Chapter 222 - Upgrades
In a particular area of the Time Space, a wide collection of resplendent blue pills was swirling around Noah’s position as he constantly pulled in the many medicinal fruits from the wide fields and into the silver cauldron where they were quickly refined into multiple pills.
He found himself getting a profound feeling as he did the simple thing of providing a ridiculous amount of mana to keep the [Forge of Silver Flame] active and continuing this process.
The beasts that had begun to near his position with shining eyes grabbed his attention as he sent a command for them to prepare for yet another breakthrough, some of the recently made pills floating around him going towards them in droves.
Their effectiveness was more than quadrupled, meaning that it would not be an issue for the beasts that had already been absorbing the [Ice Phoenix Fruits] and [Spirit of the Arctic] to experience their breakthroughs after this.
The Emperor Penguin was ecstatic as it grabbed the glowing pill with its flippers and looked at it carefully before popping it into its mouth. A similar scene replayed with all the other beasts as you could see a flying spider, an arctic fox, a polar bear, and many others swallow the glowing pills. It was followed by a burst of blue light as essence began to converge all around them, their advance into the next rank imminent.
After a significant amount of blue and white shining pills had been refined with the beasts having already started absorbing them, Noah stopped supplying mana to the {Forge of Silver Flame} as the transparent figure of the cauldron that seemed to be getting more and more solid as he continued to use the skill return as a tattoo on the back of his hand.
He monitored the progress of the beasts as he got ready to start upgrades of his own, wanting to push his strength even further before he went on the dangerous journey in the grave of an extremely powerful cultivator.
He had many Phantasmal ranked skills that had reached max proficiency and were ready for a combination, but he found they were not compatible. There were two more Phantasmal skills that he had been raising which had compatibility that would allow him to obtain a skill of the Phantasmal+ level that he could then combine to obtain an even more powerful one at the TRANSCENDENT level, granting him more than enough confidence as he moved forward to the next stage.
He began with the combination of his first Phantasmal ranked skill that he used to dominate the opponents in the Lost World, the combination of [The Dictatorial Kaiju- Hydra] and [Unbreakable Golden Body]. A spectacular creation was produced as his first Phantasmal+ ranked skill.
[The Dictatorial Kaiju- Hydra] + [Unbreakable Golden Body ] :: [Kaiju of the Deep- A terrible beast that devoured its enemies whole. It held unparalleled defense with golden scales that reflected the damage dealt towards it, while also holding maddening offensive skills from the three heads that controlled different elements.]
The combination had made his kaiju form extremely dense and strong, giving his enlarged body a golden sheen as he looked similar to a golden three-headed Hydra. The next combination was something just as spectacular, the addition of [Sundering Flames] with the other skills he found to be compatible with, [Lava Giant].
[Lava Giant] + [Sundering Flames] :: [Ancient Hellfire Titan- A giant long forgotten through the dredges of time. It controls hellish flames that only extinguish from its own commands, allowing it to burn its enemies until they turned to ash.]
The combination of two spectacular skills that he carefully chose so that he would be able to combine their products once more in the near future was complete. Rumbling resounded out as he continued to move, making his training targets the Calamities of the Sea and Barbatos who had already begun collecting the pills he made and popping them in her mouth like candy. Noah would now put his focus on training these new skills until they could be combined once more, trying to achieve his goal of a TRANSCENDENT skill in the span of a few days, or a week at most.
This training continued in the time space for days, with Noah sensing the beasts in the Spiritual Land advancing to the Phantasmal rank every now and then throughout. The first one to do this was of course the Emperor Penguin that had arrogance ingrained into its bones.
RAA!
A piercing cry rang out from it when it broke through, an aura of light erupting from it as it floated magnificently in the air
"Oh, you’ve become more powerful little penguin? Come take my place as I go relax a bit."
Its grandeur was cut short as the moment it finished its breakthrough, it was pulled into the fray of fighting against Noah who continued to endlessly throw out powerful attacks against the Calamities of the Sea and Barbatos.
He was using the newly advanced [Ancient Hellfire Titan] and [Kaiju of the Deep] against them, his body changing into that of a flaming giant one day and a tremendously powerful Hydra with golden scales the next day. He actually matched the attacks of the Kraken and the other four Calamities without being pummeled to oblivion as he continued to use his endless pool of mana to heal and regenerate within seconds whenever his extremely tight defenses were breached.
The damage that the Calamities and Barbatos took continued to acc.u.mulate over time though, giving Noah an upper hand as more time passed. This was where the recently advancing beasts from the Spiritual Land came in as they jumped into the fray the moment they completed their breakthrough into the Phantasmal rank.
Multiple days passed in the Time Space that Noah continued to supply mana to, which allowed an equivalent of one day to pass in the outside world. This rigorous training regiment continued until more than five beasts had passed through the Mythical rank and made their way to the PHANTASMAL rank, making it possible for the upgrade of the Spiritual Land yet again.
Noah also finished his training as he was able to achieve maxing the proficiency of the recently combined [Kaiju of the Deep] and [Ancient Hellfire Titan] after more than a week of nonstop usage in the Time Space. It was arduous and somewhat boring at times, but it allowed him to look forward to the combination of a TRANSCENDENT ranked skill at the same time as the upgrade of the Frozen Plateau Spiritual Land to the 5th rank!
