BXBX NOVEL Chapter 235: Comprehending Arcane Law!
As for himself? He would observe the situation for a while.
Why not abandon the mission altogether? For one, he was still eager to earn Valor Contribution Points. Additionally, the fragment of the Blood Sacrifice Swallowing God Array he had intercepted seemed to have the potential for improvement.
"Could adding points eventually repair or even optimize this array?" Sterl\'s eyes gleamed with a sinister light.
It was well-known that Array Masters were incredibly rare! In Sterl\'s understanding, the Blood Cult had always been a struggling group, particularly in the Divine Mountain Empire, where they were perpetually hunted and never managed to gain any foothold.
Although he wasn\'t sure about the Blood Cult\'s strength in the Principality of Florence, it was likely not much better.
Given his skill, Gate of Hell, Sterl knew that the connection between a layer of Hell and the main world was purely coincidental.
Therefore, if the Archduke of Blood wanted to develop his cult in the main world, he would spare no effort in nurturing every group, without favoritism.
This was because, after one connection to the main world, this god-level demon might never have another chance to extend his influence here.
Every cult branch had to be meticulously maintained.
So, based on the Blood Cult\'s situation in the Divine Mountain Empire, the cult\'s power across the entire Vastor continent wouldn\'t be very strong.
Sterl estimated that even if the Blood Cult in the Principality of Florence devoted all their elite forces to serve this god-level demon, they might still lack a professional Array Master.
With Sterl\'s skill and the potential to add points, he could possibly fully grasp the Blood Sacrifice Swallowing God Array.
He even had some confidence in turning the Blood Cult\'s array against them, making it his own.
Swallowing the resources planned by an entire cult single-handedly—wouldn\'t that make him soar?
Of course, all this was predicated on the Blood Cult in the Principality of Florence actually plotting something...
Though excited, Sterl quickly dispelled any distracting thoughts and refocused. He had important matters to attend to.
At this moment, Sterl took out the Chaos Cube, a small box radiating with a peculiar, seven-colored light.
Without hesitation, he retrieved three items: a Legendary Crystal: Ancient Prayer, a Legendary Crystal: Radiant Glow, and a Fate Token.
Sterl swiftly tossed the two crystals into the Chaos Cube and activated its transformation function. Instantly, the cube began to glow and hum like an unstable furnace.
Sterl couldn\'t possibly wait for the Chaos Cube to complete its random transformation, so he quickly tossed in the Fate Token.
Accompanied by a strange brilliance, a long list of possible outcomes appeared before him, showcasing the various potential fusions of the two Legendary Crystals.
Some results indicated a failure, reducing the crystals to mere powder, while others showed great success, merging the two crystals into one, effectively creating a 2-in-1 Legendary Crystal.
This new crystal would grant the user both abilities, with reduced consumption and the capacity to activate both abilities simultaneously.
Sterl was momentarily tempted by the idea, but he made a decisive choice—Fusion Result: [Legendary Crystal: Ancient Memory].
The Chaos Cube shook violently before gradually coming to a halt, finally producing a blue crystal.
"Perfect, you\'re the one," Sterl said, without hesitation, choosing to allocate points into and absorb the new Legendary Crystal. Instantly, his panel displayed a new legendary ability—
Ancient Memory!
The Ancient Memory ability would grant the user the arcane knowledge and spellcasting techniques of ancient sages from various races.
This would enhance the power of all spells, reduce their consumption, and provide at least one qualitative change to most spells during the duration of Ancient Memory.
For example, Sterl\'s Ignition Flame would gain the "Omen of Death" effect after transformation, causing any unit hit to suffer an additional 30% damage—an effect that was rare in Sterl\'s skill set.
His Celestial Stars would gain dual traits: "Rebuild the World" and "Destruction." "Rebuild the World" would grant allies significant shield and health regeneration when Celestial Stars struck, while "Destruction" would instantly kill any unit hit if the damage exceeded 70% of their life force (limited to non-demigod entities).
Sterl sensed that most of his skills would significantly improve during Ancient Memory\'s active period. However, a few skills, like Stardust and Life Ignite, would not undergo qualitative changes.
Nevertheless, the utility of Ancient Memory was undeniable!
But most importantly—
"This legendary ability enhances other skills by imparting special arcane principles and techniques to me, which aligns perfectly with the essence of Arcane. With it, comprehending Arcane Law is a sure thing!"
Filled with joy, Sterl felt that his first platinum-tier skill was about to be unlocked. He then meditated for over ten minutes, regulating his breathing, and swiftly retrieved a crystal from his small world, crushing it.
This was the device he had previously exchanged for, allowing his consciousness to be transmitted to the "Arcane World."
Sterl felt a burst of vibrant, multicolored light before finding himself in a semi-transparent, spectral form, floating above an extraordinarily magnificent and resplendent world!
Everywhere, he could see the harmonious and orderly flow of seven-colored magical energies. Even the inherently corrosive dark attribute forces were stable and gentle, forming structures that resembled land.
Just by lightly "breathing" with his consciousness, Sterl could sense that every elemental force contained fragments of Arcane knowledge.
The Arcane World was an incredibly extraordinary plane. Countless Arcane Masters had dedicated their entire lives to constructing a world composed of Arcane power and Arcane knowledge!
At this moment, Sterl felt that as he comprehended his surroundings, he was gaining new insights into the spells he had already mastered. His skill proficiency skyrocketed!
Skills like Ignition Flame and Celestial Stars broke through to master-level proficiency at an astonishing speed! And the proficiency continued to soar!
Sterl could also feel the rules of Arcane resonating in his mind. Unable to resist, he activated his legendary ability, Ancient Memory.
The ancient sages\' research on spells and the vast knowledge of countless scholars within this plane began to merge and transform. Sterl once again grasped that elusive feeling of transforming a legendary ability into Law Power…
But suddenly, everything came to an abrupt halt!
Sterl\'s comprehension progress had barely reached about 10% when he was abruptly expelled from the Arcane World.
Opening his eyes, he found himself back in the ship\'s cabin, discovering that his point-allocation ability had already cooled down.
Indeed, what seemed like mere moments had actually been an entire day.
"Damn!"
"Even though Ancient Memory accelerated my comprehension efficiency by countless times,"
"it seems I\'ll need at least nine more Arcane World entry tickets..."
"Hmm?"
Sterl was somewhat disappointed but not too disheartened. However, another unexpected situation arose.
He hadn\'t noticed it immediately upon returning to his body, but now he felt a strange sense of fullness and pain.
It originated from Sterl\'s soul!
As his consciousness gradually and perfectly merged with his physical body, he finally realized what had happened!
In the Arcane World, Arcane Masters used elemental forces to carry their Arcane knowledge, ultimately creating the rule power known as "Arcane."
Yes, Arcane Law Power itself existed, just like any other rule power.
And a demigod comprehends these natural rules, transforming them into a power they can wield—Law Power!
Returning to Sterl.
While the efficiency of elemental forces in carrying Arcane knowledge and rules was commendable, there was nothing in the world that could compare to Sterl\'s innate talent—the efficiency of his Arcane Soul in carrying Arcane knowledge and rules!
Consequently, Sterl\'s soul had already inscribed an immense amount of Arcane knowledge and rules. He only needed to close his eyes for a moment to continue comprehending the Law!
Sterl even estimated that the knowledge and rules stored in his soul were sufficient to push the Arcane Law to its consummate level!
In other words, with just an ordinary Law Comprehension Ticket, it would be equivalent to purchasing a guaranteed Law Comprehension Ticket from the special shop after the Trial of the Brave!
He had hit the jackpot.
"By this calculation, if I exchange about ten to twenty Comprehension Tickets, I might even push the Arcane Law to its consummate level!?"
Sterl\'s voice was tinged with excitement.
He quickly assumed a cross-legged position, closed his eyes, and began comprehending various Arcane rules. Utilizing Ancient Memory, he gradually pushed this legendary ability towards Law.
Sterl felt that the world within his mental domain was becoming increasingly harmonious and consistent with the rules of Arcane.
Time flew by...
The Rainbow Ship took a little over a day to reach the Principality of Florence.
When Sterl opened his eyes again, his point-allocation ability had cooled down once more. He casually summoned a Fate Token.
Only then did he notice that the legendary figures accompanying him on the mission were waiting respectfully outside his cabin.
"Leader, you\'ve finally finished your cultivation. Can we officially start the mission now?"
These legendary players wore expressions of having narrowly escaped death. They had privately discussed how the cabin had somehow developed a hole, killing three mid-level legends.
They had reached a conclusion: not even a demigod could have caused such a breach in the cabin!
This leader was extremely extraordinary!
Unfathomable!
To stay alive, they had to obediently follow his orders!
Even though they had successfully arrived in the Principality of Florence, the legends were still terrified, knowing they would have to take the Rainbow Ship back to the Hall of Valor later on!
This leader still had the potential to stir up trouble and commit slaughter!
