"H-Hey, system. Why is the skill description so long, and why are your skills inside it?" Leo asked with a dumbfounded expression on his face.

[... According to the database, the host made this skill with his own efforts, and it turned out to be a legendary skill set lost from the face of worlds millions or even eons ago. It will absorb every single skill and make it into its own sub skill. There's no limit to the sub skill…. Or … All of this is a coincidence.]

"…" Leo used his right to remain silent from the annoyed reply of his system.

He tried to change the topic by looking at his other details on the status window. His eyes stopped at the physique and its full explanation appeared in his vision.

[Physique - Endless Transformation (CELESTIAL)] - 

Originally the yin-yang physique resulting from the inheritance of ancient progenitors from different realms and origins. The physique was altered due to the celestial phenomenon's interference and resulting in a more powerful and unique physique. The effects are as follows:-

{Passive - (Assimilation - 0.12%), (Bloodlines), (Talents), (Beastial Senses), (Inhumane Regeneration), (Interracial Language)}

{Active - (Bloodline Suppression), (Bloodline Bestowal), (Bloodline Seal), (Bloodline Absorption), (Progenitor)}

(Assimilation) - The user's body undergoes constant changes, adapting to any environment it encounters. These changes focus on pushing the body to its absolute peak, guided by the user's bloodline(s) for optimal evolution. If the environment poses threat, the body gradually becomes resistant to it over time. 

{(Bloodlines) -

Hell: Mephistopheles the Abyssal Sovereign, Bringer of Heavenly Torment (Infernalum Cruciatum)

Vampire: Nosferatu the Nightshade Emperor, Keeper of Heavenly Shadows (Nocturnum Sanguinarium)

Dragon: Drakonis the Primordial Wyrm, Guardian of Heavenly Flames (Draconis Incendium)

Undead: Mortis the Eternal Lich, Harbinger of Heavenly Necromancy (Morsus Nigredinis)

Phoenix: Solarius the Everburning Archon, Herald of Heavenly Renewal (Phoenixae Aeternum)

Human: Primus the Ancient Patriarch, Custodian of Heavenly Heritage (Primorum Hereditas)

Time: Tempus the Eternal Chronomancer, Weaver of Heavenly Threads (Temporum Nexus)

Space: Celestos the Astral Hierarch, Navigator of Heavenly Realms (Astralis Navigatorum)

Alchemy: Aurum the Elixir Magister, Alchemist of Heavenly Transmutation (Aurorum Transmutantium)

Blacksmith: Ferrum the Anvil Warden, Forger of Heavenly Armaments (Ferrarum Artificium)

Sorcery: Arcanis the Mystic Archmage, Conduit of Heavenly Magic (Arcanorum Mysticum) }

{(Talents) - (Mastery of Infernal Flames), (Shadow Manipulation), (Dragon's Breath), (Necrotic Ascendancy), (Rebirth Flames), (Versatility and Adaptability), (Time Manipulation), (Spatial Distortion), (Alchemical Mastery), (Divine Smithing), (Arcane Mastery) }

(Beastial Senses) - Sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch are enhanced to the limit of the body's assmilation.

(Inhumane Regeneration) - A single drop can be the root of the user's survival. If the whole body is regenerated, then the cultivation level will be halved as compensation. 

(Bloodline Suppression) - The progenitor bloodlines won't let anyone take the glory from the user. The bloodline control is absolute and doesn't depend upon the strength of the inferior being.

(Bloodline Bestowal) - If the user wants to bestow his bloodline(s) to an inferior being, the being in question shall be enslaved for eternity once it accepts the bloodline. The progenitor blood cannot be bestowed to anyone. The bloodlines that can be bestowed are: Pureblood, Highblood, Midblood, Lowblood Bloodlines. 

(Bloodline Seal) - The user can seal both his own and another being as long as it has an inferior bloodline.

(Bloodline Absorption) - The user can absorb other's bloodline to strengthen or keep the bloodline for themselves. (Absorbed bloodlines cannot be bestowed.)

(Progenitor) - Being a unique being that has the talents and bloodlines of many progenitors at once in the same body, you have your own unique aura that helps you even manipulate it into other being's. The progenitor bloodline(s) in your body are slowly transforming and turning into a new progenitor bloodline. (Assimilation dependent skill)

"…" Leo stayed silent after reading just the details of his Physique section.

"Why are there so many things?" He questioned towards the system.

[… Anomaly] The system spoke with its usual tone, but it sounded a little sarcastic.

"…" Leo remained silent.

He switched the panel with Soul option now.

[Soul - Phaseless Demonic Lotus (CELESTIAL)] - 

Originally the Phaseless Divine Lotus that was supposed to aid in karma divination. The Soul Devouring Dew that countered it fought for dominance over the soul of the user. The celestial phenomenons had a tie and were gradually losing their origin when a foreign strength forcefully combined them to the very soul they were fighting for. Becoming two halves of the same whole and combining into a rare variant of celestial phenomenon that has both the abilities of karma and sin divination along with some subsidiary skills born from the birth of its complete existence.

Leo didn't ask the system about the description. He now knew how he survived from two celestial phenomenons fighting for his soul. There was no need to ask about the 'foreign strength' as he knew it too well.

He skipped the cultivation panel and went straight to spiritual root affinity knowing that it won't be anything important.

[Spiritual Root Affinity - Chaos (INNATE)] - 

The rarest of the spiritual root that is superior to even the five elemental spiritual root. The five elemental spiritual root that is more adept for Earth, Water, Fire, Air, and Spirit cultivation while the chaos elemental spiritual root is adept to all elements that even included the crudest and unstable elements too. There is only a 1:10 Million chance for it to be born every century.

He was shocked at the description but didn't think too long. 

The feeling to grow … stronger than any being. 

He felt that he had wasted too much of the time. 

It was frustrating to feel that he had no strength. 

Why?!

WHY?!

It was at this moment when Leo became 'conscious' again.

He was no longer in his soul form but floating in the endless expanse of darkness that speckled with shimmering light of distant stars.

Somehow, he was no longer interested this 'new experience' and just looked at it with bored eyes. 

"System… Can I do it here?" Leo asked the system in his mind while his eyes were looking at the 'scenery' in a way that his pupils were and not looking at everything in the sight. They… were just too fast.

[Yes, the host can because of the rare spiritual root… but the host needs to know a QI absorbing method. The host might hurt himself with a Qi backlash, and it can be life-threatening due to the current environment -] Before the system could finish its sentence Leo interrupted it. 

"Nice." There was a maniacal smile on his face, and his pupils had a red glint that kept on changing color.

They kept on changing until his pupils changed to a radiant crimson with a slit appearing in its middle. His eyes had lost the humane characteristics and changed into that of a snake's.

The word 'Life-threatening' had somehow triggered deep … inside him, and it was by no fault the reason for a maniacal smile.

BOOM!

An explosion occurred in the middle of space that attracted the empresses who were chatting leisurely.
