Chapter 1283  Benefits

Opening his eyes, Evan took a deep breath, feeling as though his soul had been drained by someone.

"Just engraving forty-two patterns drained all of my soul power..." He sighed, retrieving three small bottles of violet-coloured potion from his shadow storage.

The potions were crafted using the Violet Soul Nourishing Flower that Anastasia had found in the hidden dimension at the bottom of the Boundless Ocean.

Over the past two days, she had given some of these flowers to Octavius, who had used them to create potions capable of not only replenishing spiritual energy but also nourishing the soul.

In total, Octavius managed to produce five potions, all of which were given to Evan. The limited number wasn't due to a lack of Violet Soul Nourishing Flowers or the difficulty of the potion-making process. Instead, it was because the auxiliary herbs required for this potion were extremely rare.

Even with Leopold's help (The Rank Five Vampire enslaved by Anastasia) who controlled an auction house and had extensive business connections across Utopia, they were only able to gather enough auxiliary herbs to produce five potions.

Evan had already consumed two bottles of the potion in the last two days to prepare for the engraving process. This preparation was the reason he had successfully managed to engrave forty-two patterns of the Rune of Absorption onto his core despite the immense spiritual energy consumption.

His current spiritual power had grown significantly compared to when he first returned to Utopia.

Opening one of the bottles, Evan inhaled its scent, feeling a cool, soothing sensation wash over his soul as though his parched essence had plunged into a tranquil river.

Without hesitation, he downed the entire potion in one gulp.

A surge of rich spiritual energy coursed through his body, nourishing his soul and rapidly replenishing his depleted spiritual energy reserves.

Using his spiritual senses, Evan observed the potion's effects and realized that he would recover all his energy within an hour.

Moreover, even after his spiritual energy fully recovers, the potion's effects would continue nourishing his soul for the rest of the day.

This sustained effect was why he had only used two bottles in the last two days as each potion required a full day to be completely absorbed.

However, things were different now.

After drinking the potion, Evan turned his attention to the incomplete Rune of Absorption engraved on his core. With a thought, he activated just one percent of its current power.

Even at this minimal level, the Rune unleashed a terrifying absorption force, voraciously devouring all the World Essence within a 100-meter radius.

The potion's energy was also drawn into the Rune, which then fed the energy back to his core. The core, in turn, directed the energy toward his soul, replenishing nearly half of his spiritual energy in under a minute.

This was an astonishing improvement. Before using the power of the Rune, he needed a full hour to recover his energy, but now the process had become incomparably faster.

Furthermore, the energy from the potion, which typically required an entire day to be fully digested was being consumed at an accelerated rate. According to Evan's calculations, it would take less than an hour to fully absorb the potion's energy.

And this was with only one percent of the incomplete Rune's power activated.

Evan knew he could increase the Rune's power to further enhance the absorption speed, but he dared not take the risk.

His core was already behaving like a black hole, drawing in massive amounts of World Essence from the surrounding area. He could feel the strain this placed on his core, and increasing the absorption rate further might push it beyond its limits.

Observing his core, Evan estimated that at his current absorption speed, he could reach the peak of Rank Three in less than three days.

Previously, achieving this milestone would have required two to three months of relentless effort. With the Rune of Absorption continuously pulling in massive amounts of World Essence, he was now capable of accelerating his progress dramatically and he don't even need to do anything.

Even though he had anticipated this outcome, Evan was still shocked by the sheer power of the Primordial Rune of Absorption.

'If I activate the full power of this incomplete rune, it won't just absorb World Essence. It will absorb me like a black hole, killing me instantly,' Evan thought grimly.

The Primordial Runes, as their name implied were creations of such immense power that even the Primordials found them useful. The Primordials were the pinnacle of power in the world, and anything valuable to them could unleash unimaginable might.

Evan was currently only a mid-level Rank Three Core Evolver. The fact that he had managed to engrave forty-two patterns of the Rune of Absorption was a testament to how extraordinary his spiritual power was.

However, he was far from being able to wield the full power of even these forty-two patterns.

After just one minute, Evan's spiritual energy was completely restored.

As he assessed himself, he noticed yet another miraculous effect of the Primordial Rune of Absorption.

When he had used the potion made from the Violet Soul Nourishing Flower for the first time, its effects were extraordinary. However, the second time he used it, he noticed the effectiveness had diminished by about ten percent.

Anastasia had explained that this reduction in effectiveness was natural. The more one used rare potions like those made from the Violet Soul Nourishing Flower, the more resistance their body developed to them, akin to drug tolerance. Over time, the potions' effects would continue to diminish.

But now, Evan observed something remarkable.

While the current potion wasn't as effective as the first one he had taken, it was noticeably more potent than the second. This suggested that using the Primordial Rune of Absorption to process the potions could mitigate the resistance buildup.

'If I can fully harness the Rune's power, perhaps I can completely negate potion resistance,' Evan thought, excitement flashing in his eyes. 'If that happens, I will be able to use these potions indefinitely to increase my soul power.'
