Chapter 614: Six Legendary Elements

Lei En has heard of many deeds of Grand Mage Taekelis.

When young, this Grand Mage traveled the world, his footprints spanning countless planes, from the Old Continent to the New Continent, ascending to the Heavens and descending to the Abyss, leaving his mark everywhere; thus he made wide acquaintances and met many powerful figures, both righteous and wicked.

With that in mind, it's no surprise that Taekelis knows Elder Sorim.

Lei En curiously asked a few questions.

According to Meidis, Grand Mage Taekelis has not visited the Storm Temple often; in over a hundred years, perhaps fewer than ten times.

"Given the Grand Mage's status, the items on Elder Sorim's exchange list that would pique his interest should be few, so he wouldn't deliberately collect source crystals," Lei En thought, concluding that Taekelis has no conflicting interests with him and is not a rival.

Duke Hong Shi has already reached above Thirty-level, and with Taekelis's astonishing talent, his mage rank is certainly not below Thirty-level.

With such a terrifying spellcaster, I shouldn't show my face and wander around his side.

Lei En restrained his curiosity.

He said to Asina, "Since the elder asked us to wait, let's wait a bit longer."

Asina was overjoyed; she would soon leave the Storm Temple with Lei En, and it was good to be able to spend an extra half day at home with her family.

However, Meidis was now so pleased with Lei En that she found him increasingly pleasant, easing the sorrow of her daughter's impending departure; while clearing the dishes, she kindly said, "Asina, take Lei En back to the room to rest; it's time for bedtime."

Her tone was relaxed, but the implication made Asina's face blush slightly.

Bolos beside them froze for a moment, his eyes complex; instinctively he was about to speak out to stop it, but his gaze fell on the book Lei En had given, his lips moved yet he said nothing. He lifted the book and silently returned to his own room.

"I'm not tired yet; let's take a walk in the garden,"

Lei En declined Meidis's kindness.

Even though it was a foregone conclusion, Asina lowered her head and seemed not to resist, but entering Asina's bedroom on the first visit, and in front of her family, was excessively brazen.

It seemed very impatient and disrespectful to Asina.

The most delicious delicacy must be savored at the most fitting moment and in the most moving setting; everything should flow naturally, so that a lifelong unforgettable memory is created.

Half‑hearted compliance can still achieve results, but it pales compared to a soulful, emotionally‑charged union of spirit and flesh.

Lei En does have some aspirations in this regard.

The Soul Eye observed that after he said he would go for a walk, Asina's nervous tension eased, clearly indicating she felt unprepared. She gave him a sweet smile, and the green in her soul, representing affection, deepened.

A hint of surprise flashed across Meidis's face, "That's fine too."

Bolos, who had pressed his ear to the door upon entering the room, also let out a sigh of relief, lowered his head to look at the book in his hands, as if having made a decision, a smile lifting his lips.

Asina's garden at home is vast, meticulously tended by Meidis for years; Lei En stepping into it feels like entering a forest, and if he strolls slowly he could wander for an hour.

He had already toured it earlier, and Lei En doesn't want to walk through it again.

He has another purpose.

Asina also sensed it; she shrank to human form, led Lei En to a spot surrounded by vast plants bearing crystal‑clear blossoms that towered higher than giants, their dense foliage and flowers forming a semi‑circular vaulted corridor overhead—spectacular, beautiful, and highly concealed.

The two sat on stone steps beneath the flower corridor, perfectly positioned to view the distant mountain peaks.

The Storm Plane's endless howling is kept outside by the temple's shield, and occasionally a massive lightning bolt streaks across the ceiling, illuminating most of the sky.

Each time he looks up, Lei En marvels at nature's grandeur.

Asina, however, is accustomed to such sights, completely ignoring the storm and lightning, gently holding Lei En's hand, feeling his warm body and strong heartbeat, focusing on his profile, her eyes inevitably becoming a bit dazed.

Lei En turned back, "Let's stay here."

"Alright!"

Asina instantly understood his meaning.

Without any hesitation, she sliced her palm with a sharp dagger, letting out thick, pale‑golden blood that coalesced into a blood sphere hovering before her.

A surge of spiritual energy merged into the blood sphere, forming a Soul Contract Rune.

"In the name of the Giant God Annam, I, Asina Meidis Tritognia, and the human before me, Ryan Augustus, forge a soul pact, our destinies intertwined, irreversible, effective immediately," Asina stared into Lei En's eyes, solemnly swearing.

The golden blood sphere rune reacted instantly.

Lei En received Asina's request; a soul contract only needs one party to initiate and the other to consent to become effective.

He had already had one experience, and just now had turned off the MutatedPhone.

He agreed immediately.

In an instant, the golden blood sphere split into two identical runes that embedded into Lei En's and Asina's foreheads, piercing deep into their souls and transforming into brand‑new Elements.

This is the second Soul Contract Element Lei En has obtained.

On the Soul World Tree, beside a branch that had sprouted when a contract was made with Oxyriya, a new branch has budded, its tip bearing a single leaf—the freshly created Soul Contract Element.

The two branches stand side by side, neither higher than the other.

Through the Soul Contract Element, soul partners can communicate directly on a mental level, ignoring distance, at any time. Activating it with soul energy or mana lets them see each other's soul state and choose shared Elements.

Lei En and Asina sensed each other's presence; without speaking, by focusing they can vaguely perceive the other's current thoughts.

"You activate it," Lei En thought.

He quickly added, earnestly, "Asina, prepare yourself mentally; no matter what my soul looks like, don't be too shocked."

"Why?" Asina wondered.

"You'll find out soon," Lei En activated the Soul Contract Element.

In an instant, Asina's soul unfolded before her eyes, the pact seemingly linking the two souls' spaces together, allowing a clear view of each other's state.

He had already seen Asina countless times, and was not surprised at all.

But it was Asina's first time seeing Lei En's soul state; a single glance left her stunned, her body trembling on the stone steps beneath the flower corridor, unable to believe what she saw was real, she involuntarily clutched Lei En's hand tightly, fearing it was an illusion.

"Annam is above!"

"This…"

Asina finally understood why Lei En had just told her to prepare herself, repeatedly exclaiming the Giant God's revered name.

She took several deep breaths before barely calming, her trembling voice asking, "Lei En, is this truly your soul?"

"Of course," Lei En replied with a smile.

A world tree that spans the entire space; on this towering giant tree, dozens of thick branches grow outward in layers. Some branches bear only a single sparse leaf, while others are lush with as many as a dozen leaves.

Axi Na, after meeting Lei En a few years ago, asked Elder Suo Lim about what a combat Wizard is and the meditation method used by combat Wizards.

These branches are soul spirits, and each leaf is an Element!

A quick glance shows that Lei En's soul world tree has over three hundred leaves, far beyond imagination; this is something no mortal could achieve.

Upon closer inspection, those neatly arranged sets of ten leaves per branch are not Elements; together they total just over two hundred forty leaves, and they seem to represent a form of contractual linkage, similar to a soul contract.

Lei En thought to himself, "They are my symbionts, called Extreme Warriors."

Axi Na gave a gentle nod.

Even excluding the symbiotic Elements of those Extreme Warriors, the remaining Elements exceed sixty, far surpassing ordinary legendary masters; the count is two or even three times theirs!

As a Titan Giant, she possesses only a little over forty total Elements and techniques, far fewer than Lei En, who has just reached the Mid-stage of legend.

What shocked her most was the grade of Lei En's Elements.

Each leaf's Element rune shimmered with radiant light, emitting a dazzling glow that almost blinded Axi Na. She is not a caster, nor does she study Elements as deeply as humans do, so she could not recognize many of them.

Yet from their vast aura she could sense that these Elements are far from ordinary.

Axi Na saw a familiar Element.

Power!

The Level‑12 "Power", its crimson Element rune intricate and mighty, is already a legendary Element!

The aura of a legendary Element is uniquely distinct, standing out among many like a lamp in darkness; Axi Na focused and counted, "One, two, three, four, five, six!"

Exactly six legendary Elements.

She was stunned beyond words.

Legendary Elements that countless transcendants never see in a lifetime, rare in the world, each so unbelievably powerful—Lei En actually possesses six! If Lei En were to share Titan divine power from me, his legendary Elements would reach seven!

Is he still a mortal?

Axi Na's mind went numb, blank for a moment, unable to think.

She examined the legendary Elements and found that, aside from "Legendary Power", the other five were unfamiliar; she could not fully recognize them. The element radiating a pure, ethereal light seemed to be "Willpower of Truth", the rainbow‑colored light arc resembled the "Rainbow Light Principle", and she had no recollection of the remaining three.

Those three legendary Elements felt to her increasingly powerful, one surpassing the next.

Lei En sensed Axi Na's curiosity and gave a general introduction, explaining the effects of those legendary Elements.

"Key of Doors!"

"Mysterious Touch!"

"Wish Spell!"

Axi Na had heard of the Key of Doors before; the Mysterious Touch was new to her, and the Wish Spell rang like thunder in her ears—this Element, dubbed "King of All Laws", made her eyes widen.

Lei En smiled to himself; clearly Axi Na, like Ao Xi Li Ya, also wanted to share the Wish Spell.

But her intention would ultimately be in vain.

Unaware of the details, Axi Na did not rush to decide; she looked at the dense leaves on the world tree, each Element rune flickering, and hurriedly asked, "What about the other Elements? Tell me about all of them."

Lei En explained with great patience.

Just introducing all the Elements took over ten minutes.

The more Axi Na listened, the more her heart raced; she was truly amazed.

Lei En's Elements are not only numerous but also of high quality; he has over twenty supreme Elements, such as Iron Body, Activated Metal, Void Resonance, Blood Frenzy, Destructive Critical Hit, Bimonli Claw, Indestructible Iron Fist, True Dragon Body, Giant Dragon Roar, Mirror Image, Space‑Time Shock, Tim Kainan Demon Sword Technique, Magic Burst Force Field, and so on—sharing any one of them can greatly boost one's power.

The rest include a series of Arcane and thunder‑light spells, each with a level exceeding his original potency.

Axi Na could not comprehend.

She also mastered many thunder‑light spells, similar to Lei En, but her training focuses on close‑quarters combat, leaving little time to enhance spell potency.

According to Lei En himself, he has been on the path of transcendent for only five years—how did he manage to improve so many spells?

Axi Na, gifted and clever, immediately guessed that Lei En must harbor a major secret and politely refrained from probing. She had a more pressing question, which she realized during Lei En's Element briefing: why does Lei En possess so many dragon Elements?

"Lei En, are you a dragon rider?"

"Yes." Lei En knew he could not hide it; Axi Na would eventually see another soul‑linked Element, so he voluntarily confessed, "I have a soul contract with a rainbow dragon; the Rainbow Light Principle is shared from her. I'm sorry I didn't tell you earlier."

Axi Na fell silent.

In fact, she had already thought of it: giants and dragons are mortal enemies, and she knew the Rainbow Light Principle's sole source is the legendary rainbow dragon, one of the dragon races; Lei En was clearly a rider of a rainbow dragon.

The "she" Lei En referred to was, needless to say, extremely close to him.

It turned out that my soul contract with Lei En was not the first.

Axi Na felt regretful yet quickly recovered, smiling at Lei En, "It's fine; this is the arrangement of the god of destiny. I will accept the existence of that rainbow dragon lady, after all she met you first, and I cannot change the fact."

"Thank you for your tolerance," Lei En exhaled.

"I only want you to be happy, not to make things difficult for you," Axi Na said softly.

Lei En's face softened; he could see that Axi Na truly meant it, filling him with deep affection.

He gently pulled Axi Na's waist toward his chest, lowered his head, and kissed her.

"Um…"

The beautiful giant woman's eyes fluttered closed, then opened in response, she tilted her head, wrapped both arms around Lei En's neck, and savored the exquisite sensation.

After a long while, the two finally separated.

Axi Na's chest rose rapidly; she lifted a hand to her lips, laughed, "So this is what a kiss feels like—no wonder so many people become addicted."

"There's an even more wonderful taste; if you wish, I can let you experience it right now," Lei En said with a mischievous grin.

Axi Na, lacking experience, shyly lowered her head and remained silent.
