Chapter 1117 Limit
One hundred miles deep within Hyperion planet, behind all the mist clouds and near its core, Ery was still sitting in front of the huge dark crystal. Grand Magus Lilith was seen standing behind him.
From the expression and twitching he was currently showing, it was apparent to see that he was in constant, torturous pain from being forced to stare into the soul of a celestial being. One could only imagine how much pain he was experiencing.
With the energy channeled by the garbed grand magus, Ery felt like he was able to slowly but surely scrape through and unravel the entity he had been probing into. But in exchange, the entire process delivered excruciating pain that hurt both his mind and spirit core.
Three days passed where he constantly kept this process and suffered through, and finally he reached his limit. His entire body began to forcefully shut itself off as a form of protective asure.
In this midst where he felt he could lose consciousness at any mont, Ery heard the voice of the female grand magus.
"Is That's all!?...That's disappointing."
Instead of letting him go however, the grand magus seed to push him even further instead. It was as if she was trying to squeeze out every inch of worth that Ery had remaining.
At this kind of situation and within his mont of weakness, Ery had no more will nor energy to care about anything. This led to a release of what had been suppressed – the urge which had been knocking for these few days – finally unleashed itself.
Feeling the eruption of the urge, the voice of the grand magus sounded again.
"Hah! You still have sothing in you! This is good!!"
The grand magus didn't look worried at all by the rampaging urge from within Ery. She simply strengthened the restraint she imposed on him.
Although Ery's body gradually changed into the wolf beast, he was still unable to move a muscle. All the erging power and rage were contained by the grand magus, forcing it to once again be directed at the celestial soul.
HOWL!
It was at this mont that the nearly unconscious Ery felt what he had been doing the last few days under the agonizing pain co to fruition. All the scrapping he had done with the help of the grand magus energy had finally managed to pierce a hole into the seemingly impenetrable wall.
This discovery was quickly followed by a bright light coming from inside the dark crystal and a huge crack that gradually appeared on the crystal wall. At that mont, the sound of laughter echoed in the cave they were in.
"Hahaha! Thank you, junior. You are truly much helpful. Thank you."
At the sa ti, the phenonon also managed to stop Ery's transformation, forcing his already partially transford body to return to its human form.
The mont he did so, Ery imdiately fell with his knees hitting the ground. With his blurry vision, he could see the female grand magus approaching the huge crack in the dark crystal and break it open with her bare hands.
The last thing Ery saw was the magus reaching for the corpse inside and appearing to harvest sothing. After that, everything turned dark as he finally fell unconscious from extre exhaustion.
There was just silence and darkness for a while, until he felt a particular sensation of warmth entering his mouth and flowing within his body.
It didn't take long for him to start feeling the senses of his body again, and from what he could sense at the mont, his body seed to be lying still sowhere.
"What is this... what is happening?"
It was a great and pronounced feeling as if every fiber of his entire being slowly ca to life.
When the warmth finally flowed to his chest and arrived into his heart, Ery suddenly saw sothing that he hadn't seen for a while.
It was a glimpse of a figure – a massive wolf with half of its body seemingly shrouded by shadow while the other half was covered by light. Its appearance also ca with a ssage that echoed in his mind.
'Devour and Life'
He saw the wolf raise its head and howl at the bloody red moon hanging in the sky. It was a majestic and breathtaking sight, until Ery realized that there was a movent from behind the moon.
Before he could focus his attention, the dark sky suddenly opened up like a curtain and showed a bright golden eye that looked straight into him, scaring him before it suddenly dissolved into the moon, and unexpectedly brought strength to the massive wolf howling at it.
What followed after was a series of notifications that took Ery by surprise.

[Analyzing genes]
[33% twilight fey wolf essence found]
[Your bloodline just went through a purifying process]
[Genes purified]

It was not only his battle power that was enhanced by this unexpected boon. There was also a trendous amount of build-up energy within his two cores. Exactly the impetus he needed for the breakthrough he had been waiting for.
[You have reached a breakthrough to the high stage of rank 9]
A tremor was felt on the Darkness Core Foundation as a tendril-like energy erged from its surface like a flare. Looking at it, Ery could sense that the small thing contained all of his accumulated comprehension of space magic that had been continuously tempered through the pressure of gravity.
[The thirteenth pillar was ford - Darkness Elent]
Imdiately after the establishnt of his thirteenth pillar, Ery swiftly balanced the equilibrium his dark core had with his nature core.
At this mont, he gained another round of comprehension regarding the connection between gravity and the earth elent, and with it, a tiny but emanating powerful air Earth Elent spirit energy appeared and ford the subsequent pillar.
[The fourteen pillar was ford - Earth Elent]

[Water spirit - 1 pillar]

[Devour spirit - 1 pillar]
With the completion of his thirteenth and fourteenth pillar, Ery awoke from his unconscious state with a loud roar. A tremor ran through his entire body as he felt it brimming with a seemingly unstoppable power.
As soon as he opened his eyes, Ery found himself in the familiar sight of gray sands. Dozens of Shrikes corpses were strewn everywhere, with the female grand magus staring at him with an amuse smile on her face.
"You finally woke up, young wolf."
