|
||
|
||
With renewed focus, he turned his attention to another golden sphere.
|
||
|
||
And then another.
|
||
|
||
And another.
|
||
|
||
One Week Later…
|
||
|
||
Inside the vast space of his Soul Palace—
|
||
|
||
A breathtaking sight unfolded.
|
||
|
||
Thousands of fine, golden threads hovered around Max.
|
||
|
||
Some floated above him, swaying like delicate silk strands.
|
||
|
||
Some drifted below, pulsing faintly with power.
|
||
|
||
Others simply hovered in the air, like a constellation of veins woven from his very soul.
|
||
|
||
Max exhaled, his eyes flickering with pride and satisfaction.
|
||
|
||
"It’s done."
|
||
|
||
For the first time, his soul was no longer raw energy.
|
||
|
||
It was refined. Structured. Controlled.
|
||
|
||
Each thread represented a fragment of his soul force, but unlike before—
|
||
|
||
They were no longer wild and chaotic.
|
||
|
||
They were sharp. Precise. Powerful.
|
||
|
||
Max stared at the threads, deep in thought.
|
||
|
||
"In the Adept Rank, I should be able to transform them into a more definite solid shape."
|
||
|
||
This was just the first stage—
|
||
|
||
A necessary step toward true mastery.
|
||
|
||
But he had already paved the foundation.
|
||
|
||
When the time came—
|
||
|
||
These threads would no longer be mere strands.
|
||
|
||
They would become weapons. Shields. Constructs of pure soul force.
|
||
|
||
’The stronger I grow, the more I can do with them.’
|
||
|
||
Max clenched his fists, determination burning inside him.
|
||
|
||
Before leaving—
|
||
|
||
His eyes instinctively drifted to the transparent sphere.
|
||
|
||
The black cube.
|
||
|
||
The red seed.
|
||
|
||
Still silent. Still unreadable.
|
||
|
||
For now—
|
||
|
||
They remained a mystery.
|
||
|
||
Something he would have to understand later.
|
||
|
||
With a shake of his head, Max turned away.
|
||
|
||
It wasn’t time for that yet.
|
||
|
||
With a deep breath, he focused his will.
|
||
|
||
And then—
|
||
|
||
His form faded from within the Soul Palace.
|
||
|
||
As Max reappeared, he found himself exactly where he had disappeared.
|
||
|
||
But now—
|
||
|
||
Something had changed.
|
||
|
||
The blue orb of light was gone.
|
||
|
||
Vanished.
|
||
|
||
Leaving behind only him and the door with the sun symbol.
|
||
|
||
Max’s gaze locked onto the ancient door.
|
||
|
||
It stood tall and imposing, carved with the radiant emblem of the sun.
|
||
|
||
Its surface glowed faintly, as if waiting for something—
|
||
|
||
For him.
|
||
|
||
"Now, all that’s left is the door."
|
||
|
||
He took a step forward, reaching out—
|
||
|
||
But then—
|
||
|
||
A faint hum echoed through the chamber.
|
||
|
||
The door pulsed.
|
||
|
||
And Max felt it.
|
||
|
||
A strange energy radiating from the sun symbol.
|
||
|
||
Max narrowed his eyes.
|
||
|
||
’What lies beyond this door?’
|
||
|
||
He thought.
|
||
|
||
He had unlocked his Soul Palace.
|
||
|
||
He had refined his soul force.
|
||
|
||
But now—
|
||
|
||
All that left was the door. Find your next read at freewebnovel
|
||
|
||
Max paused, taking a moment to gather his thoughts.
|
||
|
||
Then—
|
||
|
||
With steady resolve, he opened the door.
|
||
|
||
The moment the door creaked open—
|
||
|
||
A wave of scorching heat exploded outward.
|
||
|
||
Inside the room—
|
||
|
||
A colossal sphere of fire hovered in the air, burning with an intensity that defied logic.
|
||
|
||
It was not just a flame.
|
||
|
||
It was a star.
|
||
|
||
A miniature sun.
|
||
|
||
The sheer heat radiating from it was enough to set the very air ablaze.
|
||
|
||
And in an instant—
|
||
|
||
The entire area outside the room caught fire.
|
||
|
||
Max felt the full force of the heat.
|
||
|
||
It was unbearable.
|
||
|
||
A temperature that could melt steel.
|
||
|
||
That could turn mountains to ash.
|
||
|
||
Yet—
|
||
|
||
His 300 Dragon Scales protected his body.
|
||
|
||
He remained unharmed.
|
||
|
||
But—
|
||
|
||
SIZZLE!
|
||
|
||
His clothes weren’t as fortunate.
|
||
|
||
The moment they were exposed to the flames—
|
||
|
||
They ignited instantly.
|
||
|
||
Burning away into nothing.
|
||
|
||
Leaving Max standing shirtless, his muscular body exposed
|
||
|
||
Though he barely even flinched.
|
||
|
||
Instead, his eyes remained locked on the massive sphere of flames.
|
||
|
||
’What the hell is this thing?’
|
||
|
||
Max narrowed his eyes.
|
||
|
||
’Let’s see up close.’
|
||
|
||
A green sphere of energy materialized around him, acting as a protective barrier.
|
||
|
||
The moment it enclosed him—
|
||
|
||
The unbearable heat from the flaming sphere was blocked.
|
||
|
||
Now, he could move freely.
|
||
|
||
He cautiously stepped closer to the colossal sphere of fire.
|
||
|
||
Its blazing form pulsed, radiating a strange energy—
|
||
|
||
But…
|
||
|
||
That was all it did.
|
||
|
||
It just floated there, burning endlessly.
|
||
|
||
No movement.
|
||
|
||
No reaction.
|
||
|
||
Just pure, uncontained flames.
|
||
|
||
Max frowned.
|
||
|
||
’What is the point of this?’
|
||
|
||
This entire place had been built with purpose.
|
||
|
||
There was no way someone would just store a massive ball of fire for no reason.
|
||
|
||
Yet—
|
||
|
||
No runes.
|
||
|
||
No markings.
|
||
|
||
No instructions.
|
||
|
||
Just an empty room with a burning sphere.
|
||
|
||
Max glanced around, searching for any hidden clues.
|
||
|
||
Nothing.
|
||
|
||
’This is strange…’
|
||
|
||
He had expected some kind of inheritance, a powerful artifact, or at the very least, an explanation.
|
||
|
||
But there was nothing here except the fire.
|
||
|
||
Max sighed, shaking his head.
|
||
|
||
’I’ll ask that blob. He might know something.’
|
||
|
||
With that thought, he turned around and exited the room.
|
||
|
||
CLANG!
|
||
|
||
The moment he stepped outside—
|
||
|
||
The door with the sun symbol slammed shut automatically.
|
||
|
||
The heat from the room vanished instantly.
|
||
|
||
As if it had been sealed away again.
|
||
|
||
Max narrowed his eyes at the door.
|
||
|
||
This wasn’t just a normal chamber.
|
||
|
||
There was something more to it.
|
||
|
||
He just didn’t know what.
|
||
|
||
Yet.
|
||
|
||
But one thing was certain—
|
||
|
||
Whatever that ball of fire was—
|
||
|
||
It wasn’t meant to just sit there forever.
|
||
|
||
’I should check this big room… maybe I’ll find some techniques.’
|
||
|
||
Max’s eyes gleamed with excitement as he began shuffling through the bookshelves.
|
||
|
||
There were dozens—no, hundreds of books neatly arranged on the racks.
|
||
|
||
As he skimmed through them—
|
||
|
||
He realized that the temple master had a wide range of interests.
|
||
|
||
Books on elemental laws—but nothing that caught his eye.
|
||
|
||
Records of past battles—but they were just historical accounts.
|
||
|
||
Cultivation theories—but nothing practical.
|
||
|
||
Most of them were useless to him.
|
||
|
||
But he still collected them and kept them all to himself.
|
||
|
||
’Ugh, he sure liked to collect books… but not the kind I need.’
|
||
|
||
Yet, he didn’t stop.
|
||
|
||
He continued searching.
|
||
|
||
Just then—
|
||
|
||
Something caught his attention.
|
||
|
||
A book with a familiar name.
|
||
|
||
"Compendium of Golems"
|
||
|
||
The author?
|
||
|
||
Daniel Winchester.
|
||
|
||
Max raised a brow.
|
||
|
||
"Hmm… I wonder if he made any progress in creating golems after his initial tests."
|
||
|
||
Daniel Winchester, the mad scientist researching on golems, whose make fit lab Max had stumbled upon a while ago.
|
||
|
||
It was because of him that he had any interest in golems.
|
||
|
||
’I will look into it later.’
|
||
|
||
With that thought, he put the book aside for now.
|
||
|
||
And continued his search.
|
||
|
||
Max’s eyes narrowed as he scanned the last few shelves.
|
||
|
||
There had to be something.
|
||
|
||
Somewhere.
|
||
|
||
A skill.
|
||
|
||
A technique.
|
||
|
||
Anything practical.
|
||
|
||
After all—
|
||
|
||
If the temple master prepared this place for his return…
|
||
|
||
Then surely, he would have stored something useful for himself.
|
||
|
||
Right?
|
||
|
||
As Max continued his search, his eyes locked onto a book resting among the countless volumes.
|
||
|
||
Its title was simple—
|
||
|
||
"Sword."
|
||
|
||
’What’s this all about?’
|
||
|
||
Without hesitation, he picked up the book and flipped open the first page.
|
||
|
||
At first, the content seemed ordinary.
|
||
|
||
But as he read further—
|
||
|
||
His brows furrowed in deep thought.
|
||
|
||
Still, he didn’t stop.
|
||
|
||
He read every word of the first page until he reached the very end.
|
||
|
||
Then, his eyes widened slightly.
|
||
|
||
"I see… So this book is all about how one could go about creating their own sword technique."
|
||
|
||
This was not just a sword technique.
|
||
|
||
It was a guide—a blueprint for forging something original.
|
||
|
||
A path of self-creation, rather than mere imitation.
|
||
|
||
Max’s mind raced.
|
||
|
||
Had the temple owner been developing his own sword technique when the Nulls invaded Acaris?
|
||
|
||
Did he fail to complete it?
|
||
|
||
Or was this his personal research, left unfinished because of his downfall?
|
||
|
||
’This is good.’
|
||
|
||
If Max could fully grasp the knowledge in this book—
|
||
|
||
He could craft a sword technique that was entirely his own.
|
||
|
||
Something that no one else had ever seen.
|
||
|
||
A technique that could become unstoppable.
|
||
|
||
Max stored the book carefully.
|
||
|
||
He wasn’t in a rush—
|
||
|
||
But he knew this was something worth studying deeply.
|
||
|
||
Once he left this place, he would dedicate time to understanding its teachings.
|
||
|
||
After searching through the remaining books—
|
||
|
||
Max realized there was nothing else he needed.
|
||
|
||
There were still valuable records and theories—
|
||
|
||
But for now, they weren’t useful to him.
|
||
|
||
His eyes turned to the exit gate at the far end of the room.
|
||
|
||
"It’s time to leave."
|
||
|
||
With one last glance at the ancient chamber—
|
||
|
||
He pushed open the door.
|
||
|
||
And in an instant—
|
||
|
||
Max disappeared from the fifth floor. |
