Targaryen Who Turned Dragon

Chapter 140 - A New God of Elements

"The Conferred God Battle's first-round, second match… begin!"

Wu Guike was the first to strike but it didn't go quite as he had planned. Aerion grabbed his halberd by the axe and took it from his hands. Then, with some force, he sent it flying off the Conferred God Stage.

"Do you practice hand-to-hand combat in the Divine Martial Realm?" Aerion asked.

"We do, occasionally..."

"Hmph, you will need all the help you can get." Aerion smiled.

BOOM.

Wu Guike was sent flying all over the Conferred God Stage. He was unable to keep up with Aerion's Boundless Fists... in fact, he was outmatched in every clash. Aerion had even intentionally weakened himself to Wu Guike's level but even then, Wu Guike couldn't do anything. Aerion's defence was impenetrable while his offence was unpredictable, this deadly combination led to his swift and decisive victory.

Aerion swept away the dust with his wind profound energy. "I hope you learned something."

"Wu Guike has left the Conferred God Stage and has been defeated. He will enter the Losers Group. Aerion Targaryen wins and so, he will enter the Conferred Gods Group!" Honourable Qu Hui announced.

Aerion walked off the Conferred God Stage and decided to rest in his room for the day. The rest of the first-round matchups weren't of any interest. The strong faced the weak and so, the result was rather predictable. The strong would advance. The battles between the top geniuses of the Conferred God Battle would come later it would seem.

He entered the Seventh Heaven Pearl to refine some pills. There came a time where he had an intriguing idea, something he had never thought of before.

"Rotias, is it possible to mix two elements into one?"

"Yes, the Heretic God is most known for doing so. Any Ancestral God is capable, in fact, but some elements tend to be a bit more difficult than others for some of us. With the Heretic God's Legacy, you're at a great advantage. Ice and water should be your weakness, but, instead, it's a strength. And the tribulation lightning... it has granted you knowledge of the elements that ascends far beyond what any of us knew. You should be the most qualified person to combine two elements in all of Primal Chaos except for Him."

"Hmm, I suppose I have Yun Che and the tribulation lightning to thank for that."

Rinnegan.

Aerion grabbed a mirror and looked at the reflection of his eyes.

"The Eyes of God... Rotias, have you ever seen anything like it?"

"No... it is something foreign to the Primal Chaos Dimension."

"I see."

Aerion felt enlightened the moment he had opened those eyes. The divine knowledge of the Elemental Laws he had gained temporarily during his tribulation lightning had returned.

"Water, Wind, Lightning, Fire and Earth... these are the basic elements, in both worlds."

"Both worlds?"

"Yes. Though, both energies work differently so a cultivator simply cannot access the other. My profound energy, however, seems to have underwent a drastic change... I can mould my own profound energy into different forms with ease ever since I gained these eyes. More so, I have reached the peak in terms of every Element so I can use them all at will. The Wind and Earth seeds are rather unnecessary now except for the absolute immunity."

"Alright then, show me something."

Aerion smiled. "Very well. For example, Water and Earth make..."

He formed both water and earth on his left palm and fused them together. Then he released some of the fused profound energy onto the ground.

"What!?"

From the grass field, a giant tree emerged. Its leaves were as green as the grass and the branches were thicker than some trees.

"Wood." Aerion proudly announced as he observed his creation. "They call it... Mokuton, also known as Wood Release."

"I've never seen anything like that... water and earth combining into wood. When I wanted to create wood, I simply made wood... your method is intriguing, indeed."

"I don't have any profound arts or skills for this new element so I'll probably have to make my own, which shouldn't be too difficult. But this Wood element isn't all I can do... there's plenty more!"

"Fire and Water naturally suppress each other, don't they? If I transform my profound energy... there's a different result."

"Hmm?"

"Boil Release."

Fire and Water fused into his left palm before he sent the result straight into the tree.

...

The tree slowly corroded away under the mist of the corrosive vapour.

"Both worked together perfectly... instead of being suppressed. What more can you do? Show me!" Rotias politely asked.

"Alright, alright, let's see."

Aerion proceeded to show off his Ice Release, Lava Release, Storm Release, Explosion Release, Scorch Release and Magnet Release.

"Hmph, so you have many special abilities now, eh?"

"Mhm... but there's something more these eyes have given me!"

"Hmm?"

"The Six Paths Technique... well, there are seven paths in total. I've comprehended each path to a point of complete mastery, however, I have yet to use them in any sort of practical sense. I'll have to make time for that later."

"I see... it sounds interesting."

Aerion spent the entire day testing out all of the elements he could. This time he didn't transform his profound energy and instead combined two profound arts. The combination of the Ice Phoenix God Investiture Canon and Phoenix Flames resulted in something truly terrifying; the Ice Flame. However, unlike Boil Release, it took him an extremely long time to fuse the two into the Ice Flame... but it was clearly superior in strength as well. Then he tried out the Golden Crow Flames with the Phoenix Flames and created a Crimson Flame. However, that was not the end, he continued to try out different combinations.

He managed to combine the Crimson Flame and Ghost Flame into one which resulted in an extremely celestial yet frightening flame. It was mostly heavenly white with the exception of its edges which were crimson.

"This flame... it's truly terrifying." Rotias chuckled. "I'm glad I don't have to face it."

"What should I name it... Ghost Crimson Flame? Perhaps, Crimson Ghost Flame? Hmm, that doesn't sound too bad. Onto the next one."

Aerion proceeded to try out the White Tiger's Tale of the End with his Crimson Ghost Flame which only changed it into Crimson Ghost Lightning. A lightning version of the Crimson Ghost Flame.

Heretic God... the Creation God of Elements who? Prepare to meet this God, who is, in fact, the ANCESTRAL GOD of Elements!

Aerion fell onto the grass field, breathing heavily. "I think I overdid it a little. Rotias, wake me up tomorrow."

"Alright, rest well. After all, this Profound God Convention is so competitive, you need to be at your best for any hopes of victory..."

Aerion laughed. "Yes, indeed."

Today was the second day of the Conferred God Battle and both the Conferred God Group and Loser Group would fight today. Aerion paid no attention to the losers group and looked for his name on the Conferred God Group.

Oh, how wonderful.

"My Lord, your match-up today is Shui Meiyin!"

"I can see that clearly, Robb. How does she fight people so much stronger than her?"

"I made sure to watch all of the matches and her technique was the most interesting of all. She battles with her soul power!"

"Soul power?"

"She has something called a Divine Stainless Soul... and with it, she can easily invade other people's soul worlds."

Aerion sighed. "I have no experience whatsoever in soul combat... in fact, I've never heard of such a thing. Maybe I'll lose this one?"

"No way, you'll probably get the hang of it after a few seconds. Your soul should be far stronger than Shui Meiyin's so losing is very unlikely."

"Little dragon, if you find yourself in need of help, I can definitely scare the little and innocent girl off. In fact, your memories should do a perfect job."

What do you mean by that?

"Ah, you'll see." Rotias laughed rather wildly. "Serves her right for invading other soul worlds, kekeke..."

"Robb, your opponent should be more troublesome than my own..."

"Lu Lengchuan." Robb nodded. "I'll have to draw out some more of my real strength, somehow..."

"I'm sure you will," Aerion reassured him.

"The First Round and First Battle of the Conferred Gods Group, Glazed Light Realm's Shui Meiyin, Snow Song Realm's Aerion Targaryen, enter the Conferred God Stage!"

Aerion calmly landed onto the Conferred God Stage and looked at his opponent.

Soul power... I wonder, how strong is my soul?

Rotias coughed. "Let's see, the Azure Dragon, Phoenix, Golden Crow, White Tiger, Fire Dragon God, yourself and myself. Quite a soul lineup, if I do say so myself. Her little Divine Stainless Body isn't anything special compared to your own soul power. But you should avoid using them since that will bring unwanted attention to you... kekeke, my masterplan will work perfectly."

Master plan?

"Leave everything to me, you can take a nap or something."

...

"Big Brother Aerion, you should be careful."

"Be careful? Hmph, you don't pose a threat to this King."

"We'll see about that, won't we?"

Aerion smiled. "We will."

Rotias, I leave the soul battle to you.

"Good, very good!"

Why do I have a bad feeling about this? It seems as if you're going to try something mischievous...

"Hmm, it isn't that bad, you can trust me... right?"

Yes, of course...
