Although the Spear of Wailing was a second-rank spell, after passing through two layers of light—the Ritual of Hades and the crimson defensive magic array—it had already reached the end of its power. It perished together with Leilin's Crimson Hand.
Even so, the might of his Crimson Hand was enough to make Kopern's expression change. He couldn't help but cry out in alarm, "You've already advanced to the second rank!"
Only after advancing to the second rank could someone so easily withstand his spell.
"Hah..."
Leilin exhaled softly, savoring the earth-shaking transformation within himself. He murmured, "Such powerful strength... it's truly intoxicating!"
At this moment, the Chip had already displayed several prompts:
"Ding! Detected massive combustion of unowned Spiritual Power. Comoin Eye advancing..."
"Host's Comoin Eye Advanced Meditation Method has promoted to the second layer! Driving the host's own rank advancement! Host has advanced to Second-rank Warlock!"
"Second-rank Innate Spell generated! Host's Sea of Consciousness undergoing improvements..."
"Ding! Host has advanced to Second-rank Warlock! Self-data has increased significantly. Re-collecting and recording..."
Immediately after, new attribute information was refreshed by the Chip.
"Leilin Farell — Warlock, Second Rank. Bloodline: Comoin Giant Serpent. Strength: 21.1, Agility: 14.4, Constitution: 27.9, Spirit: 104.3, Mana: 104 (Mana is synchronously determined by Spiritual Power)."
Leilin noticed that tremendous changes had also occurred within his Sea of Consciousness.
The original crimson Sea of Consciousness had grown far larger, expanding outward considerably. The core crystal at its very center had undergone an especially violent transformation.
At the center of the original Sea of Consciousness, there had been a diamond-shaped, blood-red crystallization of Spiritual Power—this was the foundation of Leilin's warlock abilities, inscribed with complex spell runes.
These spell runes resembled small black serpents, as though they had formed naturally. These runes comprised Leilin's two first-rank Innate Spells!
And now! Within the diamond-shaped crystal, a smaller diamond-shaped crystal had formed, identical in shape to the original, like a miniature copy nested inside.
The only difference was that the runes generated on the surface of the second-layer crystal were different from the two Innate Spell runes on the outer layer, forming a far more powerful Innate Spell.
However, if one looked from the outside of this two-layered crystal toward the inside, one could see that the runes inscribed on the outer crystal and those inscribed on the second-layer crystal had fused together perfectly, forming a somewhat incomplete blood-red sigil.
This sigil was extremely mysterious, seemingly containing terrifying energy capable of communicating with unknown existences in the void beyond. But because it was still incomplete for the time being, its full power could not yet manifest.
This was the kind of Innate Spell that only an Advanced Meditation Method could produce—one perfectly suited to Leilin himself, where each spell could integrate flawlessly without mutual interference.
If one were like an ordinary wizard, the runes and sigils they inscribed would produce enormous conflicts, and even two layers of core crystal might not remain stable.
Even if they found a second-rank spell with a sufficiently high compatibility, it would still produce tremendous attrition, preventing the second-rank wizard's true strength from being fully unleashed.
But Leilin, as he was now, had absolutely no such concerns!
Looking at the second-rank wizard Kopern in the distance, Leilin took a deep breath, then turned his attention to the second-rank Innate Spell that the Comoin Eye had automatically generated!
"Gall of Deadly Venom!"
This was the name of the second-rank spell the Comoin Eye had automatically produced. After receiving the information transmitted by the core crystal in his Sea of Consciousness, Leilin couldn't help but feel a bit speechless.
"It seems like another ability gained through body modification... This time it must have awakened the Comoin Giant Serpent's talent related to venom..."
Each breakthrough in an Advanced Meditation Method would generate an Innate Spell for the wizard, but this was entirely beyond choice—Leilin could only accept it. Still, the Innate Spells accompanying an Advanced Meditation Method were always extremely powerful, and would not disappoint.
At this moment, the Chip had also finished organizing all the information Leilin had obtained regarding the Gall of Deadly Venom, presenting it in a data-driven format.
"Gall of Deadly Venom — Second-rank Spell. The ancient Comoin Giant Serpents possessed terrifying venom capabilities. The venom of an adult could even corrode the void itself, and the ancient warlocks transplanted this ability onto their own bodies through body modification and bloodline surgery. Prerequisite: Comoin Giant Serpent Heart Modification at 100%. Effect: Release neurotoxin from any part of the body, launching an indiscriminate attack on all living beings within a massive area! Cost: 10 Spiritual Power, 10 Mana."
As a second-rank spell, the cost was only 10 Spiritual Power and 10 Mana respectively. This was clearly due to it being an Innate Spell. Moreover, it required the Heart Modification to have been completed and one's physical constitution cultivated to the proper level before it could be used—which only made Leilin more eager to try this second-rank spell.
"I'll test it on you first!"
Leilin glanced at Kopern not far away, and then the Spiritual Power within his Sea of Consciousness surged. The double-layered core crystal at the center began to emit a hazy, shimmering glow.
