Chapter 272: Another Year
“Clang…”
The huge stone door slowly closed, emitting a heavy sound.
As the palace door closed, the entire hall seemed to be sealed off, isolated from the outside world.
A rich fire attribute aura permeated the entire hall, and every breath seemed to be filled with flames.
In just a few years, Karl had increased his mental power to 33, almost one point per year, all thanks to the special environment here.
The palace of the God of Fire!
If complete, it would definitely be a fifth-order divine artifact. Even if it’s just a side hall, it’s still a top-tier third-order item.
The key is…
For Karl, who cultivates fire attribute meditation techniques, this kind of palace is worth more than a fourth-order marvel.
With it, even without external help, he is confident that he can raise his cultivation to the third order within a hundred years.
Fighting here is equivalent to having an extra high-quality wizard tower, increasing his strength by at least double.
“Whoosh…”
The flames swirled around him like a tide. The flames, which should have been violent, were as smooth as silk.
Karl sat cross-legged in the center, looking at his data panel.
Source Essence: 36
If all of it were used to increase his constitution, it could approach the second-order limit of fifty points, but it wouldn’t be very meaningful.
The increase in stats wouldn’t add much strength for Karl, who has cultivated the Holy Demon Transformation to the seventh level.
After all, his true strength is far higher than his base stats, and the rules of the world also limit the display of his power.
Increase mental power…
After thinking for a moment, Karl moved his mind, and the Source Essence disappeared. The mental power column jumped.
Mental Power 33 ━ 36.6
The surge in mental power made him groan involuntarily, sparks flashing in his eyes, and the surrounding flames rippled.
“Come out!”
With a thought, a wisp of flame shot out from between his eyebrows, transforming into a flame giant in mid-air, standing tall against the wind.
Compared to before, the current flame giant was even more solid, and the aura on its body was even more powerful.
Karl showed a gratified expression:
“As expected of the secret method of the Secret Society, this natal magic alone surpasses other magics.”
The flame giant is the core of this magic in his hand.
The higher Karl’s cultivation, the stronger the power of this magic, theoretically without a limit.
In addition,
The flame giant resides in his mental sea, cultivating at all times, equivalent to an auxiliary cultivation system.
At critical moments, it can even be used to die in his place, avoiding disasters.
Its power is not bad either.
The flames that can melt everything pounced upwards, and a second-order being would turn to ashes in an instant.
However, if the flame giant is severely injured, Karl will also be injured, which is why he didn’t use it when facing the Black Dragon.
“In another year, I should be able to truly go to the battlefield.”
Looking at the flame giant, Karl thought to himself:
“Time is limited, I can’t cultivate any powerful magic, but I can refine the runes again.”
“With so many Chain Fireball Runes on hand, it’s time to make use of them.”
Of course, the Secret Society’s inheritance also has methods for refining runes. One of the magics is called Blazing Golden Crow.
It is said to come from a firebird that can transform into the sun. The key is that it can be modified using Chain Fireball Runes.
By stacking more than ten Chain Fireball Runes, a second-order Blazing Golden Crow can be refined.
Three elementary Blazing Golden Crow Runes can be upgraded to intermediate.
Similarly.
Three intermediate ones can be upgraded to advanced.
And an advanced Blazing Golden Crow Rune is no less powerful than Karl’s full-strength attack.

One year later.
The Luo Jiao Archipelago.
Streams of light crossed the sky, falling towards the island.
Thousands of miles away from the archipelago, a giant carriage pulled by four heavenly horses was approaching.
Two people sat opposite each other in the carriage.
The twins Job was the only bloodline of Duke Ferdinand left in the Duke’s territory, and he was here to discuss matters on behalf of the Duke.
Job did not transform.
◈◈◈
Instead, he revealed his six-meter-tall demigod body. With his body full of fat, he looked like a giant, obese man.
Beside him was a beautiful woman in a black robe, her eyes dark and deep.
She was the middle follower of the God of Death, Sickle Two.
“I heard that Mevia will also come to participate in the discussions.”
Job narrowed his eyes, his gaze cold:
“It’s been several hundred years since I’ve seen that unpleasant sister. I’m already eager to see her.”
“Yes.” Sickle Two nodded:
“This discussion has received the permission of the gods. That Highness also has followers from our world by her side, and she will also come.”
“Heh…” Job grinned lightly.
The deity’s followers who entered this world this time came from many places, and even from different worlds.
In that case.
The gods of Sickle Two’s world discussed suspending their internal strife and first driving away the deity’s followers from other worlds.
After all, they have experience in cooperation. It wouldn’t be too late to expand their faith after occupying this world.
Such as Dragon Blight, the Creator, and the evil gods from other worlds…
These are the targets they are primarily aiming for.
With this consensus, today’s gathering was held, with deity’s followers from all walks of life gathering to discuss matters.
How to form alliances, how to divide the territories they currently occupy, and how to drive away the followers of other evil gods.
These all need to be discussed.
Duke Ferdinand, as one of the few demigods in this world, had long been recruited by several gods.
Among them, the God of Death promised that if he helped Him occupy this world, he would get a chance to be promoted to a god.
Plus, since he already belonged to the lineage of death, they reached a consensus.
“Sickle Two.”
Job patted his fat belly, smiling:
“Do you have a way to help me kill Mevia?”
“Huh?” Sickle Two raised her head:
“What does Your Highness mean?”
“I have a method to seize the demigod bloodlines in other brothers and sisters to strengthen myself.” Job said:
“If I can get the demigod bloodline from Mevia, I can become a third-order, which will also benefit our cooperation.”
“This…” Sickle Two hesitated, then asked:
“Does that Highness know about this method?”
“Of course she knows!” Job grinned:
“Otherwise, why would we brothers and sisters live so far apart? Soden is even hiding in the Twelve Zodiac Palaces and not showing his face.”
“Then will she attack you?” Sickle Two asked.
“Haha…” Job laughed:
“If she wasn’t afraid of Father, maybe she would, but as long as Father is still around, she wouldn’t dare to do anything to me…”
Before he finished speaking.
A fireball suddenly fell from the sky, directly hitting the carriage with a diameter of more than ten meters, engulfing the two of them.
Then a violent explosion occurred.
“Boom!”
In the flames, a figure roared and rushed out:
“Who?”
“Get out here!”
“Whoosh…”
Dark clouds swept across the sky, and a streak of fire shot out from them, instantly transforming into a hundred-meter-long fire dragon.
The fire dragon roared to the sky, circling its body and rushing in front of Job.
Its dragon claws reached out.
Dragon Claw Hand!
“A Dragon Blight Follower?”
Job’s eyes narrowed:
“A group of things that can’t see the light, you actually dare to show your faces in front of me, you’re really courting death!”
Divine Technique ━ Unstoppable Force!
A bright halo enveloped his body, and he forcibly resisted the incoming dragon claws, slapping out with his palm.
“Swish!”
The space behind him tore open, and Mevia’s figure appeared silently, gently patting out with her hand.
