Chapter 1195: Killing the True Might (Part 1)

The wind dragon had been dissipated by the water element, but Saleen was not afraid. He leapt up, wrapped some mist around his body, and rushed into the cloud.

It was the first time that Saleen had felt the weight of the elements. The water element felt like flowing metal as it entered into Saleen’s body. Saleen did not resist, as the process was merely an exchange between the elements and the elements in his body. Joey had performed it on his body before. What the water element in the clouds was doing was not much different.

Saleen’s body was once again infused. However, he had initiated the infusion.

When Joey had helped Saleen, he had also been level 10. Now, after Saleen advanced to level 10, he finally possessed the ability to control the elements and allowed the water element to take away all of the residue in his body. They had accumulated during his magic cultivation. They were not harmful to his body but were not beneficial for his future advancement.

The surface area of the cloud was enormous. Saleen felt like he was a fish swimming in water. It was extremely liberating. There were no weapon’s spirits or magic arrays left behind by the goddess. It was simply a piece of equipment that had formed into a cloud and bore the weight of the Goddess’ temple.

Saleen plunged into the white cloud. On one hand, it allowed the water element to wash through his body. At the same time, he was moving towards the temple. However, when he arrived at the temple, he discovered that the temple was also made of solidified water element. It was already completely empty inside the temple.

The white cloud temple was originally one entity. Following Saleen’s entrance, the temple had fallen apart, combining with the white clouds. Saleen’s entrance had caused the water element to return to its original appearance.

Saleen was not disappointed. Since the white cloud temple did not contain any weapon’s spirits, he might as well open his first Shenhe. A piece of water current had been refined in the Shenhe. It had now formed a water ball. Lightning patterns flowed along the surface of the ball.

Saleen forcefully broke apart his power of life and used the Constellation Wishing spell to force it into the white cloud. Immediately, another Saleen formed. Apart from being extremely frail, it was a clone of Saleen.

Of course, Saleen had not done it for the sake of creating a weapon’s spirit. He allowed the clone to recombine with his body and absorbed it back. Saleen could feel that the white cloud and his body had become even more compatible.

The water element frantically gushed in. Saleen’s bones became even harder, and some vital areas were tempered into crystal. Saleen could not be bothered to absorb all of it. He allowed it to enter his body at its will.

He controlled the transformation of his bones. The strength of his bones continued to evolve from a crystallized state. Its toughness and hardness increased each time. Saleen began to refine magic patterns on his bones. The magic patterns were simple, but were the results of his understanding of lightning found in the natural world.

There were 206 bones in the human body, and Saleen refined lightning magic patterns on every inch. The process was lengthy. The more magic patterns he refined, the more quickly the water element melded within his bones. Finally, all 15 square kilometers of water element essence entered Saleen’s body.

Two huge crystallized runes flew out from Saleen’s body. Saleen raised his hands to receive them. They had been formed by the solidification of his two territories.

After the water element had re-infused his body, Saleen had forcefully stripped off the two territories. It was much better than letting his teacher help. If Jason had helped him, the things that Saleen would have been able to comprehend would have been reduced by at least half. He would have needed to make up for it in the days to come.

Saleen placed the territory crystals into the Starline Ring. His body was still standing in the void. The pathway to leave was in the distance, but Saleen did not choose to leave immediately and instead stayed to cultivate.

When he opened his mouth, he spat out the water element essence that had been part of the white cloud. Under Saleen’s control, the water element essences became thicker. However, Saleen kept feeling as if there was something missing. He retrieved a scroll and released the Six Elements’ Heavy Water in it to combine with his water element essence.

The Six Elements’ Heavy Water frantically corroded and devoured the water element essence. However, the amount of water element essence was too much. Saleen saw that the Six Elements’ Heavy Water was diluted by the water element essence. He released his Water Flames, mixing them with the thickening cloud.

The white cloud became a dark cloud. The water element had thickness by a significant amount. Saleen retrieved another sealed scroll, releasing the Six Elements’ Heavy Water in it. He did not know what he was doing. Was it divine crafting? He concluded that he did not have the capability. Furthermore, even if it was divine crafting, he could not refine the Six Elements’ Heavy Water. It required way too much time.

The speed at which Saleen had broken down and diluted the Six Elements’ Heavy Water was extremely fast. In about a few hours’ time, all of the scrolls that Saleen carried on him had been used up, and the Six Elements’ Heavy Water had been completely mixed into the water element essence.

The white cloud turned pitch-black. If not for the fact that it was under Saleen’s control, even Saleen’s Elemental Eye would have had no way of seeing through it.

“This is really splendid!” Saleen sighed in appreciation. The dark cloud felt like a part of Saleen’s body. It could be released at will, like breathing, and was not a skill.

In other words, even if Saleen was breathing his last breath, the dark cloud could be manipulated as he wished.

It was an unprecedented fortune. The Goddess had left behind the white cloud, so there must be some other purpose for it. However, after Saleen had used it to dilute the Six Elements’ Heavy Water, any seals that were in the water element essence no longer existed. The Six Elements’ Heavy Water ability to dissolve and corride was too strong, and had broken down the water element essence.

It was impossible for any seals to survive an element being broken down and resolidified. Even if it had been left behind by a god, there was no way to restore it. Saleen unexpectedly discovered that the Six Elements’ Heavy Water possessed that effect. It was a pity that he had used so much, as now there was only some in the Goddess’ Necklace, but Saleen planned to craft the necklace into a magic amplifier, so the Six Elements’ Heavy Water inside it could not be utilized.

Saleen tried to condense magic patterns in the dark cloud, and they formed very quickly. Saleen chanted a mantra softly, and a blue colored current appeared on the magic pattern. Howerever, there was no thundering sound.

Even so, Saleen was already extremely satisfied. This would eventually allow him to comprehend the profound mystery of lightning and form a lightning territory. The benefits were unimaginable. Saleen had originally planned to use 100 years to analyze the lightning territory, and now, that would be shortened to within 10 years.

“O immanent constellation power, flood this space!” Saleen raised his hand, and the level 16 Star Gathering Needle released dazzling starlight in the blink of an eye. The constellation power of countless planes were also instantly triggered and poured inwards. The space began to collapse.

Saleen stepped into the spatial pathway and took flight. The space could probably still conceive other things. Saleen’s sensitive perceptions felt it, so he destroyed the Goddess’ space instead.

Saleen came out of the spatial pathway and entered the Magical Element Tower. He saw that the castle surrounding the Magical Element Tower had collapsed, and thousands of warriors surrounded the magical tower.

The warriors were all dressed with magic armor. They circled the tower half a kilometer away.

Saleen had lost the Puppet World territory, but he could still question the demonic spirits about what had happened. The demonic spirits scrambled to tell Saleen about the explorers who had been killed. After the explorers had died, professionals began to show up, staring at the Magical Element Tower from a distance.

Saleen asked the demonic spirits again. They did not know where they originated from. They had tried to attack the Magical Element Tower, but stopped after the demonic spirits had killed more than a hundred. It was as if they were just waiting for somebody.

Saleen went to the top floor of the magical tower. The demonic spirits swarmed around him, showering Saleen with endless praise. Saleen quickly stopped their flattery. If it continued, the demonic spirits would eventually create power of faith, which would continuously flow to him.

If it was not managed well, after 30 to 50 thousand years, he would be able to ignite a divine fire and achieve a divine persona.

The situation was not particularly good. Saleen looked down and opened his Elemental Eye. Saleen saw someone setting up magic equipment on a mountainside 20 kilometers away. The magic equipment appeared to be an ancient cannon.

The might of an ancient cannon was not equal to a magic cannon, but it could be made without any limitations and had an enormous level of consumption.

The cannon was originally made for guards of honor. Many items that were used for decorative purposes during ancient times become weapons of great might.

Saleen thought the cannon was hilarious. Although the ancient cannon was immensely powerful, it was difficult to aim. It could hit its target within half a kilometer, but depended entirely on luck. Thus, even though the blueprints of ancient cannons had been passed down through generations, no country was willing to manufacture it.

Discounting the fact that it was a waste of national power, it could also only be used on a few the battlefields.

Saleen observed it again. On the mountain top, a person was standing where the accumulated snow was the most shallow and looking at the Magical Element Tower. This person was able to see beyond 25 kilometers?

Saleen immediately became alert. His Elemental Eye could not tell how powerful the person was. Their capability of concealing their energy had already reached the peak condition of level 10.

At a distance of 25 kilometers, even the Thunder Dragon Blaster would not be able to hit him. Saleen thought for a moment and returned to the 16th floor of the magical tower, allowing the water puppet to operate the magical tower. The spatial pathway had already begun to close. The space created by the Goddess was collapsing, and there would be no traces left, except for the wreckage created by the castle.

The Magical Element Tower suddenly soared up to the sky. The warriors surrounding the magical tower panicked. The Magical Element Tower flew over their heads, and Saleen allowed the demonic spirits to release a spray of magic spells.

The irregular attack of hundreds of magic spells killed over a hundred powerful warriors.

Saleen took special note of the middle-aged man on the mountaintop. As expected, the middle-aged man’s gaze was focused on the Magical Element Tower.

He had provoked him for no reason. Saleen felt somewhat helpless. The powerful person could be a True Might. If he left the Magical Element Tower, he would have to be careful.

Since that was the case, it was best to remove the source of the problem. He could not stay inside the magical tower forever. Saleen allowed the water puppet to slow the magical tower down and fly east.
