Chapter 257: Sunfire Cape

‘These are the flames! This is the fire of the sun!’

The flames derived from the pure power of light might seem strange but were actually normal on second thought. Fire and light were inseparable. Even the fire and light in the One God religion were closely related. The strongest angel of the Only God religion was called a seraph, which meant ‘the burning one’. The weapon of the protector and the leader of the army of God—Archangel Michael—was none other than a scarlet flaming sword.

‘I was thinking of planting the Hibiscus Tree, but it seems like I don’t need it anymore. I already have the flame attribute.’

Lin Yao didn’t dawdle outside for too long. Wanting to know the exact changes in himself, he sank his mind into his Sea of Consciousness, observing the three sacred trees.

After a round of careful observation, Lin Yao discovered that the three sacred trees had all benefited from this epiphany.

However, as the Tree of Heaven Punishment and the Bodhi Tree were not that compatible with the sun, they had only benefited slightly.

The gains of the Tree of Heaven Punishment were higher than those of the Heavenly Thunder. When lightning struck a flammable object, there was a possibility of it causing a fire. If the Heavenly Thunder were to strike flammable items, flames would inevitably be produced, and this fire would be the Flame of Sun.

The gains of the Bodhi Tree were reflected on the golden cicada. Now, Cicada Chirp—Clear Sound could immerse one in the feeling of attending summer classes more easily. As for Cicada Chirp—Demonic Sound, its sound would make one feel as irritable and grumpy as if one had not had a drop of water after basking under the scorching, hot sun in the summer for an entire day.

Generally speaking, although the two sacred trees had improved, their improvements were very little.

As for the Celestial Tree, its changes were very drastic.

This epiphany had even changed the appearance of the Celestial Tree. The original Celestial Tree had been like a Tree of Light forged with platinum. Now, the entire tree still seemed as if it was made of platinum, but all the leaves looked like inextinguishable, golden flames. Even the angelic holy infant living at the top of the huge tree had undergone a transformation. A scarlet-and-gold Sunfire Sword had appeared in his little hand, and the angelic holy infant was holding it tightly in its arms.

Due to the drastic change in its appearance, naturally, the Celestial Tree’s attributes had also changed.

[Celestial Tree (Sunfire)]

[State: Growth Stage (100,000/1,000,000]

[Level: Gold Person (King Potential)]

[Talent 1 Body of Sun LV1: The host can now absorb sunlight (MAX LV) and store it in his cells. The host can use the stored sunlight to replace energy, physical strength, and energy consumption. At the same time, when there is an abundance of sunlight in the host’s cells, the host will obtain the talents of Light Healing (high-level), Light Purification (high-level), Body of Sun (LV1, full 300% bonus for all attributes), and Light Adjustment (high-level). At the same time, the host can cultivate techniques with the yang attribute more easily.]

[Note: The host has comprehended the power of the sun’s fire by visualizing the sun and obtained the Great Sun God Pattern (LV1). This god pattern can store sunlight. The amount stored is ten times that of the host’s body. At the same time, with the Great Sun God Pattern, when the host releases vital energy with the yang attribute, the prowess will increase by 30%, the consumption will decrease by 30%, and the attack abilities and defense moves with the yang attribute will increase by 30%.]

[Talent 2: Angel (Holy Infant)]

[Ability 1 Angel’s Descent: The Tree of Light absorbs the angel’s power and nurtures a new angel. Since it is nurtured by the host, it will be the host’s guardian angel. When the angel grows to a certain level, the host can summon the angel’s will to be attached to the host, turning the Armored Body Of Light into the Angel Body.]

[Ability 2Brave Soul: The angel power absorbed by the Tree of Light is derived from the angel’s Virtues. It is the middle-order, fifth-in-rank angel among the nine levels of angels that are grouped into three orders. It is God’s virtue, which adds bold and unshakable courage to its actions. These angels are performers of miracles, best friends of heroes, and tireless fighters. They give courage to the righteous people who suffer. Now that the host has gained Brave Soul, the host will be fearless and have strong willpower.]

[Ability 3 Sunfire Sword LV1: As the host has comprehended the conception of the Sunfire by visualizing the sun, the host has condensed the Sunfire Sword. When he casts Angel’s Descent, he can summon the Sunfire Sword. He can also summon it separately on its own.]

[Talent 3Lord of Light (Sunfire): Those who are favored by angels are close to the light. The host can manipulate the surrounding light elements to make them act according to the host’s will. In the meantime, the host can temporarily grant their power of light to others in the domain affected by the host. As the sun has comprehended the power of sunfire, after consuming a huge amount of the power of light, the host can use himself as the epicenter and create the Sunfire Boundary. When the host is within the boundary, his opponents will be scorched and burnt by the sun’s fire at all times. Insidious people, as well as those who have committed many sins, will receive twice the damage.]

‘The Body of Sun, Great Sun God Pattern, Sunfire Sword, and Sunfire Boundary. There are so many changes. There’s a reason why many geniuses pursue epiphany opportunities.’

Just one epiphany had more than doubled Lin Yao’s strength. What made him even more elated was that as he became stronger, his Celestial Tree had also gained 10,000 grams of energy.

However, Lin Yao also felt strange when he looked at the newly acquired abilities, especially the Sunfire Boundary. He felt that this resembled the Sunfire Cape ability of certain games too much.

‘Wait a minute. It’s not as if I can’t create a Sunfire Cape. If I combine the Sunfire Boundary with the guardian holy seal, aka holy garment, and make the holy garment, which is purely used for protection, carry the Sunfire Boundary (which can burn the surrounding enemies), wouldn’t this be the Sunfire Cape?’

The more Lin Yao thought about it, the more he felt that this was feasible. However, what he didn’t know was that breaking the original limitations of the skills and combining them with the other skills was an advancement of combat skills from profoundness to the acme of perfection. If Lin Yao could integrate the skills successfully, he could even use the Sunfire Cape as his gold foundation.

Of course, the guardian holy seal on its own was only at the gold level. Lin Yao did not think highly of it even though it could carry the Sunfire Boundary. He was very ambitious and wanted to build his own gold foundation with king combat skills. He had originally planned to use the Heaven and Earth Brilliant Tyrannic Punch, which was the reason he had come to the Heaven and Earth Dojo.

After finding out that this combat skill was the simplified version of Heaven and Earth Manifestation, Lin Yao didn’t give up. Instead, he felt more excited.

‘If I use Heaven and Earth Manifestation as a foundation, I’ll benefit greatly even if I gain a superficial understanding.’

The ambitious Lin Yao was not prepared to give up on Heaven and Earth Manifestation. He would have to take some time to research it then.

‘It’s time to go back.’

His mind returned to reality from the Sea of Consciousness. The first thing Lin Yao saw was his cheap master trembling all over with excitement, which gave him a big shock.

Fortunately, although Elder Wei was old, he was still strong and healthy because of martial arts. He didn’t collapse or suffer a stroke because of his excitement. Instead, he spoke to Lin Yao enthusiastically. “Lin Yao, what did you comprehend? No, you don’t need to tell me. Tell me what you need. The Heaven and Earth Dojo will do its best to support you!”

After he said that, Elder Wei had a sudden impulse to entrust the Heaven and Earth Dojo to Lin Yao. One could not blame him for being that emotional. It was because he had seen hope, not only for the dojo but also for his own future.

Attracted by the Heaven and Earth Furnace and Heaven and Earth Visualization methods, he had spent several decades with the Heaven and Earth Dojo. His ability to successfully cultivate these techniques, albeit their simplified versions, went to show that he was a genius. After all, the simplified versions of the Heaven and Earth Dojo Furnace and Heaven and Rivers and Mountains Visualization techniques were extremely difficult to learn.

However, although he was very talented, these techniques were more profound. Over the past few decades, the more he’d researched, the more he’d realized he didn’t know. He had reached a bottleneck in his advancement to a king due to these doubts.

This was the case for the entire higher-ups of the Heaven and Earth Dojo. As geniuses, they were extremely arrogant. Attracted by the profound techniques obtained from the legacy sites, they had wanted to learn these techniques and attain great power.

Unfortunately, due to the lack of talent or some other reasons, the higher-ups of the Heaven and Earth Dojo had been stuck at the level below the king level and wasted decades.

Of course, these geniuses felt indignant. However, the Heaven and Earth Furnace and Heaven and Earth Visualization were too difficult. They were the pioneers, but they could only grope their way forward. Aside from feeling indignant, they were also in utter despair.

Just as they started to get desperate, Lin Yao appeared. He had two epiphanies within a short period of two days, with one of them occurring when he was cultivating Heaven and Earth Visualization. His talent was compatible with the Heaven and Earth Visualization. How could Elder Wei’s eyes not light up when he’d discovered such a genius?

‘We are not trapped because of the lack of endowments, but because the techniques are incomplete and too demanding. If Lin Yao really cultivates the Heaven and Earth Furnace and Heaven and Earth Visualization successfully and gives us some pointers, we might be able to break through!

‘Even if we’re unable to cultivate it successfully after his advice, Lin Yao can also simplify the techniques. This way, we will be able to practice them.’
