….

*Rumble!* Far away a few seconds later, after the fight between Scarlet Eye and Leylin, a black streak of lightning slammed onto a large rock and smashed it into the firestorm, revealing the miserable figures of Leylin.

*Woosh!* Cracks spread across the rock like spiderwebs, and large fragments began to fall off.

Leylin was in a very pitiful state. Not only were their traces of burn wounds all over his body, blood was pouring out of his mouth like a fountain as intense pain could be felt from various parts of his body, causing him to groan and bend his back.

“A.I. Chip!” Leylin immediately ordered, “Check my current condition!”

[Beep! Host body’s physical damage is at 39.61%. Fractures found at 11 areas, and signs of bruising observed on internal organs, Severe burns all over the body. Immediate treatment is recommended!] The A.I. Chip loyally intoned, transmitting a 3D human figure to him. The blue image held many signs of wounds.

“That scarlet eye sure is something else! His final attack did quite a number on me but it’s all fine. My gains were satisfactory.’ Even with Leylin’s current ability, he was still injured to this degree. Scarlet Eye is a legit Radiant Moon magi level existence, his prowess is very amazing and his last attack was even more thunderous.

‘I guess, its time for me to use a bit of the Sentient force I have stored so far.’ Leylin thought as he gritted his teeth and decided to get rid of this conditions immediately. He despises being injured very much.

Leylin hasn’t use a single bit of sentient force absorbed from various of his victims, since he has advanced to Morning Star as he has been saving it for quite some time.

Leylin has killed six morning star magus level existence so far, and his seventh victim just currently took his last breath. He absorbed all of the sentient force from their point mass after killing them.

First and foremost of his victim was the Demon Hunter Cyril, after that he has killed two other Morning Star enemy while participating in the mission accepted by Lita from the Morning Star Area. Here, in the Lava World he has killed a total of three elemental being at Morning Star level.

And his latest victim was the Northern Duke of Altan Union who he devoured whole. He only engulfed and immobilized the star rank emberwing race member as Leylin used Norther Duke’s own leader, Scarlet Eye last attack to kill him by directing a portion of the brunt in his direction.

Leylin had other use for him, that is why he didn’t kill him immediately after devouring Norther Duke but rather waited till his job was done.

Leylin immediately utilized his sentient force as his point mass stirred and an amazing amount of life energy pulsed and entered into his body. Leylin really loved this sensation of being able to feel his advancement. Leylin astonishing vitality was increased exponentially as it worked in full throttle and his Warlock bloodline were slowly mending the injuries in his body, allowing his tightly furrowed eyebrows to relax.

He immediately returned to normal after directing great amount of sentient force and all of his injuries were healed at a miraculous speed, but Leylin didn’t stop as he kept driving the sentient force and pushed himself through a breakthrough in the process.

After breaking through from the bottleneck he slowly consolidated his power to the peak and cut off the flow of sentient force keeping the rest inside himself.

[Beep! Database has been refreshed. stats

recalculated.] The A.I. Chip intoned.

“Show me my current stats!” Leylin immediately commanded.

[Beep! Leylin Farlier. Rank 4 Warlock, Bloodline: Adhishesh. Strength: 75.6, Agility: 61.4, Vitality: 130.1, Spiritual force: 891.2, Magic power: 891 (Magic power is in synchronisation with spiritual force) Soul force: 89 (Four Star)] The A.I. Chip intoned.

“Peak of 4 star huh, it’s good but I should breakthrough to 5 star. It would be much easier to implement my future plans.” Leylin thought as he decided to add on to his strength, but Leylin didn’t proceed to retrieve the sentient force again, rather he pulled out some firesource stone in his hands.

This is his loot from the body of Northern Duke, as a star rank expert he is bound to have some firesource stone in his hands and apart from them, Leylin could gain some more firesource stone if he wants.

Leylin has decided to not use his sentient force for now, and just rely on the firesource stone to breakthrough because the sentient force is a very miraculous thing capable of advancing any of his attributes including his bloodline. To Leylin, firesource stone isn’t a must have because the sentient force is much more amazing but it’s better to use this than utilizing sentient force because Leylin doesn’t need to worry about his body not able to control his rapid soul force increase.

Leylin can also use sentient force to quickly heal great injuries and also perfom various mind blowing feats. Quite Frankly, there could never be a lot of sentient force.

Leylin asked Lita to use all the firesource stone she get to use for her own growth, because Leylin has complete confidence in his ability to breakthrough and even if he wants some firesource stone, he could easily raid the military camps of Altan Union or attack Mobius organization base all by himself.

If fact, he has some moves in his mind regarding this. For Leylin, the amount that Lita has is just a drop in the bucket. It would be better used to improve her strength along with the Duke so, that they could probably be more useful in his plan later on.

Apart from the firesource stone, there is something else that Leylin cared more about and that was the Fireplume technique of the emberwing race. Leylin got the initial levels of the technique from Lita and he captured Northern Duke breaking his defences to have A. I. Chip record his achievement. Leylin also got the data from fighting Scarlet Eye, with all of this added together he has quite confidence into stimulating upper level himself.

“Northern Duke corpse is also very important for my study.” Leylin thought as he remember Scarlet Eye in his transformation of the gigantic bird of fire. Such a transformation is very similar to that of an ancient Warlock. It could be concluded that the the body of Emberwing Morning Star has the bloodline of the fire phoenix.

Warlocks were always fond of high-level bloodlines. This bloodline posed an irresistible attraction to Warlocks even if it was diluted through sacrifices and projections.

The Fireplume and the fire phoenix have a relationship, and the tenth level of Fireplume requires connecting with the fire phoenix, and even withstanding the corruptive power radiating from it.

The true body of the tremendous fire phoenix was obviously not here, but with sacrificial rites, or other techniques absorbing some sort of energy, disseminating power was a method used by many existences to traverse worlds.

[Beep! Recording of tenth level of Fireplume complete. Beginning analysis…] The A.I. Chip’s voice sounded, and Leylin carefully looked through the contents in his memory bank.

Compared to the ninth level, the tenth touched on the Morning Star Realm, and was a path that focused on strength. Given that this had the unique characteristics of a foreign world, it would have very high research value.

Many ancient Magi were all-embracing, incorporating these paths from other worlds into their own systems to advance. By making use of others’ strengths to make up for their own weak points, they had been able to achieve the splendour of the ancient era.

“The tenth level of Fireplume!” Leylin’s expression gradually became excited.

The person who created this technique had a talent that was off the charts. This was definitely a powerful technique that could contend against many other top-grade meditation techniques!

As the A.I. Chip’s analysis progressed, Leylin’s aura gradually changed.

Within his body, the boiling hot energy from the ninth level of Fireplume gradually purified and turned transparent, emanating a frightening might.

Large amounts of fire elemental crystals appeared, and even seemed to turn into a whirlpool.

*Skreee* A high-pitched phoenix cry sounded by Leylin’s ear. It felt as if his spiritual and soul force had made a connection with some unique existence!

At the bottom of an abyssal starry river, a giant, terrifying beast with a body that spanned several worlds suddenly opened its eyes, gazing at Leylin coldly. “The legendary ancient fire phoenix? The king or even primogenitor of fire phoenixes! What would it reaction be towards my Vermilion Bird Bloodline.”

The fire phoenix that was like a world itself… Probably the ancient lord of phoenixes.

Leylin recalled that terrifying giant fire phoenix. It could only be compared with existences such as the Snake Dowager, Trial’s Eye, and a few others.

According to Leylin speculation, Vermilion Bird is also from the same ancestry of the Ancient Phoenix, which would mean that a Vermilion Bird Warlock cannot help but feel helpless against some like that as a worship deep in their bones towards such existence would emerge, but Leylin is not worried because he is already pass that stage, he is much more than just a Vermilion Bird warlock.

Also, Leylin knew very well that what he saw was merely a phantom, even still such an ancient existence was mysterious and difficult to fathom. It could perhaps even use its phantom to display its strength but he won’t be in any mortal danger.

The indifference in the phoenix’s eyes caused Leylin to release a sigh of relief. Obviously he cannot fool someone at such an unfathomable level but his Vermilion Bird roots were legit which would just project himself as one of the Ancient phoenix descendants with a bit of peculiarly.

‘I shouldn’t stay for long or else I would be found!’ A thought flashed in Leylin’s mind, and immediately after he sensed a tremendous crimson probing coming towards him.

*Rumble!* Leylin immediately withdraw himself and stopped himself from being found. It wouldn’t have mattered anyway but why take the risk.

The Fireplume at the Morning Star rank is a path of sacrifice! By offering sacrifices up to the ancient fire phoenix or even changing one’s bloodline, one will ultimately become part of its family

These methods were similar to the belief in various gods, but was still different. Gods focused on quantity, while the path of sacrifice was passed on on a large scale, but then focused only on the elites. It was more like a chosen community of its own.

“A.I. Chip, begin modification of Fireplume. Moderate the force of point mass and simulate fusion of the two, enhance the technique with the data collected from Scarlet Eye and erase all bloodline control.”

Leylin was rather interested in modifying the technique and fusing it into the Magus World system.

In the ancient era, these thoughts had been proven countless times to be workable. On top of that, the element he has full affinity with was the fire element along with many others, and in this area he had a natural advantage.

[Beep! Beginning fusion simulation, mobilising 80% of task resources. Tenth level of Fireplume, meditation technique Kemoyin’s Pupil, Dragon Scales, Tiger Wave, etc..… Estimated time: 14 days, 23 hours, 54 minutes and 27 seconds…]

The A.I. Chip loyally intoned.

Leylin has various mediation technique in his procession, the accumulation of which is quite substantial and provides an amazing source for data and inspiration. After Leylin had entered the Morning Star realm, its calculations and simulation techniques had been reinforced, and the time limit set was now precise to the second. This was a rare occurrence while simulating techniques in the past.

“14 days?There would be plenty of time left before the Holy Solar Festival. I should use this time to infiltrate and gain control of Allied Kingdom!” Leylin touched his chin, rather satisfied with this outcome.

The tenth level of Fireplume was the gateway to the Star rank. Leylin’s energy had already been condensed to form a point mass, and if these two systems could be fused successfully the formidable power produced would definitely not just be additive. There would be a horrifying qualitative change in him, amplifying his powers to a great extent.

Additionally, Leylin decided to collect all the firasource stones from various sources in the meantime, something that would cause his soul force to improve by leaps and bounds.

His eyes glowed crimson as the corners of his lips rose to form a wicked smile.

‘After this fight with Scarlet Eye, I have a clear understanding of my skills and also what I am up against. I’ll stick to my plan with a few adjustments. This Holy Solar Day will not pass in peace. Divineflame Empire, Jupiter’s Lighting, and even the Ouroboros Clan will take action. When that time comes, this place will be plunged into chaos. And there is no way I won’t make full use of this chance and as my pawn Allied Kingdom would also be pulled in the mess as well.’

Time was ticking by. Leylin has already made his decision to act on the day of the Emberwings’ festival— the Holy Solar Day.
