Chapter 227: Skyfire Hunt Begin
However, it didn’t end with him at Immortal Foundation stage, his aura kept gushing as the Death Energy Aiden collected was from completely absorbed by him.

he begin to move to next stage of Immortal Lord.

As Eeh’liel’s transformation continued, he underwent another significant metamorphosis. His form began to radiate an even more intense, dark light, heralding his advancement to the Immortal Lord stage. The energy around him intensified, creating an oppressive atmosphere that seemed to distort reality itself.

Eeh’liel’s skeletal structure evolved once more, becoming more majestic and regal. The silver streaks on his bones transformed into intricate, glowing runes and sigils that pulsed with immense power. His once skeletal frame now had an ethereal, ghostly quality, with dark, flowing robes of energy that trailed behind him like spectral veils. His aura now had an almost tangible weight, exuding dominance and authority.

The ascension to Immortal Lord granted Eeh’liel access to an even greater level of power and control. His manipulation of death energy reached another level, allowing him to wield vast, destructive abilities with ease. His presence alone could bend the wills of weaker beings, and his command over the forces of death became more powerful.

As Eeh’liel ascended to Immortal Lord, his Martial Spirit, the Crown of the Undead Palace, also underwent a profound evolution. The Martial Spirit’s form and function became more complex and potent, reflecting Eeh’liel’s newfound power.

The Crown of the Undead Palace transformed into a grand, spectral throne, adorned with dark, shimmering crystals and skull motifs. It exuded a powerful aura of death and dominion. The once abstract, ethereal crown now had a tangible, formidable presence, with dark tendrils of energy weaving through its design.

He also formed his own Realm, as he ascended to Immortal Stage.

Realm Characteristics:

Dark Majesty: The realm had an aura of regal darkness, with grand, shadowy halls and a throne room that radiated an oppressive yet majestic energy.

Death Dominion: Within this realm, Eeh’liel’s control over death was absolute. He could summon and command legions of undead beings, manipulate the environment, and harness death energy to its fullest extent.

Eternal Twilight: The realm was bathed in an eternal twilight, creating an atmosphere of ceaseless dusk that enhanced the dark and mysterious nature of the Undead Palace.

As Eeh’liel completed his transformation, he stood poised at the High Stage of the Immortal Lord realm, his presence radiating immense power and authority.

With the final touches of his ascension settled, Eeh’liel, now a formidable Immortal Lord, expressed his readiness to serve Aiden with utmost devotion.

“Master, now that I am more powerful, I am better equipped to serve you,” Eeh’liel said, his voice imbued with deep respect and resolve. He bowed gracefully, his skeletal form shimmering with a spectral glow. “What is your command, Master?”

Aiden, comfortably seated on the dark throne that Eeh’liel had conjured, replied with a hint of satisfaction, “There is a special living flame in this forest, hidden and exhibiting characteristics of life. Find it for me.”

Eeh’liel nodded solemnly, his resolve unwavering. He tapped his staff on the ground, and a surge of shadowy energy emanated from him. Shadows extended and transformed into small, mouse-like creatures, which scattered in all directions, seeking out the elusive flame.

“I will find it, Master,” Eeh’liel assured, his tone confident and determined.

As Eeh’liel set to work, he created a grand, dark throne for Aiden, adorned with intricate designs and imbued with a soothing, otherworldly comfort. Aiden settled into the throne, feeling its luxurious embrace. It was so comfortable that Aiden felt he could easily fall asleep at any moment.

Aiden thought to himself, “As expected, if you have such powerful allies working for you, why should you exert yourself?” The throne’s comfort and Eeh’liel’s efficient service were proof of the advantages of having powerful, loyal subordinates.

Aiden relaxed, letting the throne’s cushioned support lull him into a state of ease, while Eeh’liel’s shadow creatures scoured the forest for the hidden flame.

Aiden fell into a deep sleep, lulled by the comfort of the grand throne. The tranquil night wrapped around him as he awaited the results of Eeh’liel’s search for the hidden flame.

During the night, Aiden stirred from his sleep, only to find himself lying on a king-sized bed bathed in moonlight. Two skeletal servants were gently waving fans to keep him cool. The soft glow of the moon illuminated the forest, casting serene shadows around him.

There were also some strong looking undeads watching the perimeters as well as many beast dead body piling up at one corner, seeing this Aiden collected the Death Energy of them to.

As Aiden stretched and prepared to leave the bed, he noticed one of the skeletal servants clattering something on the floor. Eeh’liel emerged from the shadow with a respectful bow. “Master, I have found it,” he announced, his voice reverberating with an eerie calm.

Aiden nodded, acknowledging Eeh’liel’s report. Just as he was about to get out of bed, Eeh’liel summoned four massive skeletons. They efficiently lifted the bed, preparing to transport him to the location of the hidden flame.

Aiden shrugged with a slight smile, appreciating the convenience. He reclined back on the bed, his gaze drifting to the night sky. The stars shimmered above, their light reflecting softly on the moonlit bed.

As the skeletal servants moved steadily through the forest, Aiden remained relaxed, enjoying the serene night sky and the gentle motion of his transport. The skeletal entourage carried him through the darkened woods, ensuring he would arrive at the flame’s location in comfort and style.

Soon, they arrived at a stunning lake, shaped like a crescent moon, with the moonlight shimmering on its surface. White flowers dotted the shore, creating a mesmerizing and serene scene.

Aiden stepped off the bed and surveyed the surroundings. “Where is it?” he asked.

Eeh’liel gestured toward the lake.

“You mean it’s inside the lake?” Aiden asked, surprised.

Eeh’liel nodded in confirmation and waved his hand, summoning two black domes that enveloped them. They began their descent into the lake, and Aiden observed that it was much deeper than it initially appeared.

Together, they ventured to the lake’s center, where they discovered a submerged cave. As they entered the cave, it led them into an expansive underwater cavern system. Despite the underwater environment, the cave was lush with greenery, a stark contrast to the typical barren underwater caves.

In the center of the cavern stood a colossal tree, its branches stretching out majestically.

“That tree houses the Skyfire you seek, Master,” Eeh’liel explained, pointing to the massive tree.

The cave was illuminated by the gentle glow of bioluminescent flora, casting an ethereal light over the scene. The tree, standing tall and imposing, seemed to pulse with an ancient energy, promising great power and mystery within its core.

“Master, the skyfire poses challenge to everyone who wants to claim it, its would be best if you overcome the challenge yourself and claim it for your self” Eeh’liel siad as he explained to Aiden.

Aiden nodded and advanced, but as he took his first step forward, the plants around him ignited with green flames.

Aiden smirked at the challenge set before him by the Skyfire. He summoned his Golden Martial Spirit and invoked its Golden Flames, enveloping himself in a protective, liquid-gold fire. As he moved forward, the green flames from the plants attempted to engulf him, but the golden flames shielded him from their heat.

He pressed on, feeling the temperature rise with each step closer to the massive tree. The heat intensified, and by the time he was just 100 meters away, Aiden was sweating profusely, his skin beginning to feel the burn.

“As expected of Skyfire,” he mumbled to himself, activating Soul Ice to provide additional protection. At the 50-meter mark, he used Death Embrace to shield himself from the extreme heat, and when he was only 10 meters away, he summoned Hell Flames for extra defense.

With his clothes reduced to ashes and his skin turning red from the intense heat, Aiden took one final step, feeling his skin begin to melt. Gritting his teeth, he took a step back and sat down to meditate, determined to overcome the trial.

“I will overcome this trial,” he said, focusing his gaze on the towering tree, resolute in his quest to claim the Skyfire.

Days passed as Aiden continued to meditate just 10 meters from the Skyfire tree, maintaining his cultivation technique amidst the searing heat. His dedication to meditation allowed him to adapt to the extreme conditions, and the Hell Flames he conjured grew stronger as they absorbed the green flames surrounding him.

During this time, his Hell Soul Cultivation technique began to show signs of breaking through to the next stage. By the fourth day of his intense meditation, Aiden’s cultivation had progressed significantly, pushing him into the Middle Stage of the Immortal Foundation Realm.

The relentless heat and the energy from the Skyfire tree contributed to his rapid advancement, and his mastery over the Hell Flames deepened, reflecting the effectiveness of his continuous efforts.
