Chapter 302: Metamorphosis! Tier Four Extraordinary Trait
After the Fire Element Elder left, Li Wei, unable to leave the rocky nest, had no choice but to change his strategy.
He stopped thinking about escape and started looking for opportunities instead.
’There’s no way out, so I can only accept my fate.’
He circled the rocky nest but found no Firebird Eggs or anything of the sort.
He didn’t even know where the Fire Element Elder had gone.
It was empty, utterly bare.
’The only good news is that the Fire Spirit here is incredibly abundant.’
Li Wei set up a Spirit Gathering Ceremony inside the rocky nest.
He discovered the Spirit Gathering Crystals charged at an unprecedented speed.
Inside the volcano, it took half a day to fill one Spirit Gathering Crystal.
Here, it only took two hours to fill one.
The efficiency had increased severalfold.
Li Wei activated the Four-direction Star Lock Magic Barrier, carefully drawing out and condensing the Fire Spirit.
Although he knew the Four-direction Star Lock Barrier couldn’t block the gaze of the Firebird Garuda, using it at least gave him some peace of mind.
It might also prevent some unnecessary trouble.
Li Wei stayed inside the rocky nest the whole time.
He used up all his Pure Magic Crystals, but still saw no sign of the Firebird Garuda’s return.
A full day passed.
Seeing his chance, Li Wei simply sat down on the ground and began to cultivate.
He absorbed the Fire Spirit within the Spirit Gathering Crystals.
As one Spirit Gathering Crystal after another was drained empty, Li Wei’s Fire Elemental Body underwent an astonishing transformation.
After he absorbed the third Spirit Gathering Crystal, his Fire Elemental Body underwent a fundamental transformation.
[Flame Lord (Elementary)]: Basic Level Fire Immunity, Basic Level Flame Domain
His Fire Elemental Body had advanced, becoming the Tier Four Extraordinary Trait: Elementary Flame Lord.
Basic Level Fire Immunity: Ignores all fire damage below Tier Four.
Basic Level Flame Domain: Upon transforming into a Flame Lord, he can deploy a Flame Domain with a thirty-meter diameter.
Within the Flame Domain, the power of his Fire Element Magic and his Mana recovery speed are significantly increased, while the Mana cost of his Magic is significantly reduced.
Li Wei activated his Extraordinary Trait and transformed into the Flame Lord.
A thirty-meter-diameter Flame Domain unfurled around him.
He could feel that all the Fire Elements within thirty meters were his to command.
He was the lord of this thirty-meter radius, its absolute ruler.
With a thought, Li Wei absorbed all the Fire Elements within the Flame Domain.
The Flame Domain contracted into his body, and his form rapidly expanded.
In the blink of an eye, he surpassed ten meters in height, becoming a Flame Giant.
This was the true form of a Flame Lord.
However, compared to the true Fire Elemental Lord, Ragnar, Li Wei was still too small.
Ragnar was over a hundred meters tall.
In front of the Fire Elemental Lord Ragnar, Li Wei was like an infant.
Li Wei had no intention of comparing himself to a Tier Six Fire Elemental Lord, anyway.
This was, after all, only a Tier Four Extraordinary Trait.
’He believed that as long as he kept improving, he would one day be able to rival a Fire Elemental Lord.’
After mastering the Power of the Flame Lord, his own Power reached the level of a true Tier Four Peak.
Perhaps even Tier Five.
However, this was not his limit.
With a thought, Li Wei tried to integrate the Blue Fire and Cyan Fire he had mastered into the Power of the Flame Lord.
Normally, when he transformed into a Flame Lord, his flames were red and orange-red.
Blue Fire and Cyan Fire were undoubtedly more powerful.
He began a second transformation.
Li Wei’s body rapidly shrank, from ten meters to less than five.
The flames that composed his body turned blue.
Li Wei became a blue Flame Lord.
He could feel the Power within his body growing more ferocious.
He sacrificed some control for even greater Power.
Li Wei called this "Potential Release."
After the second transformation—this Potential Release—his Power became even greater.
It had firmly surpassed Tier Four, reaching the Tier Five level.
Li Wei further compressed his Power.
A third transformation, further releasing his potential.
His flames turned cyan, and he became a cyan Flame Lord.
Li Wei’s body shrank to normal human height.
But he looked nothing like a normal person.
His body of Cyan Fire constantly radiated a searing heat of 30,000 degrees.
Even the heat-resistant rocks beneath Li Wei’s feet began to smoke.
They showed signs of melting.
In this state, never mind a fight; enemies would be incinerated just by getting near him.
It was a level of heat that no ordinary person could withstand.
Even among Extraordinary Professionals, few could withstand heat of this magnitude.
Any metal that came near Li Wei would be instantly melted.
In his third transformation, the cyan Flame Lord state, Li Wei’s Power had reached the Tier Five Peak.
Unfortunately, maintaining this state was not easy.
After a mere three minutes, Li Wei felt his Power on the verge of exhaustion.
He quickly deactivated the third transformation.
Under normal circumstances, his standard Flame Lord form and the Blue Fire Flame Lord state were already sufficient.
The cyan Flame Lord was only needed for life-or-death situations.
With this new trump card in his arsenal, Li Wei felt his confidence grow.
However, these methods were still not enough to deal with the Firebird Garuda.
To a Legendary Creature, even the Power of the Tier Five Peak was laughably weak.
This new power only slightly increased his chances of escape.
When Li Wei used Fire Escape at full speed, his speed was even faster than Garuda’s normal flying speed.
But if it really came down to it, he was still no match for a Garuda flying at full power.
A Garuda at full flight speed could reach Mach 7.
Li Wei’s fastest speed was only Mach 3.
In his Flame Lord form, Li Wei’s Fire Escape speed would increase further.
The Blue Fire State was faster than the red fire state.
The Cyan Fire state was faster still.
Li Wei hadn’t tried it, so he didn’t know how fast he could fly.
But he was certain he could exceed Mach 7.
He would have a chance to escape before Garuda could react and suppress his Power.
Li Wei was waiting for such an opportunity.
After returning to his normal form, Li Wei discovered that he no longer seemed to fear the intense heat of the sea of fire.
’Is this the effect of Basic Level Fire Immunity?’
Without transforming, the effect of Basic Level Fire Immunity was weaker.
But it was still enough for him to adapt to the temperature of the fiery sea.
Even if he walked into the sea of fire, he wouldn’t be burned.
At most, it would just feel scorching hot.
With a thought, Li Wei seemed to have found a way to escape the rocky nest.
’I can cross the sea of fire in my Flame Lord form.’
In his Flame Lord form, he could rapidly absorb Fire Elements from the surroundings to restore his Mana.
This was the effect of the Basic Level Flame Domain.
As long as there were enough surrounding Fire Elements, he could theoretically maintain his Flame Lord form indefinitely.
’Elementalization with no time limit.’
Given enough time, he could walk out of the sea of fire.
Deciding to act at once, Li Wei quickly retrieved the Four-sided Star Lock Barrier Stone and walked toward the edge of the rocky nest.
He transformed into the Flame Lord and walked into the sea of fire.
In his Flame Lord form, as Li Wei walked through the sea of fire, he felt as if he were swimming in a real ocean.
He had only taken a few steps when he felt something in the sea of fire rapidly approaching.
He tensed, as if facing a great enemy.
