Vampire's Slice Of Life

The blood bats and the ovarian parasites charged towards Lith with all their might and killing intent.

They were the creatures of the tribulations and naturally were in a crazed state and weren't normal. Their killing intent was at its peak and they wouldn't be at ease unless they killed Lith.

Lith had lost a lot of his spiritual power and only around thirty percent of the original amount was remaining.

The summoning of the core, the formation of it, followed by the battle with the bugs and eagles took a great toll on him.

Formation of the core was the major cause of spiritual power depletion. Lith couldn't stop that even if he wanted as it was an automatic process.

The core would keep consuming the spiritual power of the body and the elemental energies from the body as well as the surroundings.

If the person has all his elemental energies and spiritual power exhausted, he would simply die.

Lith had no idea that he would be ascending in the immortal realms so soon. If he did, he would've better prepared himself. But everything happened too unexpectedly and he was caught off guard.

Lith could only grit his teeth and face this predicament he was in.

He made a destruction sword once again and took an attacking stance. He was ready to go all out with these creatures.

Lith knew that this was the last of the batch in his tribulation and there weren't any more coming. Once he killed these, the tribulation would be over.

Lith had to ensure he only used twenty percent of his spiritual power and the remaining ten percent was saved for the immortal core.

If he ends up exhausting everything, he will die.

Lith's mind worked in full capacity and he formulated many plans to fight with these creatures in front.

There were five blood bats and around two hundred and fifty thousand ovarian parasites.

Lith had to find the best possible way to kill them.

As Lith's thoughts accelerated, the creatures came closer and closer.

Soon…

Lith was about to attack them as they came closer but before he could do it, the creatures in front exploded like fireworks and they all got wiped out.

Lith was momentarily confused before he saw his mother and wife appear right in front of him.

He understood the reason for the tribulation ending so easily.

Looking at their divine figures, Lith internally thought, 'I missed them…'

Lith didn't know how long it was since he last saw them, but it definitely felt like an eternity. He was away from them for far too long and he hated this feeling.

Lith was about to move towards them and hug them when Lilith said calmly, "meditate and focus on the formation of the core." 

She reminded him of his situation and didn't let him slack.

Lith sighed as he heard that. He looked at Lilith and nodded his head.

Lith sat in a lotus position and meditated.

Lilith went behind him and placed her hand right in the middle of his back.

Life elemental energy surged towards Lilith's palm and moved all over Lith's body.

Life soon felt his spiritual power get restored and it wasn't long before all his fatigue was gone followed by his spiritual power getting fully restored.

Lilith backed away and moved towards Arya after she finished healing Lith.

After Lilith arrived, Arya asked softly, "what happened to him, mother?"

Lilith continued to look at Lith and said in a low voice, "someone tried to take control of him. Eventually it failed as Lith fought back. His ascension then began and he was fighting the tribulation for it."

Arya understood the gist of it as Lilith explained. There were many questions inside her head, but Lilith continued and said,

"Don't ask me questions for now. Just watch him. I'll let you know everything later."

Arya nodded her head and looked towards Lith.

Lilith and Arya both had appeared in this place when Lith's tribulation started. However, they didn't help him as they wanted to push him to his limits. Doing so would help him greatly and helping him would only hinder his growth process.

The two only helped him when they felt he couldn't take it anymore.

Lilith was the one assessing the situation so everything was under control. She obviously wouldn't watch Lith die. Thus, to be on a safe side, she ended Lith's tribulation when he was at his final thirty percent spiritual power.

The two ladies stood at one side and watched Lith as he ascended.

The tribulation that was over brought about great after effects for Lith.

His body had a surge of elemental energies and his attainment in the Fire, Space, Destruction, and Dark elemental energies rose sharply.

This attainment caused the respective elemental cores to shine brightly and pour in a lot of elemental energies into the main core, that was the transparent crystal.

The transparent crystal had elemental energies from all twelve cores poured inside it and as time passed, it took the shape of land, water, air, clouds, trees, etc.

A new world was formed in Lith's core and as time passed further, creatures appeared inside, first the wild ones and then the sentient ones.

Lith was amazed to see life form in his core. He had waited for a long time to see this.

This primitive form of life that occurred, it was humanoid but not humans. Lith was yet to figure out who these people were and what their race was.

The world formed in Lith's core again because his previous core was destroyed. Had that not been the case, Lith would've had something completely different than this.

But all was well since it didn't matter if the mortal core was there or not.

Lith's immortal core was still better without it and he didn't suffer any losses due to losing his previous core.

Lith's immortal core was formed in his subconscious when he had his mortal core with him. Thus, Lith lost nothing.

The twelve elemental energy cores revolving around the transparent main core, they had elemental energies come out of them in gaseous form and got connected to the main core.

The elemental cores poured energies into the main core and sustained it.

Finally, after a week, the core was formed completely.

The golden beam of light surrounding Lith in the Astral World started fluttering and soon, it went inside Lith's core and came out as grey.

The entirety of the golden beam of light went in over a period of a few weeks and came out.

Lith's core and the twelve elements cores got nourished greatly and after the golden beam of light was finally gone, Lith's core was fully ready and functional.

Lith, who was in a meditative position for all this while and had his eyes closed, finally opened it slowly.

He looked in front of him and a serious glint shone in his calm purple eyes.

"I am an immortal now."
