Chapter 559: The Power of the Sage

When Luoning's army occupied Bakesi City and threatened the capital of the Tricia Kingdom, the situation on the other two fronts, aside from the eastern front, was not as smooth as imagined.

When it comes down to it, it is because people's hearts are not united; everyone harbors their own hidden agendas, making progress relatively slow.

Although there are nobles on the front lines, the nobles also have their own little schemes.

However, hindered by Luoning's powerful influence and Ruidar's terrifying strength, the command of the troops is firmly held in Ruidar's hands; those below can only do as they are told, which is a clear difference from Yiben and Waerjisi.

Of course, the lack of unity is only one factor; the lack of powerful Transcendental beings on the battlefields they are responsible for is also a key factor.

Although Luoning established the War Council, he only promised to help when troublesome figures appeared on their battlefields, such as Blazing Sun Knights or Great Mages; under other circumstances, Luoning would not easily intervene.

Therefore, under the influence of these factors, the progress of these two fronts is not as good as the front and eastern fronts.

Fortunately, they do not have any thoughts of "contending for the world," otherwise, seeing Luoning about to strike at Dragon City and the navy also encircling from the south, they might have turned their guns around and come up with some new tricks.

The intelligence sent by Hameng soon reached Luoning's hands.

Since Yan Yi is not in a hurry, waiting for him to walk right into the trap, Luoning simply isn't in a hurry either, throwing himself wholeheartedly into cultivation.

The entire territory ushered in a brief period of peace.

Soon, four months passed in a flash; cold air swept through Wubei Territory, and even with the morning sun, ordinary people still felt cold and did not want to crawl out from under their covers.

"Why not sleep a little longer?"

Blanche asked while rubbing her eyes, huddled under the covers, "There isn't anything urgent right now, is there?"

Since becoming a mother, the immaturity on Blanche's face has faded quite a bit, replaced by a more mature aura.

And in these two years, as the Duchess, she has participated in many matters within the territory with Luoning's tacit approval, having long since become an indispensable management figure.

Luoning kissed her lightly, threw on a coat, and got up: "You keep sleeping, I'm going out for something."

Blanche sat up and stretched; even after giving birth, her beautiful figure had not changed at all.

"Forget it, I'll get up too; I have an appointment with Ailin today to go to the academy to guide a group of Primary Mages."

She looked at Luoning with a smile: "Do you want to go together? You haven't seen Ailin in Along time, have you?"

Luoning shrugged, "I saw her a few days ago when the territory's Wolf Knight Squad was expanded; the identities of army mage and combat magic instructor at the academy suit her very well."

Today's Ailin is already a twenty-year-old, graceful young woman, and her strength has reached the level of a Level 4 Great Mage; she is considered a celebrity in both the Magic Academy and the Wubei Territory's Knight Order.

Blanche rolled her eyes, "Did you steal a taste?"

Luoning poked her forehead, "I think you'd better get some sleep!"

After saying this, he pushed open the window and flew toward the sea.

When he broke through to become a Legendary in Mist City last time, he specifically chose a more remote place, but the powerful fluctuations still attracted the attention of Ruidar and Suofeiya.

This time, breaking through to become a Sage, the commotion will surely be even greater.

To avoid affecting the people in the territory, Luoning decided to do it over the vast sea.

Before long, he was standing above the vast sea; there were no islands below, nor any merchant ships.

He looked to the east; the end of this direction should be Suofeiya's homeland, the Xinyue Continent.

"Begin breakthrough."

Luoning withdrew his gaze and summoned the Attribute Panel; although the 2775 Attribute Points accumulated recently were not many, they were enough to complete the breakthrough.

As he consumed 2673 Attribute Points, the progress of his Legendary Archmage level reached perfection.

Hum—

At this moment, the heavens and earth resonated together, and the sea below suddenly surged with huge waves, as if creating momentum for what was about to come!

Luoning looked inward; the spirit-binding chains in his Mana Space and Qi Sea had disappeared; this is the mark of breaking through from Legendary to Sage.

Just at this moment, he suddenly felt a flash of inspiration and couldn't help but look up at the sky.

The space rippled and surged, then tore open a huge gap.

Luoning saw no scenery, nor any people or objects, only a chaotic ocean of seven colors.

"Element Ocean, World Power!"

In the dark, Luoning knew the name of the ocean.

Elemental Power is the supernatural energy formed by detaching from the ocean; the gestation of the plane heart and even the existence of this world are all reliant upon it.

These flowing colors in the Element Ocean are the "World Power" above Elemental Power, which only a Sage is qualified to mobilize and use.

Poof—

While Luoning was astonished, a flame suddenly ignited in his Qi Sea and Mana Space.

Although this flame was small, it was exceptionally bright, and Luoning could not help but feel waves of warmth while contemplating it.

This is the Heart Fire.

Luoning's method of breakthrough allowed him to possess two clusters of Heart Fire simultaneously.

And at this moment, two vast forces descended from the Element Ocean.

This power was ethereal, yet exceptionally solemn and heavy.

At this moment, endless Flame Storms surged in the surrounding space!

And Luoning also felt his physical body, Mental Power, and soul being continuously strengthened by it!

His physical body was shedding its Extreme Origin Body at a rapid speed, transforming into a Sage Body!

With a Sage Body, natural death requires a thousand years; the strength of the physical body can be imagined.

After Along time, this strengthening slowly stopped, and everything around gradually returned to calm.

Luoning slowly opened his eyes, a flash of brilliance causing the sea and sky to change color.

"This is the power of a Sage!"

While exclaiming, he raised a fist and smashed it toward the sea surface.

It was just an ordinary Intermediate Battle Technique, 'Fire Fist Bombardment', but his Battle Qi was mixed with World Power; with one punch, the sea surface below was dented by more than ten meters, and when it recovered, it stirred up hundred-meter-high waves!

"So strong!" Luoning couldn't help but exclaim.

Becoming a Legendary from a Radiant is a qualitative change, and going from Legendary to Sage is even more so.

After all, a Legendary still uses their own strength and the Elemental Power of the outside world, while a Sage can mobilize the far more refined and powerful World Power, which is a dimension higher in terms of power level.

"With this power, even if that Flame Wing can rely on the Flame Emblem to summon power at the Near-Sage level, I don't need to worry."

A Near-Sage is, after all, not a Sage and cannot grasp higher-level power; it would be extremely difficult for them to resist Luoning.

However, he would not be careless; before heading to Dragon City, he still needed to familiarize himself well with his current power.

It is just a pity that Suofeiya does not have any Magic, Battle Technique, or secret arts regarding Sages; after all, when she left the Xinyue Continent, she did not think that she would not have returned by the time she became a Sage.

Therefore, Luoning could only turn his gaze toward the "Flame Domain" of Kaierluosi.

For these two years, he had been researching the special power of dragons, but the results were minimal.

Now that he had once again received the baptism of heaven and earth, ignited his Heart Fire, and drawn closer to the origin power of the world, he wondered if he could make a breakthrough.

Before mastering new abilities, Luoning's strongest strike was the Flame Void Slash learned from Ruidar.

With a thought, he briefly abandoned his physical body, transforming into flames that flashed across the sky.

The immense power made the space he passed through extremely distorted, and faintly, there even seemed to be signs of it being severed!

Luoning could not help but think of the spatial rifts in novels, but unfortunately, the Flame Void Slash had not yet reached the power to Tear plane space.

"Hmm?"

Luoning's mind stirred; he sensed an abnormal fluctuation coming from the end of the sea, deep and icy.

"Could it be a fluctuation from the Storm Sea?"

Luoning pondered slightly, and then his figure streaked across space like a Meteor, rushing toward the distance. (End of this chapter)
