a clash of wills with your target's will. If you win in this clash, the target will come under your absolute control for one month and obey your commands.

-1st Note: You can only use this artifact three times whether successful or not. The moment you infused primal energy in the bell, it will be considered used once.

-2nd Note: After this artifact is used three times, it will transform into an inheritance of a random exclusive skill.

-2nd Note: This Artifact will only work while you are in the 1st realm: Breadth of the Wildered. Once you ascend to the second realm, this Artifact will automatically disappear even if you haven't used it up, and you also won't gain the exclusive skill.

Arkhen also saw the Artifact of Emily and Azela. But he could only see the name for now.

Azela got [Shell of Mizgin]. This artifact looked like a white conch shell with light brown and blue patterns.

Emily got [Feather of Dark-shade]. It was a mystical black feather with a darker shade of metallic shining black patterns.

"This can be super useful," Azela said with shining eyes as she handed her artifact to Arkhen. "Take a look. It's awesome."

"Indeed. People should definitely ascend normally instead of going through artificial portals," Emily said with raised eyebrows. "These things are super useful."
