Free Web NovelChapter 270: Chapter 151: Advancing to the Upper Rank Level
Inside the Calamity Court Divine Kingdom, on the Immortal Floating Island.
CHISSS...
CHISSS...
As Zorn completed the channeling,
the floating Divine Kingdom - Angel Armament’s many parts began to disassemble on their own.
Then, each part began to pierce his flesh from the outside, fusing with his own Sequence framework.
CHISSS...
The fusion of each part brought a sharp, stinging pain.
But the amplifying effect was also significant.
The fusion of each part brought a substantial enhancement.
About half a day later,
as the final Feather Blade Sequence structure poured into the depths of his Sequence, its main body floated up behind Zorn.
A complete six-winged Divine Kingdom - Angel Armament was officially implanted. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ
VMMMM...
The entire set of the Divine Kingdom - Angel Armament emanated a silver glow.
Zorn floated into the air.
’This Angel Armament naturally comes with the ability to fly. It’s truly a top-tier implant forged from the materials of a Crown-level expert.’
’I just finished the implantation, and it hasn’t fully fused and been absorbed yet, but it’s already increased my Sequence strength by about half a level.’
’The improvements to my mobility, long-distance travel, and Defense are especially astonishing.’
’And my strength in these areas wasn’t weak to begin with.’
’After a while, once I completely fuse with and absorb the Angel Armament, my Sequence Level will increase by a level and a half.’
’It’s not as good as the two-level increase from a Twelve-winged Angel Armament,’
’but it’s still much better than the one-level increase from a Two-winged Angel Armament.’
After carefully examining the Divine Kingdom Angel Armament,
Zorn’s thoughts turned to the three choices Lord Ossirion had given him a few days ago.
Although Zorn had already made a general decision and weighed the pros and cons of each choice,
the specifics would have to wait until after he advanced to the Upper Rank Level and completed five years of secluded cultivation.
After all, the situation in the outside world was not static.
The optimal solution now might not be the optimal solution in five or six years.
Slowly collecting his thoughts, Zorn refocused on his current secluded cultivation within the Divine Kingdom.
’Advancing to the Upper Rank Level next shouldn’t be much of a problem.’
’For one, the many Sacred Marks I carved in the Steam Realm of the Holy Relic World are recovering.’
’For another, the Disaster Court Tree of the Magic Ring provides a very strong buff to Middle Rank Level Transcendents like us.’
’Plus, there are the vast Star Mark resources I’ve absorbed myself.’
’After I fully absorb and stabilize this Angel Armament, I should be able to advance to the Upper Rank Level in half a year, a year at most.’
’Advancing to the Upper Rank Level is just a formality for me.’
’The resources I’ve obtained in the Divine Kingdom are the real focus of my cultivation from now on.’
’For resources from Level 11 to Level 15, the Divine Kingdom will open a Divine Kingdom Source Pool on my Floating Island.’
’Excluding the resources I already have, leveling up once more, or even twice, won’t be a problem.’
’I’ve also obtained the Divine Kingdom - Angel Armament.’
’The most crucial things are that one Upper Rank Ancient God Curse Seed and the three Crown Forbidden Curse Seeds.’
Powers like the Highland Three Divine Kingdoms, the Calamity Court, the Star Remains, and the Eternal Curtain...
...all possess their own reserves of Forbidden Curses and Ancient God Curses.
The Upper Rank Ancient God Curse Seed.
It is an Ancient God Curse conceived and nurtured by the Tree of the Magic Ring within the Calamity Court Divine Tree.
Zorn was quite satisfied with this type of Ancient God Curse, which leaned toward the "Divine Punishment" characteristic.
The Divine Punishment characteristic often comes with a powerful execution ability.
Furthermore, Zorn’s Divine Kingdom had already begun to draw from the "Cosmic Demon Pool."
Zorn had his own plan to further nurture the "Ancient God Curse Seed."
An Ancient God Curse nurtured by the Cosmic Demon Pool would have its strength and characteristics elevated to a whole new level.
It would be equivalent to fully strengthening an "Ancient God Curse" one time.
By the same token,
the same applied to the Crown Forbidden Curse Seeds.
A "Crown Forbidden Curse Seed" nurtured by the "Cosmic Demon Pool"...
...would have its strength greatly increased, becoming very close to a conventional "Ancient God Curse."
Crown Forbidden Curse Seeds.
They are separated directly from the Sequences of Crown-level experts from other kingdoms, who are captured and confined within a Magic Ring cage. The Disaster Court Tree of the Magic Ring then absorbs them as nutrients.
The reason these Forbidden Curse Seeds are called "Crown Forbidden Curse Seeds" is that they contain a certain "Crown characteristic."
When cast, it’s like a Crown-level expert using a smurf account, possessing extremely destructive power.
This is a huge help to Upper Rank Level Transcendents.
Their power can even surpass that of some Ancient God Curses that haven’t been fully cultivated.
’The Forbidden Curse Seed Source Pool only opens once a year, and the next opening is in five months. I’ll need to go over then and pick out the Crown Forbidden Curse Seeds I need.’
’The Ancient God Curse Seeds, on the other hand, are available once every three years. The next opening is in a little over a year.’
’I can’t miss these two opportunities. I have the Tree of the Magic Ring. After I get these Sequence seeds, I’ll put them into the Tree of the Magic Ring and use the Cosmic Demon Pool Root Source to directly nurture and cultivate them.’
’That way...’
As he thought, Zorn’s pupils constricted, and he suddenly clenched his fist.
’Once they’re cultivated to a certain stage...’
’My Upper Rank Ancient God Curse and Forbidden Curses will be exceptionally powerful, far surpassing anyone else of the same rank.’
’And... as time goes on...’
’...especially when we enter the Era of the Star Realm’s mythological Chapter, that will be my era entirely!’
For a period of time after that,
Zorn began his secluded cultivation within the Divine Kingdom.
Zorn was not the only one.
The many extraordinary geniuses in the Divine Kingdom did the same.
Having finished absorbing and assimilating their Angel Armaments, they each began their own journey of secluded cultivation.
Time flew by.
Five months passed in the blink of an eye.
With the opening of a new round for the Crown Forbidden Curse Seed Source Pool,
this batch of Transcendents entered the Forbidden Curse Seed Source Pool to select powerful Crown Forbidden Curse Seeds that suited them.
In this round, Zorn only selected two Crown Forbidden Curse Seeds.
One was a Forbidden Curse leaning toward the abilities of the "Wanderer Sequence."
The other was a passive-characteristic Forbidden Curse, "Star Trace Fissure."
Zorn’s own Sequence possessed the "Traveler" characteristic, and his Divine Kingdom - Angel Armament also had the high-mobility characteristic of a Far Traveler.
Therefore, Zorn was fully capable of utilizing the abilities of the "Wanderer Sequence."
The other one, "Star Trace Fissure," could enhance the damage and subsequent pulling force of Zorn’s Fissure-related attacks.
Of course, the main purpose of this Forbidden Curse was to coordinate with the Ancient God Curse Zorn had planned.
Zorn also had an idea for a third Crown Forbidden Curse Seed, but he didn’t come across a suitable one this time.
Each time the Crown Forbidden Curse Seed Source Pool opened, only a portion of the seeds were released.
If there wasn’t a suitable one this time, there might be one the next time he came.
After obtaining these two Crown Forbidden Curse Seeds, Zorn put them directly into the framework of his Divine Kingdom’s Tree of the Magic Ring, allowing them to be nurtured by the Cosmic Demon Pool Root Source that the Tree of the Magic Ring was absorbing.
This way, even before Zorn inherited them, their Sequence Level could be steadily raised.
At the same time, the power of the Cosmic Demon Pool’s root source could be used to strengthen them,
allowing the power of these Crown Forbidden Curses to touch the threshold of an Ancient God Curse.
Having laid out his plans long ago with the Cosmic Demon Pool, Divine Kingdom, Tree of Calamity Magic Ring, and more, Zorn would now build an extremely powerful foundation of strength and advantage.
Three months after obtaining the Crown Forbidden Curse Seeds,
the Divine Kingdom - Angel Armament was completely stabilized.
By drawing a portion of power from the Disaster Court Magic Ring Tree and investing one of his own Sacred Marks,
Zorn began to push for the Upper Rank Level.
It took about a week.
Zorn successfully advanced to the Upper Rank Level.
With the breakthrough in his Sequence Level,
his Sequence strength underwent a major transformation, constructing the Upper Rank Evil Spirit Wizard Sequence framework and the Upper Rank Fighting Master framework.
His Star Trace Gang Qi and Holy Witch Evil Energy both underwent a qualitative transformation to the Upper Rank Level.
Upon advancing to Level 11, Zorn’s Sequence Experience skyrocketed, only stopping when it reached 66% of the way to the next level.
The two years he had spent stuck at 99% Experience at Level 10 allowed Zorn to accumulate a massive amount of Spiritual Essence and Fighting Essence. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com
Although he didn’t go straight to Level 12 after breaking through,
pushing his Sequence Experience two-thirds of the way was already quite impressive.
As Zorn advanced to the Upper Rank Level,
his Angel Armament also transformed along with his advancement, providing Zorn with an even greater boost at the Upper Rank Level.
This was the benefit of a powerful Divine Kingdom - Angel Armament.
It could transform and improve along with the Transcendent’s own Sequence strength.
Before he knew it,
it was already time for the Ancient God Curse Seed Source Pool to open.
...
On the plaza of the Ancient God Curse Seed Source Pool Floating Island.
When Zorn arrived, fifty or sixty people were already waiting there.
The opening of the Ancient God Curse Seeds, which happened only once every three years, was not an event to be missed.
At this moment, most of the people on the Floating Island were owners of Angel Armaments.
Some had their Angel Armaments manifested, looking like armored, mechanical Angels with silver Feather Blades.
Others had their Angel Armaments retracted, not showing them on the surface.
Moreover, the vast majority of the Transcendents who had come to choose an Ancient God Curse this time had already advanced to the Upper Rank Level.
"Zorn, over here!"
He had just flown over and hadn’t even landed on the Floating Island yet when
Zorn saw Buer, the "Star Shepherd," waving at him while wearing a blood-red Angel Armament.
Zorn immediately descended toward him.
The other four members with Angel Armaments under Lord Ossirion were also gathered here.
"Zorn, last time I saw you, you were Level 10. Now you’ve already advanced to the Upper Rank Level. Looks like you’re almost Level 12!"
The one who spoke was Chapman, the "Cosmic Wanderer."
There wasn’t much animosity between the two.
After their initial battle, they had run into each other several times in the Tree Nest Arena District and had even sparred twice.
Gradually, they had become familiar with each other.
"Look who’s talking. You’re already Level 12," Zorn teased.
"Heh... My Talent isn’t as good as yours. If I don’t work hard, I’ll be left even further behind."
Zorn then looked toward the last of the five with a Divine Kingdom Angel Armament.
"This must be Lady Veronica, the ’Witch’!"
"Greetings, Your Excellency Zorn!"
Veronica, the "Witch," who had also reached Level 11, greeted Zorn, her voice exceptionally pleasant.
Although this "Witch," Veronica, seemed a bit shy and introverted,
her Witchcraft was formidable.
She had defeated dozens of experts to finally obtain the last Four-winged Angel Armament from Lord Ossirion.
Anyone who could stand here, wearing an Angel Armament and waiting to receive an Ancient God Curse...
...every single one of them, was a powerhouse at the peak of their generation, having fought and killed through countless battles to get here.
Even Chapman, the "Cosmic Wanderer" who had lost to Zorn,
had killed nearly ten ordinary Upper Rank Level Transcendents when he was Level 10 in the Material Plane World, and he had slain countless other Level 10 Transcendents.
"Your Excellency Zorn, your attainments in Witchcraft are astonishing. Even my master says I need to learn from you."
"I was wondering if you could teach me a little about controlling Witchcraft?"
Veronica asked in a soft voice.
"No problem. At the end of every month, I go to the Tree Nest to find people to spar with and test my skills."
"Combat training in between periods of secluded cultivation is essential."
"You can come find me at the Tree Nest Arena I frequent to spar and exchange pointers."
"Often, you can only gain a deeper mastery of Witchcraft through combat."
Zorn’s explanation made Veronica’s eyes sparkle.
She said gratefully,
"Then thank you very much, Your Excellency Zorn."
"Besides, I still have many weaknesses when it comes to combat."
As the few of them were talking,
the aura of a Divine Spirit suddenly emerged from the high tower on the Floating Island.
Everyone’s minds focused, and they all turned their gazes to the towering Ancient God Curse Seed Source Pool Tower.
The Ancient God Curse Tower was about to open. It was time to choose a suitable Ancient God Curse.
