Chapter 312 Making True Progress
The first ring struck the ground, causing a massive explosion that sent shockwaves rippling through the training space. The impact created a crater so deep that the bottom couldn't be seen. The second ring followed, slicing through the air with a high-pitched whistle before crashing into a mountain, shattering it into countless pieces.
The third and fourth rings spiraled together, their combined energy creating a tornado of fire and ice that tore through the landscape, obliterating everything in its path. Trees, rocks, and even the air itself seemed to be consumed by the destructive force.
The fifth ring, the largest and most fearsome, hovered momentarily before launching itself at an incredible speed. It struck the ground, and the resulting explosion was so powerful that it felt like the earth itself was being torn apart. The ring's energy radiated outward, creating a shockwave that flattened everything within 30 30-kilometer radius.
"There is something different about the fifth ring" Karsha muttered but he didn't dwell on it. His focus was on the devastation caused below
He watched in awe as the devastation unfolded. The sheer power of the technique was beyond anything he had imagined. The ground was a wasteland of craters and fissures, with the air thick with dust and debris. The rings had left a path of utter destruction in their wake.
"Now that's more like it," Karsha said, a satisfied grin spreading across his face. "If this is the D-Level, I can't wait to see what the higher levels can do."
< The space is critically unstable. This space will be deactivated and will only be reactivated once it healed up. >
Karsha nodded with a smile then the space around him twisted appearing inside the Rose Garden.
Karsha nodded to himself, feeling the lingering power of the technique. "This power... it's incredible," he muttered. "I won't want to destroy any more of my space, so I'll hold it here for now."
"System, how many cores do I need to upgrade this space again?" Karsha asked. Ever since his techniques started to wreak havoc on his precious training space, he knew an upgrade was necessary.@@novelbin@@
< Requirement for next upgrade: 500,000 Tier 7 Cores, 200,000 Tier 8 Monster Cores, 50,000 Tier 9 Monster Cores >
"That is a lot," Karsha muttered, staring at the daunting number of cores required. "I have Tier 7 and some portion of Tier 8, but damn, Tier 9 is going to be a huge headache." He sighed, realizing he couldn't do anything about it just yet. His focus shifted to something more productive—his next training.
Karsha vanished and reappeared on a huge mountain. The surroundings were ethereal, bathed in a soft, ambient glow. Towering trees with silver bark and jade-green leaves stretched towards the sky, their branches swaying gently in the breeze. A thick mist hung in the air, giving the landscape a dreamlike quality. The mist seemed to shimmer with a faint, otherworldly light, making the entire area look as if it were made of misty water.
The mountain itself was covered in a lush carpet of emerald moss and delicate wildflowers, their colors vibrant against the muted backdrop of the mist. Streams of crystal-clear water cascaded down the rocky slopes, creating a soothing symphony of splashes and gurgles. The air was cool and refreshing, filled with the scent of damp earth and blooming flowers.
Karsha took a deep breath, feeling the tranquility of the place seep into his bones. Despite the serene beauty, there was an underlying sense of power in the air, as if the very essence of the mountain was charged with ancient energy.
"This place is perfect," Karsha whispered to himself, soaking in the serene yet powerful atmosphere. With a channel for the Dark Prince Hell Art already integrated into the core of his technique, he settled down and began to access it. "It would've been great if the runes were already set up for me."
As he gazed at the Darkness and Golden runes, his thoughts drifted back to the core of the Sader's Ice Strike. In the Dark Prince Hell Art's core, he had to create the runes for the elements he wanted to incorporate.
It was a complex process, but it had its benefits. Unlike the runes in the Sader's Ice Strike, which needed to be tempered with his elemental essence before they would awaken, these new runes would automatically activate once he finished creating them.
Karsha followed the process he used for the Golden Light element and began creating a new rune for the Lightning element. His flame element was strong, but he knew the yin-yang lightning was several times more powerful. He wasn't about to miss out on adding that to his arsenal.
He focused intently on the intricate patterns required for the Lightning rune. His hands moved with precision, tracing the lines and curves that would channel the raw power of lightning. The air around him seemed to crackle with potential energy as he worked, and he could feel the intensity of the task at hand.
His hand seals and strokes were that of an expert. Karsha has already gone through the process before and has memorized the patterns of the core runes, so he knew just how to go about the process without suffering and backlashes. The system also told him the stronger the element, the harder it is to integrate it into the technique.
Creating the rune was no easy feat. Each stroke of his hand had to be perfect, each curve and angle meticulously calculated. The rune had to harmonize with the core of the Dark Prince Hell Art, integrating seamlessly to enhance its power. Karsha's concentration was absolute, his mind fully immersed in the delicate art of rune creation.
After 100 days of meticulous weaving, the rune was almost formed. Karsha smiled looking at the rune forming, but he never slacked off. He knew once he made any mistake, the entire process would be destroyed and he would have to restart the whole process again.
As Karsha completed the final touches, the rune began to glow with a brilliant black-and-white light. He felt a surge of energy as the rune activated, its power merging seamlessly with the Dark Prince Hell Art. The core hummed with a satisfying resonance, and Karsha couldn't help but smile. That sound was something he remembered all too well.
"Time for the next rune, I guess," he mused. Although he was eager to test the technique, he wanted to avoid destroying any more space. Instead, he decided to move on to the next element on his list. If he was going to cause significant destruction, he'd save it for when he was using the technique in its most powerful form. He knew that once the ice element was integrated, it could destabilize the space, and with the fire element added later, it would likely lead to more destruction.
With renewed focus, Karsha began crafting the Fire Rune. His previous success with the Lightning Rune had made him more efficient, and his speed increased several times over. The process of creating the Fire Rune was more fluid and rapid, the patterns flowing effortlessly from his fingers. The rune's design was intricate, each line and curve vital to harnessing the fiery essence he sought to channel.
As the Fire Rune took shape, it began to glow with a fierce, blazing light. The energy it radiated was intense, and Karsha could feel the heat emanating from it. The core seemed to respond to the new addition, vibrating with a powerful resonance that promised to amplify the Dark Prince Hell Art even further.

The Dark Prince Hell Art is a darkness-based technique that demands a strong affinity for the darkness element to fully unlock its potential. Karsha now boasts an Excellent affinity, but he knows he's only scratching the surface of its true power.
Currently, the technique's impressive strength comes from the integration of the Golden Light element. Fortunately, he managed to tap into a fraction of the technique's full potential, thanks to the sword qi he added. Despite this progress, Karsha recognizes that to truly master the technique, he needs a much higher affinity for darkness.
The addition of other elements has significantly boosted the technique's attack power. With each new element, the Dark Prince Hell Art becomes increasingly formidable. Adding the Lightning and Fire Runes promises to enhance it even further. These elements are among the most destructive, and their integration will surely increase the technique's overall power.
Karsha was eager to test the results of his hard work. With the new runes in place, he was confident that the Dark Prince Hell Art would reach new levels of destruction. The only downside was that the more elements he added, the more Mana it would consume. Thankfully, Karsha had a vast reservoir of Mana and his regeneration abilities made it easy to recover any spent energy.
It took him about 45 days to complete the Fire Rune. The process was quicker than before, thanks to his enhanced comprehension and the experience from creating the other runes. Once the Fire Rune was finished, Karsha rose from his lotus posture, ready to put the technique to the test.
"Rise," he commanded, and instantly, the area within a 2-kilometer radius turned dark. The heavens rumbled, shaking the entire mountain. "What's happening?" Karsha tensed, watching the strange phenomenon unfold.
From the ground, a colossal head began to emerge, followed by a massive neck and a towering body. Soon, a 500-meter-tall figure appeared, with burning crimson eyes that seemed hollow but were filled with sinister flames.
"Damn, that's one ugly motherfucker," Karsha muttered. About 600 meters above the towering dark avatar of the Dark Prince, a massive dark pool materialized. Gazing into its depths, Karsha felt his consciousness being drawn in. "This thing is evil."
"Make it rain," Karsha commanded, raising his hand. Golden longswords, each burning with crimson inferno and bathed in lightning, began to rain down from the dark pool. They fell with such speed and intensity that even Karsha struggled to comprehend.
<Ding! Congratulations to the host, your connection with the swords has increased. You can now control them at will.>
"Now, that's what you call progress. Hahahaha!" Karsha laughed, thrilled by his new progress.
