The Strongest Businessman-95 Chapter 95: Evolution!
The employee which loved him so much that she died for him. The plain and simple beauty that layed weakly on his arms bleeding from a wound that penetrated her sternum and spine and even grazed her heart.
She smiled sweetly at him as she said the words that always broke Dylan's heart everytime he remembered, "Are you unhurt, Sir Dylan?"
She spoke those words without care for her grievous wound and looked at the one she loved one with a smile.
"I am..." Dylan tried his best to hold back his tears and say something but he couldn't. He only cried and did not say anything else other than those two words but to be more accurate, he couldn't. He had more than thousands of words of apology for Leila but suddenly he could not say even a word of it.
"Sir Dylan, could you pat me on the head one more time?" Leila requested but her voice was weaker than before yet her eye shone excitedly.
"Of course..." Dylan obeyed her and patted Leila's head gently which was followed by a very weak "thank you".
"I love you... Dylan." Leila confessed with a voice that did not seem to be hers. Maybe it was because she was already on her deathbed and she was out of breath but she closed her eyes with a smile on her face after.
*Whoosh* A gentle wind was heard out of nowhere and Leila's body was scattering like sand being lifted by the wind.
"Noooooo!" Dylan unwillingly screamed and felt the uselessness he felt on the day that Leila died in his arms.
Everything suddenly turned into a blur. Dylan was trapped in borderless darkness once more. He floated there alone and lost. He still could not get over what just happened to him. He met Rose, Elizabeth and Leila, all of which were significant to him in different ways in all his lives, in the dream-like reality.
Each one felt so real that Dylan almost had this suspicion that he might have travelled back in time which was impossible. What was the reason he met those three girls in that near to reality dream? Maybe he might never know.
...
After several minutes of drifting aimlessly, Dylan started to feel pain and it grew stronger as moments passed. He could sense that he was sitting all of a sudden and feel his limbs and entire body.
"Gwaargh!" Dylan opened his eyes with a roar and fell flatly on the ground after vomiting mouthfuls of blood. When he exited his meditation, Dylan felt that his body was beyond sore and he could barely move a finger. He was breathing with his entire chest trying to grasp some air to recover.
Dylan could feel the large breaks in his skin that were still bleeding, the cracks in almost all of his bones in his torso, the severing of various muscles and even the failing organs of his body! Dylan was truly close from dying in his current situation. Thankfully, he was able to get out because 5 minutes more, his body would be destroyed and he would die in such an unsightly manner.
...
"I knew my brother would not die that easily!" Barry was outside jumped in joy when he saw Dylan move. His heart sank when he saw Dylan's body continuously bleeding from his mouth and nose, even with his eyes! But no matter how much blood Dylan has lost and how his skin started to break and bleed, he never lost hope because as long as there was that strand of life within Dylan, he would never assume that he was dead.
...
"There's no way I would die here!" Dylan roared like an animal! He used his willpower to sit cross-legged to activate the formation.
Despite dearly struggling to get into position, he gritted his teeth and finally moved into position but by forcefully doing so, his body was cracking with every move he made and blood even squirted out of this cracks!
Because of the dream, he finally found and figure out the reasons to not die and never give up! One, he needed to become stronger so that he can go back to Earth and meet Rose again! Two, he will not let the effort of his past owner go to waste and he will prove that he was not the trash that everyone saw him to be! Three, he can't die for he owed this life to Leila and Frank who willingly gave up their lives for his sake and Scarlet's! Four, he will become a Saint before the age of 40 and reunite with Scarlet! Lastly, he needs to avenge his master, who has given him the chance to cultivate and to grow stronger, by killing the mastermind of his murder!
With this reasons giving him the will to fight and to never back down from any type of adversity, he will never have any reason to give up any more!
"Activate!!" He used the energy from the formation which was now emitting crimson blood light to reform his Legendary Core! The energy had the same aura as Dylan have and it could even be said that it was perfectly compatible with Dylan's body!
Due to Dylan's blood mixing with the combination of the medicinal essence of the 3 batches of low ranked herbs he put in the formation, it made a hybrid energy that was solely compatible to Dylan! One should keep in mind that Dylan's blood was from two royal lineages: half from a true king clan's bloodline, the Ford Clan and the other half from the strongest talent of the Magma Royal Family!
Being accidentally absorbed and refined by the Minor Heavenly Refining Formation, it somewhat extracted a portion of the hidden potential hiding in Dylan's hybrid bloodline and fused it with the medicinal essence and crafted a miraculous hybrid energy!
Extremely concentrated and pure hybrid energy flowed through every single cell within Dylan's dilapidated body. It brought an epic change from within Dylan's body as his body started to heal rapidly and emanate crimson light!
Dylan guided most of the energy through the use of his Magnate Strength to his broken Legendary Core.. Even if Dylan did not have a teacher yet, Dylan still practiced using his Magnate Strength on his own. He would suck at first but with diligence, he was able to slowly develop control over it for the past two months.
As the Legendary Core was being mended, it experienced a never before seen transformation amongst eons! The Legendary Core now had twice the depth it previously had which meant that it's energy reserves is comparable to 10 spirit cores now! Instead of a golden yellow hue, it now had a mixture of crimson with it. A Crimson-Gold Legendary Core!!
This evolution not only affected Dylan's spirit core, it also affected his whole body! Every single bone, muscle, organ, and down to all the cells in the body experienced a groundbreaking transformation! His body was now being refined by the energy of the refining formation! It is being tempered by the energy it is absorbing to a whole new level!
...
"Incredible!" Barry who was watching this miraculous transformation has his jaws dropped. Just a minute ago, Dylan was having a near death experience and his body was completely in shambles. But, now, his entire body was recovering at a visible rate to the point where all of wounds were clotting and shedding themselves automatically. It was like he was witnessing the wonderous rebirth.
"Wait, is this what is called Constitution Evolution?! Didn't he say this was only reformation?!" Barry realized what was happening after he remembered an ancient record regarding a theory of human constitution.
Barry did not believe it but he could sense a qualitative change happening inside Dylan's body and his body was not only abruptly healing itself, it was also tempering Dylan's body with the hybrid energy of the formation! Constitution Evolution was described as myth even in the record but if it were to occur, the author wrote that it will occur a heavenly tribulation for it is a direct opposition to heaven's will!
"You must overcome this brother! If you do, this will be your first step to become a supreme expert!" Barry cheered for Dylan as loud as he can. He wanted to help him when the Heavenly Tribulation comes but if he did, it would only increase its strength and try to grind both of them to dust!
....
Above the cave, the starry night sky was covered by a cluster dark grey clouds with lightning and thunder rumbling from the inside. It was 30 meters wide already at this moment. However, it is still continuing to grow by devouring other clouds and producing streaks of lightning! In just a matter of seconds it was 10 times its' previous size!
This was the Heavenly Tribulation!
...
After the evolution was done, Dylan opened his dark eyes. His skin was faintly exuding a crimson-gold light, even his hair faintly exuded that light! He was even half a head taller compared before and his clothes was no longer white, instead it was completely red due to the blood stains. Overall, he looked a completely different person than before.
Under him was the Minor Heavenly Refining Formation which was weakly emanating energy due to being used as a supplement for Dylan to successfully make his Legendary Core evolve. The minute energy left was also quickly dispersing which also made the forcefield weaker by the minute.
"What a wonderful feeling this is! So this is the evolved form of the Legendary Core, huh? It has a crimson-gold light and was twice deeper than the former. I'll call you Supreme Core!" Dylan rejoiced and named his evolved Legendary Core as the Supreme Core!
He felt that it was only appropriate to name it as so because to be greater than a legend, one must reign as a supreme to be immortalized into the annals of history!
"Let's see what other uses it has!" Dylan excitedly closed his eyes and planned to use all the 360 Deca-Stones he had. He quickly crushed the Deca-Stones and absorbed the energy within. It possessed the same insta-refinement that the Legendary Core also had which made it easy for Dylan to transform the energy to his own!
His cultivation quickly leaped!
Initial 1st level Spirit Core!
Pinnacle 2nd level Spirit Core!
Peak 3rd level Spirit Core!
High 4th level Spirit Core!
Intermediate 5th level Spirit Core!
Initial 6th level Spirit Veins!!
He unhesitatingly used 90 Deca-Stones to cross the entire Spirit Core Realm! His consumption rate has greatly increased once more because of the greater storage he has. However, this did not dishearten him, as it was a sign that he got vastly stronger than before! It just proved that all the hardships he has been through was worth it!
Pinnacle 7th level Spirit Veins!
Initial 8th level Spirit Veins!
High 8th level Spirit Veins!
Pinnacle 8th level Spirit Veins!
Dylan continued with his mad way of cultivation! He used the remaining 270 stones to breakthrough! He then, ultimately reached the level of Pinnacle 8th Level Spirit Veins Realm!
He knew that if he had this amount of 270 stones instead of 180 stones back then when he was at the High 6th Realm, he would have long reached the Awakened Spirit Realm. But, with his Supreme Core, it was only enough for him to reach the pinnacle of the 8th level Spirit Veins Realm.
But, he did not let it get to him because he had already calculated that it was going to happen.
After breaking through, Dylan stood up and stretched his body. He now felt that it was truly fulfilling to be stronger.
"Brother, you did it!" Barry celebrated for Dylan has succeeded in evolving his constitution. When he saw that the forcefield weakened, he took the opportunity and destroyed it.
"Mn." He heard Barry's cheers and gave him a nod with a thumbs up sign to indicate he was okay.
"Thank goodness, you're okay." Barry was glad when he saw Dylan stand up and he felt relieved nothing happened to him. He quickly approached Dylan and saw that he was perfectly fine. All that was left was the Heavenly Tribulation so he looked up as well with a serious expression.
"I'll face you head on!" Dylan felt the disturbance from above and knew that he incurred the wrath of the heaven's but he did not falter. It was strange because he felt that his body was far different from before!
It was like a new power hidden in him was unlocked and he felt overwhelmingly good due to this. He even felt that he might stand a chance against the tribulation!
