One of those things was the simple rule that their force would not move past the unexplored regions that might hold powerful Elite Behemoths or even worse for now, spending this time to get accustomed to the fighting power of Normal Behemoths as they strengthened themselves and obtained phenomenal treasures.
The Royal Vampyre listened to the words of the Vampyre Progenitor to the tee as on this day in the Sanctum of the Celestial Realm, the Exploration Team under the name of The Order of Blood was formed!
This exploration team consisted of powerful Vampyric Beasts like the Emperor Penguin and numerous Pureblood Vampyres that were led by the curvaceous Royal Blood Vampyre Elena, a force that would actually fall on the weaker side as it did not have that many Soul Forging Beings.
But they would make up for what they lacked in strength with their numbers, and also with something that was unique only to them, the blazing red Item Sets they wore that were the Bloodstained Infernal Oath Set Items!
Noah had used the Absolute Skills <
But these items would play a special role in the Celestial Realm, as they were items strong in the Law of Fire, being especially effective in hunting down Icy Behemoths in the South region or withstanding the Fire Behemoths in the North with the armors that provided defense against such a beast.
The concept that having the armor of the same element helped in withstanding the damage of the Behemoth while holding a weapon of the opposing element helped you deal more damage to the Behemoth would soon become understood very clearly by the arriving beings as they flocked to create weapons from the bodies of the Behemoths they hunted, wanting to equip themselves with the right set of armors and weapons that would dictate what they hunted in the future.
The combination of armor drenched in the Law of Fire along with a weapon drenched in the Law of Water was needed to hunt Fire Behemoths with most efficiency. While the combination of armor drenched in the Law of Water and a weapon filled with the Law of Fire were utmost if one wanted to pierce through the defenses of an Ice Behemoth. This concept applied to all the other elements, as they had not yet stepped into the realm of worrying about Elite Behemoths that could be proficient in Supreme Laws.
The Law of Light and the Law of Darkness opposed each other, as well as the Law of Fate and the Law of Chaos standing on opposite sides of the spectrum, but not a single one of the new beings were worried about these types of laws at this moment.
The newly formed Order of Blood with Elena leading was equipped with the Infernal Sets as they set off carefully towards the explored perimeters near the Sanctum, wishing to find a weak wandering Behemoth to have their first battle as they move to strengthen themselves.
Meanwhile, Noah and Athena were in the company of the Righteous Fire Exploration Team as they continued to go out and hunt the Northern Region with Fire Behemoths every day as they learned more and more about the Celestial Realm, Noah's mood being particularly good today as while he walked with Boru and his group back to the Sanctum, in another location of the Celestial Realm, someone had intruded.
The intrusion was not through the Golden Door that led one into the Celestial Realm, but through the use of a particular Teleportation Skill that allowed one to appear at any place in their memories.
This time, a devilishly handsome Ancient Blood Clone had appeared in an empty region of the Celestial Realm, a confident expression on his face as he had a miraculous Spiritual Land anchored to his body.
A single blood clone carrying a Spiritual Land that had a unique feature entered the Celestial Realm, the effect of this event being something only Noah could imagine as he got ready to move into this expansive realm in earnest as he used the cover of the newly arriving beings to move freely.
This wide realm and the numerous mysterious treasures within it...he wanted them all to himself as the Ancient Blood Clone raised his hand up, holding the miniaturized Spiritual Land as he began by activating a single feature- [Treasure Hunter]!
Chapter 380 - Covert Exploration
In the expansive Celestial Realm, a single Ancient Blood Clone was moving further and further away from the Sanctum as he passed through numerous areas that were already explored by the Celestials, the path he was taking actually taking him towards the unexplored regions as time passed.
The usage of the [Treasure Hunter] feature of the Frozen Plateau Spiritual Land was a unique one, with the clone observing a golden light shoot forth from the center of the miniaturized Spiritual Land as it trembled with vigorous essence, this golden light forming into the shape of a literal golden arrow that pointed even further north from the position that he was standing on.
Noah shook his head with a smile as he looked at the small golden arrow that was barely a meter long, wondering exactly what thing could be considered a treasure that this arrow had locked onto, and what he would have to do to obtain it!
Before he began moving towards the direction it pointed towards, he used the [Unique Origin] ability gifted from the Vampyre Progenitor as he chose to look for this first treasure covertly, not knowing what powerful creatures he could possibly run into as he went further and further away from the Sanctum.
He used [Unique Origin] as his body rapidly changed, becoming a pool of blood that slowly dwindled in size until it became less than a few inches, his humanoid shape becoming clearer as the size continued to reduce until he became a single inch! As he used the ability, he made it so that not a single aura of power leaked from him, the presence he gave off being even less stimulating than the plants that gave off abundant essence around him.
In the surroundings of the fantastical environment of the Celestial Realm where everything was filled with overflowing essence, a being that could barely be seen by the n.a.k.e.d eye that did not have even an aura of essence would be nearly impossible to find unless someone powerful was specifically looking for them appeared!
The miniaturized Ancient Blood Clone looked up towards the now even grander forest around him, even the small swaying grasses seeming multiple times larger than his own figure as the earth below him that was abundant in essence expanded even further. The ancient trees that were tens of meters tall looked even more massive, the cover of all of these magical surroundings making him feel extremely safe.
The size of the miniaturized Spiritual Land became even smaller than him, less than one tenth of an inch as it was anchored to his left hand, the golden arrow coming from it reflecting in size as the clone smiled, its body still bubbling with enormous power as it shot forth in the cover of numerous grasses where the arrow indicated!
He was moving in an extremely covert manner as while he moved beneath the numerous plants and foliage, not a single disturbance occurred in the fantastical surroundings of his location. His goal was to find out exactly where [Treasure Hunter] would lead him, and that was it. What would happen after that would be determined by what exactly he came to find.
His main body had been moving with the Righteous Fire Exploration Team the past few days, their hunts gradually giving him more and more information as he knew what terrible Behemoths could be found in the nearby areas that he was advised to keep away from.
The explored areas near the Sanctum were filled with Normal Behemoths, their strength varying in ranks but almost all of them being stably at the Soul Forging Realm. Because of their unique enormous bodies and proficiencies in laws, tens of normal Soul Rank individuals were required to take them down, or the most powerful Exploration Teams from the Celestials like the Righteous Fire hunting team.
Going even further out would put you at risk of coming around the Domain of an Elite Behemoth, which would almost certainly guarantee death for any Normal Team!
The Celestials warned Normal Teams to be extremely careful of entering a domain of such Celestial Beasts because as the name implies, these Elite Beasts would common
ly have power at the Domain Expansion Realm!
That was a shocking realm that the Celestial Grandmasters held, their power being immensely powerful as they formed what was called Elite Exploration teams to hunt down such Behemoths.
Some of these Behemoths could have a rank at the Soul Forging Realm, but if they were proficient in a Supreme Law, it automatically placed them at the Elite Behemoth level. Some could be half a step into the Domain Expansion realm, this small advancement added to their already terrifying bodies allowing them to also be ranked as Elite Behemoths. Of course, the Behemoths that had already stepped into the Domain Expansion Realm were the most powerful at the Elite Rank, needing a team of Grandmasters to fully take them down.
What Noah currently dreaded the most was coming face to face with an Elite Behemoth, as he knew it would mean a very arduous and nearly impossible mission for his clone, but the further out he continued to follow the golden arrow, the more somber he became as he also grew more excited!
His miniaturized figure continued running speedily beneath the cover of its surroundings, coming to a stop after an hour as he felt the overflowing aura of a Behemoth filled with the Fire Element.
He stopped his quick movements as he climbed the grasses that were huge proportionate to his size, peeking from beneath the earth as he did not use any of his skills that allowed him to spread out his aura to check his surroundings. As long as he didn't use any mana in this place where even plants overflowed with immense mana, even the extremely perceptive Behemoths would not be able to locate him.
The Fire Behemoth he came across adopted similar features to the ones he had been coming across as he moved with the Righteous Fire Exploration Team, this one looking similar to an oversized Iguana that was slowly strolling through the mystical swaying trees.
Noah observed this powerful beast as he finally came across a Behemoth while moving alone, the presence of it being at the Normal Level being apparent as Noah was confident in being able to take it down with time.
He glanced at the calm surroundings and the Fire Behemoth that continued to stroll undisturbed as he smiled as returned back under the shade of the grasses, continuing towards where the golden arrow pointed as he marked the location of this Behemoth.
He had used the abilities of {Herald of Fate} to determine the best pathway for him to take that would cause the least chaos for his mission, and it told him to continue on his path towards where the golden arrow pointed to!
So for now, he only marked the location of this Behemoth as he continued forward, fully trusting the abilities of {Herald of Fate} as they lead him to upgrade [Blood Lord] skill tree that made possible for the Ancient Blood Clone to come to life, as well as the reminder for the profound uses of the Spiritual Land that he was currently using right now.
A single Fire Behemoth was not hard to find in the close proximity of the Sanctum, and he could come to find one whenever he wished to start a long and arduous battle with it alone. But his goal currently was the location where the golden arrow that the unique feature of the Spiritual Land, [Treasure Hunter], was pointing to. After he ascertained exactly what was considered a treasure in the eyes of this ability and got his hands on it, he would hunt all the Behemoths he could!
Chapter 381 - Hidden Beneath a Mountain!
The miniaturized Ancient Blood Clone continued to go further and further away from the sanctum as he came across a few monstrous auras of Fire Behemoths, marking all of their locations as he continued forward and mapped out the fantastical areas of the Celestial Realm himself.
He had come across and taken down a few Fire Behemoths with the Righteous Fire Exploration Team over the past few days, each time getting his hands on a piece of the large beasts' bodies as he went on to create another 4 Pieces of the Incandescent Flameborn Set, the other four pieces being the b.r.e.a.s.tplate, leggings, boots, and armguards. All he had left to craft was the crown and he would have all 6 pieces of the powerful set.
The boosts of these items were not a joke either, Noah looking at their description as the clone continued speedily moving towards an unknown location.
[B.r.e.a.s.tplate of Simmering Ember] :: An item created from the wrathful body of a Behemoth. +150% Enhanced Defense, +50% Fire Element Resistance, +50% Increased All Element Resistance, and Grants the ability of Extreme Heat Resistance.
[Leggings of Simmering Ember] :: An item created from the wrathful body of a Behemoth. +100% Enhanced Defense, +50% Fire Element Resistance, +50% Increased All Element Resistance.
[Boots of Simmering Ember] :: An item created from the wrathful body of a Behemoth. +50% Movement Speed, +50% Enhanced Defense, +25% Fire Element Resistance, +25% Increased All Element Resistance. Unaffected by the burning grounds they stand on.
[Armguards of the Simmering Ember] :: An item created from the wrathful body of a Behemoth. +25% Enhanced Attack and Cast Speed, +25% Enhanced Defense, +25% Fire Element Resistance, +25% Increased All Element Resistance.
The items had huge boosts when it came to withstanding the attacks of flame Behemoths, making them top tier pieces of armor to wear for anyone traversing the Northern region that was filled with Flame Behemoths.
The Glaive that was of the fire element would actually deal less damage to these same behemoths as they were extremely proficient in the Law of Fire, with Noah needed to find a weapon or the water element similar to the ones that Boru and his team carried to gain extra battle power against Flame Behemoths.
He put this in the back of his mind as he focused on carefully following the golden arrow forward, noticing that the arrow was now blinking!
This made him excited as it indicated he was actually nearing the supposed location!
He continued traveling below the waving grasses as he observed the ground he was running on gradually becoming elevated as he continued forward, this actually causing a change to the arrow as instead of pointing straight, it began to edge further downwards as he continued following the ascending ground.
He brought himself to a stop as he climbed the grasses around him, picking his tiny head to observe the surroundings more as he confirmed he was now beginning to go up an enormous volcanic mountain that had bubbling molten earth at the top. This mountain covered his entire sight as he could barely discern its peak or where it ended as it encompassed everything around him.
The surroundings were much hotter than the explored regions near the Sanctum as a dangerous feeling was permeating all throughout this mountain.
The Ancient Blood Clone's face hardened as he realized that the golden arrow had begun pointing downwards the moment he began ascending the mountain, which meant that whatever treasure it pointed to was located at the bottom of this enormous volcanic mountain!
He took a deep breath as he changed his tactics, his body glancing at the earth below him as his figure disappeared beneath it. His speed became unbearably slower as he used the tiniest amount of power to allow his small body to drill through the extremely hard earth, following the blinking golden arrow as it continued leading him to an unknown location, and this particular location was in the middle of an enormous volcanic mountain in the Celestial Realm. More than half an hour passed as he continued to drill further and further down, the only thing around him being gradually reddening earth.
SHAAA!
The figure of the clone came to a stop after some time as it broke through the layers of earth that were getting hotter and hotter, actually finding himself breaking through an enormous underground Cavern that had a powerful red tint from the overflowing lava and molten earth that could be seen from all around!
He had pierced through the layers of this enormous mountain and arrived at this expansive underground Cavern that was actually tens of miles wide, seeming like an entirely new world to the miniaturized Noah.
What was shocking about this lava filled cavern he had found himself in though, was the single mountainous Behemoth that was lazily floating atop the sea of lava!
The eyes of the Ancient B
lood Clone widened as they landed on this regal but monstrous beast as he shook his head exasperatingly.
'Haaa...thats a f.u.c.k.i.n.g Elite Behemoth isn't it?'
Noah stared into the expansive cavern where molten lava flowed from all around while a single monstrous beast floated atop this flowing molten earth peacefully.
The aura coming off its body was that of an oppressive beast that could devour everything, but Noah's mood slightly became better after he noticed that the overpowering feeling wasn't exactly the same as Grandmaster Vredral who at the Domain Expansion Realm.
Yet...this being had a hint of that aura, making Noah believe that this was a Behemoth that was half a step into the Domain Expansion Realm, and this still classified it as an Elite Behemoth!
The clone released a tense breath as it observed not too far from the immense Behemoth, there was an exquisitely raised pedestal that was filled with ancient runic lines, and at the top of this pedestal there lay a brilliantly shining red crystal that caused his heart to tighten just from looking. The golden arrow from the [Treasure Hunter] of the Spiritual Lana was blinking rapidly at this moment, seemingly trembling with excitement as it had reached the goal it was pointing to as it began to slowly fade away. The eyes of the Ancient Blood Clone glowed a sharp light as he finally came upon a treasure in the Celestial Realm!
This apparent treasure was actually protected by a beast that would normally be taken down by an Elite Team of Celestial Grandmasters, even if it fell on the weakest side that could possibly be hunted by the strongest Normal Exploration Teams like Boru's that now had the addition of Noah's main body and Athena.
The main issue remained the same though! Whatever this fantastical treasure that the Spiritual Land's [Treasure Hunter] had led him to was, to get his hands on it, he had to get past this powerful Fire Behemoth that was half a step into the Domain Expansion Realm!
