Extraordinary Voyage-Chapter 817 - 701: Encounter by the Wayside

Boom——!

"Aiven" stepped forward with a punch, the terrifying force stirring up a violent whirlwind within the , making the crowns of the widespread iron oak and treasure trees rustle.

"Truly amazing, this body doesn't need any training at all, it posses all the strength and physical instincts of the original. After completing the soul transfer, there's no need for adaptation and it can go straight into combat."

Aiven looked down at his broad-shouldered, muscular, and perfectly proportioned body, noticing that even the emerald green engravings of the

were perfectly replicated on his wrists, ankles, and chest.

This indicates that not only the material foundation but even the Extraordinary Power contained in the original body was fully replicated by the , far superior to simple body "cloning."

The

was a miraculous witchcraft Aiven created on a whim after receiving the

last time, with

and Leon's unique

as prerequisites, and it is one of the foundational achievements supporting the "Genetic Theory."

The effect is: no matter how far in the Material World, one can transfer through the Spirit Realm and move freely between replicated bodies. Of course, to ensure the body's Tier 3 Peak combat power, the current limit of replicated bodies is two.

This means that even if Aiven was unlucky enough to be killed twice in quick succession, it would not affect his combat power.

However, his soul and subjective consciousness are singular, and without a soul transfer, these shells are like highly developed-limbed but brainless simpletons.

Moreover, not only the soul, but the wizard's

also possesses an indivisible and unreplicable trait that lies between existence and non-existence, information and entity.

Wherever the soul is, the casting ability of the upper-rank wizard follows.

And this trait has its advantages; there's no need to worry about so-called self-aware doppelgangers pondering "Who am I?", "Where did I come from?" or which is the real Aiven.

With the , any physical injury and lifespan are no longer constraints to his long existence, only the soul is the limit. Although there's no significant enhancement to combat power, survival ability has reached an extreme level.

"Hmm, influenced by this round of qualitative change, the body's three-dimensional attributes have directly reached 10 points, and the enhancement of Spiritual Power should be slightly quicker in the future due to the physical feedback."

Other subtle transformations should continue for a long time until a certain biological level of perfect form is reached, laying a solid foundation for Tier 4 Crown non-human transformation."

Aiven felt the subtle changes within his body, and as his mind shifted, his form began to shapeshift freely like clay, becoming tall, short, fat, thin, old, young, Nimansite, Atrean, Anuma people...

Evidently, the

can unleash much more power beyond the .

Apart from being a powerful witchcraft, more importantly, the

carries his wizarding path, truly unifying "Dao" and "Art."

In parallel with comprehensively enhancing the existing witchcraft system, there are still many things it can achieve.

Super regeneration, appearance transformation, and even changing one's gender can all be done in an instant, with the Super Transformation Technique allowing changes into all existing forms in the current , Thousand Transformations, such as Mushroom People, Tree-men, Elemental people...

There is no issue transforming into other lower-tier extraordinary creatures like vampires, ghouls, night spirits, flying horses, griffins, etc., but it requires simultaneous adjustment of the corresponding creature's .

However, due to the differences between individuals and the entire species, compared with the , this talent ability called

by Aiven, has temporary abundance in variation but lacks strength.

Additionally, in the aspect of his original "creation" job...

Past wizards of the "Life Tree School" had limited understanding of the essence of life, with related knowledge creation lacking a system, having little creativity, and

including the

being more like a reproduction factory than a creator.

Even if new species were created, the changes were very minor. But after carrying Aiven's

path, it adds wings to a tiger, enough to cause qualitative change.

Theoretically, from a drop of blood containing the most primordial life force in his body, he could create thousands of creatures in the world and freely adjust their genetic information, thereby creating many new races, or even intelligent beings.

Only due to the current focus of the school's research, it is temporarily limited to carbon-based organisms in this one large category.

Once everything was settled.

When Aiven returned to the sea, it was already the next morning.

But having completed his set task, he wasn't in a hurry to go home immediately.

Bang!

A great monument neatly carved had been erected by Aiven on the largest main island of this volcano archipelago, casually naming this archipelago .

He finally once again felt the attention of the World Consciousness after the North Pole, gaining a precious piece of !

"Not easy!"

Although the favor obtained from exploring an archipelago this time isn't very strong, feeling the surge of thoughts continuously emerging from the heart.

Aiven gradually started to have a premonition that it wouldn't take long before he could perfect the Tier 4 path of the , stepping into Tier 4 Extraordinary ahead of the wizard path!

...

The sky over the sea was a bit gloomy.

The weather in the

is more unpredictable than any human-known sea, seeing clear skies, rain, hurricanes, snowstorms, and heatwaves all within an hour wouldn't be surprising.

With the compass completely failing here, if we encounter a stretch of nightmare weather, where neither the sun nor the starry sky can be seen, it would be a real nightmare for the adventurers.

At this moment.

Whoosh—

A medium-sized, two-masted adventure ship without any markings, unfurling sails modified by witchcraft, is swiftly navigating the outer sea regions of the Broken Star Sea, breaking through layers of chaotic ocean currents and sea winds, resolutely advancing toward the inner parts of the Broken Star Sea.

"'Thorny Fire', according to the information collected by our 'Curse School', once we pass through the iconic gorge ahead, we'll enter a region that many extraordinary factions from Celebes Island have rarely ventured into.

In fact, on many factions' nautical charts, this region is a blank slate. There is no better place for expanding the boundaries of known sea areas."

A young wizard dressed in a black robe with eerie tattoos on his face, bowed and explained to the tall and athletic knight beside him.

Standing at the bow, the middle-aged knight with short golden hair and a short stubble slowly nodded:

"Alright, I understand, Wizard Holt."

He then turned around, loudly addressing the crew who were exceptionally busy due to the complex sea conditions:

"As part of the expedition team, if we can receive the World's Favor this time, it belongs to everyone. As an Imperial Guardian, I am very much looking forward to seeing the fifth Titled Knight of the Hilus Empire among you!"

"Roar! 'Thorny Fire', we will not fail your expectations!"

The hundreds of elite crew members on the ship heard and excitedly raised their arms with a shout.

Among the many countries in this world, who benefits most from the World's Favor? Surely, it is the Hilus Empire, which has added three Titled Knights in just two hundred years.

Their mastery over the world's trends makes them the most passionate about exploring unknown worlds and also the only official faction from the Old Continent to have commenced exploration of the Broken Star Sea.

Even though the Hilus People and the Tinder Sect didn't obtain the Ancient Scroll back then, it didn't stop their determination to explore the world and receive the World's Favor.

Just like Aiven, who came here on a whim as an outsider, this team was fortunate enough not to appear on the planned capture list of Ancient God's Followers. Furthermore, because they did not act alongside those wizard factions from Celebes Island, the uprising of the Dark Side of the World did not affect them.

'Good, full of spirit! For the sake of my Titled Sacred Artifact, I ask you all to give your all!'

Seeing the morale of the crew, 'Thorny Fire' couldn't help but smile and nod slightly.

Anyone who enters the inner parts of the Broken Star Sea knows the risks are immense, even a Tier 4 Knight cannot afford to be careless.

Especially since he came to the New Continent this time to deal with the increasingly restless 'Mother of Water', Melro, due to the Spirit Tide, yet used his authority and gathered personnel to delve deeper into the Broken Star Islands himself.

The aim is to use the World's Favor to further advance on the path of Tier 4 Title, nurturing his own Titled Sacred Artifact - Bloody Thorn Crown: Messiah!

'Thorny Fire' understands the World's Favor of the Age of Navigation more than anyone.

Casting a stone to the island's outskirts and slipping away is definitely useless; at least 10% exploration of the island or mainland's core area is necessary to possibly attract the attention of the World Consciousness.

Therefore, each exploration in unknown regions must be stained with the blood of adventurers. Even for a Titled Knight, a slower teammate is a critical necessity.

"Hm? What's that...?"

At this moment, 'Thorny Fire' suddenly looked up to the sky, his expression changing dramatically.

Woo-woo-woo…

The already somewhat gloomy sky suddenly became densely packed with leaden clouds, as if day turned to night at once, with winds approaching 200 meters per second raging overhead.

Then a wind pillar, about a hundred meters in diameter, slowly extended down from the clouds, surrounded by roaring high-speed swirling cloud walls, and countless mini vortexes swimming inside, emitting sharp whistles.

Moving at 50 kilometers per hour, it shot straight towards the fast-moving adventure ship. Even at almost a kilometer away, the adventure ship seemed to be sucked in by the powerful low-pressure system.

From this distance, it looked like a giant's arm wielding it fiercely towards them.

"Not good! A tornado! Full right rudder, quick turn!"

While the Hilus expedition ship's crew were in chaos.

Underwater, not far from them, standing in the captain's chamber of the Sea Soul, Aiven calmly moved his right arm, and the tornado in the sky turned accordingly, following the adventure ship like a shadow.

"It's actually a Hilus Titled Knight? To cross paths without greeting is truly unacceptable! Hehe..."

Since "titles" are part of a Titled Knight's power, there certainly exists no so-called obscure 'Titled Knight' in the world. The Titled Knights of various countries are hidden within poems, paintings, sculptures, and mythological stories, and the Hilus Empire, nurturing many artists, excels remarkably in this regard.

Despite being oblivious to the approaching crisis, on his return, Aiven felt that since he happened to encounter a Hilus Titled Knight, boasting his extra lives, how could he not confront him for the sake of his full Creator's Blood?
