At tens of thousands of meters northwest of Su Wu's territory, a crimson magic circle suddenly appeared in midair.
After a moment, a palm-sized eyeball emerged from the circle, scanning the surroundings.
The ground was covered with white frost, constantly emitting chilling coldness.
Scattered across the ground were numerous lifeless monster corpses, hinting at the brutal battle that had taken place here.
The huge eyeball circled the area a few times, ensuring nothing was missed, then slipped back into the crimson magic circle.
Hum~!
The magic circle stirred again, and this time a black-caped Lich stepped out.
"Hiss ~!"
Just emerging, the Lich involuntarily drew a cold breath.
Cold!
It was unbearably cold!
This chilling cold seemed to freeze a person from inside out.
"It's definitely not from that old guy."
The Lich muttered to himself, adapting to the cold.
"That old guy's power is holy light based; he couldn't produce such chill."
"However… this matter might still be related to him."
Rumors existed even before his betrayal that the Dawn Empire had a secret trump card controlled by the royal family.
If true, the current scene could very well be caused by that trump card.
"Seems like I'm underprepared."
After roughly assessing the opponent's strength, the Lich decided: "I have to complete modifying that stupid dragon first before launching an attack."
No hesitation, the Lich crossed back through the crimson magic circle to his lair.
He believed that once the king-tier dragon was successfully modified, even the Dawn Empire's secret weapon wouldn't stand a chance.
...
Meanwhile, unaware of how much pressure his minion's little skill was putting on the Dawn Forest's behind-the-scenes boss, Su Wu had finished reviewing Wang Qiang's Intel.
Leaning back in his chair with nothing pressing to do, Su Wu took out a bottle of potion.
It was the Boundary - Breaking Item he received from Wang Qiang.
He had hesitated to use it because when checking the options, he discovered a shocking choice:
[Option 1: Consume the potion after 14 seconds; upon effect ending, gain special skills 'Nirvana Rebirth', 'Rapid Regeneration', 'Fire Elemental Body', and 'Phoenix Flame'.]
Four special skills at once!
Su Wu was stunned for several seconds at this option.
To him, among a densely packed list of choices, one option twice as long as the others was unprecedented—even after obtaining Holy Judgment.
[Using Boundary - Breaking Item 'Nirvana Rebirth', body constitution and spirit increase by 200 points for 60 seconds, and gain temporary skill 'Rapid Regeneration'.]
[Rapid Regeneration: Consume stamina to quickly heal bodily injuries.]
Timed perfectly, Su Wu drank the potion, feeling a powerful force rising inside him.
Along with this surge, unknown energy flowed through his blood into every limb and bone.
This energy burned like flames, full of vibrant life within Su Wu's body.
Crackling sounds like firecrackers echoed from within him.
Instead of pain, Su Wu closed his eyes comfortably.
After brief thought, he understood the source of this change.
Rapid Regeneration.
This skill not only heals surface wounds but also repairs latent internal damage.
[Time expired, Boundary - Breaking Item 'Nirvana Rebirth' effect vanished, temporary skill 'Rapid Regeneration' removed.]
[Congratulations, you have permanently gained the skills 'Nirvana Rebirth', 'Rapid Regeneration', 'Fire Elemental Body', and 'Phoenix Flame'.]
Sixty seconds passed in a flash.
After the potion's effect ended and the temporary skill was removed, Su Wu permanently gained 'Rapid Regeneration' and three other high-level special skills.
[Fire Elemental Body: Fire skills' effect increased tenfold, casting speed doubled, physical damage reduced by 50%.]
[Phoenix Flame: Summon phoenix flames, dealing both spiritual and physical damage to enemies.]
[Nirvana Rebirth: Upon death, removes all negative states and immediately resurrects with full status on the spot. Stores one resurrection every 30 days; current stored resurrections: 1.]
"Holy crap!"
Even the usually calm Su Wu couldn't help but swear.
These skills were absurd.
Fire Elemental Body and Phoenix Flame alone were top-tier fire combat talents and divine skills dealing dual damage.
But even combined, their value was far below Nirvana Rebirth in Su Wu's eyes.
One resurrection token every 30 days, and it can be stored!
This isn't a divine skill; it's a cheat!
