Chapter 383: Chapter 205: Advancing to Elemental Mage, the Sublimation of Life’s Essence

In the Meditation Room.

After drawing the final line, Pei Ze looked at the completed Elemental Activity Array on the floor, a satisfied expression on his face.

Igniting the Elemental Fire would absorb a massive amount of elemental energy. The aftermath would be like a vacuum pump, creating an elemental torrent. The slightest misstep could level the entire mansion.

Therefore, it was best to set up an Elemental Activity Array to gather sufficient elemental energy before attempting the breakthrough.

Before long, the entire Meditation Room was saturated with Thunder Elemental Energy, so dense that the air itself took on a faint, bluish-white hue.

Meanwhile, nearly all other types of elemental energy had been completely repelled.

Pei Ze focused his senses and, feeling that it was about time, sat down cross-legged and began to ignite his Elemental Fire.

Closing his eyes, Pei Ze’s chest rose and fell slowly. The surging elemental energy within him gradually formed a faint elemental tide.

As time passed, this reaction intensified until Pei Ze himself became like a vortex, frantically absorbing the surrounding Thunder Elemental Energy.

The speed of this absorption clearly outpaced the influx of the elements, creating an elemental vacuum around him.

Fortunately, the Elemental Activity Array was constantly drawing in more Thunder Elemental Energy to replenish the supply, so he didn’t have to worry about the breakthrough being interrupted due to a lack of energy.

At the same time, deep within Pei Ze’s mind, his three Spirit Crystals shattered one after another as if struck by an invisible, heavy blow. They crumbled into countless star-like motes of light that converged into a hazy nebula.

In an instant, it was as if a Star River had appeared in his mind.

He took a deep breath, knowing the breakthrough had reached its most critical moment. He quickly focused his mind, concentrating all his will into an invisible shockwave that he slammed viciously into the center of the Star River.

A roar echoed in his mind. Amidst the violent collision, a single, incomparably pure spark of fire was suddenly born.

Time seemed to stand still for a moment. In the next second, the surrounding motes of light scrambled toward the spark, becoming fuel that strengthened the flame.

Simultaneously, even more elemental energy converged, frantically washing over Pei Ze’s body.

Pain!

Excruciating pain!

In that instant, Pei Ze felt as if he was being torn apart. It was like scraping the flesh from his own bones, a tidal wave of intense agony sweeping over his entire body.

If not for his unyielding will, he would have likely let out an agonized howl by now.

An unknown amount of time passed before the spark deep in his mind finally grew into a small flame.

The heat from the flame turned into a warm current that flowed through him. Pei Ze’s ravaged flesh and bones began to mend as trickles of elemental energy seeped into his body, as if to merge with him completely.

During this process, Pei Ze keenly sensed a fundamental change occurring in his body, a kind of sublimation.

After another unknown stretch of time, when the last wisp of elemental energy had seeped deep into his body, Pei Ze slowly opened his eyes and let out a breath of relief.

"I finally did it!"

He looked at his hands, then lightly snapped his fingers. A brilliant wisp of lightning instantly appeared at his fingertip, dancing restlessly.

Pei Ze could keenly feel that his control over the power of thunder elements had far surpassed what it was before. Now, with just a thought, he could automatically gather a surging, immense amount of elemental energy within his body.

In his perception, it was as if he had become a part of the dense Thunder Elemental Energy in the Meditation Room, able to command it as easily as moving his own limbs.

"So this is body elementalization? It’s incredible!"

Pei Ze was filled with joy.

The information Mo Weng had given him described the effects of body elementalization.

First was an increased resistance to most forms of physical damage.

Essentially, the degree of elementalization determined the percentage of physical damage reduction.

If one could achieve one hundred percent elementalization, they would be completely immune to physical damage.

Of course, achieving this was incredibly difficult.

After all, even a Divine Spirit’s [True God Form] was only immune to the vast majority of physical attacks.

The vast majority of Elemental Mages could only elementalize their bodies to about eighty percent.

Second, body elementalization would significantly increase one’s saves against all types of Magic, including raising one’s resistance to elemental energy attacks.

This was especially true for the corresponding elemental energy used for elementalization, against which one could become almost completely immune.

For example, since Pei Ze had used thunder elements to elementalize his body, it meant that Thunder Elemental Energy would have a very difficult time harming him.

When his elementalization reached a certain stage, thunder element attacks directed at him would instead be absorbed and converted into his own energy—essentially healing him.

—Unless it was Thunder Elemental Energy of a higher tier than his own!

Therefore, when two Elemental Mages who controlled the same element fought, the one with the higher degree of elementalization would almost always be the victor.

Pei Ze closed his eyes, focusing his senses on the depths of his mind.

The place where the Spirit Crystals had once been was now occupied by an incomparably pure flame.

The flame flickered and burned slowly, and its every sway would faintly resonate with the surrounding elemental energy.

What surprised Pei Ze was that the flame was actually white.

’According to the information, the Elemental Fire is usually bluish-white, but the higher its quality, the more its color tends toward pure white.’

Pei Ze looked at the dazzlingly white Elemental Fire deep in his mind.

’Does this mean I have the highest quality Elemental Fire?’

A jolt of delight went through Pei Ze’s heart.

His great effort to raise his thunder element affinity and constitution to the highest level had not been in vain.

And his Spiritual Power level, which far surpassed that of an ordinary Wizard, must have also played a part.
