Darkness.
This was all that Noah felt the moment he entered into the shocking Fracture that swallowed everything!
No sound, no sight, no smell…nothing!
Even the limbs attached to his body…he wouldn’t be able to know he had them if they weren’t attached to him.
It was an extremely terrifying feeling that would make one suffocate in fear as they had a mental breakdown in seconds!
The moment he entered, an extremely terrifying energy had threatened to consume him- and it would have done so in seconds if he didn’t have the essence of the Cosmic Dao of Ruination!
In this utter darkness where nothing could be felt, Noah waited calmly as the only thing he felt was his beating heart. It only took a few seconds before the darkness began to recede, and the source of light…was Noah himself as a red aura spread forth from him to illuminate the surroundings.
THUMP
Within his body, the Ruination Cores had become active as they pulsed with his heart, releasing a unique aura that allowed the light released from Noah to spread out even faster.
Ruination Essence!
Something akin to the Primordial Essence that birthed the Primordial Cosmos, a unique type of essence that as someone traversing the Cosmic Dao of Ruination- he could only obtain small slivers of it to purify his body every now and then.
Yet in this place…there were rivers of it floating freely!
RUMBLE!
He had wondered how he could raise his strength in terms of purification of his body, the Sword Emperor having told him that geniuses could call slivers of Primordial Essence in varying frequencies that went from days to months and even years.
He…didn’t have months and years to spend while calling small, small slivers of both Primordial and Ruination Essence, and the answer was surprisingly in the ruptures that had begun destroying the Dark Universe!
He wanted to explore the mysteries of this place he was in as it felt completely different than being in the Dark Universe, but this would be put aside as he fully focused on the current finding of this unique essence.
There were rivers of this essence in this location, Noah’s body beginning to shine ever brighter as his hands reached out to a flowing river of Ruination Essence and brought it to his mouth, swallowing it and gulping it down whole!
RUMBLE
The painful process of purification that others would go through in small amounts…Noah began it en masse as a large amount of Ruination Essence burned and purified his origin and soul, the percentage of Ruination Essence Purification Effects began to rise rapidly!
Noah had to undergo immense pain and wracked apart his very soul, but he was coming out of it stronger as every .1% he saw gave him +1000% in All Parameters.
THRUM!
The river of Ruination Essence he had swallowed was quickly used up as the full percentage of purification rose to .7%.
An unexpected boon!
A wondrous surprise to find from the deadly Fractures that swallowed entire Galaxies!
Noah felt his body that had become significantly stronger as his eyes let out beams of light, his hands going forward to grab onto and swallow even more rivers of Ruination Essence.
It would be a painful procedure, but he would undergo all of it as he knew how hard it was for Sages to purify their bodies through Primordial Essence.
Nobody had the opportunity like him where he could absorb up to the Peak of what he was allowed to, and that was 15% for him due to his Cosmic Dao!
Rivers and rivers of Ruination Essence were taken in by him one after, Noah turning numb to the soul rending pain as he focused on the benefits.
When the percentage of Ruination Essence Purification Effect reached 3%, Noah stopped feeling the pain entirely as his eyes were focused on what these numbers meant.
A mere 3% was +30,000% increase to All Parameters!
This knowledge made him move with even more vigor as he went towards the ultimate goal of 15%, of +150,000% in all boosts!
When he got to that point, would the Spirit Race he had to face still be able to stand against him?

Back in the Dark Universe, Morgana’s figure was staring closely towards the nonchalant Blue Slime after its master was s.u.c.k.e.d into the Fracture.
It didn’t seem phased at all as the Sage sighed, thinking that the Tyrannical Entity had somehow survived diving into such a place that even she would not dare to!
’Just what is he…’
But with the assumption he was still alive from looking at this Summon, Morgana and the shaken Sword King by the side waited as Noah underwent an enormous boost of power in an entirely different location than any of them could expect.
A few hours passed.
In the area Noah had found himself in, his body had tendrils of red essence traveling over his skin as a shocking sensation of strength erupted from him!
It was the sort of strength one would rarely come across, the type of strength that only beings that had lived for tens of thousands of years could possibly obtain!
The strength of an extremely powerful Sage emanated from him as on the stat panel, a wondrous scene could be observed.
[Ruination Essence Purification Effects](Currently 15%) :: +150,000% to all Parameters.
“…”
A purification of 15%.
Its boosts were so high that one could barely believe it.
This abundant strength…freely flowed throughout his body as he couldn’t help but let out a bellow in the unique environment he was in!
“OOOOOH!”
