Rise of The Anti God (Web Novel)

The night soon passed, and the two literally slept on the ocean after making a small fancy bed out of ice using the water. They had been exchanging their love nonstop for almost the entire night, even in the water, and Damien stopped when Reva got completely exhausted since it was her first time experiencing such a hardcore battle.

Whereas Damien was astonished, he wasn't feeling tired at all. In fact, he felt like he could go on like this every hour for days before feeling a bit tired.

This made him even more glad of his new evolved body, especially since his stamina was now shooting through the roof.

At the same time, doing it multiple times with Reva, he felt that his control over the ice elemental seed had gotten stronger and also gained new ethereal arts through her.

While still lying down, he decided to have a look in his mind,

[ Arts of the Ancient Azure King ]

1st Stage : Frosty Barrier of Doom

2nd Stage : Rain of Death

3rd Stage : Mirror of My Soul and Body

4th Stage : ??

5th Stage : ??

6th Stage : ??

'Wow…Did I comprehend these three stages while doing it with her? Is this how geniuses are supposed to be?' Damien chuckled to himself inwardly since he found it a bit funny that he comprehended these without even doing any rigorous meditation but simply indulging himself in carnal pleasures.

But then he thought that maybe this was possible because he taught Reva the dual cultivation art, Eternal Bond of Sacred Hearts. Because of that, he could now feel Reva's presence through his soul itself, and she could also feel him, especially when they were near to each other.

However, Damien noticed another astonishing thing, especially about his ethereal lightning arts that Luna had given him,

[ Elysian Lightning of Retribution ]

4th Stage - Divine Shackles of Lightning

'The 4th Stage got unlocked? Damn…am I having a lucky day as compensation for going through all that trouble?' Damien couldn't help but feel an intense sense of elation and excitement in seeing that he had gained a lot of progress within just one point. He could also feel that his soul cultivation had gained some progress compared to before. And for the most part, he knew he had to thank the sleeping beauty in his arms.

And now, he was eager to try out his newfound skills and master them before he would have to leave this place. He knew that no matter how nice and peaceful this place was, he and Reva would definitely have to go back and take care of the Xeton Empire, no matter how tempted they were to stay here forever.

Having a home in a place like this and living with his family peacefully was Damien's dream. So he already made a mental note to himself to one day build his home here, and when peace exists in the outside world, he will come back here with his women.

Damien slowly laid Reva down on the icy bed, and despite how cold it was, he knew that Reva found it most comfortable and didn't want to wake her since she still had yet to absorb the extra soul essence in her soul plane.

He gave a warm kiss on her soft lips and left a mental message to her, which she would see upon waking up.

He flew up and looked down at the island as he searched for a spot he had marked before while exploring the island.

'There it is,' He quickly spotted it and descended down before a large patch of empty land under the huge cliff and surrounded by tall trees.

The ground was sandy and rocky, but Damien didn't mind that as he only needed a large space to test his ethereal arts without causing too much damage.

"Luna, Kalypso, are you guys up yet?" Damien asked just to see if they had recovered, but as expected, all he got was silence.

But then he realized that barely a day had passed, and considering how much they sacrificed, especially Luna, during the battle with Yohr, he supposed that they would definitely need more than a day to recover.

As for Valentina, he saw that she was covered in a cocoon of blood strangely enough, but he could sense that her vitals were stable, and her mind seemed to be under deep meditation.

This made Damien facepalm wondering if she woke up yesterday night and saw him pounding Reva all night, and she purposefully remained silent. He could only hope she doesn't get pissed off later for letting her wake up to such a sight.

Still, seeing the bloody cocoon, Damien thought, 'Could she be absorbing Yohr's ethereal core?' Damien remembered Luna saving the ethereal core for Valentina even though the ethereal core would only have Yohr's residual ethereal energy, which was more than enough since it belonged to a god.

"Okay. Time to try the first one. Frosty Barrier of Doom, hmm, let's see if this skill is really as intimidating as it sounds," Damien decided to start off with his newly learned icy, ethereal arts and closed his eyes as he began to focus on executing the first stage.

He knew this skill was to be used as a barrier to protect oneself, but since he wanted to test the specialty of this barrier, his hands moved in a way to manifest it outside of him.

There was a huge stone block in front of him, and icy ethereal energy began to flow out from his hands as they circled around the stone block and transformed into a huge dome-shaped solid ice.

Damien couldn't even see the stone block anymore since the solid ice wasn't even translucent.

'Hmm, this could be great for hiding, at least. Now to test its strength,' Damien thought as he began to charge one of his powerful attacks, 'Searing Strike Rendering Worlds'. Of course, he also activated the second phase of his Undying Wrath as he charged up his jet-black lightning bolt before hurling it towards the icy dome-shaped barrier.

*BOOM!*

However, the moment it struck the barrier, Damien's eyes widened as he inwardly shouted, 'Oh shit!'
