With the cooperation of the bloodline of the superior Adhishesha, his advancement was smooth. The fifth level of Leylin's base cultivation method Kemoyin Pupils that the A.I. Chip had deduced with the help of numerous other high grade meditation techniques began to operate slowly.

The point mass in his sea of consciousness buzzed as it revolved quickly, growing in density as the nebula surrounding it began another round of frantic expansion. Another layer of fine multi colored runes emerged on top of it.

The sounds of the A.I. Chip rang once more. [Beep! Host's meditation technique has reached the fifth level. Advancing to rank 5 Warlock!]

[Beep! Host has advanced to become a Radiant Moon Warlock. All statistics have been significantly strengthened, recalculating…]

[Beep! Leylin Farlier. Rank 5 Warlock, Bloodline: Adhishesh. Strength: 96.1, Agility: 78.6, Vitality: 172.7, Spiritual force: 1661.2, Magic power: 1661 (Magic power is in synchronisation with spiritual force) Soul force: 166 (New Moon)] The A.I. Chip intoned.

Leylin has become a rank 5 Warlock, a Radiant Moon! There were likely no more than twenty Radiant Moons in the entire central continent, second only to the Breaking Dawn Monarchs. It was also precisely due to the Radiant Moons in the Warlock Union that bloodline Warlocks still survived to this day even with the enmity of a Monarch.

With the probing of the soul through the A.I. Chip, Leylin could see the truesoul located at the heart of the point mass beginning to evolve.

Probing through his A.I. Chip, Leylin saw his truesoul at the heart of his point mass breaking through its limits at the peak of Morning Star, expanding to form the shape of a moon. It was glittering with a fine radiance that filled it with a sense of perfection.

Soul force was constantly poured in, causing the round moon to emanate a cool lustre. Once that was completed, his soul that was a size larger than that of normal Radiant Moon Magi would have on it a layer of soul force that looked like a crescent moon that emitted an intense radiance.

Ranks 4 to 6 involved the training of soul force. Morning Stars were still fumbling around without direction; it was when one advanced to Radiant Moon that they began true training.

The soul, which was in the shape of a moon showed how much soul force one had with its radiance. Rank 5 Magi had to train and fill it up. The different amounts of fullness represented the different stages of New Moon, Half Moon, and Full Moon Magi.

'I am almost a peak New Moon Radiant Moon Warlock, it is already a very good situation. With the advantage of my bloodline, I could easily contend against a peak Rank 5. As I am now, unless I am besieged by all of the top level experts of Lava World it close to impossible to make me relent.' Leylin mused, his supreme prowess isn't something that can be explained with common sense or logic. Leylin has always tried to stay a few steps above of everyone.

'Divineflame Empire and Altan Union is almost toppled, now that the protection is breached, their personnel compromised and Leaders at the brink of destruction, the profit is mine to take but I still need to work methodically to swallow this world wholly rather than plundering once and retreat, it would be far more profitable to control this area from the back.' Scarlet Eye and Divineflame Emperor are seriously injured and aren't in the state to actually survive the onslaught of a even more superior Leylin now, to him they are a piece of the chess piece that could be taken out easily p and are absolutely at his mercy but he is waiting, planning and stalking them.

His act of benevolence of sparing them is nothing but a move for Leylin to mend all issue and prepare a clean sweep as he checkmate the Lava World's most important continent.

This continent is capable of supporting the rise and advancement of a few Rank 5, many of which are hidden and don't participate as actively as others. Leylin won't bother with them as they remain quite secluded but the entirety of Altan Union, Divineflame empire and Allied Kingdom is too big a target and too appetizing a meal to let go. This place can fuel the succession of his subordinates and become an extremely important and valuable resource mine.

More importantly, it would also become a pillar to his future plans...

'Time to accelerate the rate of my plans and push past the battles but before that...' Leylin thinks about his future actions calmly and estimate the time needed to coincide with his other plans meanwhile Leylin retrieves the Phoenix egg from his possession and looks at it with a contemplating expression.

'What should I do with you huh? Little one?" Leylin thinks, the most important reason why he participated in the previous battle was this Phoenix egg and the importance it has.

Although the egg has lost a lot of vitality throughout the years of extortion of power from scarlet eye, and is only something characterized as a rare resource in common terms, it's still an extremely valuable resource capable of igniting the greed of any Radiant Moon and even Breaking Dawn Monarchs.

In terms of resources, there's the essence of the phoenix egg. That is definitely a world-class treasure. Not only can it accelerate progress in Fireplume, it's remarkably useful for a Magus' soul and point mass.

Leylin wanted to also check something and validate a conjuncture about the egg, as he thought that after his breakthrough to Radiant Moon it would enable him to finally achieve something he was thinking about.

Leylin stretched his empty left hand, holding the egg in the other and a strange vortex sucking force emerged seemingly able to bend and overwhelm everything in its avenue. The force holds a primordial essence and a strange aura of nothingness mending and morphing the world to it's will.

Leylin slowly took it closer to the Phoenix Egg and as a funnel being established the force was absorbed and the egg pulsed after sucking the force like it's an extremely nourishing elixir and oddly enough the egg's radiance increased.

"This surely opens another path but the question is- would this be worth the effort?" Leylin sighed.

After his breakthrough to Rank 5, his sentient force understanding took an exceptional leap enabling a myriad of abilities to him, most important is that, Leylin's ability to now project his sentient force into the world itself outside his body.

What it means is that Leylin is capable of screening it outside his body materializing it, and utilize it's all encompassing strength to achieve numerous miraculous feats, for example the side beneficial effect that women's have after intercourse with Leylin is something not only limited to physical connection.

Leylin could radiate his sentient force outside and use it to increase the attributes, aptitude, talent, affinity, vitality, strength, bloodline concentration etc. and miraculous healing along with many amazing feats such as helping others to advance! Leylin could now also use his sentient force to even create objects!

And depending on the force he input, creation of even magical equipment is not an issue.

One of the many amazing features he has is the ability to retain the lost vitality of the Phoenix egg which would give it a chance to actually revert to an entity capable of hatching! Leylin has a chance to possess the Ancient Phoenix egg!

"But the sentient force I would need in order to achieve this could easily make me reach Rank 5 peak at least two to three times, and after so much investment I would get just a chance to revitalize it's existence.' Leylin contemplated, he has two options laid before him. One is to absorb the Phoenix egg which would take him directly to the Rank 5 peak Full Moon, Leylin has no problem with his bodies vitality so he don't need to slowly digest it either Or the second way is to, invest in the risky endeavor of pumping the egg with insane amounts of sentient force.

To the current Leylin the most important resource is only sentient force and everything is just secondary, quite frankly if he has enough sentient force then he can achieve everything he want. All the resources are obsolete before it, at least for the current him.

Although Leylin really fancies the idea of petting a legendary beast he would first need to weigh the consequences.

"*sigh* No matter, there is no need to decide now. I have already almost exhausted my sentient force accumulation so, I need to replenish though this oncoming battle to snatch the other powerhouses land which would take time and I don't necessarily need to reach the peak urgently. With my new ability I could easily camouflage my bloodline advancement which is already deviated from the Kemoyin serpent path so, Snake Dowager won't be alerted by my existence." Leylin knew better than anyone the horror of someone at that level and he was extremely reluctant to attract her even through she cannot do much with just a mere projection. But Leylin has already broken the shackle and changed his bloodline long ago and he wasn't evolved into Kemoyin Serpent Emperor which was the main cause of her attention. The rise of an Emperor which hasn't been seen since the ancient war is a slight on her authority and the reason why she would be compelled and enraged to either supress or subjugate the target.

Although the horror of suppression from Adhishesha at Rank 5 isn't weaker than the Kemoyin serpent Emperor, it's still a different entity which doesn't share the bloodline with snake dowager just a slight resemblance.

*Buzz*

Leylin considered calmly about his choices and decision for a moment, as a dragon head like red imprint buzzed.

After a short while connecting, a response finally came in, "Lord Agni?"

"It is!" Leylin spoke in a low voice, "Arai, what is the situation there in the Allied Kingdom? Did the person I send reached our base."

"Yes, Lord Bowens is here. Lord Agni, the situation in the kingdom is very chaotic various heads are fuming and are publicly slandering your position. Some even tried to besiege our headquarters but they failed due to presence of Lord Bowens, it's an emergency! They are blaming you for the fall of three heads as well as framing you as a traitor. My Lord you better come back immediately and straighten this out or it may become problematic and we would lose the public favour!" The voice from the other channel spoke with great urgency.

Leylin has infiltrated the Allied Kingdom quite successfully even becoming one of the top decision maker, he has taken the place of the now obsolete matarisvan race head's son and his alias name is Agni. This women is one of his servants loyal to race and the first one to come under Leylin leadership after he took over.

After Leylin made various plans and swayed three heads to join the escort to Holy Solar Festival and eventually plotted to kill them, the leaders of the kingdom without even knowing the situation found a weak point against the fearsome and rising new head and joined together to slander him.

Leylin send his new contracted slave of Jupiter Lightning's Bowens to hide in Allied Kingdom and wait for orders as he breakthrough and as the lackeys of the other hegemon tried to test Leylin, Bowens barred them to gain Leylin's favor.

'It seems they don't know about what happened exactly and are under the misconception that I was injured as well or something as I disappeared.' Leylin almost laughed, if they knew his strength as well as his exploit against Scarlet Eye they would kneel over to beg for getting a chance to stick near him.

"It's okay you don't need to worry, I am coming! After this endeavor, The allied kingdom's name would be renamed again as I establish the Matarisvan Empire and conquer the whole Blazing crown continent!" Leylin smiled laced with malevolence and blood thrist as the ground underneath him started to shake from his undulation and cracked.

The Adhishesha is brimming with desire to destroy the current empire bringing about a storm of bloody battles and fierce war, creating a new world order catering to it's need and profit from the sustenance.

"Sadly though, this battlefield and glory is for the Vermilion to enjoy!"

*Screech*

Leylin transform into a Blue Vermilion as he flew in full radiance and domineering regal authority showcasing his might and advancing towards the Allied kingdom to state his power and start a glorious new reign.

He obviously has a necessity he would like to fulfill from the Lava World, even through he'd already gotten the most benefits from there. Through his journey so far, Not only had he obtained the mutated Fireplume and caused his Morning Star point mass to grow to the limits and reaching Radiant Moon level, he'd even got the whole phoenix egg which would definitely attract the envy, greed and bad intentions of many but Leylin isn't afraid no, he rather welcome allcomers.

The things he has obtained are basically the greatest treasures of the Lava World, and Leylin was obviously satisfied with his gains but now, his campaign to conquer this world is going to grow in full force.

There is no reason for his biggest contender, Zegna to hand over the coordinates to the Lava World anyone else especially a breaking dawn and the reason is simple, He could come to the Lava World himself and contend with Leylin for it because Zegna has no idea who is opponent actually is!

Leylin would love the idea of his body descending here, although he knows that isn't going to happen. Zegna isn't a match for Leylin and the only thing to look out for in his existence is his helper.

'I wonder would you make the same decision and meet the same end although the target is very different.' Leylin thought as the marvelous and prosperous Allied Kingdom's capital named Suraj city appeared before him.
