The Witch Hunter System

Chapter 878: Primordial Avatar



Vaan couldn't help but marvel at the vastness of the Profound Pearl of Life's space the more time he spent within. It wasn't a joke when it was said that the True Divinity-rank treasure was refined from the essence of an unborn chaosverse.

But what was an unborn chaosverse?

A super dense ball of hot energy that failed to erupt and go through the big bang process? If it didn't erupt, then what became of it? Did it just cool down and solidify? What kind of energy was it made of?

More importantly, was it a natural unborn chaosverse? Or was it artificially created?

Although Vaan heard True Divinities could create new celestial bodies at their level of power, he still found it hard to believe that they could do so on the scale of an entire chaosverse.

It was more likely done by someone who had stepped beyond True Divinity if it was an artificial unborn chaosverse.

But if that were also true, the value of the Profound Pearl of Life would be countless times greater due to its rarity and creation difficulty.

After Vaan finally reached the heart of the sea of blood and slaughter energy, he finally found what he was looking for-the hidden piece left by his younger brother, the Lord of Chaos.

In the heart of the sea of blood and slaughter energy, a spherical energy barrier was found, protecting a single white humanoid body inside. This white humanoid body didn't have any notable features; it was a blank slate, no different from a mannequin.

However, Vaan also knew it was anything but a mere mannequin.

Even from a distance, he could tell that the blank humanoid body was made from an extraordinary material. He couldn't exactly tell what the material was, but it screamed of indestructibility.

Of course, that was only in terms of defense. It was questionable how much power the humanoid body could exert when controlled.

Nevertheless, Vaan had already confirmed the Lord of Chaos's intention the moment he saw the humanoid body.

'Hm? This energy barrier...' Vaan paused.

In order to obtain the seemingly indestructible humanoid body, he had to remove the energy barrier protecting it, which shouldn't be a problem with the power of the Nihility Law.

However, upon closer inspection, the energy barrier was found to be far too complex to be an ordinary barrier. There were countless layers of microscopic runes encasing the energy barrier.

In fact, it wasn't far-fetched to say that the energy barrier itself was completely made up of these tiny runes.

While the defensive power of these runes enhanced the energy barrier greatly, it wasn't to the point of being unbreakable. As such, it could still be torn apart with the power of the Nihility Law, which could erase everything from existence.

However, doing so would be a waste of an opportunity given by the Lord of Chaos.

Evidently, such a complex series of runes on the energy barrier possessed more functions than just providing enhanced protection.

Just by considering the positioning of the humanoid body and the sea of blood and slaughter energy, it wasn't difficult to guess what the energy barrier might do if Vaan unlocked it through the designated method.

Obviously, if the humanoid body stored all of the blood and slaughter energy, it would possess Valefor's former cultivation level.

But since that was how it should be, why wasn't the sea of blood and slaughter energy stored inside the humanoid body in the first place?

Vaan guessed that leaving Valefor's cultivation inside the ownerless humanoid body would corrupt it and risk the humanoid body developing its own ego.

As such, the Lord of Chaos was arranged in such a way as to ensure he could bind it and claim ownership without a problem.

The sea of blood and slaughter energy was most likely to be drawn into the humanoid body after binding it the correct way.

But what was the method to activate the functions in the energy barrier and bind the humanoid body?

Well, the most common binding method in Chaos was through blood.

Vaan only hoped it would be as simple as a drop of blood instead of a bucket's load of it, considering his bad history of blood-binding.

That said, he couldn't even attempt the blood-binding right away as he was only present with his consciousness.

After Vaan withdrew his consciousness from the Profound Pearl of Life, his attention paused on the object for a moment.

The humanoid body was deep inside the Profound Pearl of Life. He couldn't take it out unless he had control of it.

That said, the Profound Pearl of Life was also a type of heavenly artifact.

Thus, it should be bindable as well, right?

With that thought in mind, Vaan cut his thumb and dripped a drop of his potent blood on the Profound Pearl of Life.

In that instant, his blood triggered some hidden runic functions in the Profound Pearl of Life. At the same time, Vaan also felt a slight yet permanent decrease in his soul force to maintain a connection with it.

With the newfound connection he shared with the Profound Pearl of Life, he was able to see how truly incredible the Profound Pearl of Life was.

It was worthy of being a True Divinity-rank treasure that had been refined from the essence of an unborn chaosverse. It was truly vast, with an endless supply of life energy.

He didn't have to worry about exhausting the Profound Pearl of Life's life energy as it was capable of replenishing life energy on its own.

Nevertheless, Vaan forcefully suppressed his interest and urge to explore the Profound Pearl of Life's supplementary functions.

He set it aside to focus on the humanoid body.

Vaan reopened his thumb wound and sent another drop of blood into the Profound Pearl of Life, directing it toward the energy barrier.

Upon contact, the energy barrier lit up like fireworks. Layers of runic lines were disconnected and released like a ball of strings unwinding as the energy barrier expanded.

Vaan's drop of blood proceeded beyond and sunk into the humanoid body's head, forming a connection with it.

A much larger portion of his soul force was permanently consumed in the process of establishing and maintaining the connection.

Meanwhile, the unwinding expansion of the energy barrier transformed into a powerful vacuum, sucking in the sea of blood and slaughter energy. Everything was channeled into the

humanoid body.

Minutes later, the original blank humanoid body shared Vaan's spitting image.

Vaan quickly took it out for a more in-depth inspection and couldn't help but feel amazed by

its form.

How was this still an indestructible puppet?

It had become a perfect clone with its indestructibility hidden behind a layer of flesh and blood. It was as if a block of metal had turned into organic material.

If not for the connection they shared, Vaan might have even forgotten which of them was the

main body.

However, that also showed how intricately connected their spiritual connection was. Moving the clone's body was no different from moving his own body.

"Congratulations on obtaining the Profound Pearl of Life and Primordial Avatar, Lord," the Divine Lord Death Eater acknowledged.
