Infinite Mana In The Apocalypse

Chapter 380 - Covert Exploration

In the expansive Celestial Realm, a single Ancient Blood Clone was moving further and further away from the Sanctum as he passed through numerous areas that were already explored by the Celestials, the path he was taking actually taking him towards the unexplored regions as time passed.

The usage of the [Treasure Hunter] feature of the Frozen Plateau Spiritual Land was a unique one, with the clone observing a golden light shoot forth from the center of the miniaturized Spiritual Land as it trembled with vigorous essence, this golden light forming into the shape of a literal golden arrow that pointed even further north from the position that he was standing on.

Noah shook his head with a smile as he looked at the small golden arrow that was barely a meter long, wondering exactly what thing could be considered a treasure that this arrow had locked onto, and what he would have to do to obtain it!

Before he began moving towards the direction it pointed towards, he used the [Unique Origin] ability gifted from the Vampyre Progenitor as he chose to look for this first treasure covertly, not knowing what powerful creatures he could possibly run into as he went further and further away from the Sanctum.

He used [Unique Origin] as his body rapidly changed, becoming a pool of blood that slowly dwindled in size until it became less than a few inches, his humanoid shape becoming clearer as the size continued to reduce until he became a single inch! As he used the ability, he made it so that not a single aura of power leaked from him, the presence he gave off being even less stimulating than the plants that gave off abundant essence around him.

In the surroundings of the fantastical environment of the Celestial Realm where everything was filled with overflowing essence, a being that could barely be seen by the n.a.k.e.d eye that did not have even an aura of essence would be nearly impossible to find unless someone powerful was specifically looking for them appeared!

The miniaturized Ancient Blood Clone looked up towards the now even grander forest around him, even the small swaying grasses seeming multiple times larger than his own figure as the earth below him that was abundant in essence expanded even further. The ancient trees that were tens of meters tall looked even more massive, the cover of all of these magical surroundings making him feel extremely safe.

The size of the miniaturized Spiritual Land became even smaller than him, less than one tenth of an inch as it was anchored to his left hand, the golden arrow coming from it reflecting in size as the clone smiled, its body still bubbling with enormous power as it shot forth in the cover of numerous grasses where the arrow indicated!

He was moving in an extremely covert manner as while he moved beneath the numerous plants and foliage, not a single disturbance occurred in the fantastical surroundings of his location. His goal was to find out exactly where [Treasure Hunter] would lead him, and that was it. What would happen after that would be determined by what exactly he came to find.

His main body had been moving with the Righteous Fire Exploration Team the past few days, their hunts gradually giving him more and more information as he knew what terrible Behemoths could be found in the nearby areas that he was advised to keep away from.

The explored areas near the Sanctum were filled with Normal Behemoths, their strength varying in ranks but almost all of them being stably at the Soul Forging Realm. Because of their unique enormous bodies and proficiencies in laws, tens of normal Soul Rank individuals were required to take them down, or the most powerful Exploration Teams from the Celestials like the Righteous Fire hunting team.

Going even further out would put you at risk of coming around the Domain of an Elite Behemoth, which would almost certainly guarantee death for any Normal Team!

The Celestials warned Normal Teams to be extremely careful of entering a domain of such Celestial Beasts because as the name implies, these Elite Beasts would commonly have power at the Domain Expansion Realm!

That was a shocking realm that the Celestial Grandmasters held, their power being immensely powerful as they formed what was called Elite Exploration teams to hunt down such Behemoths.

Some of these Behemoths could have a rank at the Soul Forging Realm, but if they were proficient in a Supreme Law, it automatically placed them at the Elite Behemoth level. Some could be half a step into the Domain Expansion realm, this small advancement added to their already terrifying bodies allowing them to also be ranked as Elite Behemoths. Of course, the Behemoths that had already stepped into the Domain Expansion Realm were the most powerful at the Elite Rank, needing a team of Grandmasters to fully take them down.

What Noah currently dreaded the most was coming face to face with an Elite Behemoth, as he knew it would mean a very arduous and nearly impossible mission for his clone, but the further out he continued to follow the golden arrow, the more somber he became as he also grew more excited!

His miniaturized figure continued running speedily beneath the cover of its surroundings, coming to a stop after an hour as he felt the overflowing aura of a Behemoth filled with the Fire Element.

He stopped his quick movements as he climbed the grasses that were huge proportionate to his size, peeking from beneath the earth as he did not use any of his skills that allowed him to spread out his aura to check his surroundings. As long as he didnʼt use any mana in this place where even plants overflowed with immense mana, even the extremely perceptive Behemoths would not be able to locate him.

The Fire Behemoth he came across adopted similar features to the ones he had been coming across as he moved with the Righteous Fire Exploration Team, this one looking similar to an oversized Iguana that was slowly strolling through the mystical swaying trees.

Noah observed this powerful beast as he finally came across a Behemoth while moving alone, the presence of it being at the Normal Level being apparent as Noah was confident in being able to take it down with time.

He glanced at the calm surroundings and the Fire Behemoth that continued to stroll undisturbed as he smiled as returned back under the shade of the grasses, continuing towards where the golden arrow pointed as he marked the location of this Behemoth.

He had used the abilities of {Herald of Fate} to determine the best pathway for him to take that would cause the least chaos for his mission, and it told him to continue on his path towards where the golden arrow pointed to!

So for now, he only marked the location of this Behemoth as he continued forward, fully trusting the abilities of {Herald of Fate} as they lead him to upgrade [Blood Lord] skill tree that made possible for the Ancient Blood Clone to come to life, as well as the reminder for the profound uses of the Spiritual Land that he was currently using right now.

A single Fire Behemoth was not hard to find in the close proximity of the Sanctum, and he could come to find one whenever he wished to start a long and arduous battle with it alone. But his goal currently was the location where the golden arrow that the unique feature of the Spiritual Land, [Treasure Hunter], was pointing to. After he ascertained exactly what was considered a treasure in the eyes of this ability and got his hands on it, he would hunt all the Behemoths he could!
