Chapter 1582 An Even Stronger Soul
-----
It has been five days since then, and we've all continued training hard. My Azure Ice Essence Cultivation, coupled with my Demonic Energy Cultivation have further strengthened my Soul, all while my body continuously grows stronger through my Demonic Physique's Development. At the same time, Benladann and Benladra have already come back from Skadi's Trial just a day of difference between one another. After Skadi said both could take it at the same time.
Benladann said the entire trial was surprisingly easy… I struggled quite a lot, but she went through it like a breeze! She said she couldn't use her chaos or miasmic mold magic, but her soul had adapted itself to be so much like an ice giant that she had an easier time than me, who had to slowly transform and evolve my soul into the soul of an ice giant.
And about Benladra, it was a bit harder for her, mostly because she went through something slightly similar to me. She started off as a human girl, someone she didn't even remember being, apparently. And slowly had to become an ice giant. It seems that Benladra has a terrible amnesia about her past life, for some reason. We've speculated she could have been a baby when she died, but she's slightly smarter than children her age, meaning that she did have some experiences.
It still a slight mystery, but not something that would ever stop us from loving our daughter. On other news, Kate has already tapped into her Spiritual Energy thanks to Pekora and the Fox Venerable's guidance, and now is slowly trying to combine it with her unique elements and her draconic energy to create even stronger techniques and minions.
About Rakasha getting the Ice Titan Bloodline… rejected. The Ice Queen said Vampires were not welcomed. She had no grudge against him in specific, but Skadi wouldn't allow someone that became one to enter their Trial, sadly. Rakasha never knew of this rejection because I never told him, I better just keep it a secret to not break the old man's heart.
Moving to other things, Drakda is doing really fine, my little champion has been eating vigorously every day, while his mother has been finally getting better and is now training and cultivating daily now that she's no longer pregnant. She has been continuously creating "Miasmic Chaos Treasures" inside of the Chaos Dragon Realm, which would strengthen the Realm's foundations and the chaotic energy flowing inside.
Our son hasn't done anything else than eating, and its better to leave it at that, the boy is too young to do anything else. I want him to relax and grow up without worries or concerns. Unlike with Benladra and Kate who forced themselves to go to battle to help me, Drakda will enjoy a better beginning in his life. He's already beginning to understand some words and is trying constantly to walk in two legs and fly but fails miserably at all of it… for now.
The rest of my friends and allies are all growing stronger. Thanks to the teachings of the Venerables, they now know how to properly use their Divinities and Divine Abilities much better than before, and are progressively becoming more and more powerful, almost unrecognizable.
Emerald and Surtr are also powering up a lot by going through intense sparring sessions against me and between one another, while constantly cultivating their draconic and divine energies. Surtr's party is also going through a similar training to my friends, and also Emerald's "party", where I'll include Tyrannus, his warriors, and Tyrannus daughter Amehia.
The Blue Lotus Flower Divine Spirit that was born out of the tree formed by Pekora and Yuki's Divine Spirit powers was ultimately given to Amehia by Yuki. Pekora said she already had a lot of powerful Divine Spirits, so the girl has been trying to practice magic using it, while entertaining and always chatting with Emerald, who often shifts between his dragon form and his Dragonoid appearance. There's some romance blooming between the two, but it's taking a while.
Amehia is certainly much less assertive of a girl than Surtr's twins Nadia and Mina, those two are incredibly horny fire titans, so they ate Surtr in bed at the first opportunity. However, Amehia is much shier, so she's taking her time with him, and they haven't even kissed yet. But there's some mutual love already. I'm honestly rooting for the boy, I hope he also gets some kids going later, the more the merrier to revive our dragon families! Though, wind dragons seem the most populous at the moment.
Oh, and about me? I've accumulated a few more hundred thousand demonic energy every day, while restoring my divine power used to summon more monsters. Ashlock has eaten a lot, finally reaching Rank 8. He didn't gain any new ability yet, but his Spirit and Demonic Powers have increased exponentially, and his size has become gigantic for a Spirit.
My Soul has been strengthened thanks to all the Azure Ice Essence cultivation, combined with the Light dragons Soul Forging Techniques, so I was able to finally break through and increase the stats again.
[Your Soul has grown stronger after a constant Soul Cultivation.]
[Your [Soul Ether]: [SS+] Stat has increased to [SS++]!]

"I now have over two billion Demonic Energy, enough to Rank Up my Demon King seed again, but do I take the gamble?" I wondered.
