Age of Adepts

It was a golden flame giant with a ten-meter height!

Although the ten-meter height was much smaller than the previous thousand-meter body, the strange flame that lingered around the Flame Giant's body was constantly sending out golden ripples.

These golden ripples were invisible to ordinary people, and existed only in the void. Just like those specially blessed sorcerer's aura, the golden ripples changed the laws of emptiness wherever they went.

The one controlling this bit of space was no longer the consciousness from above, but another scorching will that had risen in its place, the soul consciousness of that Golden Flame Giant.

In a way, this Golden Flame Giant had actually become a source of rule power. The rule power imbued within its body was constantly interacting and communicating with the rule system of the Sorcerer World, thus causing tremors and ripples in the rule system.

However, how would the bit consciousness be willing to lose control of this bit of space?

Therefore, around the Golden Flame Giant, a chain of laws suddenly protruded out of the void, like an octopus's tentacles that were picking and choosing to devour the giant's body.

Obviously, the Golden Flame Giant was not willing to endure the restriction of the chain of laws, so he roared and waved his hand. Inside the bursting sea of fire, the chain of laws shattered, and even the bit surface void was scorched and distorted.

Yet how easily could the bit surface consciousness be repulsed....

In the next moment, the bit void opened up, and more and denser chains of laws waved all over the sky towards the golden giant. Wherever the chains of laws traveled and swirled, the sea of fire ignited by the Golden Giant was gradually suppressed.

The Golden Flame Giant roared in pain, still wanting to continue to explode with power against the chain of laws. At this moment, a golden aura of fate fell on the giant's body, also delaying its confrontation with the bit consciousness for a moment.

"Grim, don't confront the Bit Consciousness! You'll have to endure the suppression of your bit consciousness if you want to stay in the bit for a little while longer...trust me, you'll be fine!" Alice's soft and sweet voice sounded in the Golden Flame Giant's mind at the right time, which made it stop resisting unnecessarily and endure the restraints of the chain of laws with gritted teeth.

After the giant gave up its resistance, the riotous chain of laws immediately coiled around its body and then continuously tightened its strands. The Golden Flame Giant's body shrank a little and the flames on his body began to die out.

It took a quarter of an hour for the Golden Flame Giant to completely disappear, and a tall, sturdy man with a two-meter tall, naked body appeared on the spot.

Grim shook his head and gritted his teeth, which was why he struggled to get up from the ground.

The surface of his strong and upright male body was densely covered with mysterious and mysterious golden fire patterns, while the surface of the patterns was poured and entangled by a layer of dark green vertical and horizontal lines, causing most of his power to be in a strange and extremely strange seal.

Of course, this layer of seal couldn't completely obscure his power.

As long as he wanted, the power that erupted from his body could break through the seal at any time, allowing the rule power represented by the golden ripples to reign over this space. But then, his confrontation with the bitmapped consciousness would never end.

The Bit Consciousness would never stop until he was forced out of the Bit World!

After all, allowing a powerful rule sorcerer like him to roam around within the bits, wherever he went, the laws of the bits would be rewritten by the power of his rules.

This, too, was something that the Bit Consciousness would never allow!

From a body of flame to a human body now, the vast majority of Grim's power had been sealed. The upper limit of the power he could now exert was also locked away at the peak of the 4th stage, which only accounted for a very small portion of his true power.

It was no wonder that such a difficult thing to endure was simply unbearable for those great sorcerers.

In previous battles, he had also killed two rank 5 creatures with his own hands. This made his heart swell a bit as well, thinking that he was really already very powerful.

But when he actually became a 5th rank Grand Sorcerer, he was able to tangibly understand how 'ferocious' the suppression of the Faceside Law was against the Superclass Sorcerers!

It was literally all-encompassing, from the physical* body to the mental, to the soul level, total and complete suppression!

It was no wonder that those 5th Order Calamity Little Lords became so 'fragile' when they got into the Wizard World. It wasn't the Grim that was powerful, but the ubiquitous and pervasive bit consciousness, and even more so the power of the rules that it had accidentally mastered in advance.

It was the coincidence of the latter two that caused those 5th Order Calamity Minor Lords to gutter and create Grim's momentary glory.

"Hmph, what do you mean, you're naked as soon as you meet..." the sharp-toothed Mary flapped her bat wings as soon as they fell into the sky and couldn't help but slurp.

Alice on its side, on the other hand, had a blush on her face and smiles in her eyes.

Grim smiled awkwardly and waved his hand to condense a red soft robe over his body.

Just where the golden flame vibrated, it caused another ripple in the surrounding void, and it took a long time for it to calm down.

"This is within the bit plane, you... don't use the power of the rules recklessly if you don't have to. Otherwise, the bit surface reversal will make you miserable!" Alice strode over to Grim's side, stood on her tiptoes, and tenderly brushed a strand of long dark red hair behind her for him.

"Oooooh... it's so hard! It's like I've got most of my nostrils blocked and most of my vision obscured, and I've got hundreds of pounds of chains coiled around me...it's so hard to even breathe!" Grim was complaining madly, looking like he was dying.

After all, his physique couldn't compare to those Calamity Minor Lords, who endured even more terrifying bit suppression, yet still managed to exert a strong fighting force within the bit. He, on the other hand, was barely able to even maintain a 4th rank strength.

"That's why you've just promoted and haven't yet adapted to the bit surface suppression. After you've been inside the bit surface for a long time, and after you've gotten used to it, the battle power you can exert will slowly increase up..." explained Alice to him in a simple and straightforward manner.

Of course Grim already knew these truths, but with no place around his upper and lower body, he still couldn't help but complain and want to get rid of this torture and torment sooner.

"Have you already been promoted? That... Golden Fire Giant is your original body?" Mary had circled around Grim three times, curiously asking questions. She even leaned in close to Grim, gently sniffing in the refreshingly sweet scent of blood from his body, intoxicated, "It smells so good! Good smelling hard bite..."

A cryptic expression appeared on Grim's handsome face, and he reached out and chiseled a finger on Mary's forehead. Only then did he grab her by the waist and turned to ask Alice, "How much longer can I stay inside the bit?"

Alice smiled lightly and said, "That depends on how many bits of favors you have left! If you haven't left the Wizarding World after the bit dependents run out, sooner or later the bit consciousness will find you and force you out!"

Grim looked within his mind and immediately communicated with the chip.

In the next second, a large countdown alarm clock was projected in his mind.

"123 hours, 43 minutes, 57 seconds..."

The clock is ticking....

This was the last time he would be able to stay within the Sorcerer World, and it would be drastically shortened as he used powers that exceeded the upper limit of this world's location.

Therefore, there really wasn't much time left for him to account for his 'funeral'!

"Chip, how's my self-examination going now..."

"Drops, starting the first self-test after the equinox leap..."

Soon, the basic data of Grim's body brushed the light screen like a digital waterfall.

"Grim, male, Level 5 Rule Shaman (Flame Specialization), Star Beast Bloodline 1 (Devouring Demon Fish), Star Beast Bloodline 2 (4%), Chaotic Physique (Zhuo Qi Magic Resistance), Rule of the Heart (Flame Rule 217%), Body Base Data: strength 26 physique 35 agility 18 spirit 50+2, Bloodline Talent: Energy Black Hole, Flame Rule (Indestructible Flame) (and flame mirroring)..."

Nearly a hundred years of sedimentation, coupled with the fact that Grim had consumed some of the Flame God Sinai's flames, had allowed his resolution of the Flame Rules to climb to 217%, and had successfully unlocked his second Flame Rules skill: Flame Mirroring.

When Grim fought, he was able to summon three flame mirrors in the sea of fire he cast, replicating most of his own body's flame abilities and possessing a powerful flame casting ability.

And more importantly, Grim's original body was able to move freely inside these three flame mirrors without being affected by bit confinement or spatial interference.

Hehe, this also meant that Grim's enemies would have to face the bombardment of four powerful Flame Rule Sorcerers at the same time. And in order to attack Grim's original body, they would have to destroy the three flame mirrors first.

A scene like that was exciting to think about!

And in addition to the changes to the flame rules, Grim had also started the resolution of the second Star Beast bloodline on top of the original Magic Fish Transformation. It was conceivable that once the resolution of the second bloodline was completed, Grim would have the ability to transform into a second bloodline.

By then, he would be able to make a reasonable choice of matching bloodline transformation abilities depending on the battle situation, making his tactical combinations even more dangerous and versatile!

It was just that the multiple bloodline transformation abilities combined, and how it would affect his sorcerer development, would require a lengthened timeline to slowly observe and adapt to. Therefore, he didn't need to worry about such ethereal matters yet.

"I still have some time, what do you think we should do next?" Grim unkindly picked up Alice's waist and leaned in to whisper a question in her ear.

Alice's face immediately flushed red with shame, while Mary, who was eavesdropping at the side, immediately leaped up.

"Well, well, I've been holding it in for almost a hundred years! I won't let you off the hook this time..."

Grim laughed at the words, wrapped his arms around the waists of the two women, and with a flashing leap, he burrowed back beneath the earth .

A moment later, the entire earth began to tremble slightly again....
