878 Fire Authority

"Yeah. I have a rough direction for it, so I will probably be fine."

"I see. Then you take care of yourself. I am not sure what kind of world it will be, so you should watch out and summon the others if needed."

"Sure. Thank you for your consideration." Alex nodded before turning to Zark. "I leave her to you."

"Yes, Master." Zark bowed politely and created a Teleportation Array. Lin Xingzhi waved her hand until she disappeared.

Alex nodded and waved back. After they disappeared, Alex turned around, looking at the far horizon. "This way, I guess. Since it's pretty far, I probably need a day to reach that place, considering I need to use a Rank 9 Teleportation a few thousand times. Haiz… I can finally see how big the universe is.

"If a Teleportation Array can send me one light-year, which is around three hundred thousand kilometers, it's a few thousand light-years away from me. I wonder how long I need to travel to head to a planet a million light-years away. Huft…

"There is a theory that I can solve that distance if I can enter the Black Hole. I need to ask Lin Xingzhi about this later." Alex thought for a moment before finally teleporting himself toward that direction.

Just like how he predicted, he created around four thousand Teleportation Arrays before finally arriving at a world of his target.

And he was a bit exhausted. Considering a Teleportation Array didn't really need much Divine Energy, he managed to do it in one go. Still, he might need to rest for a bit after entering this planet.

"If only there is a combined Teleportation Arrays… Well, I should say Teleportation Formation. I believe a grand Formation with ten Teleportation Array can send me a hundred light years away instead of ten. And there is this warp gate… It contains around a thousand Teleportation Arrays, or that was what I saw earlier."

Alex pinched the bridge of his nose while glancing at this red planet. This planet was slightly bigger than the Upper World and had bountiful Fire Energy inside.

When he searched for the atmosphere of this world along with the will that protected this world, he could only see a thin atmosphere as if this world was on the verge of dying.

He shook his head and entered the world.

His vision soon filled with lava and the flash of fire that was hopping around from one hole to another as if there was a magnet pulling them. He smelled the air and noticed it was filled with sulfur. Luckily, a molecule like this couldn't affect his Divine Body, so he didn't care about it.

Then, his eyes met a giant mountain far to his left.

Alex took out the scroll again and read it once again.

"This technique allowed the former Fire God, Phitrus, to become unrivaled to those who wielded fire. After all, this Divine Technique can control them with just a single command. Now that I have reached God Stage, I can finally see how scary this technique is…

"I don't know how many people I can suppress at once, but if it's able to affect the others to the point they can't do anything, then I don't think I will lose to any fire cultivators again.

"And I should use the Fire Authority to activate this scroll to reveal the position." Alex thought for a moment and commanded, "Fire, Arise!"

Alex's Pure Fire suddenly seeped inside the scroll before the latter glowed. The scroll seemed to be pulling him somewhere, but he couldn't tell where the scroll wanted to bring him.

"As expected, the technique is in this world, but I need to get closer first, so the scroll can guide me." Alex sighed and decided to fly around to recover his Divine Energy.

After that, he started his journey aimlessly, hoping that the scroll would react soon.

Three days later.

"!!!"

The scroll suddenly moved slightly to the left, showing the way to the original technique. Alex immediately turned around until the scroll changed direction again, adjusting the target position.

This piqued his interest, considering he was near the volcano.

"Ehm… Don't tell me." Alex squinted his eyes and activated his Spirit Eyes. There was this glowing ball inside the volcano's stomach.

"I guess it can't be helped."

He flew to the top of the volcano and dove down as if jumping into the water. This was not a problem for him as he kept doing it without any problem until he saw a tunnel.

The light was also there, so he followed the path.

Due to the pressure inside, the lava didn't fill this entire cave with magma, allowing Alex to walk.

At the end of the cave, there was a glowing monolith with many words written on it.

He activated his Spirit Eyes to better see this situation, checking if there were any traps around it. However, the energy from the stone didn't go anywhere, so he believed this place was safe.

Alex started walking toward it before the stone lit up once more, startling Alex.

"As expected, this one has a trap." Alex sighed and checked his surroundings to see what would happen to this place.

Suddenly, an image of a middle-aged man appeared in front of him.

"Heya, it is me, your favorite Fire God, Phitrus."

"…" Alex twitched his eyebrows. He never had any favorite Gods, so he was slightly amazed by how shameless this Phitrus to jump into a conclusion like this.

"This is just an image of me recorded by the Memory Crystal in that stone over there. And the words written on it is not the technique itself. The inheritance is this image of mine because I will be explaining to you how you can master the real Fire Authority.

"Since this image can only be opened by my Godly Pure Fire, I am sure you are the one I have been waiting for, Alexander Sirius.

"Haiz, you should have become my disciple instead, but to think you rejected it in the past. I was very disappointed at that time. Well, it didn't really matter since you turned up to me for one last time."

"…" Alex frowned, noticing his speech was a bit weird. However, he couldn't see what was weird.

"In any case, this technique allows me to govern over Fire. Even if I am only a Rank 10 God, I can suppress a Rank 5 God and kill him before he can do anything about the suppression. This is also the reason I can reach the pinnacle, so you should use it carefully because many will covet this technique.

"Without further ado, I will explain my technique.

"This Fire Authority is the embodiment of your Pure Fire. In other words, your avatar. There are two stages for this Fire Authority, Summoning and Fusion. This is my Avatar."

The Fire arose from within the image's body, turning into a giant. The giant was made of flame and ten times taller than a human. He had a long beard and had a fire spear in his hand.

The Pure Fire in his body grew restless as if something was bothering it.

"This was just a shred of my avatar that I left behind. If it was the real one, you might have kneeled when it made its appearance. I called this Avatar, Flame Lord. As you can see, I can control the Flame Lord itself, using that spear of his. I was a Spear User in the past after all. Though, to be honest, the power of the spear is not that great, you see. So, I don't really recommend it.

"The only weakness of this technique is the consumption. It's so big, so it will be hard to fight in a continuous battle. Well, this Divine Technique can be considered a peak one, so you can expect the battle efficiency.

"And the second form is this…"

The Flame Lord gradually shrank before coming into his body. Suddenly, his appearance changed due to the appearance of armor. It covered his body and legs only, but he felt it would be able to extend to other parts of his body as well if needed.

"This is the Fusion Stage. In this stage, you can wield the ability of the Flame Lord. Well, I haven't told you the usage… So, I will tell you now. The Flame Lord can wield my Fire to the highest degree. Or you can say to my absolute potential.

"Although a part of its power loses in this Fusion Stage, this form is more leaned to combat, especially high-speed battle, so I preferred this form."

Alex looked at it with his Spirit Eyes, noticing that the power of the technique was compressed a little bit. Although it wasn't as powerful as the giant size, the fire was more stable and fluid. If the giant form needed some moments to use it, this one didn't need to wait at all.

Besides, with a body that big, it would become the target, so he also thought the Fusion Stage was better.

"This is my Fire Authority. And as I said earlier, you need to first form the Avatar of your flame before working on the fusion. For this, you need an image to keep the form up. I think you won't be able to achieve fusion soon because it will be pretty complex, so I hope you can learn about this First Stage first. The details are like this…"
