Once Max entered the training chamber, he did not waste even a moment.

The chamber itself was designed for cultivation, with formations embedded into the floor and walls that stabilized spiritual energy and prevented disturbances from the outside world. However, Max had no intention of using the chamber directly.

With a simple thought, his figure vanished.

The moment his consciousness moved, he entered the Dimension of Time.

Inside that mysterious space, the environment remained the same as always. The endless white world stretched in every direction without limit. The ground beneath his feet was smooth and empty while the sky above carried a pale glow that gave the entire place a calm and timeless feeling.

Max slowly sat down on the empty ground.

For a moment he remained silent while his mind carefully reviewed everything he had obtained during the past few days.

"I have several inheritance techniques to master," he muttered quietly to himself. "I also have to open the divine veins of the Seven Divine Veins and continue increasing my strength."

The list of things he needed to accomplish was long.

His cultivation had reached the third level of the Rebirth Realm, yet the road ahead of him was still vast. If he wanted to stand among the geniuses of the Divine Realm and eventually confront the Elven Race, he would need to grow stronger at a terrifying pace.

Just as he was organizing his thoughts, another matter suddenly came to mind.

"Right," Max said quietly as his eyes narrowed slightly. "I also need to examine the five fruits that the flaming branch of the Chaos Tree produced."

The Chaos Tree inside his body had already undergone several transformations. The appearance of the flaming branch and the fruits it produced was something that could potentially bring tremendous benefits to his cultivation. However, investigating those fruits would require time and focus.

Max slowly shook his head.

"But first I will open the second divine vein," he said firmly.

His eyes grew serious as he spoke the next words.

"The Vein of Vitality."

With a small motion of his hand, a storage ring appeared in front of him.

This was the ring Lady Virelia had given him earlier.

Max opened the ring and carefully took out the item stored within it.

A red glowing bone appeared in his hand.

The bone belonged to the Horn Dragon.

Even without activating his spiritual perception, Max could clearly feel the powerful draconic aura contained within it. The bone emitted a faint crimson glow that seemed to pulse with vitality as if the dragon’s life force had not completely faded away.

Max took a slow breath and calmed his mind.

Unlike previous times, he did not immediately attempt to devour the bone using his black flames.

Earlier in his cultivation journey, he would have directly consumed such resources with his flames in order to extract their energy. However, now he possessed something far more valuable.

The Overlord Body Codex.

This cultivation method contained detailed knowledge on how to open the Seven Divine Veins and how to properly utilize different materials to stimulate those veins.

Max slowly closed his eyes as he recalled the information contained within the codex.

According to the teachings of the Overlord Body Codex, opening the Vein of Vitality required immense life force and an extremely durable body. The process involved refining powerful biological essence within the body and directing that energy toward the second divine vein.

The bone of the Horn Dragon was perfectly suited for this purpose.

Dragons were known for their overwhelming vitality and regenerative power. Even a fragment of their remains contained extraordinary life essence.

Max carefully placed the glowing bone before him.

Then he began circulating the technique recorded within the Overlord Body Codex.

As the method activated, the spiritual energy inside his body began to move in a specific pattern. The pathways described in the codex slowly guided the energy through his meridians toward a hidden point deep within his body where the second divine vein rested.

The process had begun.

Max slowly raised the crimson bone of the Horn Dragon in his hands and closed his eyes. The moment he began circulating the Overlord Body Codex, the white world of the Dimension of Time grew silent as if even the air itself had become still in anticipation of what was about to happen.

The technique of the Overlord Body Codex began to operate within his body.

Streams of energy moved through his meridians according to the pathways described within the codex. These movements were precise and forceful as if every strand of energy had been commanded to follow an ancient order written into the technique itself.

Max inhaled deeply before activating the first stage of refinement.

The crimson bone in his hands began to glow brighter.

Soon the bone started dissolving into a dense stream of red essence that floated before him like a cloud of burning mist. The moment that essence appeared, the entire space around Max filled with a powerful aura of vitality.

This was the life force of a dragon.

Max did not hesitate.

He guided the essence directly toward his body.

The moment the red energy entered him, a violent reaction erupted inside his body.

The dragon essence was far more aggressive than ordinary resources. It surged through his meridians like a raging flood as it attempted to dominate his entire body. The sheer vitality contained within the dragon bone was overwhelming.

Max’s muscles tensed instantly.

The Overlord Body Codex continued circulating as he forcefully guided the energy deeper inside his body.

The target of the entire process was the hidden point where the second divine vein rested.

The Vein of Vitality.

As the dragon essence gathered around that location, the pressure within his body began rising rapidly.

Max clenched his teeth.

Soon the pressure reached a terrifying level.

The energy around the second divine vein exploded outward as the codex attempted to force the vein open.

Crack.

A faint sound echoed through the silent white world.

Thin cracks suddenly appeared across Max’s skin.

At first they were small and barely noticeable. However, as more dragon essence surged into his body, the cracks began spreading rapidly across his arms, chest, and back.

Blood slowly seeped out of the fractures.

Max’s breathing became heavy as the process grew more violent.

The second divine vein was resisting.

Opening the Vein of Vitality required enormous life force and an extremely resilient body. The dragon essence was trying to force the vein open while the Overlord Body Codex continued compressing the energy deeper and deeper into Max’s flesh.

The pressure became unbearable.

More cracks appeared across his body as if his entire physique was beginning to shatter under the strain.

At that moment it looked as if his body might completely collapse.𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

However, Max’s body was not an ordinary one.

Deep within him the Draconic Essences began to respond.

All twelve hundred Draconic Essences inside his body erupted with power at the same time. A surge of ancient draconic strength spread through his muscles and bones as the essence reinforced every part of his body.

At the same moment the Dragon Scales Transformation reacted instinctively.

Black scales formed across his skin one after another.

These scales appeared wherever the cracks had formed as if they were sealing the breaking flesh beneath them. The scales glowed faintly with draconic power while the essence flowing through them strengthened Max’s body from within.

The combination of the Draconic Essences and the Dragon Scales stabilized the situation.

The cracks across his body stopped spreading.

Although the pain remained unbearable, his body no longer looked like it would collapse.

Max let out a low breath as he forced the Overlord Body Codex to continue operating.

The dragon essence was now fully gathered around the second divine vein.

With a final surge of will, Max pushed the energy forward.

Boom!

A deep vibration echoed inside his body.

The sealed pathway of the Vein of Vitality shattered open.

The moment the divine vein opened, a powerful wave of life force burst outward from the center of his body. The dragon essence that had been compressed inside him was instantly absorbed by the newly opened vein.

The energy transformed.

Instead of destructive pressure, a warm and powerful vitality began spreading through every part of his body.

The cracks across Max’s skin slowly began closing.

The dragon scales receded as the flesh beneath them regenerated rapidly. The Vein of Vitality began circulating powerful life energy through his body, repairing the damage caused during the breakthrough.

Max slowly opened his eyes.

His breathing was still heavy but his gaze was calm.

The second divine vein had finally opened.

The Vein of Vitality was now active within his body, and the immense life force it generated began strengthening his physique with every passing moment.
