Chapter 302: Metamorphosis! Tier 4 Extraordinary Trait

Chapter 302 Metamorphosis! Fourth-Tier Transcendent Trait

After the Fire Element Elder departed.

Li Wei, unable to leave the rock nest, had to change his strategy.

No longer thinking about how to escape, he turned instead to seeking opportunity.

There was no choice; if escape was impossible, one could only accept fate.

He circled within the rock nest but found nothing like firebird eggs.

He did not even know where the Fire Element Elder had gone.

Desolate, with nothing else present.

"The only good news is that the fire spirits here are incredibly abundant."

Li Wei set up a spirit-gathering ritual inside the rock nest.

He discovered the charging speed of the spirit-gathering crystals was faster than ever before.

Inside the volcano, it took half a day to fully charge one spirit-gathering crystal.

Here, it only took two hours to fully charge one spirit-gathering crystal.

Efficiency rose several-fold.

Li Wei unfolded the Four-Direction Star Lock Magic Barrier, carefully extracting and condensing fire spirits.

Although he knew the Four-Direction Star Lock Barrier could not block the gaze of the Firebird Garuda.

But at least after using it, his heart felt more secure.

It could also avoid some unnecessary trouble.

Li Wei stayed inside the rock nest continuously.

All the pure magic crystals on him were used up, yet he saw no sign of the Firebird Garuda returning.

A full day had already passed.

Seeing this, Li Wei simply sat directly on the ground to cultivate.

Absorbing the fire spirits within the spirit-gathering crystals.

As crystal after crystal was drained completely.

Li Wei's fire element body underwent a startling metamorphosis.

After finishing absorbing the third spirit-gathering crystal.

Li Wei's fire element body underwent a qualitative change.

[Flame Lord (Junior)] Junior Fire Immunity, Junior Flame Domain

The fire element body advanced to become the Fourth-Tier Transcendent Trait Junior Flame Lord.

Junior Fire Immunity, ignoring fire damage below the fourth tier.

Junior Flame Domain, after transforming into the Flame Lord, unfold a flame domain with a diameter of thirty meters.

Within the flame domain, fire spell power increases significantly, mana recovery speed increases significantly, spell consumption decreases significantly.

Li Wei activated the transcendent trait, transforming into the Flame Lord.

A flame domain with a diameter of thirty meters expanded around his body.

He could feel all fire elements within thirty meters being used entirely by himself.

He was the lord of this thirty-meter radius, the absolute ruler.

With a movement of his mind, Li Wei absorbed all fire elements within the flame domain.

The flame domain contracted into Li Wei's body, his physique rapidly expanding.

In an instant exceeding ten meters, transforming into a flame giant.

This was the true form of the Flame Lord.

However, compared to the real Fire Element Lord Ragnar, Li Wei was still too small.

Ragnar stood over a hundred meters tall.

Before the Fire Element Lord Ragnar, Li Wei was like a tiny infant.

Li Wei had never thought to compare himself with a sixth-tier Fire Element Lord.

After all, this was merely a fourth-tier transcendent trait.

He believed that as long as he continued to improve, sooner or later he could match the Fire Element Lord.

After Li Wei mastered the power of the Flame Lord.

His strength reached a genuine peak of the fourth tier.

Or even the fifth tier.

However, this was not the limit.

Li Wei moved his mind, attempting to integrate the blue fire and cyan fire he had comprehended into the Flame Lord's power.

Under normal conditions, after transforming into the Flame Lord, the flames were still red, orange-red.

Blue fire and cyan fire were undoubtedly more powerful.

Second transformation.

Li Wei's physique rapidly shrank, from ten meters down to less than five meters.

The flames composing his body turned blue.

Li Wei became a blue Flame Lord.

He could feel the power within his body becoming more violent.

Losing some controllability, gaining more powerful strength.

Li Wei termed this "Potential Release". After the second transformation, potential released, strength became even more powerful.

Already steadily surpassing the fourth tier, reaching the level of the fifth tier.

Li Wei further compressed his own power.

Third transformation, further releasing potential.

Flames all over his body turned cyan, the cyan Flame Lord.

Li Wei's physique shrank to normal human height.

But he looked completely unlike a normal person.

The body composed of cyan fire released high temperatures of thirty thousand degrees outward at all times.

The heat-resistant rocks beneath Li Wei's feet began to smoke.

Showing signs of melting.

In this state, let alone fighting, if an enemy approached him, they would be burned to death by the high temperature.

This was heat beyond what ordinary mortals could endure.

Even among supernatural practitioners, few could withstand temperatures of this caliber.

Metal would melt instantly upon nearing Li Wei.

Third transformation, within the state of the Cyan Flame Lord.

Li Wei's strength had already reached the peak of the Fifth Rank.

Alas, maintaining this state was not easy.

Merely three minutes.

Li Wei felt the strength throughout his body about to be depleted.

He hurriedly dispelled the third transformation.

Under normal circumstances, the Common Flame Lord and Blue Fire Flame Lord states were sufficient.

Only when fighting for life was the Cyan Fire Flame Lord needed.

Acquiring new trump cards and secret weapons increased Li Wei's confidence somewhat.

However, these means were still insufficient to deal with the Fire Bird Garuda.

To a legendary creature, even Fifth Rank Peak power remained equally feeble.

This could only increase Li Wei's chances of survival slightly.

When Li Wei employed Fire Escape at full speed, it was faster than Garuda's ordinary flight.

But if pressed to the limit, he was still no match for Garuda at full flight speed.

Garuda's maximum flight speed could reach seven Mach.

Li Wei's top speed was only three Mach.

In the Flame Lord state, Li Wei's Fire Escape speed would improve further.

The Blue Fire state was faster than the Red Fire state.

The Cyan Fire state was even faster.

Li Wei had not tried it; he did not know how fast he could fly.

But surely, it could exceed seven Mach.

Before Garuda reacted to unleash the power imprisoning Li Wei, he would have a chance to flee.

Li Wei was waiting for such an opportunity.

After restoring to his normal form.

Li Wei found he seemed unafraid of the fire sea's intense heat.

"Is this the effect of Basic Fire Immunity?"

Without transformation, the Basic Fire Immunity effect was somewhat weaker.

But it was enough for Li Wei to adapt to the fire sea's temperature.

Even if he walked into the fire sea, he would not be burned.

At most, he would merely feel the heat.

Li Wei's mind sparked; he seemed to have found a way to escape the rocky nest.

Cross the fire sea using the Flame Lord state.

In the Flame Lord posture, he could rapidly draw fire elements from the surroundings to restore mana.

This was the effect of the Basic Flame Domain.

Provided the surrounding fire elements were sufficient.

Theoretically, he could maintain the Flame Lord posture indefinitely.

Elementalization without time limits.

Given enough time, he could walk out of the fire sea.

Acting without hesitation, Li Wei quickly stowed the Four-Direction Starlock Barrier Stone and walked toward the rocky nest's edge.

Transform into Flame Lord, stepping into the midst of the fire sea.

In the Flame Lord state, walking through the fire sea felt to Li Wei like swimming in a true ocean.

Just after a few steps, Li Wei sensed something approaching rapidly within the fire sea.

As if facing a mighty adversary.
