Chapter 1213 Assimilation And Back To Earth (Part 3)
The moment Evan entered the portal, he felt his body sinking rapidly as if he had jumped into a muddy swamp, and his vision turned black.
Evan had entered portals many times before, so he didn't panic because of the sudden blindness and waited patiently.
Within a few seconds, his vision recovered, and he found himself drifting forward in a narrow void tunnel. Some distance away, he noticed Velgoth, who looked like a dead fish, struggling to maintain his balance as the void tunnel moved rapidly around him.
Because all of Velgoth's powers were sealed by Evan before he threw him into the World Passage, Velgoth still hadn't recovered from the blindness, and his fragile body was slowly being corroded by the powerful void energy that filled the tunnel.
Although Evan saw that Velgoth's condition wasn't good, he didn't unseal his powers, fearing that the void tunnel wouldn't be able to withstand the pressure of a Rank Five Core Evolver.
Instead of unsealing Velgoth's powers, he used his own void energy to move towards Velgoth, and once he was just a few meters away, he created a barrier made of void energy to protect him.
Under the protection of the barrier, Velgoth soon regained his senses and sighed in relief.
After taking care of Velgoth, Evan glanced down the narrow path of the void tunnel and realized how chaotic it was. If it hadn't been for his passive authority Void Manipulation, it would have been extremely difficult for him to protect Velgoth—who was currently as weak as a normal human being—from the chaotic void energy surrounding them.
"I don't think this World Passage would have been able to handle the pressure of a Rank Five Core Evolver..." Evan muttered, his mouth twitching as he looked at Velgoth, who also had a gloomy look on his face.
After learning that Krythorion and the others were coming to the Azragoth World, Velgoth had sped up the construction of the World Passage. Even though he had used many resources to make it stable from the outside, only now, after seeing the surrounding void tunnel, did he realize that if he had entered the World Passage without sealing his powers, it would have definitely collapsed.
'It's good that I didn't rush into the World Passage and decided to follow him...' Velgoth thought to himself with a sigh of relief.
As they continued to move through the tunnel, Evan glanced at the notification in front of him.
---) Current Assimilation: 36%...37%...38%...
After looking at it for a few seconds, Evan shifted his attention to the three tasks he had received when he first came to the Azragoth World and saw that all three of them were still pending.
'Well... other than killing Velgoth, the other two tasks should be completed once the assimilation reaches one hundred percent...' Evan muttered inwardly and then noticed that the Rune of Evolution—engraved on his chest was still glowing faintly.
Earlier, when he had reached mid-level Rank Three using the pure essence, the Rune of Evolution suddenly activated.
But because Krythorion and the others had entered the Azragoth World at the same time, he hadn't had the time to investigate what was happening with it.
"What is going on with this thing..." Evan frowned as he used his spiritual senses to check what was wrong with the Rune of Evolution.
Unfortunately, aside from noticing that a strange energy was brewing within the Rune of Evolution, he didn't find anything else.
"It shouldn't be something dangerous, right?" Evan muttered to himself and took a deep breath, focusing his attention once more on the void tunnel around him, while also keeping an eye on the energy brewing within the Rune of Evolution.
For the next few hours, Evan and Velgoth drifted within the void tunnel without encountering any danger. As they floated forward, Evan could feel his connection with Elysia and his other shadow undeads, whom he had left behind on Earth growing stronger, indicating that he was getting closer to them.
---) Current Assimilation: 49%...
The assimilation of the Azragoth World and the Primordial Shadow Realm continued to increase at a steady pace. However, as the rate of assimilation increased, it was also gradually slowing down, as if the Azragoth World was attempting to defend itself from being swallowed.
Evan didn't worry too much about this, because even though the progress was slow, it was still increasing. This meant that sooner or later, the Azragoth World would be completely swallowed by the Primordial Shadow Realm.
Suddenly, Evan noticed that the energy within the void tunnel was becoming more chaotic, and arcs of purple-blue lightning began to appear out of nowhere. These arcs, filled with destructive power, moved through the void tunnel like snakes.
Evan looked at the arcs of purple-blue lightning and remembered that he had encountered them the first time he crossed the void space to enter the Azragoth World.
Velgoth also noticed the lightning arcs, and upon feeling their destructive power, his eyes widened in fear and he glanced at Evan, clearly hoping that he would unseal his powers.
Evan felt Velgoth's gaze, but he ignored it and moved forward, placing himself in front of Velgoth.
As soon as Evan neared the area filled with lightning, his Heart of Origin once again reacted like last time and the terrifying lightning—capable of easily killing even Rank Five and Rank Six Core Evolvers—vanished.
Velgoth was stunned by what he saw, but since Evan did not explain, he chose not to ask any questions.
After they passed through the area filled with lightning, both of them continued drifting forward for another ten hours.
Through his connection with Elysia and the others, Evan could feel that they were about to exit the void tunnel.
---) Current Assimilation: 89%...90%...
Evan looked at the assimilation progress in front of him and nodded.
"It should be finished in about two or three hours at most..." He muttered to himself and the next moment, a bright silver light engulfed both him and Velgoth.
Evan closed his eyes to shield them from the light, and when he opened them again, he found himself standing high in the sky.
A cold wind brushed past his cheeks, and when he looked down, he saw towering ice-covered mountains.
"Am I in Antarctica or somewhere?" He muttered softly and used his spiritual senses.
But the moment he did, his eyes widened in disbelief, and only one word escaped his lips.
"Fu*k!"
