While Lex was unconscious the system automatically absorbed small amounts of energy into his body and with the dense and abundant energy around the mysterious trinket, he was able to awaken within a few hours.
His entire body was in immense pain both internally and externally as his body was pushed past its limits, however with the mysterious trinket that he had acquired, he could recover much faster.
It seemed to have healing properties along with its energy magnetism, as it formed an area that was filled with life and energy in the bubble around it.
Lex trusted his fox beasts to be fine and with the tens of thousands of beast bodies and beast cores around them, he knew they would be busy cultivating and increasing their strength.
While they did that, he decided that there was no better time than the present to breakthrough, and in the process, he was hoping to recover his injuries and heal from the backlash all at once.
[System show me my status] ordered Lex, wanting to see how dire the state he was in was.
{Ding, the host's current status is:
Name-Lex Black
External Cultivation LVL- Heaven Mortal LVL 99
Internal Cultivation LVL- Heaven Mortal LVL 99
Elemental Body Rank- Heaven Mortal Rank
Third Eye Rank- Heaven Mortal Rank
State- The host's life is not at risk currently, however, the host has severely strained eyes and it will be extremely painful for the host to use his Eye Powers until they recover. The host also has damaged meridians and energy pathways that are used for both Internal and External cultivation after the host used more energy than your body could handle.
Beast Powers: Armidilo Armour, Arctic Claws} stated the system.
It was exactly as he had expected, but thankfully there wasn't any permanent or irreversible damage, and everything that he had suffered could be recovered over time.
Overall Lex was satisfied with what he had gained from his conquest in the Underground Coves and felt that the risk was worth what he had gained.
{Ding, Mission Completed - Reward: Portable Sub-Dimension} announced the system.
Lex was overjoyed by the reward and was excited to use it and find out how it works, but he didn't want to risk pushing his body even more and increasing the damage and pain that he was already experiencing.
{Ding, would the host like to integrate the Portable Sub-Dimension} asked the system.
[No, I will do so after I breakthrough] answered Lex.
{Ding, the system would recommend the host to integrate the Portable Sub-Dimension before the host breakthrough as when the host breaks through, the rank and size of the Portable Sub-Dimension will increase} recommended the system.
{Ding, the Portable Sub-Dimension is something that can only be gained and used by cultivators of the Spacial cultivators and allows them to be able to form a space of their own that was linked to their body and could only be entered by them or others that they have allowed. The space of the Portable Sub-Dimension is only as big as the amount of energy that is provided to it through cultivating it or providing it beast cores and other resources that are abundant in energy. By providing it more energy, it will become larger and more suitable for producing and sustaining life upon it} explained the system.
With that explanation, Lex didn't have much more that he wanted to ask and he decided to do as the system recommended, completely trusting the system, that was yet to be wrong or make any mistakes.
[System integrate my body with the Portable Sub-Dimension] ordered Lex.
{Ding, the host's body is being integrated with a Portable Sub-Dimension and this space now belongs to the host and has been linked to the host's body, however, the host cannot integrate with another Sub-Dimension after this occurs} announced the system.
As the system's announcement resounded throughout Lex's mind, he felt something become linked with the Spacial Eye that was within his Eye Power Library and also became linked with his entire body.
"Incredible" uttered Lex in awe of what he was experiencing as he felt that he had his own space that he could enter just like he could place things into the inventory, but before using it he decided to recover and breakthrough.
Withdrawing the beast core in the head of the giant ant queen's head, it took Lex tens of strikes to be able to break past the armour in his weakened and drained state and withdrawing the beast core, he was amazed.
It wasn't the largest beast core he had come across in his life, but it was definitely the brightest and the light had a blue-tint.
The energy within it was the most energy that Lex had seen before in a beast core as he felt that the giant ant beast was on the cusp of reaching the Golden mortal Rank, but didn't have enough time to break through before he attacked with his fox beasts.
[Luckily she was yet to break through into the Golden Mortal Rank, otherwise, everything might have turned out much differently] thought Lex to himself gratefully as he began absorbing the energy of the beast core along with the dense and abundant energy around him.
Energy from beast cores was wild and unrestrained and required Lex to suppress the energy before being able to absorb and store it within their body, while the energy around him within the bubble around the mysterious trinket was dense and easy to absorb, as Lex began hungrily absorbing energy.
With the large amounts of energy he was absorbing, he began recovering his body and attempting to breakthrough into the Golden Mortal Rank.
