Hero of Darkness

Kahn's body jolted in excitement after he felt the immense surge of mana and world energy through his body running like lightning striking during a rainstorm. However, this rush of power was also extremely exciting for him because it was the highest level of strength he felt in his body.

"Arghhh!" he shouted as an immense surge of world energy and mana ran amok inside his body and he looked like Thanos trying to handle the power of the gauntlet after gathering all the infinity stones.

And this was just 0.01% of the mana and world energy of the total reserves in this peak saint's core who was close to becoming a Demi-God.

Kahn remembered Solomon's words at this moment.. That the core was so powerful that it could obliterate the entire capital Rathna that was 2700 kilometers in total perimeter.

And now he firmly believed those words because if the hundredth fraction of the total power was already so overwhelming even for him, the strongest semi-saint of the entire Rakos empire… then it was definitely a hundred times more terrifying to handle in reality.

Kahn finally understood why the system had warned him to not even think about absorbing this core and the energy stored in it before he at least became a fourth stage saint.

Because just like the system said… he was simply too weak to handle even one percent of the mana and world energy stored inside.

So absorbing it to raise his levels and ranks was simply impossible even if he tried to do so bit by bit.

If not for the soul link that had tied him to this peak saint's core… Kahn wouldn't have been able to access or use this core as a source either.

Just the 0.01% world energy and mana were more than enough for Kahn to easily cross level 200 and officially become a saint.

Sadly… he couldn't do it because it was too great of a force for his body to handle and he'd get blown to small atoms if he tried to harness any more power.

However, this was also a godsend opportunity.

At this moment… Kahn felt like some godly being was watching over him who made him meet Solomon, become the successor of the first emperor and then bound his core to him a year ago.

Just so that Kahn could eat Solomon's core to meet the prerequisite conditions to unlock his most OP divine ability and use this peak saint's as a source to study and practice space law and use it to perfect his Dimensional Law divine ability.

And this godly being planned everything way ahead of time while Kahn was struggling to become the strong guy in a small place like the Flavot city.

Kahn felt tipping his hat off to that smart and foresighted being who set up everything in motion way too long ago while he himself couldn't make sense of anything that happened around him and even his journey till this point.

After returning to the current moment, Kahn kept touching the core with his right hand and meditated as he stood still in order to keep feeling and understanding the space around him.

Minutes… and then hours passed by as Kahn underwent a trance and didn't even move a muscle. Because at this moment… he wasn't living in the normal world… rather something that felt surreal and otherworldly to him.

While during that state of trance, Kahn felt his grasp and understanding of space itself widening and the more he carried his practice, the more he felt like his reach was expanding at a visible rate.

As he was completely lost in thoughts while trying to understand the concept of space law after feeling it… he started thinking of ways about how to access it as his will.

But as he reached towards the end of his current session… something unexpected happened.

Inside Kahn's head… his consciousness underwent a miraculous change.

Suddenly, Kahn felt like he was present in his current location but also at every other end of the 100 meter radius as if thousands of Kahn were standing and watching over the space around him from different locations, directions and angles.

His consciousness expanded till the point that even the ceiling had hundreds of Kahn bundled together looking and comprehending the space around him that passed the restrictions of state of a matter and time itself.

3 HOURS LATER.

The quiet and still surrounding of the room finally felt like it had someone occupying it.

"So that's how it was…." spoke Kahn as he was still lost in his thoughts.

"The space isn't just a law of reality… it is the part of existence that allows for other aspects of reality to exist inside it." he said as if newfound information was passed into his mind.

"It is not dependent on time or matter. Even if time itself ceased to exist… it will never affect the space.

Me, the air, small particles, different forms of mana, elements, energy and everything else is just temporarily occupying it.

We're all bound by time and laws of reality… but space itself isn't bound by anything.

It never was.. And it never will." spoke Kahn to himself as he received enlightenment.

After another hour of going through this groundbreaking enlightenment, Kahn opened his eyes and returned to the present moment.

Thanks to the first emperor's core that supplied him with enough source of mana and world energy that helped Kahn feel and understand the space law for more than 4 hours now… something that would've taken him a couple of years to achieve if he didn't have this core.. He finally reached a level of understanding of the law that exceeded everything he read in the book by hundredfolds.

"Let's give it a try." spoke Kahn and summoned Lucifer in his hands.

The next moment, an intangible force suddenly erupted from his body and surrounded the black greatsword with crimson patterns on the blade.

Whilst Kahn's figure looked like it was blurring from place to place as if he didn't exist in this plane of reality anymore.

This intangible energy started coalescing around Lucifer's blade and formed a layer at the edges.

Slash! Slash!

But instead of waiting another second, Kahn made a vertical and then a horizontal slash into the vacant and open space in front of him.

SHRILL!!

A high-pitched sound of something hard and metallic object being cut open filled the chamber and now… a tear in space was formed in front of Kahn.

But before he could even move or react, Kahn heard a notification.

[Congratulations to the host for successfully creating Dimensional Void crack!]
