Way of the Knights

---

Due to long period of inactivity, Raven's body had deteriorated by a lot. 

Currently, he was not far from being a dried corpse. If it weren't for the fact that his body was been nourished by Cosmic Energy and also adjusted to his Spacetime Laws, Raven's body would've rotten already. 

Now that his instincts had reigned over the previously berserk and unruly Cosmic Energies, it could now officially restore his health. Though, that is not all that it can do…

Everything started on his heart. With one powerful pulse, it forced Cosmic Energies to circulate on every corner of his body. Unlike before where, the circulation this time isn't just to convert the unruly and stagnant energies. Instead, it is to allow his physical body to completely recover. 

Cosmic Energies filled with an astonishing vitality took initiative to fuse with Raven's deteriorated body. As it did, they filled each pore of his body with vibrant energies. They got rid of the old cells, causing Raven's body to shed skin. Each cells on his body was being replaced by a more powerful ones, greatly increasing his strength without causing a major breakthrough. 

Additionally, Raven's body had been blessed by the laws due to him possessing a Perfected Deity's Champion Physique. This caused his body to be filled with law diagrams. Due to his previous state, these law diagrams turned blurry and inactive. 

But now, along with Raven's recovery, these law diagrams were also recovering as well. In fact, due to the unique serendipity that Raven experienced just now, some of these law diagrams already fused with his blood streams, dissolving into pure insights which would solidify Raven's law foundation in the future. 

Slowly but surely, Raven's body recovered to its previous state but things didn't stop there. 

Just because its previous state had been restored, it doesn't mean that Raven's instincts would stop there. The dangerous part had been over, Raven didn't implode from the excessive amounts of Cosmic Energy on his body. And since there's no risk now, then it is time to experience the benefits of serendipity. 

With outrageous amounts of Cosmic Energy, Raven's physique continued shedding. Even though he already experienced multiple transformations thanks to the First Chapter of the Book of Chaos, Raven's physique was nowhere near perfection. However, since he unlocked all of Cosmic Energy, he could totally take advantage of it and allow it to strengthen his Physical Body in a skyrocketing manner. 

Cosmic Energy contained the longevity of Vital Energies, the viscosity of Essence Energies and the purity of Spiritual Energies. Making Raven's physical body stronger a simple feat, specially now that he unlocked his full capacity. 

Sufficed to say, Raven is now experiencing another metamorphosis without making a major breakthrough in cultivation. 

Raven repeatedly shed his skin, hair, nails and etc. This process would normally require too much energy but with his current capacity, the expenditure was almost negligible. 

Many things changed within his Inner World since then. Compared before where it's mostly dark and the only thing that's providing light is the sealed up Cosmic Energies, the scene right now is a far cry from that state. 

Raven's Inner World almost looked like a real Cosmos with the enormous Bounty Orb at its center. 

The Cosmos was filled with gray color, following the color of the Bounty Orb itself. As the Bounty Orb rotated in place, a swirl of milky gray light swerved around it. This scene was almost the same as the image that Raven saw when he met Geezer. 

There are occasional sparks of light within, causing the image of the cosmos to twinkle despite its color. These twinkles are formed from crystalized Cosmic Energies due to its purity and density. A single piece of crystalized cosmic energy contains as much energy as a Spirit Stone Slab. But these crystals are the most common thing within Raven's inner world.

Even with his constant shedding, these crystals within his inner world would only dim for a moment before recovering their usual brilliance. 

Additionally, aside from the Bounty Orb, there are another 'stars' within the cosmos that is Raven's Inner World. 

One star was completely filled with muddy brown hue. On the surface of this star, constant scene of chaos were present but would only occur within the star. There is a unique aura surrounding this star, making it feel dangerous and unapproachable. 

This star contained all insights that Raven has for Destruction Laws. 

On the opposite side of this star lies another one which was filled with a profound and ancient air. The appearance of the star was undecipherable since it was constantly changing its appearance. It was as if the whole star is covered with a illusion that confuses anyone that gazes on it. 

This star represents Raven's Spacetime Laws.

In truth, Raven's instincts didn't actively make this happen. These stars appeared just like that. Each one contains and represent Raven's current achievements in laws. The Spacetime Star was smaller compared to the Destruction Star. The most plausible reason behind that is because Raven hadn't trained his Spacetime Laws nearly enough as his Destruction Laws. 

These stars also had their own law diagrams, but unlike the ones on Raven's body. These law diagrams wouldn't dissipate. In fact, they will remain there and serve as foundations for his future reference. 

Scenes of changes were also present within Raven's body. With unceasing absorption of Cosmic Energy, his Energy Network, his skin, muscles, veins, organs, blood, marrows and bones were constantly shedding and getting stronger. 

All the impurities were grounded to dissipation, everything that's been old replaced by the new. Raven's being reborn anew! His body took one step closer to perfection, there's no need to talk about the amount of energies he has nor the purity and quality of his soul. Right now, another flaw on Raven's existence vanished. His current body was transformed into something that could bear the burden of his entire Cosmic Energy. 

Right now, amongst the geniuses in the Divine Realm, Raven would definitely rank amongst the top when it comes to Energy Reserves alone. 

And after nearly a year of being in slumber within the 89th floor of the Devil Emperor's Pagoda...

Raven's eyes fluttered and opened slowly…

***

The moment he opened his eyes, everything near him trembled…

His pupils were akin to blazing torches that released brilliant rays of light. Raven's thoughts were empty for a bit, causing him to be silent but the sheer density of his aura was enough to cause the ground to be filled with cracks. 

*Dug!* *Dug!*

"Hmm? That sound is…" Raven's voice sounded hoarse yet clear. It even caused the air to rumble as he did so. His mind operated at once, focusing on the sound which was familiar to him. 

"That sound like…my heart?" Raven's voice were filled uncertainty. "What happened to me?" 

He was confused, therefore he tried recalling everything that happened before he fell unconscious. Unfortunately, the moment he focused, waves of new and unfiltered sensations overwhelmed him. 

For reason unknown to him, his thoughts were quick but in disarray. To his surprise, he could feel numerous sensations that gives him many information to process, which disoriented him for a bit. But again, to his surprise, it only lasted for a brief moment before he was able to adjust to it. 

But if there's anything that's completely occupying his mind right now, it would be the feeling of power. 

"I feel…strangely powerful…what in the world happened?" 

A frown appeared on his face, he took a step forward unconsciously and a surprising thing happened. 

*BOOM!!*

An enormous explosion occurred as soon as he stepped forward. The mountain he's one suddenly shattered, causing Raven to be lose composure and flail around. However, as his arm moved, it was as if it became a treasured whip that shattered the rocks falling beside him. 

Raven caught sight of this, causing his eyes to widen as he incredulously stared at his own hands. 

Gravity swiftly pulled him down along with the rocks, his shock was so strong that he didn't realize that he was already being bombarded with numerous falling rubble. 

A massive piece of rubble was actually falling on top of him, and since he realized it too late, he shielded his head with his arms. The rubble fell to him, causing Raven's face to twist while saying…

"It hurts...not!? Huh?" 

Shock was plastered all over his face as he once again stared incredulously at his own arms. He saw no blood, no cuts nor any bruises. There wasn't any white scratch marks, damaged skin or feeling of pain on his arms. 

In short, he was perfectly fine...

"Uh…" Raven's lips twitched, he gazed around him, hoping to find the elk to ask questions but it wasn't there. 

He felt that this scenario was slightly unbelievable, so much so that he feels like he was inside some sort of an illusion or simulation. 

None could blame him though, the moment he opened his eyes, an unbelievable sense of power filled his heart already. He was met with one surprise after another, causing him to feel confused. So in order to asses his current situation, he decided to sit down and introspect. 

And upon seeing what happened within his Inner World, Raven's eyes snapped wide open…
