?As the devouring vines pierced the walls of the essence stone mine, the essence stones stuck inside the walls started to turn into dust, and all of their world essence was absorbed by the vines.

Evan's Primordial Monarch Core was already absorbing the world essence from the surroundings like a black hole. With the addition of the world essence provided by the devouring vines, Evan felt as if his core was facing a tsunami of World Essence. At first, he found it hard to handle the amount of World Essence his core was absorbing, but after a few hours, he became familiar with the absorbing process.

As time passed, Evan realized that the devouring vines were not only absorbing the world essence from the essence stones, but even the walls of the mine were filled with rich world essence, and he was absorbing the world essence of the walls as well. f reewe bnovel

In just a single day, he devoured nearly two million low-level essence stones from the mine. As a result, his core progressed by 8%.

He was at the 68% mark when he entered the mine, and now he was at the 76% mark after twenty-four hours. The speed at which his core was progressing was simply ridiculous.

"I will reach mid-level in another three days at this rate....but," Evan muttered and looked around him with a twitching mouth.

The walls of the mine that were glowing with essence stones earlier were now looking like normal cave walls, and there was not a single essence stone in an area of five hundred meters around Evan.

'I thought I would just absorb a few thousand essence stones, but I underestimated the appetite of my core...' Evan said inwardly and rubbed his chin.

He wasn't worried that he had ruined the mine because he could feel the world essence was still flowing through the walls of the mine, and new essence stones were slowly forming.

In just a few months, all the essence stones that he had devoured from the mine would be reformed. Besides...

"I have enough essence stones now, so I will give back Cedar all the essence stones that I am using," Evan said and took out a storage ring from his shadow storage.

In the storage ring, there were five hundred high-level essence stones, in other words, five million low-level essence stones. He poured the five hundred essence stones in front of him, making the entire cave shine with a blue colour.

After pouring the essence stones in front of him, he picked them up and threw them towards the walls of the mine, affixing them into the mine walls.

The moment the essence stones came into contact with the mine walls, the world essence flowing through the walls started to move towards them. Once all the five hundred essence stones were stuck in the mine walls, Evan once again used the energy-devouring skill.

The effect of high-level essence stones was even better than the low-level essence stones, because of this, Evan's progressing speed increased once again.

"If I had known that I could use Energy Devouring on essence stones, I would have used it long ago while I was cultivating in the Essence Formation Room," Evan muttered as his core devoured the essence stones from the surroundings.

After killing the S Rankers who came with Kael, Evan had used Energy Devouring on one of them. But when he tried to absorb the body using Energy Devouring, his Primordial Monarch Core rejected the energy of the body and didn't absorb it.

At that time, Evan thought he might not be able to increase the Rank of his core using the Energy Devouring skill anymore. However, when Evan saw the essence stone mine, for some reason, he suddenly felt like using the energy-devouring skill on the essence stones, and to his surprise, it worked.

"I wonder why I can't increase the rank of my core by absorbing the bodies through the Energy Devouring skill," Evan muttered, thinking about the meat of the Rank Two monster that he and Cedar had eaten before their fight against Kael.

"The rank of my core had increased a little after I ate that meat, so logically speaking, the rank of my core should have increased after I absorbed the body using Energy Devouring, but my core rejected that energy..." Evan said while absorbing the world essence and shook his head.

Although he was really curious why his core rejected that energy, he didn't think too much about it for the time being and focused on his core.

Originally, Evan needed three more days to reach the mid-level, but because of devouring the high-level essence stones that contained even purer world essence, he reached the limit of beginner level just after two days.

As his core reached the limit of beginner level, it started to shake. Powerful energy fluctuations emanated from Evan's body and spread in all directions.

Rumble!

The energy fluctuations coming out of his body were so powerful that the walls of the mine started to rumble, and small cracks appeared on them.

Bang!

Suddenly, Evan's core stopped shaking, and a wave of powerful energy erupted from it. Evan felt a piercing pain all over his body, and a deep frown appeared on his face. The energy that came out from his core strengthened his body, and the amount of world essence inside his body started to increase.

The energy fluctuations coming out of his body increased even more, and large cracks spread throughout the walls.

Evan noticed the abnormality caused by his breakthrough and immediately used his skill, Shadow World.

A black dome emerged from his body and covered a small area around him. The Shadow World completely blocked the energy fluctuations coming out from his body, and the walls of the mine stopped shaking.

Because of the passive authority Blessed By Light that Evan had acquired from Elysia using the second effect of the growth link skill, the consumption of all of his skills decreased by half, so he did not feel any pressure like before while using the Shadow World skill.

Evan's breakthrough lasted for around ten minutes. After ten minutes, the black dome inside the mine disappeared and Evan's figure was revealed. His face was a little pale, and his body was drenched in cold sweat because of using the Shadow World Skill for ten minutes.

Although his face was pale and even the aura around him was unstable, Evan smiled widely and clenched his fist.

"Finally, mid-level Rank One..." he muttered and stood up from the ground.
