Chapter 858: Cursed Totem Skeleton!
At this moment, above Jacob's cocoon of kaleidoscopic lights, a symbol of infinity materialized. Its surface was filled with mystical glyphs, and the moment it appeared, it released a terrifying pressure around him.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
Furthermore, the infinity symbol flickered and became increasingly vivid and solid from its ethereal form. As the infinity symbol solidified, a hazy phantom of ethereal lights cleared around it as if it were a construct.
However, this ethereal, hazy construct seemed to have reached its limit and couldn't come into existence as the infinity symbol started to lose momentum once it was completely solidified.
Nonetheless, the vivid infinity symbol was a sight to behold and majestic as it released terrifying, unknown power. The glyphs were filled with elemental laws, and there were a total of thirteen of them.
Twelve glyphs belonged to the cosmic vestiges' elements that Jacob had integrated because they resonated with the kaleidoscopic lights covering Jacob's body.
On the other hand, the thirteenth glyph in the center of the twelve glyphs didn't have any color; it seemed translucent, but apparently, it was the most terrifying one as it was the source of that unknown energy, and all the other glyphs seemed to be connected with it! If any Legendary King State Rank expert saw this infinity symbol, they would instantly recognize it because it was the manifestation of a Soul Totem that every legendary king will have once they reached the Legendary King State. Those glyphs on the totem were known as the Elemental Law Glyphs, which contained the mysteries of elemental laws!
However, what would scare those legendary kings was the fact that unlike the other legendary kings' soul totem manifestations, which only had a single elemental law glyph and usually manifested in the random shape of one's comprehended law, Jacob's soul totem had 13 elemental law glyphs. At the same time, the shape of his soul totem was also unique.
The elemental laws weren't simple, and no one could gain mastery over a complete law; it was simply a pipe dream for a legendary king.
Typically, the laws that the legendary rank experts comprehend were in their initial forms, and they could only make progress in a single concept of those elemental laws or two if someone had heaven-defying talents. The higher the tier of law, the more complex it would be, and so did its concepts.
Like the Superior Tier law, the Space Law has an unknown number of concepts. In the legendary plains, only three concepts were recorded: Space Teleportation, Space Compression, and Space Travel.
If a legendary rank can fully comprehend and master any one of these three concepts, they can become legendary kings. Furthermore, the concept that one master also influenced the manifestation of their soul totem. Once that concept merged with a soul totem, it created a law glyph, which was the key to progressing further in that law and becoming a 'Myth'!
However, Jacob's soul totem was extremely special and peculiar because, unlike the legendary rank, his soul became a soul star without a magic core, which is essential to making progress. The magic core will have to be evolved at the same time as the soul. On top of that, he had thirteen law glyphs and an infinity-shaped soul totem manifestation!
Lastly, the hazy construct around his soul totem manifestation was the sign of his breakthrough to the next stage, which made him a Quasi-Myth, a rank that only a few had achieved in the entire history of legendary plains!
At this moment, the complete soul totem manifestation suddenly released a hum, and it slowly started to fade away. So did the blinding kaleidoscopic lights around Jacob, revealing Jacob's figure within. As Jacob's figure became clearer, he seemed to have changed!
Although his skeletal appearance remained, his gray skeleton was now translucent white, as if carved with jade crystal, and the longevity schema's runic marking became even more vivid and detailed.
But the biggest difference was a tiny kaleidoscopic infinity symbol now etched vertically on his Frontal Eminence. If someone looked more carefully, the vertical infinity symbol was a cluster of mystical glyphs!
At this moment, sparks appeared in his hollow sockets, and thereafter, ethereal golden flames ignited as Jacob finally regained his sense after going through a myriad of things. It was like a long dream.
But Jacob knew it wasn't a dream because everything he experienced in that dream was deeply engraved in his mind. He could also feel terrifying changes in his own body, and his prowess was limitless.
Jacob looked at his skeletal hands, which were now crystal white. The runic lines on them were slowly fading, but the vertical infinity symbol remained. Not only that, but he could feel his Eyes of Judge had evolved again; for now, he could see things that previously required soul force assistance!
However, what drew Jacob's attention were the memories he had received after he had completed this second phase. As he flipped his palm, a miniature version of his soul totem manifested above it.
"So, this is the Cursed Immortal Totem? No, this is just the manifested form of my soul. My entire skeleton is the Cursed Immortal Totem. It's not a Soul Totem, and that's why it's called the Cursed Totem Skeleton!
"As long as even a fragment of my being remains, whether it's soul, blood, or skeleton fragment if it existed, I can never die because my cursed heart will be transferred into that part with my true soul, and I can be revived by paying a steep price.
"This is also the second ability of Cursed Immortality, Infinite Remains!" Jacob's eyes flickered profoundly before he clenched his hand, and the soul totem vanished.
Jacob was extremely excited when he refined those memories and discovered the truth behind the Cursed Totem Skeleton. Now, he had become almost unkillable; as long as a silver fleck of him remained, he would never die!
The Infinite Remains' ability of Cursed Immortality was even more practical and vital to Jacob than the Infinity Blood Sacrifice!
