The System Awakens: Rise of the Champion

When Damian began his [Qi Cultivation], he learned that there were many cultivation levels.

To successfully reach the peak of each cultivation level or realm, one needed to form a representation of that particular stage.

Only by doing so could they fully attain the peak of that realm.

For example, to reach the peak stage of the [Foundation Establishment Realm], a cultivator needed to form a Seed using the [Qi] inside their [Dantian].

The development of this Seed was divided into four stages: lower stage, middle stage, upper stage, and peak stage.

Forming a single Seed was enough to advance to the next cultivation level, but some geniuses would push their limits and form multiple Seeds.

he more Seeds one formed, the stronger their foundation became.

A single Seed represented a single foundation, while two Seeds meant a dual foundation.

The greater the number of Seeds, the stronger the cultivator's potential and power.

However, even the most talented geniuses could only form three or four Seeds at most.

But Damian was different.

He defied all limits and formed an astonishing nine Foundation Seeds, achieving the Supreme Stage, a level thought to be impossible.

As a result, his strength far surpassed that of any other Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator, making him the strongest of them all.

However, none of that mattered anymore.

Damian was no longer just a [Qi Cultivator]; he had transformed into something far greater, a type of cultivator the universe had never seen before.

He had stepped onto a new path, one that allowed him to wield all techniques, methods, and skills.

A path that would make him undefeated, the strongest of them all.

He had taken the first step when he created a unique energy that only he could wield, [Infinity Essence].

Now, he was reshaping his cultivation to best suit and fully welcome the extraordinary power of [Infinity Essence].

The golden-colored [Infinity Essence] surged into his [Dantian] like an opened floodgate, rapidly filling his vast and powerful inner world.

It enclosed the nine Foundation Seeds, resonating with his very existence.

His inner world, his Dantian, and even the air around him trembled intensely.

The earth beneath him shuddered as if responding to his transformation.

Inside his [Dantian], the nine Foundation Seeds, now enveloped by the overwhelming power of [Infinity Essence], began to shake violently.

Cracks spread across them, deepening with each passing moment.

Then, in an instant, they shattered into nothingness.

[You have destroyed your foundation seeds.]

[Your cultivation has been completely destroyed.]

[Your physical attributes have been reduced: -12.]

The stats he gained when he cultivated the Nine Foundation Seeds have also been destroyed along with his cultivation.

[You are attempting to create a new cultivation method unique to you.]

[The registration function has been triggered.]

[Registering the new cultivation method into the system database…]

Golden energy filled his [Dantian] to the brim before it suddenly started to condense.

The energy continued to condense for a few minutes before finally taking the thin shape of the symbol of infinity.

As it continued condensing, it eventually formed a complete, thick golden ring shaped like the symbol of infinity.

As soon as the golden infinity ring formed inside his [Dantian], another wave of tremors surged through his entire existence.

His figure released waves of golden energy, sweeping wind in all directions.

While this was happening, on the dorsal side of his left hand, the symbol of infinity appeared, releasing a golden glow.

It looked like it was made from molten gold, forming the infinity symbol on the back of his hand.

[You have successfully created a new cultivation method for yourself.]

[As per your will, the new cultivation method has been registered as [The Path Of Infinity].]

[You have formed the 1st Infinity Ring.]

[Your physical attributes have increased: +15.]

However, the golden energy did not stop filling his [Dantian].

After a few more minutes, another infinity-shaped golden ring appeared, slightly larger than the first.

[You have formed the 2nd Infinity Ring.]

[Your physical attributes have increased: +25.]

[Your new system of [The Path Of Infinity] has been registered in the system database.]

[To increase your cultivation further, you must form the 3rd Infinity Ring.]

[3rd Infinity Ring Formation Condition: Increase the reserves of your [Infinity Essence].]

[The cultivation method [The Path Of Infinity] does not require any cultivation techniques or manually molded energy foundations, as the [Infinity Essence] automatically forms the [Infinity Rings] in your [Dantian]. However, for each [Infinity Ring], you must increase your [Infinity Essence] to a certain limit.]

[1st Infinity Ring: +100 Infinity Essence]

[2nd Infinity Ring: +225 Infinity Essence]

[3rd Infinity Ring: +375 Infinity Essence]

[4th Infinity Ring: ???]

[Your [Magic Cultivation] has been transformed into [Infinity Magic Cultivation].]

-As a side effect of interlinked energy core synchronization, the energy required to increase reserves has increased significantly.

Damian calmly opened his eyelids, revealing his eyes glowing with golden energy before it slowly faded away.

"That was pretty intense," Damian muttered as he closed and opened his fist before glancing at the golden infinity sigil on the back of his left hand, which pulsed with a golden glow.

"I wonder how long I was in that state?" Damian muttered, looking at the system panel.

[Remaining time until war begins: 00(D):02(H):07(M):44(S)]

"Jesus Christ, I was in that state for almost two days?" Damian exclaimed in awe.

There were only three hours left until the war between him and the vampires began.

While he was in the state of Epiphany, it had felt like only a couple of hours had passed, but in reality, more than two days had gone by.

"Should I go back?" Damian rubbed his chin in thought. Seeing that there were still two hours left, he wasn't in a rush.

"Let's see if I can make myself more powerful in these two hours."

Damian looked at his inventory and saw that he still had [+2 Random Martial Weapon Cards] left.

Deciding to test his luck, he used them.

[You have used a Random Martial Weapon Card.]

[You have used a Random Martial Weapon Card.]

Two roulettes appeared, each showcasing various kinds of weapons. After watching them spin for a few moments, Damian spun both at the same time. The roulettes whirred rapidly before coming to a stop.

[You have obtained the Special Grade Martial Weapon: Dagger of Nuada.]

[You have obtained the Special Grade Martial Weapon: Balmung, The Sword of Doom.]

A red dagger with dark black accents materialized, exuding an aura of death and the cries of countless battles.

Damian could feel the heat radiating from it, as though it had been forged from death and blood itself.

-----

[Item: Dagger of Nuada]

[A dagger with a mind of its own, forged from the blades of one thousand warlords and tempered with the blood of ten thousand warriors. The dagger yearns to kill.]

-----

In the second roulette, Damian obtained a sword.

A massive broadsword, about six feet in length, appeared before him.

The double-edged blade gleamed with golden hues, while its silver handle was adorned with dark black inscriptions that ran along its entire length.

-----

[Item: Balmung, The Sword of Doom]

[A longsword forged by the divine craftsmen of the Norse Pantheon, made from the indestructible metal Uru and tempered with the blood of ten thousand giants. Having cut down countless beings of divine origin, the sword has developed a spirit of its own.]

-----

After obtaining the weapons and forming a contract with them, Damian proceeded to hunt dozens of elemental spirits, devouring their energies to increase his own reserves.

Since all his interlinked energy cores were in synchronization, increasing the reserves of any single energy type would automatically enhance the others.

For example, if he increased his fire essence by one point, all his other energy reserves would also increase by one point.

However, there was a significant downside to this ability.

To increase any of his energy reserves by just one point, he needed to absorb energy 22 times greater than usual.

Since he possessed 22 types of energy, boosting his reserves required absorbing a proportionally larger amount.

If he gained additional energy types in the future, the required energy intake would increase even further.

After devouring so many spirits, Damian's energy reserves rose from 350 to 375, and he finally accumulated enough energy to form the third Infinity Ring in his dantian.

[You have formed the 3rd Infinity Ring.]

[Your physical attributes have increased: +35.]

Damian glanced at the system panel and saw that he had only ten minutes left before the war began.

Taking a deep breath, he checked his status one last time.
