Chapter 623: All Legends

At the summit of an unnamed perilous peak of the Shi Jie Shan Mai.

When Lei En emerged from the Storm Sanctuary it was noon, but now it was morning; the sun was gradually rising from the east, the mountaintop was a bit chilly, and he gently tugged at the blanket covering his body.

Screech!

The already tattered blanket tore completely, the ragged cloth slipped off his smooth skin, revealing a breathtakingly undulating curve.

The Tear sound startled Axi Na from her light sleep; she lifted her head from Lei En's embrace, her bright eyes meeting his gaze for a few seconds, a slight smile curling her lips, full of happiness, then she sat up straight without hesitation, taking in the splendid scenery without a single obstruction.

Axi Na noticed his change, her face slightly flushed, but no longer as shy as before when she was inexperienced; she smiled sweetly and said, "Are you okay?"

Lei En let out an awkward dry cough.

The Titan Giant's physical constitution was too robust, countless times tougher than Viola and Ai Mi Li Si; he didn't need to be cautious about overexerting and hurting the other, he could go all out.

She seemed to have received guidance from her mother Mei Di Si, becoming proactive and highly aggressive; although she was clumsy at first, once she got accustomed, Lei En almost lost his initiative. (Reviewers, please be lenient; I've revised this four or five times, don't keep silently deleting hundreds of characters, thanks!)

He could only resort to every tactic, relying on his abundant experience, fighting for half a day and night before finally subduing Axi Na.

……

Lei En finally fully understood that sentence.

The stimulation was indeed stimulating, the pleasure was also great, but fighting continuously for over ten hours was exhausting; even with a steel body, it was hard to bear, feeling more arduous than that time Longhaired Lady's divine descent.

……

Viola herself was merely mortal, subduing her was easy, but Axi Na was a genuine clash; her physical constitution matched his, seemingly never knowing fatigue.

The thought of Axi Na staying by his side long-term made Lei En both excited and a little apprehensive.

"It's your first time, you must take care of your body." Lei En supported Axi Na's rounded shoulder, his face full of tenderness as he said, "Our strength is still in a rapid ascent phase; we must not indulge excessively, it's best to exercise restraint, lest it affect our refined Willpower."

Axi Na flashed a glance with her beautiful eyes, covered her mouth and let out a light laugh, "Hmm."

She stood up, a layer of electricity flashed over her skin, instantly cleansing her body, she put on a brand‑new form‑fitting undergarment, the Titan Power Armor was also taken from the Nebula Ring, she shouldered a round shield and a long sword, and in an instant reverted to the dashing image of a valkyrie.

Lei En also changed his clothes within a second.

"Does this peak have a name?" Axi Na asked suddenly.

She looked around, as if she wanted to remember this place forever. Lei En searched a few times in his mobile library, but found no results.

There are too many peaks in the Shi Jie Shan Mai for each to have a name; it's normal for this rugged one to be nameless, but we can give it one, he said with a smile, understanding that this perilous peak and cliff held great significance for Axi Na.

"Alright, what shall we call it?" Axi Na said delightedly.

Lei En thought for a moment, "Let's call it Jade Maiden Peak."

"Jade Maiden Peak..." Axi Na whispered several times; the name was uncommon in both Giant Tongue and the Empire's language, sounding a bit odd, but its meaning was beautiful.

Seeing her still chewing on the name, Lei En reminded, "We should leave now."

He grasped the Thunder God's Hammer and raised it.

Axi Na picked up the torn, blood‑stained blanket and stored it in the Nebula Ring, then moved forward to hug Lei En's waist; with a booming roar, the war hammer lifted the two of them into the sky, soaring straight upward.

After takeoff, Lei En gradually increased the infusion of lightning power.

The hammer's speed surged, like a bolt of lightning cutting across the sky, tearing a straight white line through the clouds before vanishing into the horizon.

Half a day later.

Jin Gang Peak had already appeared on the horizon ahead; Lei En descended from dozens of li away, landing on a ridge, pointing at the distant Jin Gang Peak and said, "In the canyon beneath that mountain lies my secret training base, Jin Gang Fort."

Axi Na gazed at the snow‑capped summit from afar, her eyes full of anticipation.

During the flight, Lei En had already told her that from the Jin Gang Fort base one could teleport directly to Glamorgan, entering the interior of the Empire!

Lei En opened a teleportation gate.

The two stepped inside, appearing in the Jin Gang Fort hall, where four Extreme Warriors guarded; sensing the arrival of the original body, they shouted excitedly, "Boss!"

Their reaction was even more enthusiastic than usual.

Lei En knew the reason, calling out an Extreme Warrior's name, he asked, "Ma Erke Mu, how do the brothers feel?"

"Very good!"

Ma Erke Mu responded loudly, and the other three Extreme Warriors also reported in turn, their excitement evident.

Yesterday, when Lei En obtained "Titan Divine Power" from Axi Na's soul, raising his strength to level thirteen, the power of all his symbionts surged simultaneously. Of the 240 Extreme Warriors, over a hundred had already ascended to Legendary; after another boost, they finally all entered the Legendary rank!

Even the weakest Extreme Warrior possessed eighth‑level power.

At the same time, the Extreme Warriors' physiques swelled by about half a circle, averaging around 2.4 meters tall, causing many of their armors to fit poorly.

Reslin had already returned from the Dying Sun plane, working through the night to modify his armor.

Extreme Warriors could only inherit a portion of Lei En's physical qualities; they couldn't enlarge their bodies like true Titan Divine Power, but they did inherit some of the Titan Giant's regeneration and magical resistance, and with Lei En's steel body upgraded to level five, even a partial boost made their defense astonishingly high.

Now, even without armor or a Bolt Gun, an Extreme Warrior's combat power is extremely formidable.

Several veteran company commanders and mentors, who had followed Lei En from the start, possessed even better talent, and had already ascended to Legendary Mid-stage.

The strongest Xi Ka Liu Si saw his strength skyrocket, leaping to the brink of the Legendary High-rank ceiling.

These past two days, the Extreme Warriors have been in great excitement; their overall strength has leapt dramatically—ordinary people might not notice, but it cannot be hidden from the Ouroin Master and Viscount Stoinde Vili En at the Jin Gang Fort base.

Even Axi Na, who had just met them, sensed it.

"Them?"

"All Legendary!"

Axi Na sensed a familiar aura on these towering barbarian warriors; when she forged a soul contract, she had seen some people's soul leaves on Lei En's soul world tree, and now, seeing them with her own eyes, she realized they were all Legendary!

Lei En had mentioned the Extreme Warriors and said he commanded 240 of them.

Axi Na was instantly stunned.

Two hundred forty Legendary, that's twice as many as the Legendary giants in the Storm Sanctuary!

It should be noted that the Storm Giants' talent was only slightly below that of dragons, and only half of their clan, thanks to their long lifespans, had ascended to Legendary; the other half couldn't even match these barbarians.

She sensed that the Extreme Warriors were no longer purely barbarian fighters.

Each Extreme Warrior's body acted like a magnet, drawing surrounding atmospheric lightning elements together; lightning flickered in their skin and eyes from time to time, a sign of lightning affinity, at least mid‑level affinity, equivalent to two lightning affinities!

If they can grow beyond five meters, then they are true storm giants.

A Xi Na was speechless; her heart was very confused, and through a soul contract she sent a series of question marks to Lei En.

"I'll explain later," Lei En replied in his mind.

The Extreme Warrior gaining Lightning Affinity was also a great unexpected joy for him.

He had thought that "Original Body Symbiosis" would not replicate Arcane Element and ability Element, being limited to physical qualities; the reason it happened was likely because his Lightning Affinity was too strong.

Three Lightning Forms plus three Lightning Affinities broke the limits of Original Body Symbiosis.

Whether the Extreme Warrior masters spells is actually not important.

Lei En's previous method was to have the Extreme Warrior obtain "Flame Affinity" from the Flame Dragon, then practice meditation; later he found that having only Flame Affinity was of little use, the Ma Ku La Ge barbarians truly were unsuitable for learning spells, and even the most diligent Extreme Warriors achieved little—after two years of effort they could only launch two or three Flame Arrows, whose power reached only the second ring.

The Extreme Warrior's soul power is extremely robust, not as a result of meditation, but as the soul force that naturally grows from their great strength.

These soul powers are enough for them to activate the fuel in the bullets when firing.

Whether it's the shell-less version of the Lambo Gun or the Bolt Gun, the soul power consumed is minimal, but there is a risk: if the Extreme Warrior's Flame Dragon falls in battle, they lose Flame Affinity, their soul power drops sharply, which may affect the number of bullets they can trigger, causing insufficient firepower.

Therefore Lei En tries to minimize the number of times Extreme Warriors ride Flame Dragons into battle.

Now that they have Lightning Affinity, there is no need to worry.

Lei En's plan is to conduct further research, letting the Extreme Warrior abandon Flame Affinity and only share melee Elements from the Flame Dragon, while they switch to meditating on Lightning Elements.

After he merges with more Lightning Forms, the Extreme Warrior's Lightning Affinity will also rise, so even those with poor talent can master a few Lightning spells.

By then, every Extreme Warrior will be a legendary Thunder Magic Swordsman!

Ai Lun E Si's peak warriors are almost without exception spellcasters; without spells, one never has a chance to ascend the pinnacle of the transcendent path.

Lei En does not want Extreme Warriors to forever be barbarian soldiers beaten by spellcasters; Lightning Affinity gives them limitless possibilities.

A Xi Na has been observing the four Extreme Warriors.

The Extreme Warriors also quietly sized her up, silently marveling at her stunning looks, thinking that the boss went out for a while and somehow tricked a woman this beautiful, who seems very powerful.

"Boss."

Ma Erke Mu's gaze shifted from A Xi Na, his expression odd as he said, "Ouroin Master has been looking for you these two days."

"I understand."

Lei En nodded, sensing that Xi Ka Liu Si was sparring swordsmanship with the Ouroin Master on the field outside, so he went out, and A Xi Na, curious, followed.

"Who is the Ouroin Master?" she asked in her mind.

"One of the Empire's Holy Soul Wizards, founder of the Battle Wizard, the most skillful mortal swordsman in the world; you will soon witness it."

Lei En's offhand explanation shocked A Xi Na pale with amazement. She had spent years in the Storm Temple, but had also heard of the Empire's Holy Soul Wizards' reputation; she thought such a figure would be hard to meet, yet before formally entering the Empire she would encounter one, causing her to quicken her steps.

Coming out of Jin Gang Fort, she saw the battle on the field at a glance.

Sword lights interlaced, ringing sounds continued.

Three silhouettes of vastly different sizes were besieging a white-bearded elder, but the human elder was not outmatched at all; with a single cruciform longsword he easily subdued the three powerful opponents.

On the side of the field sat over a hundred Extreme Warriors, all legends!

"Holy Soul Wizard!"

"What terrifying power! What brilliant swordsmanship!"

"Is this the world's strongest Battle Wizard?"

A Xi Na's gaze was wholly captured by that white silhouette; as she walked toward the field she stared intently at his swordsmanship, her eyes shining. She dared not blink, fearing to miss any movement.

Until Lei En stopped at the edge of the field, A Xi Na said not a word.

Lei En's arrival drew the Extreme Warriors' attention.

"Boss."

"Boss..."

The Extreme Warriors seated at the side rose one after another, saluting Lei En. In each of their eyes was excitement and eagerness, with many words they wished to exchange with the Original Body.

Over a hundred legends saluted in unison, the resulting power fluctuation making A Xi Na feel somewhat suffocated.

The four who were fighting also glanced aside.

Xi Ka Liu Si, Wei Li En, and An Wei La unintentionally lost focus; the Ouroin Master was very displeased, his cruciform longsword unleashed power, a casual swing knocking the three down, muttering, "A trivial matter caused you to be distracted, yet you commit such a low-level mistake."

"Sorry, Master," Wei Li En bowed his head in apology.

Xi Ka Liu Si and An Wei La also wore guilty expressions.

"Master," Lei En stepped forward to take the blame, shouldering the fault, "This is my responsibility; please forgive their mistake."

Then he said to the Extreme Warriors at the side, "Sit down, all of you."

Ouroin's expression softened slightly.

One can withhold others' face, but not with Lei En. He was about to ask about the Extreme Warriors' changes these two days when he suddenly stared deeply at Lei En, noticing Lei En's power surge, then saw A Xi Na beside Lei En, his gaze shifting slightly, quickly deducing the reason.

"I see," Ouroin laughed, "Lei En, won't you introduce this young lady?"

I'm back; today there's only one chapter, starting tomorrow I'll add updates.
