Corrupt Creations-Chapter 376

Chapter 376: Lan Xue’s Soul

Seth sat down on the floor and started to concentrate on feeling the state of his Crimson Star, what was previously, the Seed of Tyranny.

After discovering more about its origin and losing the innate fear he had of it, Seth felt excited about getting more power out of that unique and special inheritance. There was also something that was making him feel elated about it; the fact that he had recently felt the fourth seal getting loose.

He had already gained a lot, by releasing the first three seals that the Great Corruptor had created and he also knew they were mere thresholds of power that Seth had to attain, before he could release them and gain more benefits from the Crimson Star.

This first seal was opened when he got the Seed of Tyranny, back on the caves located on the Desolate Scorching Wastelands. What it did was something crucial to his journey; changing his body constitution to one that could handle the corruption. In other terms, Seth was the first one to pass the trial of evolution.

The second seal was broken when Seth was pushed to his limits while training with the Twelve Shadows. At that time, even those dark shadowy figures were left speechless and impressed by his explosive growth.

As for the third one, it had reformed his body structure entirely. Muscles, organs, tendons, blood and even his genetics down to the tiniest cells; creating the definition and outline of what would be the real “Man of Steel” in the future.

However, at this moment, Seth was feeling oscillations on the fourth seal the Great Corruptor had left behind. He felt that the time for him to release it, was getting increasingly closer, but he wasn’t so sure if it should be done now or later.

.....

‘At least, one thing is certain... Unless I cannot control the flow of corrupted energy after I open the fourth seal, everything is going to be fine. But the problem is...’

“You’re thinking about if it is safe to open the fourth seal, right?”

From inside his soul space, the voice of the spirit he liked the most, echoed through his head.

Lexi was feeding on the Spiritual Energy Seth had provided her, but after hearing his thoughts and realizing he was enamored with the dangerous idea of releasing the fourth seal, she felt compelled to come out.

“It’s not time yet.”

“Lexi? Why do you say so? The seal is practically emitting the same signals as the previous times...”

“No, not yet. This time I can feel it is different. There seems to be thin strands of soul energy coming out of the Crimson Star from time to time, so you should better wait till you can convert your Soul Essence into Soul Mist, before you try opening it.”

Seth took a few seconds before he decided to reply. ƒ𝘳ee𝔀e𝚋n૦𝐯el.c𝗼𝓂

“Are you really sure? If I could just open it and assimilate the power, I doubt anything would be able to stop me.”

“No, don’t do it yet. You have to hear me this time.”

Seth noticed the worry on her voice and decided to put aside the idea of releasing the fourth seal.

“Alright. I won’t do it then. Sigh... What a pity, even though I can control the corruption now, I’m still not able to reap all the benefits coming from it.”

Seeing that he finally listened to her, albeit a bit reluctantly, Lexi lightly snorted and returned back to her special place.

Having nothing else to do, Seth decided to work on his soul cultivation. However, just a few hours into that and he was forced to look towards Lan Xue, since the girl was undergoing a few changes in her soul plane.

There was a light blue hue circling her body and Seth could feel strands of Soul Energy, forming and moving towards her. He speculated that in a day or so, she would be able to form her own soul space.

But just when he was about to close his eyes in order to cultivate once again, his body started to resonate and deep inside his soul, something started to throb.

“This is...”

“Soul Resonance. Somehow, the Soul Link is already activating... Good for you, beast!” Lexi’s voice swiftly came out, as she couldn’t believe how lucky Seth was.

Lan Xue felt her chest pulsing, since she still hadn’t formed a soul space, and her eyelids were threatening to open. But Seth’s voice stopped her from doing that.

“Don’t worry, keep doing things according to the knowledge I imparted with you. After you have finished forming your soul space, I will tell you what is happening.”

Lan Xue heard him and kept concentrated on what was crucial. However, throughout the whole process, she kept feeling that throbbing sensation on her chest, as if something was calling for her.

And finally, almost two days later, her soul plane shook, opening a light blue space, where there was a giant iceberg that stood right at the center. That iceberg, was the initial form that her Soul Essence took, due to the specialties of her bloodline.

From deep inside of it, she felt those unfamiliar pulses, that somehow were related to the man sitting on the floor of the room where she was.

But since her consciousness was looking at the form of her own soul, she wasn’t able to see him standing and moving towards her.

When Lan Xue finally decided to leave from her reverie and ask Seth what had really happened, her lips were welcomed by a kiss, as all she could see, was his manly face.

“Hmm! Hm! Hmmm!!!”

Even though her lips were sealed, Seth understood her intentions through their recently formed Soul Link.

“Didn’t you want to know what had happened? You’ll find out after we’re done.” He used the Soul Link, to pass her a sound transmission, since he wouldn’t let go of her small red lips.

Both of his hands found the way to her exquisite delicate hands, and as their fingers interlaced together, Seth showered her with deep kisses.

For some reason, the gods must have been helping Seth, since both of them were already completely ready for the act. Maybe, it was the influence of resonance, or maybe, it was because their relationship had already changed in a way none of them expected.
