The Annihilator: Killer Of Gods

< Ding! You gave fused with a Cultivation Method. Name Designated; Soul Ring >

The first message Karsha saw was the fusion message. He hadn't reviewed any of the messages after he became a Grandmaster swordsman up to the fusion of the unknown item. He knew the moment the system upgraded, all these messages would be arranged for him.

< The Soul Ring is a new form of Cultivation method that allows you to form Mutant Cores >

< Ding! You have formed on Mutant Core. Congratulations, you are now a Lesser Alpha. +3000 points added to all stats, 1,000,000 MP added >

Karsha didn't have any time, he immediately accessed the first message. He knew all this was about this mysterious Soul Ring so he quickly moved his attention there.

< Soul Ring >

-- A cultivation method of unknown Origin. Nothing is known about where it came from neither is there a name for it. So the name Soul Ring has been assigned to. Its function, however, is beyond mere imagination. The Soul Ring makes it so ordinary humans can evolve beyond their current capacity. The Cultivation method allows the host to form Mutant Cores and evolve into a higher existence.

-- All cores form with contain energy beyond imagination and can be harnessed at will. The cores also allow the wielder to absorb any form of any and convert it to its suitable form without any backlash.

Functions

[ Core formation ]: Using Blood, Treasures, Souls, Energies, and Cores of the enemies killed, you can form a core that will increase your class pushing you toward the next step of evolution.

[ Enhancer ]: Energies stored in the cores created can be harnessed in battle without any limit or backlash.

[ Body and Soul Tempering ]: For every core formed, the body and soul will be tempered with the energy store which will further enhance the host body and soul strength.

< Note: These are the only known functions extracted by the system. There is no telling if there are more functions hidden at the moment >Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"Even the system is struggling to come up with the origin and complete function of this thing, Just what is this thing" Karsha knew he had received something nobody else had ever had in all of existence, the question bugging him though was, who created it and why did he received it.

Nfang had already told him his destiny would start right after killing the last overlord, but he said nothing about him getting something this powerful.

"Is this what he was talking about" Karsha wondered but he knew there wouldn't be an answer for that yet. After all, he came to the island mainly to kill 10 snakes but he will be returning with much more.

But while he might not know the reason behind him getting the cultivation method, one thing is certain, from the moment the soul ring fused with his soul, his destiny to become the strongest there is has begun.

Cultivation methods are methods people use to cultivate. There are body cultivators who prioritize cultivating their bodies more than everything. Most body cultivators are body temperers. Using valuable treasure, they cultivate their bodies to the point attacks will bounce off their skin and a single punch from them can turn others into meatpaste.

Some cultivate the soul and spirit. They specialise in soul attacks which is the strongest form of attack there is. They have methods to cultivate their soul strength to rise to shocking levels. Others to focus on Mana cultivates, are the Mage and Magnus's. Others too focus on their swords and weapons, they are the tool cultivators.

However, what karsha has now is everything. The Ring will allow him to cultivate his body and soul making him a body cultivate at the same time a soul cultivator. On the body cultivation front, Karsha has already made huge progress. He has an iron body fused with symbiotic skin armor.

With the Soul Ring method, he will even become powerful in the future, all he has to do is kill some more people and monsters to absorb their blood and souls.

His nature as a swordsman too will take a huge lip with his now enhanced strength. By using the soul ring, Karsha can unleash powerful attacks without having greater backlashes, This means he can use Agni Sword without suffering like he did against InfernoScale.

The Ring also allows him to absorb any form of energy and convert it to a suitable form that can be used by Karsha. Karsha is now a Grandmaster Cultivator so automatically, he can only use Mana, and absorb Mana, but with the soul ring, he can now absorb any form of energy and covert it into Mana.

It's a known fact in cultivation that the body cannot absorb energies not suited for the Core and Meridians. This means, that if your core is a Mana Core, absorbing spiritual Energy is less unlikely mainly because the Meridians are not suited for absorbing Spiritual Qi.

But with the Soul Ring, Karsha can now absorb all these energies and convert them into Mana. It's something many will kill for and Karsha just got it for free, well, he died for it so it's fair.

"Core Formation Pill, Core Condensing Pill, Core Nourishing Pill, Core Saturation Pill. Just where did these recipes come from" Karsha woke with the recipe for four distinct Pills. As an alchemist, he knew just how valuable those pills were but they didn't come from the Divine Alchemist legacy.

< These Pills are needed to form and saturate any new core form. The Core formation pill will allow you to form an Embryonic core while the Core Condensing Pill allow you to condense the embryonic form of the Core.

The Core Nourishing Pill will nourish the core making it more adaptable to new energies which will help the core grow and the Saturation Pill will complete the cycle by saturating it allowing the host to form the next core >

"Well, I know a thing or two about some of the pills, no need to be the smartass. But tell me, can these pills be purchased from the system or the ingredients?" Karsha has the recipe but finding the ingredients is the problem. He has yet to find all the ingredients for the Constitution Awakening pill.

Although he knew he might get lucky and find some in Xian's garden, he knew not all could be found there.

Some of the ingredients are just too Rare for someone like Xian's grandpa to have in his garden. He also found a small garden back on the Red Planet so he knew he might get some there. He even managed to identify two ingredients already but there are hundreds of herbs in that garden so he will have to go back and check.

Inside his treasure on the Red Planet are also some herbs and rare metals, but he doesn't have the qualifications to open them yet. So these four Pills mean he has to hunt for ingredients. His money is bound to be spent on making himself stronger.

If only he knew he had already acquired something or someone that would further eat into his account.

< This system doesn't have the pills because you require Tier 8 Earth-Grade pills. Some ingredients can be bought from the system but not all. >

"Good enough, I wasn't hoping to get everything anyway. Looks like my days will be about hunting for herbs. Well, this will allow me to hunt for monsters and get more Monster cores and blood." Karsha sighed. To become the strongest, you will need money, a lot of it and Karsha is nowhere calling himself the richest. He needed money to become the strongest.

Thankfully, he has 10 Tier 7 Terror Mutant bodies in his possession.

"Quick question, can I get the price for the cheapest ingredient in your possession" He will need all four pills each time he wants to form a core so it's better to know the price list and prepare for it.

< The cheapest being the Moonstone Dust is 1,200,000 killer points >

"Oh damn. Why is everything so expensive" Karsha quickly closed the system and decided to check just what the Soul Ring was capable of since it required this much spending and hard work.

"System, give me an Earth-grade sword. Make sure it doesn't have any elemental preference" A dark-bladed Longsword appeared in Karsha's hands. He then summon his Soul Ring. "Wow, this is incredible" Karsha immediately felt a wave of energy pour into his Core without him even channeling.

< The host is advised not to channel too much energy from the core since it has yet to Satuarate. Depleting the energy will take some time to replenish, more precisely, it will take 24 hours to replenish >

"Wasn't planning on using many systems. Do me a favor and scan that huge mountain and tell me if there are life signs there" Now that the Monster snakes are now what Dhaka will call Beasts, Karsha doesn't want to kill them accidentally.

< No life signs Host >

Karsha smiled and then began channeling energy into his sword. Within seconds, the amount of energy that poured into his sword is even higher than the 40% he used during his battle with Khinux.

Slash

Karsha slashed his sword vertically and in an instant, a 130-meter-tall fire arc shot out from his sword striking the 800-meter-tall mountain 1km away. The whole ground shook and like a dynamite, the mountain exploded sending a huge wave of avalanches toward Karsha.

"Oh shit" Spreading his wings, Karsha took to the skies stopping 10km away on top of another mountain. "Damn, that was dangerous but powerful" Karsha smile happily looking at the place he was just a few seconds ago now buried and an 800-meter tall mountain completely wiped from existence.

"I have to saturate that core ASAP so I can cause some chaos once I go back. Vance, Hugh, and that little bitch, wait for me, Big Daddy is almost home" Karsha smile evilly before sitting back and tuning in to the next message.

It's been 10 minutes since the shadow guards went to the cave belonging to Khinux, and since they were back, Karsha instead of having a bad feeling was actually happy, he knew for five of them to spend that much time over there, it can only mean they struck gold.

< Ding! Congratulations, you have unlocked your Sea of Consciousness. You can now access your soul Sea with just a thought >
