Chapter 258: The Starry Sky Outside the Door
Alan ended his meditation.
Thinking back to the last scene in the meditation world, I can’t help but laugh.
Bayara led the demon army and tracked them deep into the swamp.
We are currently researching how to crack the teleportation array leading to the secret realm.
The teleportation array activated automatically, and Alan went and returned.
Before Baiyala had time to be happy, he saw a large group of behemoths following him.
Including various elemental behemoths and an 8th-level earth behemoth elder!
Baiyala's expression at that time can only be described as wonderful.
The first second after coming to his senses, he cast a spell to teleport and escape back to the bottomless abyss!
The demons she left behind were trampled into pulp by the Behemoths that rushed over before they could react.
After that, Alan smashed the Abyss Mirror with his own hands, dispelling the ancestor's last concerns.
Next, Alan can continue to stay in the meditation world and enjoy the pleasure of leading the Behemoth clan to sweep across all forces.
However, this cannot change the reality that the beast race is declining and the Behemoth is almost extinct, and it is of no benefit to his practice.
So he ended his meditation and enjoyed a more real happiness - leveling up!
Alan has been secluded in the riverside cabin for four weeks.
Converted into the outside world, it is equivalent to eight hundred and forty days of practice!
The last perfect meditation helped him break through the bottleneck and advance to the early stage of the sixth level!
Physical strength +2!
Agility +3!
Spirit +2!
Natural armor +2!
Current attributes: 61 physique, 57 agility, 61 spirit
Current resistance: Virus level 8 / Electric shock level 7 / Sonic level 7 / Cold level 5
Potential reserve: 38 points
…
The system interface and the added values of various attributes after the upgrade come into view.
Alan couldn't help but take a deep breath!
He originally thought that the Poison Wizard's all attributes would increase by +1 with each level up, which was the best growth potential.
Now I realize that I am always surprised by what I have seen. There is always someone better than you!
The growth potential of the Behemoth is so abnormal!
It turns out that the attributes added during upgrade can be more than 1 point!
After reviewing the growth analysis provided by the system, Allen had a deeper understanding of this issue.
The pure-blooded Sky Behemoth, with its rapid growth in physique and agility, will undoubtedly crush the Poison Demon Wizard.
However, the growth of the Sky Behemoth in spiritual attributes is actually slightly inferior to that of the Poison Demon Wizard.
Out of ten upgrades, perhaps three or so will not improve the spirit attribute, and the remaining seven will only increase the spirit by 1 point.
So, why is Allen's spiritual growth stable at +2?
This is the biggest advantage of blood fusion, taking advantage of each other's strengths and making up for each other's weaknesses!
Alan is not a pure-blooded Behemoth!
The original bloodline of the poisonous wizard was also integrated to make up for the shortcomings of the Sky Behemoth in spiritual growth!
The final result of the perfect fusion of the two bloodlines is that Alan's spiritual growth is as good as his physical growth!
The most eye-catching thing is the agility growth, +3 with each upgrade!
It was for this reason that Alan chose the Sky Behemoth from among the six unique elemental Behemoth bloodlines!
Judging from the results, this was undoubtedly a wise choice and it was what we wanted!
After being promoted to the early stage of level 6, Allen's bone spurs evolved again.
The extension scale becomes longer and the enchantment level is increased to +4. These are all expected normal evolutions.
There is also an unexpected surprise, which comes from the new enchantment effect of Bone Spikes - Alchemy!
…
Alchemical effect: Weapons with this effect can be transformed into any metal material at will.
…
Metal materials include common gold, silver, copper and iron, as well as rare metals with armor-piercing effects.
Alan spread out his left hand, ejected the bone spur, and silently activated the alchemical special effects.
The originally ivory-colored bone spur first turned into iron that emitted a chilling chill, then turned into a gorgeous silver, and finally turned into a deep texture that was black and blue.
There are three variations, corresponding to cold iron, mithril and adamantium materials, which can restrain different types of damage-reducing armor.
Cold iron weapons, effective against demons and goblins.
Refined silver weapons, restrain demons, vampires and beastmen.
Mithril weapons, the hardest weapons in nature, can easily penetrate the armor of various constructs and even golems!
In addition, the damage-reducing armor of the Behemoth can only be penetrated reliably by weapons enchanted with Mithril!
The bone spurs have gained the "alchemy" special effect. From now on, Alan will have a stable means of breaking armor when dealing with monsters with built-in damage-reducing armor, or violent warlocks who are proficient in physical training.
The atavistic form evolved from level 5 to level 6, which is a significant improvement.
The attributes of the sixth-level atavism are enhanced to +12 for physique and spirit, +18 for agility, and +12 for natural armor.
In the behemoth form, Allen's pair of claws evolve into level 4 enchanted weapons, and the electric shock and armor-piercing effects are also enhanced.
Giant Leap and Giant Stomp allow you to jump higher and deal damage in a wider area.
Natural resistance to electric shock and sonic waves has been upgraded to level 7.
The beast armor is superimposed with the three-phase phantom, and the lower limit of defense penetration becomes a level 4 adamantine weapon.
Apart from Alan's own alchemical bone spur, other sixth-level warlocks are unlikely to possess natural weapons of the same level.
Finally, Alan's anti-magic barrier was upgraded to level 4.
Most magic below level 4 has no effect on him.
In Allen's impression, only the "Rakshasa Evil Ghost" or the "Gaiding Celestial Clan" can upgrade the anti-magic barrier to level 4.
The Behemoth clan itself does not have a physique that can resist magic.
The highest level of the Ogre Wizard's anti-magic barrier is level 3.
The fusion of their bloodlines actually upgraded their anti-magic barrier, which was somewhat unexpected.
The bigger surprise comes from the spells that awaken after upgrading.
This time, Alan mastered four new spells.
The 6th-level "Advanced Dispel" is an upgraded version of the 3rd-level "Dispel", which can stably counter hostile spells of no higher than the 6th level.
The 4th ring is "Freedom of Movement". After being blessed, one will be immune to almost all negative effects that hinder movement, such as Grease, Spider Web, and Immobilization .
Even natural limitations like water pressure, ocean currents and wind resistance are included!
Give yourself a "Freedom of Movement" photo and you can fly freely in the storm without being disturbed by the air currents.
5th level: "Control Wind Direction". The caster can change the direction and intensity of air flow in a certain area.
With just a thought, a tornado can be created in a sunny environment, ravaging the sky and the earth.
On the contrary, it can calm the storm in just a few seconds!
The 5th ring "Summon Thunderstorm" transforms magic power into lightning that falls from the sky and continuously bombards the enemy's head.
In outdoor environments, if the weather is bad, with wind and rain, "Summon Thunderstorm" can also absorb free electrical energy in the environment, doubling its power!
Alan immediately thought that "controlling wind direction" could artificially create violent weather, which was suitable for strengthening "summoning thunderstorms".
If we continue to deduce along this line of thought, we will find that when the spellcaster is calling the wind and rain or summoning thunder, in order to get a wider view, it is best for him to fly as well.
In this case, if you bless yourself with "freedom of movement" in advance, you won't have to worry about being blown away by the storm you summoned.
Bad weather with wind, thunder and lightning is often covered with dark clouds.
Alan can hide deep in the clouds to cast spells and avoid attacks from the ground.
Hiding in clouds where thunder and lightning are brewing not only puts one in danger of electric shock and paralysis, but also has one's vision blocked by thick clouds.
Alan doesn't need to worry about these two problems.
He has a high resistance to electric shock, and it is almost impossible for natural lightning to penetrate his resistance.
The Behemoth has its own "fog vision", so its sight will not be blocked by dark clouds.
Sky Roc + Fog Vision + Free Movement + Wind Control + Summon Thunderstorm
Form a perfect tactical system!
Unfortunately, I was locked in a riverside cottage and couldn't go out.
Otherwise, Alan really wanted to find an open area, transform into a roc, control the storm, and call for thunder.
Enjoy the thrill of dominating the sky!
Wait a moment……
Alan's eyes were fixed on the closed door.
His eyes became a little strange.
Think about it carefully, can you really not open this door?
I’m afraid not!
Fengyue said that the doors and windows of the riverside cottage can only be opened by legendary sorcerers or ancestors.
The so-called "legend" refers to a breakthrough in the 9th level of cultivation.
Alan is only in the early stage of level 6 now, and he still has a long way to go.
If whether the seals on doors and windows can be opened depends on one's actual cultivation level, then he really cannot leave the house.
However, there is another possibility.
The seal tests not one's cultivation but one's bloodline!
Alan's cultivation level is not high enough, but the bloodline he has fused is unprecedented and he is the ancestor himself!
Does his situation meet the criteria for opening the door?
This question made Alan excited!
Driven by strong curiosity, I walked to the door.
boom!!
The moment my fingers touched the door handle, the blood in my body seemed to boil!
Alan felt dazed.
When I came to my senses, I was surprised to find...
I was already standing outside the door of the cabin!
What is even more incredible is the environment he is in.
Outside the door of the cottage, there was a vast and empty starry sky!
The silver-gray sky is dotted with countless spots of light, like stars!
The twinkling starlight brings some light to this void, preventing it from being completely dark.
At this moment, Alan was quietly floating in the void.
As far as the eye can see, there is nothing except the galaxy of blood flowing before your eyes, as if you are in the dark universe of your previous life.
The endless emptiness and silence aroused an inexplicable fear in his heart.
He turned around hastily, his mind full of thoughts of escaping back to the cabin.
However, as soon as the body moved, the suspended state was broken.
The whole person couldn't help but spin on the spot!
What's happening?!
Alan was secretly surprised!
This feeling of being out of control of the body is like being in a vacuum without gravity.
However, my breathing is still smooth, so... this is not a vacuum?
The speed of spinning on the spot is getting faster and faster.
It seemed as if a pair of huge hands were pushing him, making him feel dizzy.
Alan wanted desperately to stop, but he didn't know how to fight this strange feeling of weightlessness.
Just when I was getting anxious, something strange happened again.
Just when he wanted to stop, the mysterious force that was driving him to spin disappeared.
At the same time, a completely opposite force was applied to him, producing a braking effect.
The rotation speed gradually slowed down and finally stopped.
Before Alan could even catch his breath, he turned in the opposite direction...
“Stop! Stop now!”
Alan couldn't help but groan!
If you keep turning, I’m really going to vomit!
In response to his intention, the force that drove him to turn instantly switched to the opposite direction and braked again.
All right……
Alan, who had turned into a human spinning top, gradually understood.
This mysterious starry sky is not without gravity.
But the direction of gravity is not fixed.
The gravity direction can be adjusted at will according to personal will.
If that's the case...
Alan decided to do a test.
Just as his body was about to switch from clockwise rotation to counterclockwise rotation, he shouted in his heart:
"Gravity points down to your feet!"
The mysterious starry sky seemed to tremble slightly.
Alan immediately felt his feet sink!
The body falls down involuntarily!
It was like jumping off a tall building.
That’s right! The direction of gravity is indeed determined by the mind!
Alan breathed a sigh of relief.
Endure the panic brought by weightlessness, stay mentally focused, and command gravity to point to the top of your head!
The speed of the body's fall slows down, and the reverse gravity field brings a familiar braking feeling.
After falling to the lowest point, Alan bounced up again, like a human cannonball fired into the sky.
Now, he has figured out the laws of gravity here.
My mind also calmed down and I enjoyed the fun like on a trampoline.
After bouncing up and down for a while, Alan had enough fun and sent out a mental wave.
Command gravity to point to your center of gravity.
The gravitational field in the starry sky, like countless invisible threads, all point to Alan's physical center of gravity.
Alan felt a little suffocated.
The surface of the skin also feels a slight touch and pressure, as if it were wrapped in an invisible film and felt tight.
Fortunately, it wasn’t that strong and I got used to it quickly.
Gravity points to the center of gravity, which means that Alan can fix himself at this coordinate point and not move.
Next, he carefully fine-tuned the direction of gravity.
I slowly turned around and faced the riverside cottage.
The scene before him startled him slightly.
Where are the houses?
A silver-gray, faintly glowing bubble-like object was quietly suspended in front of him.
It is about five meters in diameter and has a smooth surface. Where are the doors and windows?
Wait a moment!
Alan was a little panicked.
Where did I come from just now?
Could it be that this large opaque bubble is the riverside cottage...what it looks like from the outside?
With the mentality of giving it a try, he controlled the direction of gravity and pushed himself to the front of the big bubble.
With trembling fingers, he gently touched the outer wall of the bubble, which felt like mercury.
Before I could exert any force to press, I felt dazed.
Swish!
Alan's figure disappeared out of thin air.
The starry sky returned to silence, and there was no trace of human beings.
…
When he came to, Alan found himself back in the cabin, standing in front of the door.
Open the system page to check its status.
Fortunately, my health remains good!
"call……"
Alan breathed a sigh of relief, finally feeling relieved.
The brief and strange experience just now made him wonder whether it really happened or was just an illusion?
Summoning his courage, Alan grasped the door handle again.
Swish!
After a moment of distraction, he returned to the starry sky.
"Okay...it doesn't seem to be an illusion."
Alan was suspended in the void, muttering to himself.
"So, what the hell is this place?"
In this vast and boundless void, there are only two things that keep him company.
The spherical house behind.
The blood galaxy ahead.
Alan frowned in thought.
What is the origin of the mysterious house?
He didn't know.
I know a little about the story of Blood Galaxy.
The Blood Galaxy is the Styx, the underworld in the warlock world.
In ancient times, the Blood Galaxy was the only final resting place for all the dead souls in the world.
Until the gods rose up and established the kingdom of God, promising that devout believers could return to the kingdom of God after death.
The monopoly of the Blood Galaxy as the underworld was broken.
Later, a war broke out between the ancestors of sorcerers and the gods. A crucial factor was the dispute over the destination of the soul after death.
Only souls that enter the Blood Galaxy can provide nourishment for the warlock's practice.
If people no longer respect their ancestors and instead believe in various gods, their souls after death will enter the kingdom of God and become servants of the gods, and will no longer enter the system of atavism meditation!
This is equivalent to cutting off the source of the bloodline galaxy and destroying the foundation of the warlock's practice!
If the sorcerers do not resist, in the long run, the bloodline galaxy will wither, and the world will only know the gods but not their ancestors.
The warlock tradition will also decline and wither, to be replaced by missionaries of various gods.
In that world, all supernatural powers come from the gods, and humans are just lambs tamed by the gods...
Warlock ancestors, refuse to accept such a future!
Joined forces to challenge the gods.
Their resistance was ultimately successful.
The gods were expelled and sealed, and the church has declined.
The warlocks preserved the bloodline galaxy and once again became the masters of this world, the only extraordinary class.
Unfortunately, the dragon slayer eventually becomes the dragon...
Alan sighed and collected his thoughts.
Just as the Kingdom of God is mostly not on earth.
The bloodline galaxy that is crucial to the warlock world is actually not within this world.
The Blood Galaxy is said to be a river of souls that runs across the starry sky.
From this perspective, Alan guessed that he was currently in the astral realm.
The astral plane is the most special place in all planes of the multiverse.
Similar to the outer space that enveloped all other planets in Alan's previous life, the astral plane also connects all other planes.
Including the main material plane where the warlock world is located.
There are also four elemental planes: water, fire, wind, and earth.
Heaven, hell and the abyss can also be transmitted to each other through the astral realm, a "transit station".
The environment of the astral world is very special.
It is said that creatures living here do not age.
However, there is still a natural lifespan limit.
In the astral world, when two equally young people stand in front of you, you have no idea who is the grandfather and who is the grandson.
The astral plane is a plane where spiritual power is greater than material power.
You can use your own thoughts to change the direction of gravity at will, thereby gaining the ability to fly freely in the starry sky.
It is said that all skills that require the consumption of magic power, including spells and magical weapons, are automatically and instantly released in the astral realm.
Alan tried to perform the "wind-making technique".
As expected, there was no need to chant any spells or make any hand gestures.
As soon as the thought came to mind, a strong wind gushed out from the fingertips.
"Yes, this is the Star Realm!"
Alan muttered to himself.
After figuring out which plane he was in, Alan became more and more curious about Feng Yue!
From the warlock world to the astral plane, there is a dimensional barrier.
Only the plane teleportation spell can cross this barrier.
How powerful must Feng Yue be to be able to freely enter and exit the riverside cottage in the astral world? !
This witch is unfathomable!
Alan felt that... in order to save his own life, it would be best not to offend Fengyue.
Putting aside all distractions, Alan looked at the Blood Galaxy again.
With a mentality that is almost like a pilgrimage.
Alan controlled gravity to point behind him, transformed into a human spacecraft, crossed the starry sky, and flew towards the Blood Galaxy.
The closer you are to the Blood Galaxy, the higher the concentration of magic power.
The spiritual connection between the ancestral spirits in the river and Alan became stronger and stronger.
In this environment, the efficiency of anti-ancestor meditation is definitely higher than that of the riverside cabin!
But it is also more dangerous.
The excessively high concentration of magic power put a huge burden on Alan's body. His blood vessels and muscles were almost burst by the surging tide of magic power!
The countless ancestral spirits in the river also pose a threat to Alan's mental health.
It was like billions of voices were shouting in his ears, madly pouring out their grievances to him.
Alan's brain is overloaded and he is on the verge of a mental breakdown!
"Wild Will" and "Soul Meditation" were activated one after another to help him resist the mental interference from the ancestral spirits in the river.
With his super strong physique and mental attributes, he could only barely support the 7th level soul-soothing meditation method.
So he had to stop here.
If he continued to get closer to the Bloodline Galaxy, he was afraid that he would lose control and become a demon!
I got used to the environment a little bit.
Alan sat down and tried to meditate!
After a moment, I was secretly surprised!
The closer you are to the Blood Galaxy, the higher your cultivation efficiency will be.
The meditation efficiency here is twice that of the riverside cabin.
One day of cultivation is equivalent to sixty days in the outside world!
Of course, the closer you are to the Bloodline Galaxy, the easier it is to turn against your ancestors and become a demon!
Alan must control his greed and know when to stop!
He would not venture near the Bloodline Galaxy again until he was sure that he could withstand greater pressure.
Right here, meditating...
…
Endless void, stars flowing.
In a blink of an eye, Alan had been outside the cabin for two days.
The results of these two days of practice are equivalent to 120 days in the outside world!
In addition to daily meditation, Alan also took advantage of the high concentration of magic energy on the riverside to repeatedly practice various spells and martial arts.
After your magic power is exhausted, sit by the river and meditate for a while, and the dried-up magic power pool will be filled again.
This place is nice, but it's a pity that we can't communicate.
Today is his last day here, and Fengyue is coming to take him away.
Alan didn't want to be discovered by Fengyue, so he went out.
With a trace of reluctance, he turned and left the riverside.
Back in the cabin, he pulled a small .
He picked it up by chance while walking along the river.
The coin-sized shell gave off a slight chill in the palm of my hand.
There are also frost-like patterns on the outer surface.
When Fengyue brought him to the riverside cottage, he mentioned that near the Blood Galaxy, one could occasionally pick up shell-like substances condensed from magic power.
Magic shells are divided into two grades: ordinary and flawless.
The magic power contained is a thousand or even ten thousand times that of magic stones of the same weight!
Similar to magic stones, magic shells also have various properties.
Can be used to enhance spells and magical skills of corresponding attributes.
It is said that even the most common magic shell can increase the power of skills with the same attributes by one level!
Magic Shells are used to enhance skills, similar to spellcasting materials, and are disposable consumables.
I'm afraid few people would be willing to use it in such a luxurious way.
The magic shell in Allen's hand seems to be of ice attribute.
It looks perfect overall, but unfortunately there are still some flaws on the inside.
Alan felt that this should be an ordinary-level "Ice Demon Shell".
Theoretically, it can be exchanged for 1,000 ice magic stones.
However, this is only a reference standard.
Magic Shells are so rare that no one would be willing to exchange them for Magic Stones.
At least not Alan.
This wonderful journey to the astral world left him with wonderful memories.
This exquisite and cute ice magic shell is a good souvenir.
