Chapter 338: Breaking Through
"A soul-split..." Orion murmured softly with wonder in his voice. He understood immediately the implications; the larger, more significant portion of his soul had been integrated with the World Tree, becoming an integral part of it.
Despite the monumental implications of this revelation, Orion shook his head decisively, reminding himself there was no time to ponder this mystery further.
Turning swiftly toward his Affinity Runes, his heart nearly leaped from excitement and anticipation as he saw them beginning to crack and fracture spontaneously under the immense pressure of the Pure Mana.
"Perfect timing!" Orion exclaimed joyously, immediately rushing forward toward his cracking Affinity Runes—Fire, Thunder, and Wood—each vibrating intensely, clearly approaching a crucial transformative juncture.
Seeing this golden opportunity, Orion swiftly reached out, actively guiding and accelerating the destructive energies surrounding his runes.
He decisively shattered the existing rune structures, allowing the fragmented remnants to dissolve entirely into sparkling motes of elemental essence.
He quickly drew from his profound knowledge of runes, immediately visualizing far more intricate and powerful structures.
With focus, Orion began reforging each Affinity Rune, carefully incorporating twelve Primary Runes into every element, surpassing his previous nine-rune constructions significantly.
His hands and spiritual consciousness moved seamlessly, each rune precisely carved and integrated into new and superior runic matrices.
First came Fire, blazing brightly as it resonated fiercely with Orion’s Fire Dragon Emperor heritage. Next, Thunder crackled magnificently, radiating explosive power and majestic presence. Lastly, Wood emerged with graceful elegance, pulsating gently with life and profound vitality.
As each new Affinity Rune took shape, Orion’s excitement continued to soar. "Twelve Primary Runes each... this will be quite something," he whispered, eyes glinting with anticipation.
The upgraded runes pulsed powerfully, significantly elevating the stability, capacity, and output potential of his elemental abilities.
