Cursed Immortality

Chapter 575 Three Steps of Legend

?Over a thousand miles away from the Central Dead Continent was Dead Island No.87. As a double-digit island, it was quite large in comparison with three-digit islands, and it could also be called a medium-sized island. In contrast, the three-digit islands were small-sized islands.

As for the single-digit islands, they were large-sized islands, and they were at least 40% the size of the Central Dead Continent and closest to it.

Jacob successfully stepped on Dead Island No.87, and unlike the other islands he had seen in these last 23 days, this place wasnʼt surrounded by gloomy forest. Instead, not too far away from the ocean was a huge towering wall seemingly made with some crimson metal, and a strange aura was emitting from it.

Just by looking at the wall, Jacob felt some kind of power trying to affect his mind but utterly failed.

ʼCould it be this island is one of those research faculties Spirit Magic Dead King?ʼ Jacobʼs eyes begin to shine.

It had been 23 days since he had entered the Dead Faction Territory, and he was now quite familiar with it because of excessive hunting and torturing the information out of dark beings.

It could be said that everything was smooth sailing until a few days ago when he entered the giant lich, not any less tall than him. When he tried to hex him, Jacob was shocked because the hex didnʼt work on him at all which made Jacob startled.

Then he tried using Nyx to infiltrate its nightmare realm, and again, to his surprise, for the first time, Nyx said that Lichʼs nightmare realm was out of her reach right now.

His blood nearly ran cold, and he thought he had encountered a legendary dark being, but the strange thing was that Lich wasnʼt able to see through his hunterʼs stealth despite passing a few meters away from his hiding position.

Confused and somewhat terrified, he asked Immortika. He found that the giant lich wasnʼt a legendary rank expert, and he had a huge sigh of relief. According to Immortika, that giant lich had taken a tiny step beyond the unique rank, but it was still far, far away from the legendary rank.

To clarify it further, Immortika divided these steps that were important to become a complete legendary rank, calling it Three Steps of Legend.

The first step was the Beyond Unique Rank which was to start converting the mana into the body into either Aura or Spirit and fully assimilated with the Aura or Spirit Glyph.

However, this step was extremely dangerous and a milestone in the path to becoming a Legend. To convert the mana into a body was akin to converting one magic orbit so they could directly produce spirit or aura without any need to go through an aura or spirit glyph first.

This step needs one to have a deep understanding of their element glyph since it was the key to fully converting the magic orbits into spirit orbits or aura orbits. If someone prematurely dares to take this step, their entire magic orbits will blow off in an explosion.

Once the spirit orbits or aura orbits were fully formed, the next step was called the Inception Legend Body Rank. In this step, one has to use the spirit or aura orbits and awaken their body into a Spirit Body or Aura Body.

This process was even longer and more dangerous than the Beyond Unique Rank because a person has to let the aura and spirit seep into their bones and bone marrow to change their bodies into aura or spirit bodies. It was an extremely cruel and painful process, and if someone were not careful, their entire body would blow off.

But suppose someone can complete this process and fully awaken their Spirit Body and Aura Body. In that case, their bloodline will be fully awakened, and they can also have the ability to pass on their own bloodline with their own unique abilities etched in their glyphs. Their offspring would have talent even stronger than them.

Lastly, once the Spirit Orbits can make spirit energy and Spirit Body is fully awakened, the same goes for aura users, then the final step begins, Quasi Legend Rank.

To complete this step, one needs to awaken their soul. This step was the most mysterious, and everyone had their own way of reaching it. No one can teach anyone.

Once these three steps were complete, one needed to assimilate the Magic Orbits, Body, and Soul to reach the Fable Legendary State!

Beyond Unique Rank, Inception Legend Rank, and Quasi Legend Rank, each has Initial, Intermediate, and Perfect Stages. These were the three steps of legend; everyone had to compete before they could become a true legend.

Jacob never thought it would be so complicated to reach this rank, and on top of that, there was a Beyond Unique Rank Lich chasing him down. Although Immortika assured him as long as he used his full strength, he would be able to pummel the lich, and as long as his hex core evolved, it would also work on even Fable Legendary State Experts.

But Jacob didnʼt want to try since, according to Immortika, even an initial stage beyond unique rank expert chance of appearing was one between 100,000!

So, Jacob mused that the giant lich was most likely a Dead King, and if he really killed him, he might draw out the Dead Emperor. Now that he knew about the three steps of legend, he was sure that he might be at the perfect stage of the first step or even the second step.

Although he didnʼt know how strong the expert of the three steps of legend was, he didnʼt want to take any unnecessary risks as long as he didnʼt have to. Not until his hex core evolved.

Thatʼs why Jacob avoided the Wrath King and always escaped after slaughtering unique rank dark beings city after city. At least he canʼt discover him in his hunterʼs stealth.

Even if he got discovered he was winning against him, he was quite assured after Immortikaʼs guaranteed. Nonetheless, he was now even more eager to raise his strength.

Looking at the towering walls, Jacob used the gray disc to fly above it. But upon reaching the top, he frowned because a silver-gray barrier was covering the entire city, and it was filled with metallic buildings; this place was like an industrial factory site!
