Villain: I transmigrated with Mind Control Powers

Chapter 139: Chapter 139: Integration

After obtaining all the necessary information, Aric made his way to the Flourishing Immortal Inn. The inn towered above the city like a monolith, its 100 floors gleaming under the sunlight. Upon entering, Aric marveled at the luxurious atmosphere.

The receptionist at the counter glanced at him briefly, her eyes flickering with curiosity. "Welcome to the Flourishing Immortal Inn. How may I assist you?"

"I'd like to book a room," Aric replied, his tone casual but assertive. "The higher the floor, the better."

The receptionist nodded. "Unfortunately, the top floors—99th and 100th—are fully booked, but we still have rooms available on the 80th floor. That would be 80 High-Grade Spirit Stones per night."

Aric considered it for a moment. "I'll take the room on the 80th floor."

He handed over the spirit stones, and soon, he was escorted to his room. When he arrived, he found it to be relatively simple compared to the extravagant exterior of the inn. A futon was laid out on the ground, and there was a small table with a meditation mat. The most significant feature, however, was the dense spiritual energy that filled the room.

Aric sat down and closed his eyes, feeling the surge of energy in the atmosphere. The higher floors in the inn indeed provided superior spiritual energy, which would greatly aid his cultivation.

As night fell upon the Celestial Gathering City, the sounds of chaos echoed in the air. Aric stood by the window of his room on the 80th floor of the Flourishing Immortal Inn, watching a scene unfold below.

The city's peculiar rule allowing nighttime battles had already begun to take its toll. He could see several cultivators locked in fierce combat in the darkened streets, their blades clashing with bursts of energy as spiritual attacks were hurled through the air.

Some fought for personal grievances, others for treasures or vendettas from past encounters.

One fight in particular drew Aric's attention. A cultivator clad in black robes clashed with another dressed in golden armor, their Qi swirling around them like an oppressive storm.

The black-robed figure summoned dark flames from his hands, while the armored opponent retaliated with beams of golden light, illuminating the street below.

Aric's eyes gleamed with interest for a moment, but he soon turned away. "Petty squabbles," he muttered to himself. His focus wasn't on the fights outside—he had much bigger plans in mind.

Back inside his room, Aric prepared for his next task: integrating the Heart of the Primordial Titan into his body.

He had acquired this ancient relic through his conquests, and it had been waiting for the right moment to be unleashed. Now, that moment had come.

"System, how many Villain Points are required for the integration of the Heart of the Primordial Titan?"

[Ding! 10,000 Villain Points are required for the integration.]

"Take them."

The moment the system confirmed his command, the relic in Aric's possession began to glow with an otherworldly light.

The Heart of the Primordial Titan, a pulsating crystalline organ, floated in the air before him, radiating immense power.

Its energy was ancient, derived from a long-lost civilization, and it was capable of transforming anyone who wielded it into a being of immense strength, almost godlike in nature.

The moment Aric reached out to touch it, the heart melted into streams of golden energy and surged toward him, entering his body through his chest.

The sensation was overwhelming, like his entire body was being flooded with molten energy, reshaping his meridians and expanding his spiritual pathways.

Aric's eyes widened as the power surged through him, feeling every fiber of his being enhanced. His meridians widened, becoming large enough to absorb three times the amount of energy from his surroundings.

His muscles pulsed with newfound strength, veins glowing with the power of the Primordial Titan as it integrated with his flesh and bones.

His physical strength increased exponentially, making him feel as if he could crush mountains with a single strike.

Every breath he took seemed to draw in more spiritual energy from the dense atmosphere of the upper world, filling him with vigor. He felt like a living conduit of untold power.

As the process neared its completion, Aric felt his cultivation base surge. The integration of the heart had pushed his body and soul to the brink, and he sensed he was on the verge of breaking through from the second to the third stage of the Half Immortal Realm.

"Unbelievable... this power," Aric murmured as the golden light faded, leaving him standing in the room, his body pulsing with strength. His meridians were now far more efficient, allowing him to absorb spiritual energy at an alarming rate.

But his work wasn't done yet.

Aric turned his gaze to another treasure he had been holding onto for some time—the Heavenly Fox Essence.

This essence had the ability to enhance charm and illusion-casting abilities, traits of the mythical fox race that made them irresistible and dangerously deceptive. With his new strength, Aric decided it was time to enhance his charisma and illusion techniques as well.

"System, prepare to absorb the Heavenly Fox Essence."

The system confirmed his command, and the essence, a small vial of shimmering liquid, floated up before him.

It radiated a soft, seductive light, and the moment Aric uncorked the vial, the energy within it began to swirl around him, wrapping his body in a mesmerizing aura.

He closed his eyes and allowed the essence to flow into him. It seeped through his pores, merging with his flesh and spirit.

The essence of the heavenly fox granted Aric an otherworldly charm, his presence becoming even more magnetic. His skin glowed faintly, and when he glanced at his reflection, he found his features sharper, more refined, and alluring.

His charm had increased drastically. He knew that with this essence, his ability to manipulate others through illusion and seduction would become almost effortless.

As the essence fully merged with his body, Aric checked his status.

A satisfied smirk curled on Aric's lips. "These stats... With the Nine Tails Illusion Art and the Heavenly Fox Essence combined, manipulating others will be child's play."

But as he continued scrolling through the panel, his eyes caught something that made his grin widen even further.

"Oh, my Supreme Bone... I had completely forgotten about you," Aric mused to himself, feeling excitement bubble within him. "It's time for you to finally integrate with me."

The Supreme Bone was not just any treasure. It was a legendary artifact that would vastly enhance his cultivation speed, strength, and regenerative abilities. Many in the cultivation world would kill for such a treasure. And now, it was his.

"System," Aric commanded, "Initiate the integration with the Supreme Bone."

[Ding! 10,000 Villain Points are required for the integration]

"Take them."

The moment Aric gave the order, the Supreme Bone floated from his storage ring and hovered in front of him. It radiated a soft, ethereal glow, pulsing with immense power. This wasn't just a bone—it was a manifestation of heaven's favor, a relic from the ancient cultivation world, coveted by all.

As Aric extended his hand, the bone slowly dissolved into strands of golden light, flowing into his chest. The feeling was indescribable—an overwhelming surge of energy shot through his entire body, making his muscles twitch and his veins hum with power.

He could feel the bone merging with his own skeletal structure, altering it, reinforcing it with the strength of legends. His cells responded instantly, his physical resilience skyrocketing. His regeneration capabilities exploded as he felt his body healing at a pace far beyond anything he had ever experienced.

[Ding! Integration of Supreme Bone Complete]

A rush of spiritual energy flooded Aric's meridians, pushing them to new heights. He could feel his cultivation base leap forward, his connection with the heavens growing stronger with each passing moment. His speed of absorbing spiritual energy increased exponentially, allowing him to siphon far more than he could before.

The amount of energy which a normal person can absorb in 10 years is equivalent to what a person with a supreme bone can absorb in one day. That's why it was so coveted.

He clenched his fists, feeling the raw strength coursing through him. His body now felt like a conduit of unending power—energy flowed through him like a roaring river, with no sign of it slowing down.

"This... this is what it feels like," Aric muttered, his voice filled with awe and satisfaction. "I can see now why the Supreme Bone is so coveted. My strength, resilience, and regeneration have all improved dramatically."
