Chapter 544: Chapter 337: The Greatest Fortune

Rod used his superior Spiritual Vision to find a suitable location near the giant pit.

It was a desolate hill, and due to the terrain, no demonized ant swarms passed by here.

It was at a certain distance from the giant pit, so as not to disturb the ant nest within.

Following Rod’s instructions, Chucher rallied his powerful Spiritual Energy, piercing through the Material World and then back from the Spirit Realm; a potent sphere of Spiritual Energy exploded in mid-air, bursting into a spectacular display of light akin to fireworks.

This was an unprecedented way of using Spiritual Energy, leaving everyone astounded.

Herman exclaimed in surprise, "Such an ingenious design... Rod, you have a deep understanding of how Transcendents operate their Spiritual Energy."

Abiding by his high moral standards, Rod would not accept credit that did not belong to him and said with a smile, "That’s right, to coordinate better with Sir Chucher in combat, I have specifically studied the characteristics of Transcendents."

Herman and Tyrion both showed appreciative smiles, while Lannis asked, "What are the characteristics of a Transcendent?"

"Uh..."

"Domain."

Unexpectedly, Mephit, who had been silent until now, spoke up in place of Rod.

"To control a Domain is to become a Transcendent."

Everyone shifted their gaze to this strange person who always hid their face beneath a hood. After a moment of hesitation, Ryan asked, "Aren’t you that ominous..."

Rod cut him off, "What does Domain mean?"

Chucher offered a slight smile and picked up the conversation, "A Domain is an extension of the soul. Within your Domain, your enemies are suppressed, while you can exert your full combat power."

Herman nodded, "In the combat hierarchy of Transcendents, Domain suppression is the most critical aspect of combat. If your Domain suppresses the enemy’s, you have the advantage."

A burst of intense light flashed as another sphere of Spiritual Energy rose from Chucher.

According to Rod’s instructions, he needed to repeat the process seven to eight times.

The bright light harbored a formidable force, stirring the hearts of all present; Cilly blurted out the question in her heart.

"How does one control a Domain?"

Chucher laughed and said, "The prerequisite for controlling a Domain is the Spiritualization of Spiritual Energy; of course, one also needs to possess Eleventh Level Spiritual Energy."

"Spiritualization?"

Seeing the gleam in everyone’s eyes, Herman decided to explain everything in one go.

"Reaching Ninth Level Spiritual Power and achieving harmony between spirit and flesh makes one a Perfectionist, someone who can perfectly control both Spiritual Energy and the body. Once you become a Perfectionist, you’ve formally entered the domain of the powerful, officially becoming a Hall Level warrior."

"Reaching Tenth Level Spiritual Power, mastering the external release and Spiritualization of Spiritual Energy, you become a Non-Human. Spiritualization allows you to transform a part of your body entirely into a form of Spiritual Energy. At this stage, you have transcended the category of humans, which is why it is called Non-Human."

"Reaching Eleventh Level Spiritual Power and further expanding the Spiritualization equates to Domain of the soul and characteristic. Controlling this Domain means you have surpassed mortals and are on the path towards divinity, hence termed a Transcendent."

"Once you reach Twelfth Level Spiritual Power, you qualify to quantify your characteristic. Once quantification is successfully completed, your soul replaces the law, becoming the law itself, and your characteristic is greatly strengthened at a fundamental level. It is for this reason such individuals are called Commanders."

Herman paused for a few seconds as the flashes of Spiritual Energy flickered across his face before his voice continued.

"Only such humans can be considered true Kings who control the Source. The Source within monsters can only be acquired through plunder and can only be used instinctively, its power far less than our own."

"Similarly, monsters are very primitive in their use of Spiritual Energy. Our Combat System usually ranks a level higher in comparison, a Ninth Level Spiritual Energy warrior is considered capable of handling a Tenth Level Spiritual Energy monster on their own; if the monster possesses a Source, then add half a level. Of course, some special monsters are exceptions."

The team fell silent, completely captivated by the discussion, while Chucher remained focused on controlling his Spiritual Energy.

Herman said with a smile, "This knowledge should be acquired when you reach the corresponding Spiritual Power Level, but since you’ve asked, I’ve shared it with you in advance. However, remember this: don’t aim too high too fast, focus on the path you should take now, or you might fall off a cliff."

In unison, everyone responded, "Yes, Commander Sir!"

Bang!

Another sphere of Spiritual Energy exploded.

It was the release of Spiritual Energy, achieving a specific frequency vibration with Chucher’s Domain.

Only now did Rod understand why they all felt warm and comfortable after Chucher arrived.

It was because his Domain separated them from the Insect Queen’s.

And the Insect Queen’s Spiritual Power Field was an extension of her Domain.

Seeing this, it was terrifying how powerful the Insect Queen was; its Domain even affected an area thirty thousand yards away, with the entire central region under its Spiritual Power Field.

Rod carefully sensed it; the Insect Queen’s Spiritual Power Level must be within the Twelfth Level. According to Trolian universal standards, deploying Chucher with Eleventh Level Spiritual Power to deal with her should have posed no problems.

But unfortunately, the Insect Queen was a "special" monster.

The glittering explosion faded, and suddenly, Chucher announced, "The Insect Queen has moved!"

Frank from Mushroom City placed his hands on the ground and shouted, "The earth tells me there’s an abnormal vibration in the giant pit, a colossal being is rising!"

Lannis from Wood City spread his arms, "The wind tells me, a large swarm of demonized ants is approaching us."
