Chapter 179: Black Tortoise!
Back when Lin Ming was a tier 7 fire mage, he was already invincible below the Sage tier.
Now that Lin Ming had broken through by two tiers and absorbed sixteen types of mutated seeds of flame, he was much stronger than simply being invincible below the Sage tier.
“Alright,” Lin Ming nodded and attacked.
“Use your strongest strength and your strongest state,” The God of Fire spoke again.
“Boom!” Lin Ming’s power erupted.
Lin Ming’s flame power had become transparent!
The sixteen mutated seeds of flame had made Lin Ming’s flame power the most extreme and powerful flame power.
Even if he cast a tier 1 fire-type attack spell, it would have extreme power!
Upon reaching the extreme, everything would become pure.
Thus, what Lin Ming had now was the purest form of power.
“Ngh!” The God of Fire, who had been attacked, couldn’t help but grunt.
He had initially thought that Lin Ming was only invincible below the Sage tier.
It was a given he knew how powerful the mutated seeds of flame were, after all, he was the one who had collected them all.
However, there were monstrous geniuses in this world.
With Lin Ming’s attack, the God of Fire knew that his understanding had been too simple.
The current Lin Ming’s strength had reached a point where he could probably still fight for some time against a Sage-tier opponent.
Of course, if the time of combat dragged on, Lin Ming would not be a match for a Sage.
But to survive a simple clash, Lin Ming definitely wouldn’t have any problems.
“Good, excellent!” The God of Fire praised.
Before he met Lin Ming, he had always been cursing at others.
Although he looked like an amiable old man, for someone who could become the God of Fire, his temper was extremely fiery.
Looking at Lin Ming now, he suddenly thought of his useless disciple back then.
“Kid, in the future, your achievements will definitely surpass mine. Even if the path to the God-tier has been blocked by those old bastards in this world, I believe that you will breakthrough,” The God of Fire laughed loudly.
“Remember, in the future, don’t say that you have obtained my inheritance. Just say that you are my last disciple! Understand?” The God of Fire asked Lin Ming.
“Yes, senior. It is also my honor,” Lin Ming nodded.
From these words, one could see how much praise the God of Fire had for Lin Ming.
Previously, the one thing he had said to his disciple the most was, “Don’t say that I’m your Teacher in the future. Don’t embarrass me.”
“Why aren’t you bowing to me? Don’t leave me with any regrets before I disappear from this world,” The God of Fire moved forward and spoke again.
“Yes, Teacher,” Lin Ming nodded and bowed to the God of Fire.
This was a form of respect for his seniors.
“Good, good. I didn’t expect that after a hundred thousand years, I would be able to find a decent disciple. Good,” Ever since the God of Fire met Lin Ming, his laughter had never stopped.
“My dear disciple, I’ll give you one last gift,” The God of Fire said as he placed his palm on Lin Ming’s shoulder.
“Go!”
God-tier flame power continuously entered Lin Ming’s body.
“Ding! God-tier origin energy detected. Do you wish to absorb it?” The system’s voice sounded.
“Yes!” Lin Ming nodded in affirmation.
This was God-tier origin energy! He would be a fool to say no!
God-tier energy was already extremely precious, let alone God-tier origin energy, which was something that even the Sage tier experts of this world couldn’t come into contact with.
“Ding! Host’s fire power has been sublimated due to possession of God-tier origin energy. Current God-tier origin energy is at 5%!” The system’s voice sounded in Lin Ming’s ears.
“5% God-tier origin energy!” At this moment, Lin Ming couldn’t help but become excited.
Today, Lin Ming’s fire magic had reached its purest form by his fusion of sixteen types of mutated seeds of flame, which had allowed him to advance by two tiers in a row, and his strength had been increased by hundreds of times!
This was enough to make a person go crazy!
And now, he had actually obtained God-tier origin energy!
“Boom!”
Lin Ming’s body emitted a rumbling sound.
Lin Ming’s eyeballs turned crimson!
Of course, this wasn’t because Lin Ming had gone mad, it was because of the change in Lin Ming’s origin energy!
Lin Ming looked around. He could actually see the outside world through this space!
“You absorbed all of it? Good, good!”
Since encountering Lin Ming, the God of Fire had become extremely long-winded. He kept repeating these words again and again.
Of course, only he knew what it felt like to be shocked time and time again.
“Buzz!”
Lin Ming closed his eyes and sat down cross-legged.
“Take this Longevity Monument as my gift to you. You have to know that the Wheels of Wrath was originally not one of the great four divine artifacts. It was this Longevity Monument that was one of the great four divine artifacts. However, during that great battle, the Longevity Monument cracked and its tier dropped, making it a pseudo-divine artifact. Although this crack exists, it can be repaired. If it is repaired, the Longevity Monument will turn back into a divine artifact. However, at that time, I was also reduced to tatters and couldn’t repair it,” The God of Fire sighed and said.
Back then, he had two divine artifacts.
One was the Wheels of Wrath, which had the strongest offensive power, and the other was the Longevity Monument, which had the strongest defensive power.
It could be said that with these two divine weapons, he could both attack and defend. At that time, it was very difficult for him to meet a worthy opponent.
However, that battle had caused all of them to lose their lives.
His Longevity Monument was damaged as well.
At that time, he wanted to repair it, but he was powerless to do so.
After all, until now, only a remnant of his soul remained in this world.
“Black Tortoise,” The God of Fire spoke.
“Master,” An old voice appeared in this space.
“In the future, this will be your Master,” The God of Fire pointed at Lin Ming and said as such.
“Master, is the last bit of your soul about to dissipate into this world?” Black Tortoise looked at the God of Fire, his eyes blurry with tears. To think that an artifact spirit could shed tears.
“Alright, you and I don’t need so many courtesies. Your body is now broken, and it’s because of me. In the future, follow him. He will definitely be able to repair you. You can trust my judgment,” The God of Fire spoke to the artifact spirit of his divine artifact apologetically.
After so many years, only the Black Tortoise accompanied him.
“Master, I can’t bear to part with you!” The Black Tortoise lowered his head and said.
“Even if it is so, there’s no other choice. I have already passed all my inheritance to him. The strength that has supported me to the end has dissipated as well,” The God of Fire waved his hand and said.
“Lin Ming, why don’t you activate the Master Recognition Ceremony!” The God of Fire looked at Lin Ming and said while enduring the pain of having to part with his beloved artifact.
“Yes, Teacher.” Lin Ming didn’t hesitate.
He knew that the God of Fire wouldn’t rest in peace until he saw him subdue the divine artifact.
“Master, I!” Black Tortoise also knew that reality was right in front of him.
From now on, Lin Ming would be the Master that he had to protect.
“Greetings, Master!” Black Tortoise lowered his head and said.
