Supreme Couple In Apocalypse: Undead King & Demonic Queen

'Done!'

During the 3rd Star Furnace body refinement, Erix finished the circulations within five minutes and reached a total of 1000 Vitalum Circulations.

A strange pulse of power spread throughout his body the moment he finished and his spine, where the central energy structure of Vitalum Circulation was located, burst out with a mysterious energy that soon spread throughout his body.

Erix felt his physical parameters increasing and found a source of power forming in his body.

'So it's happening.'

—> 1. Vitalum Circulation: Follow the circulation method of the Vitalum to increase your Physical recovery aspects by 100% and awaken the Vitalum innate Talent upon 1000 circulations.

'Vitalum Innate Talent.'

Erix could feel this innate talent was in the process of awakening in his body.

Twenty minutes later, Erix suddenly heard a voice about his reward completion since finally reached the foundational peak of bodily parameters in the Empyrean-order.

[The Star Furnace cannot refine your body further as it has reached the peak of Empyrean-order. Do you want to exit or stay until the time is up?]

'Stay, of course! My innate talent is not done awakening yet,' Erix didn't even need to think about it.

1 hour here was 1 minute outside, so he was of course going to take advantage of it.

'Let's hope it finishes soon,' Erix wryly thought.

On the other hand, Rin was in the same boat as Erix and decided to stay.

As for Lily, she reached 1000 circulations and also peaked in her foundational body stats near the same time, exactly 25 minutes after she entered Star Furnace—around the same time as Rin and Erix.

Aria Isabella, Sameira, and Kenshin were in the same situation as Lily as they finished 1000 circulations in their 3rd reward and also reached a peak.

Lilith had reached a peak in body stats in her 2nd Star Furnace reward since she was halfway through Empyrean-order in body stats when she arrived from Kalaanx Abyss, so for her 3rd reward, she had chosen to get insight into her Action-concept—Engulf.

Her Vitalum Circulation was already finished in her 2nd Star Furnace because her circulation speed was higher than others due to multiple factors, so while waiting for her innate talent to awaken, Lilith was comprehending and progressing in her Engulf Concept.

The good thing was that rewards were based on individuals.

Although Lilith chose to write a wish reward for the progress of her concept, Aria and Isabella chose Star Furnace and were now just waiting for their innate talent to awaken.

Time passed in everyone's reward dimension and when roughly 10 minutes were left, everyone's innate talent started awakening one by one.

Lilith was the first since she had finished her circulation fastest in just one session of Star Furface, but she was absorbed and deep focus on enlightenment to progress in her Concept, so she didn't notice.

After her, Erix, Rin, and Lily awakened their innate talent.

They were bored in the Star Furnace with nothing to do, so they were just observing the innate talent process when it awakened and felt a newfound power core.

'Interesting.'

Erix's eyes glinted as he inspected this power source eagerly while already feeling its effects.

[Vitalum Stainlux]

|_Type: Innate Talent.

|_Passive Effect: Healing Factor and Stamina recovery is increased by 100%.

|_Active Effect: Increase your reaction time and physical parameters by 50% for 1 minute when infusing 1000 Chakra in the Vitalum Stainlux core.—> 10 minutes of cooldown period before you can activate Vitalum Stainlux again.

'Wtf?!' Erix was dumbfounded and thrilled. 'So powerful?!'

'A 50% increase in physical parameters and reaction time for 1 minute is big. But I have to use this as a trump card due to 10 minutes of cooldown.'

In fact, Rin, Lily, and everyone else were also pleasantly shocked when they saw the Vitalum Stainlux's effects.

Everyone awakened the same talent, so this was a collective big boost for the group.

Ten minutes soon passed and they emerged from their reward dimensions one by one.

"Hahaha, the next challenge is going to be easy with this new boost," Rin grinned. "We'll do as Nira said and turn three groups into two for maximum benefits. Let's go."

Lily and Erix nodded and didn't waste time as they hopped onto Rin's thundercloud—Heavenly Nimbus Shen, and flew away.

After arriving at the swirling energy spot in a mountain's cave at the mountain's base, Erix felt Aria and Isabella's presence. Meanwhile, Lilith joined Nira, Sameira, and Kenshin's group at the remaining challenge spot.

The five of them stood before the swirling spot, ready to accept the challenge.

[More than 3 people in a group for the challenge will have increased difficulty. Do you want to proceed or change the number of people in the group?]

"Increased difficulty is what we want," Erix cracked a grin, "Let's go."

Lily, Rin, Aria, and Isabella smiled and didn't hesitate as they also agreed. The five of them disappeared and arrived inside a huge cavern with glowing crystal veins and a flowing river that led deeper.

[Please write your Wish Reward]

"Hmm, we are done reaching maximum stats in physical, so how about we do the same with Magic?" Erix rubbed his chin. "Concepts are important, but I think we can do Magic first for direct power boost and fuel."

"I was thinking of doing the same thing," Isabella nodded with a smile.

"Then let's do it," Rin grinned.

Lily smilingly nodded. "I don't mind if we go this route. We'll have to do this now or later."

"Umm…" Aria rubbed her index fingers and said with a cute thoughtful expression, "If this Wish Reward can give us anything we want, then can we ask for something specific like…"

"Like a fantastic dimension full of things related to our concept for 100 hours to 1 minute time dilation?"

Everyone was taken aback and then turned thoughtful.

"100 hours in such a dimension with only 1 minute passing in real is juicy," Erix rubbed his chin.

"Let me write it and see what happens," Aria giggled and wrote her reward wish. However, her reward wish box turned red.

[This Wish Reward is not possible for a single individual. According to the balancing act, you can have this reward as a shared reward for the whole group.]

Everyone was surprised at this.

"Interesting, so getting 100 hours to 1 minute ratio is possible, but not for individual Concept-insight reward," Erix's eyes glinted as he smiled. "I got an idea."

"Let's ask for this reward, but modify it slightly. Instead of asking for a dimension related to our concept, we can ask for a dimension related to resources to increase our Magic source. Even if we all enter together in this dimension, we can still progress and have 100 hours to ourselves."

Isabella's eyes shone, "This is a good idea."

"Indeed," Lily nodded with a chuckle.

"Hahaha, let's do it," Rin said with a laugh as she changed her wish reward.

Isabella, Aria, Lily, and Erix also changed their wish reward.

[According to the Balance Act, if you win the challenges, the five of you will enter the same reward dimension as per your wish reward.]
