The collection of all of these skills made it possible for him to use another 5 Skill Points on one of the newly obtained Void Rank skills, maxing its proficiency as he went on to sacrifice this skill in order to take [Blood Lord] into the Void+ level!
He watched the stat panel with rapt attention as the classification of [Blood Lord] went from Void to Void+ without even a name change, the only thing changing being the number of skill points required for him to open up the next pathway of the skill tree after he met the requirements.
VOID+ [Blood Lord] (30/45):: A technique that only those with the purest forms of blood can use. Two Skill Trees for evolution are possible once sufficient points and a base requirement of two equivalent level sacrificial skills are reached: >>Elder Vampyre- Leads the Blood Lord towards the path of a Ruler, gaining abilities geared towards leading the race of Vampyres. >>Kin of the Ancients- Leads the Blood Lord towards the path of Ancients, awakening the qualities only found in the strongest of the Ancient Races.
Noah's eyes shone in the quietly moving Prime Warship as he observed the details of the next pathways of the [Blood Lord] skill tree. Elder Vampyre or Kin of the Ancients, what would it be?
He smiled as he already knew his choice right away while he read the description, his thoughts already moving as he sent the command to add in the needed Skill Points and ready 2 of the newly obtained Void+ skills to be sacrificed, his eyes looking forward to what the grand future would bring!
Chapter 355 - As if one wasn't enough!
Of course, the choice was simple when considering Noah had the bloodline of the Vampyre Progenitor himself, the need for abilities that would help with leading the race of Vampyres not being useful to him at all as he had ultimate power over them just with his bloodline.
What he went for...was the pathway that talked about the Ancient Races!
His eyes shone as he made sure to activate [Fate Concealment] and continue using [Unique Origin] to ensure that nothing suspicious was found out by the Celestials in the Prime Warship. He watched with anticipation as two of the newly obtained Void+ skills from the numerous Void Rank Magi he had taken down disappeared, while a brand new extension appeared on the spectacularly designed skill tree that was the [Blood Lord].
SOUL [Blood Lord] (45/45):: A technique that only those with the purest forms of blood can use. It is Ancient Blood Magic that includes the abilities Dawn of the Blood Lord(5/5), Blood World(5/5), Drain Life(5/5), and Nightmarish Descent(5/5). >> [Kin of the Ancients] (0/60) :: Ancient Blood Scion(0/5), Ancient Blood Clone(0/5), Summon the Ancients(0/5), Blood Rage(0/5)
[Ancient Blood Scion] :: Take on the form of the scion of blood and rain down destruction on those that oppose you. This form allows you to heal 5% of all damage dealt and received, increase Physical and Elemental Damage by 30%, as well as enhance all the abilities of [Blood Lord] by 5%.
[Ancient Blood Clone] :: The user can create a clone through using Origin Blood. This clone will be connected to the user as if it is an extension of their own limbs. The clone can only exhibit 10% of the original's abilities.
[Summon the Ancients] :: Your call travels through space and time as you call forth the Ancients that are bound by blood. Limit: 1 Ancient
[Blood Rage] :: A destructive storm of blood begins to rotate with you at the center, raging with the capabilities of disintegrating all enemies caught within. Affected Area- 50 meters.
Noah glanced at the stupendous additions to the Blood Lord skill tree which further enhanced the previous abilities and also added new skills that he was looking at with joy!
Putting the transformation ability that was the [Ancient Blood Scion] aside, he had gained yet another summoning ability- and this one allowed him to summon the beings called Ancients!
The current limit of this was 1, but this number would undoubtedly rise when he began to pump skill points into it.
The other skill worthy of note was [Blood Rage] as it seemed to be an extremely powerful area of attack skill, and he couldn't wait to watch the skill at work with his own eyes whenever he got the chance to try it.
But the ability that made him the happiest was the [Ancient Blood Clone] ability!
The use of a skill like a clone might seem mediocre to others, especially when this clone would only be able to exhibit a percentage of the original's abilities. But for Noah, this was the most important ability to come out of this upgrade, one that he could already see huge implications of!
His gaze became one of pondering as his thoughts rapidly moved, many possibilities on how to utilize these newly gained skills and how they went in line with the hints he received from [Fate Traverser].
In a few seconds, numerous plans laid out in his mind as he then went on to focus on the shining words of [Ancient Blood Clone] on the stat panel. He moved his thoughts as 5 Skill Points were quickly added into the ability, the number on the description changing drastically as a result.
[Ancient Blood Clone] :: The user can create a clone through using Origin Blood. This clone will be connected to the user as if it is an extension of their own limbs. The clone can only portray 60% of the original's abilities.
He glanced at the ability as currently, it could create an Ancient Blood Close that would be able to exhibit over half of his power! When he thought about this limitation while putting his so-called skills into account though...Noah could not help but smile as he knew for him, it wouldn't be anything to worry about!
His gaze hardened in the next moment as he prepared to do something bold, his attention placed on the [Fate Concealment] ability as well as the [Unique Origin] of the Vampyre Progenitor, making sure both of their auras of concealment covered his surroundings as he cast [Ancient Blood Clone].
The movement of mana that only he could feel erupted out as he felt a minuscule piece of himself detaching from him, shooting out of his body speedily as it came out as an extremely dark red drop of blood!
The dense drop of blood shone with a unique l.u.s.ter as it came from his own origin, his gaze only being able to observe it briefly before it began expanding and ballooning up rapidly.
He watched with care and fascination as this single drop of blood gradually transformed into a n.a.k.e.d red figure that gradually seemed to gained bones, muscles, and skin as soon enough, an extremely dashing image of himself was seated in front of him.
It was a weird and eerie feeling as he felt his consciousness within both bodies, feeling both of his eyes stare back at himself as he performed some simple movements. The mind enhancing skills like [Parallel Thought] soon came into play to smoothly allow him to think with clarity while he controlled his now two bodies.
The clone had the image of his original body as Noah, not the image of Crixus as he was currently portrayed. He looked over it briefly as he nodded his head at this devilishly handsome being in front of his eyes as he couldn't help but let out a laugh.
Accomplishment was apparent on his two faces as the clone's waved his hands, a red robe draping its body as in the next second, it disappeared into particles of light!
He reduced the mana he was continuously placing into [Fate Concealment] and [Unique Origin] as in the room he was in, the same calmness continued. While in a far away region across the vastness of space, the figure of Noah had appeared above a grand Spiritual Land that was stably floating in the skies of a fiery hell.
One being was on a Prime Warship heading back into the lands of the Celestials, another being had just teleported into the First Realm of Hell. As if one of him wasn't already ridiculously overpowered enough, Noah would now have two of him moving across the Novus Galaxy as he planned to move with monstrous efficiency!
If his enemies had found out about this advancement, they would weep as they cried unfairness, as the future was bound to be even more tumultuous!
Chapter 356 - Progress, Shocking Plans
As his consciousness continued to familiarize itself with the feeling of controlling two bodies, his original one continued its way on th
e Prime Warship towards the 7th Celestial Star, while the Ancient Blood Clone teleported into the First Realm of Hell.
His original body would still have to be the main one he was moving with when associating with the Celestials because as the [Ancient Blood Clone] ability described, the clone was was an extension of himself akin to a limb! He could observe his stat panel and all of his skills through the clone's eyes, as well as do anything else that his original body could do.
It only held a portion of his origin that was able to use his strength, though he would have to test exactly to what extent he could utilize this clone as there were a few things to make sure of.
He had to first confirm the abilities of the clone when it came to its strength and capabilities, as well as usefulness in helping him increase the proficiency of his skills. He was thinking all of these things as his clone began by spreading his awareness towards the Spiritual Land and the eerily calm blazing earth that was normally surrounded by Infernals but was currently filled with numerous undead that orderly kept watch.
His intrusion above the skies of the Spiritual Land was first noticed by Barbatos, only to be later followed by the Abhorred Lich Emperor that was tens of miles away, its senses only picking up the distinct aura of its master as it left behind a high tiered Bone Dragon and Undead Phoenix to patrol the skies that the Spiritual Land was floating on.
Barbatos held the highest strength amongst those that followed him, her senses picking him up around the same time as Noah found her to be relaxing on a snowy planting field that was packed with numerous Medicinal Fruits and Herbs along with the Imperial Phoenix.
The two of them were both in their humanoid forms, simple thin dresses draping over them as they walked around the plot of resplendently glowing plants that held bright fruits, reaching out and plucking them to enjoy as they wished.
When paired with the abundant essence in the Spiritual Land, it was a paradisiacal scene of enjoyment that very few would have the chance to come across. Barbatos senses his aura first as she looked up and shot into the air, the Imperial Phoenix following close behind as these were some of the few Harbingers to remain in the First Realm of Hell while others were in the Underworld. Barbatos looked up at him with a mischievous smile as she called out.
"Little fish, I thought you'd be stuck with the Celestials for months. They already gave you a break?"
Noah smiled as he saw the Imperial Phoenix also near and nod towards him, descending down into the Spiritual Land with them as he told them the shocking truth that the body they were currently seeing was just a clone!
Barbatos only shook her head while saying deprecatingly,
"Haaa of course it is, as if you weren't already crazy enough."
While the Imperial Phoenix only looked towards Noah with shining eyes. He enjoyed the company of the people that weren't Celestials as he descended into the Spiritual Land and got up to speed with everyone's progress, which was shocking to say the least!
For those that stayed on the Spiritual Land and used the ridiculously amazing Time Space, they were able to practice their skills and raise their proficiencies rapidly in this span of 30 days that was actually more than a few months depending on how much time they were in the Time Space.
They didn't have Noah's nearly unlimited mana, so of course they weren't training day and night. But they worked arduously as they spent months in the Time Space raising their skills' proficiencies, fully utilizing the ratio of 1:20 as they made huge gains even when considering their abilities.
Noah was the only outlier that could abuse the Time Space to the fullest, but his Harbingers were able to utilize it along with the use of Skill Points to smoothly have many of their ranks and skill trees at the peak of SAINT!
To normal beings, this was a rapid rate of progress, although it might seem like a turtle's pace when putting Noah's speed into account, and how rapidly he would have grown if he had been spending an entire month in the Time Space that now had the ratio of 1:20. For now, the harbingers only required a few more combinations before they could stably push their skills from Saint and into the Void Rank.
But...this was where Noah would come in to cause an explosive boost in their strength as after a recent bout with hundreds of thousands of Magi, he had obtained for himself numerous [Core]s that would be able to bring many of them from their Transcendent or Saint Ranks and allow them to stably step into the Void Realm.
This held an even bigger significance to Noah when it came to the beasts of the Spiritual Land, as their jump from Saint and into the Void would have a stupendous meaning by itself.
When he left to head into the 7th Celestial Star a month ago, the Emperor Penguin was the only beast to have stepped into the Saint Rank, where many other beasts needed to reach the same rank before the qualifications of upgrading the Spiritual Land to the next tier was met.
In the span of the last month, many more of these beasts had stepped into the Saint Realm, fulfilling the requirement to upgrade to the next tier! But Noah would not just stop there, as the many [Core]s and gifts he had obtained from the Magus World would be focused towards these beasts as he planned to directly pump the tier of the Spiritual Land by 2 all at once!
He would push these beasts into the Void Rank forcefully as he wanted to see why [Fate Traverser] held the Spiritual Land as one of the three things he could currently use to push him towards his most optimum fate.
The [Blood Lord] skill tree had made it possible for him to create a clone, which would have its own stupendous uses as time passed. Now, he wanted to pierce through the veil of the continued usefulness of the Spiritual Land as he planned to domineeringly push its rank by two tiers all at once.
It was defying common sense, and it wasn't something that anyone else could do. But he wanted to and he had the capability to do it, so he would!
Chapter 357 - Power Leveling!
Noah sent a telepathic message towards the Emperor Penguin and the other Harbingers that were still in the underworld. They were confused at this message but followed it nonetheless as they left behind the things they were doing and soon began appearing in the underground layer of the Spiritual Land where a red portal stably stood.
The figure of the Emperor Penguin became ecstatic as it sensed the familiar energy signature of the master of the Spiritual Land, his figure teleporting to the location where Noah stood with Barbatos and the Imperial Phoenix as his beak snapped open in stupefaction.
"Master!"
The arrogant penguin was shocked because he had just been observing his master rain down destruction in a Prime World not long ago, and knew he should be surrounded by the powerful forces of Celestials at all times!
Noah nodded towards the penguin with a smile as the others gradually came in, those that were training in the Time Space of the Spiritual Land and those that were taking down Infernals in the far distance all returning as he repeated his circ.u.mstances yet again.
"Successfully infiltrated a crazy powerful force while picking up skills that even allow you to make a clone. We have to celebrate!"
The boisterous Kazuhiko returned as he gave Noah a bear hug and called for a celebration before anything else, Noah pondering for a bit before agreeing as he would relax his mind a bit before carrying out the stupendous upgrades.
"Little fish, can you prepare something for us? It's been a while since I tasted something remotely as good as the food you whip up."
Barbatos looked at him with shining eyes as she called out, causing a smile to form on Noah's face as he looked back to the Rank A [Cook] he had not put to use in a while. He acquiesced to their requests as his figure teleported into the seas of his homeworld to quickly grab some delicacies in the form of deep-sea fish. He quickly popped into the Beast World as well, grabbing the Frozen Queen and the Shadow Guard that was always with her thereafter!
The process didn't take him longer than 5 minutes as he returned to the Spiritual Land, numerous deep sea fish in his [Expansive Space], and the fl.u.s.t
ered face of Queen Adelaide accompanying him.
A fire was soon set ablaze as Noah looked at the [Cook] skill, putting 5 Skill Points into the Rank A ability just for fun before he began, a blazing fire erupting thereafter as the aroma of food that would make Rulers jealous spread throughout the Spiritual Land.
In under half an hour, numerous well roasted meats were ready for devouring, even the Calamities of the Sea feeling no guilt as they smelled the fragrant aroma seeping out of the glistening deep sea fish rotating above the simmering fire.
"Dig in!"
Noah called out as he used [Architecture] to create a simple styled outdoor dining area where he laid out the numerous delectable dishes, the many beings around him digging in thereafter as the next few hours were spent in bliss enjoying dishes cooked by a Rank A skill that was enhanced with Skill Points.
It was a surreal experience for Noah as his original body was nearing the 7th Celestial Star, returning to the abode of the Celestials as another piece of him was somewhere else doing something he did not expect to be doing a few hours ago!
He smiled at the crazy possibilities that the skill trees could bring to life as he enjoyed himself for the next few hours, the taste buds of the clone being no less than the original as he relished on his own creations.
He wrapped up this brief relaxation period in a few hours as his gaze shone while looking at the numerous beasts lined up in front of him.
The Emperor Penguin was at the peak of the Saint Rank, his brothers and sisters already entering the same rank in the past month as more than enough beasts had already met the requirement of upgrading to the 7th Tier Spiritual Land.
But...he wouldn't stop there!
He waved his hands towards the beasts as numerous Saint and Void Rank [Core]s appeared before their eyes, one of the few positive things coming out of the Magus World showing itself into the eyes of everyone around him as they looked on in shock.
