Still Loved Even In The New World
CHAPTER 182: The Primordial Flame.

In Alterion, if a power found the Treasure Land, they would rise quickly as they gained the key to making a high-level fighter. They would greatly protect the Treasure Land tightly to prevent other powers from entering and taking profits.

But protecting the Treasure Land was not an easy matter. The attraction of the Treasure Land was enormous and made the various other powerful forces in Alterion to do everything possible so that they could master or take the greatest advantage of the place.

It could be said that Treasure Land was a thorny gold that although it looked beautiful, they could injure someone. Each time they are found, they will become an arena of bloodshed from various forces trying to master it.

Treasure Land itself consists of several levels, namely: Levels one to five. At least I've never heard of the sixth level.

As per the level, a tier one Treasure Land would produce Tier one crystals and could help players break through to tier one. Tier two will have Tier one and two crystals, so will the next.

However, it was not easy to obtain those crystals without the help of a powerful force. In Alterion, the Tier concept was a huge limitation for players who could barely get through. All one wanted to obtain a Tier one crystal was zero, and those Zeros needed to defeat a Tier one monster in Treasure Land to retrieve its crystal, imagining how difficult it was.

For that, they usually ask for help from stronger forces or join a large guild so they can get crystals. Only then would they be able to obtain the Inheritance crystal.

In addition, Crystals also cannot be obtained from all monsters. The chances of monsters possessing Inheritance crystals were only 1:1,000,000 which was extremely rare. Maybe I got it in one kill because of my good luck.

Of course, there were other ways to obtain the inheritance to ascend the Tier besides killing monsters in the Treasure Land, namely they needed to kill monsters with thick ancient blood such as: Phoenix, Dragon, Piton, etc, and another monster that had ancient blood then integrated the blood essence of that ferocious beast into its own body.

Although the possibility of obtaining the inheritance from this way was much greater and almost certainly obtaining the inheritance, but it would be much more dangerous and more difficult.

Such ancient beings were very few in number and very united, so that if one member was killed, then the other family would go after the killer. Moreover, such an ancient race was extremely powerful and difficult to kill.

Me?!. Of course they can kill me, but can they...

Moreover, players who integrated the blood of ancient beasts could only drop an inheritance when they were already at Tier four or above.

This was because their humanity would be replaced by true beasts the moment they reached Tier four. Just like the Phoenixes and dragons that at birth they were at Tier four. Thus, the blood of a savage beast would be fully active the moment players reached Tier four.

After retrieving all the remaining spoils including the monster corpses, I went back around the forest. This time I changed the map settings to show all the animals in this forest. Each animal in this forest has a different color depending on its strength.

White indicates zero, Tier one yellow, Tier two blue, Tier three purple, and red above Tier three. If I focus my concentration to one of the points, then the appearance, data, and estimation of the monster's power will come to my mind.

After changing the map settings, I knew that this place was a second-rate heritage land because the strongest monsters I encountered from the beginning to the present were only at Tier two. They live in the middle of the forest.

I kept walking through the woods. As I expected, this place has a lot of useful medicinal herbs. It's not all high-level, but they all have certain functions that I can use. I've harvested over a hundred kinds of medicinal plants in this place.

It won't be enough for me to search for medicinal plants all over the place in such a short period of time. So, I left the forest and headed straight for the volcano without looking anymore. I just sent the coordinates of this place to the Moon Palace and connected this place with the Moon Palace's spatial gate so that I could come and go as I pleased.

And since this place has good land for medicinal cultivation, I also want to make this place a medicinal plantation for me. For Inheritance crystals, their use was too limited at this time. Maybe if any of my friends or family wanted to ascend to tier two, I would help them find the Inheritance crystal in this place.

The road to the volcano is quite far. Even when I fly with Mach three, I need to take an hour to get there. I did not use a faster speed because I wanted to see the geographical state in this place.

I stopped in midair and stared at the huge mountain that stood gallantly. The top of the mountain pierced through the clouds in the sky and continued to spew dust smoke. This is the biggest mountain I have ever seen. No mountain on earth can match its size.

The entire mountain was black with some formidable plants growing. I continued flying to the top of the mountain and saw the crater at its peak. The hot red magma bubbled at its base.

Although the temperature in the crater of this volcano is very hot, but it is not without life. There are many types of plants that grow on the walls of the crater. They are a type of medicinal plant that requires a high temperature to grow and usually the plant is very valuable.

But I ignored all that and focused my eyes on the sea of magma in the middle of the crater.

This crater is very wide and the temperature is very high. In the middle of the crater, there is an island surrounded by a sea of magma boiling with high temperatures. A black red flame was burning arrogantly in the middle of the island. Beneath him was a red crystal that sustained him. I was sure that the fire was the core of the flame I was looking for.

From such a far distance, I could feel the terrifying temperature of that flame core that even gave me goosebumps. A flame with such a temperature could burn Tier five to ashes if they touched it.

But since I'm a Phoenix, I'm not too afraid of it. I flew close to the flame. The closer it got, the flame aura grew denser and my body began to be enveloped by the black red flames.

This time I did not use the Phoenix flames to protect my body, but I preferred to absorb the aura of the flames coming at me and use them to strengthen my own Phoenix flame. That way, the energy I used almost did not decrease. But don't think that this is easy. It's like pouring boiling water into the body until it blisters. If it wasn't for my high heat resistance, maybe my skin would have burned even though it was protected by armor.

Every pore of my skin was like it was burning by the flow of heat that permeated my entire body to the veins, making my entire skin become flushed like a tomato.

The silver white wings behind me also started to be stained by the black red color and looked extremely evil. When I wanted to land on the island, a huge pressure hit me until I fell from a height. I landed on a rock that was hard and hot like a frying pan.

This, is this a ban?!. Prohibited rules for flying like this are very common in special places. For example, no one can fly at Moon Palace. If anyone were to break, they would be hit by the immense pressure and force them to fall.

I didn't expect that there was such a ban in this place. Whether this ban happens naturally or artificially, I don't know. Clearly, right now I can only walk to where the core of the flame is.

As I was about to walk, suddenly from the bottom of the magma sea jumped a creature that looked like a lizard with rough red scales.

The tail behind me swung and pierced the monster's throat. It was only a Tier two monster, so it was easy for me to kill it.

The closer to the flame core, the higher the temperature my body receives. Some parts of my skin have started to blister and peel.

The feeling of heat and soreness in the skin is really very terrible. I was more amazed at the crystal that supported the fire. With such a high temperature the buffer crystal was still sturdy without the slightest trace of burning.

The distance between me and the flame core was only about two hundred meters apart. A red golden lotus appeared above my head. As the lotus slowly opened, the transparent shadow figure sitting on top of the lotus also opened its eyes. The red-golden-eye pupil stared at the core of the flame closely and looked solemn.

The pressure on my body instantly reduced a lot.

Here's time...

The shadow of Moon Phoenix with its pure white fur and extremely beautiful silver-gold pattern appeared behind me, overlapping with the golden lotus. The Phoenix's shadow was extremely large with a span of both wings over two hundred meters and a tail length of over a hundred meters.

The entire body of the Phoenix bird was surrounded by a silver-white flame with a flash of golden lightning around it.

Weakkk...!

The shadow of the Phoenix bird chanted into the sky and echoed a loud voice. His mouth opened to devour the black red flame.

How could an extremely arrogant flame be able to give up so easily to swallow?!. The silver Phoenix bird instantly burned with a black-red flame from the head to the rest of the body.

The Phoenix bird screamed in pain. The pain was also transmitted to my body, so I also felt the pain of burning.

Hair is the most flammable part of the body. Right now, my head is probably bald without hair. But there was no time to notice such a trivial thing. The pain in my body was like tearing my heart and even my mind into a complete mess.

The huge phoenix calmed down and instantly swallowed the black red flames. The inside of the body is burned by very hot and painful lava.

Sally:"This is the time... Come.. Tier four!"

Little by little, parts of my skin started to burn and peel. The flesh and blood hissed due to the hot temperature. The aroma of roasted meat filled the entire crater, defeating the strong scent of sulfur.

Tier four was different from the previous Tier. Tier four was a pure leap of strength. At Tier four, players not only had to learn an inheritance skill, but also had to form a Mana Body.

Depletes all mana in the body and converts all mana in the body into Ether. Ether is the most basic structure.

By absorbing Ether and turning all living cells in the body into Ether, the human body will be completely replaced by mana. The more living cells replaced by Ether, the purer the body will be.

However, usually most humans can only replace 60% of living cells into Ether. And it will be the Epic Mana Body. If they could be over sixty percent, then they would turn into a Legendary Mana Body.

For me it's different. The Phoenix died to ashes and was able to rise again from its ashes. I just destroyed the entire Avatar's living cell and replaced it with Ether.

Provided that my soul in the soul lotus is still intact, the re-establishment of the Avatar is not a problem. That's why I've never been afraid to destroy the Avatar.

Every inch of my body started burning. The blood that would overflow instantly boiled and evaporated into nothingness. The longer, the pain in my body began to decrease as his nerves had started to burn.

I could see my whole body was terrible. After the flesh burned, the internal organs looked and started to fall apart. A moment later, the fragile internal organs also started burning.

That hissing and burning sound of blood and flesh really gave me goosebumps. This was the first time I had seen such a cruel sight in my own body. In Alterion, when the Avatar was destroyed to form the Mana Body, I only saw that the Avatar's body became a beautiful colorful light particle. But this...

I strengthened my heart and kept watching. Right now the pain that was tearing apart the soul had already disappeared.

The moment the entire body had been burned to ashes, only ten drops of red golden blood with silver lines were still floating in the pile of ashes.

The blood began to coalesce into one larger drop and began to boil like water in a hot pot. The pain that had subsided instantly exploded in my soul. This pain was nearly ten times that of the previous pain. Hold it, I have to hold on... If until my consciousness falls into sleep at this time, then maybe my body will fail to form.

The floating blood began to fuse the three colors on top of it and turned the drops of blood into bright red with golden and silver light appearing alternately. It looks weird but it's also beautiful.

The boiling blood started to calm down and float silently in the air. Ether in the air was absorbed by the droplets of blood crazily. Like a seed that was watered and began to sprout, the droplets of blood began to spread and branch off like very complicated roots. No, it's not a root, but it's a blood vessel.

Blood vessels begin to form and become more and more complicated and more complicated. After the blood vessels, the flesh bones and organs begin to re-form. The pain that almost disappeared back again slowly as his nerves also began to re-form.

The pain is very painful and disappears with time. White and smooth skin like porcelain began to envelop the red flesh. Bald hair also begins to grow very quickly until it spreads all over the floor.

The somewhat frightening sight ended and a small girl who was blending in while closing her eyes amidst the dried blood and burning ashes appeared before my eyes.

The skin is very white and smooth without blemishes like porcelain. Soft pink lips are like the newly blooming petals of a cherry flower. Long and pliable eyelashes like sharp tips of weeds, as if they can wave when exposed to the breeze.

His eyebrows were sharp and soft like the leaves of a tree. To my surprise, the ears of the figure became longer and slender, just like the ears of the elves in Alterion.

I began to think whether the blood of the elves was also perfectly integrated and not swallowed by the blood of the Phoenix??. Well, maybe it's like that. And as for human blood, I can't confirm it because human blood doesn't have any special characteristics.

After the body was perfectly formed, the soul lotus began to slowly close and disappeared, leaving only a lonely body and the shadow of the huge Phoenix that was slowly swallowing the black red flames, making the Phoenix flame even hotter and more terrifying.

When I opened my eyes, I started to see my new body. Very light and strong. The seal I formed in the beginning no longer exists because I don't need it. The power of Tier four was already able to hold all the mana in my body, but I still could not use the mana in my body excessively. Otherwise, the mana vessel in my body would also suffer certain damage.

After all, the mana in my body was as strong as Tier five, so my body was still far enough away to be able to hold everything.

I stood up and started to look at my body thoroughly. Woaahhh. This skin is really smooth and soft... It's fun to touch.

Ahh....!

When I touched my ears, I was surprised because my ears were so sensitive. I felt amused when I touched it. Maybe this is because it's newly formed, so the nerves are still very sensitive.

Ehemm...

Let's stop admiring ourselves and start wearing clothes. After putting on the clothes, I saw the shadow of the Phoenix still absorbing that black red flame.

It's very difficult to digest. That black red flame still wanted to fight back and tried to burn the Phoenix. But the resistance is getting weaker and sooner or later it will be undigested.

No matter how much time passed, the fire was finally completely destroyed. Data from that fire also appeared in my head.
