A dozen Flame Impacts crashed into Barok's Runic Shield, stirring up ripples and making the Runic Shield's runes frantically move.
Barok's body was like a rubber ball as he was ruthlessly sent flying by the dozen Flame Impacts. After flying for several dozen meters, Barok waved his staff and a pair of Flame Wings sprouted from his back, allowing him to hover in the air.
Seeing that Flame Elemental slowly walking out of the huge Fire Wall, Barok's expression turned gloomy.
He hadn't expected Lin Yun's Fire Elemental Incarnation to be so powerful. It was definitely comparable to a level 38 Flame Elemental. Its fire immunity was frighteningly high, and Low Tier Fire Spells simply couldn't injure it.
Lin Yun held his Draconic Staff with a sneer on his face.
'Does that idiot think I can use Ice Spells?'
The Raging Flame Plane's source was fire power. The entire plane was filled with fire elements, so the power of Fire Spells was naturally the strongest. Using Ice Spells to deal with a 9th Rank Archmage proficient in Fire Spells, was he crazy?
The people of this era didn't pay attention to Elemental Incarnation. Very few people knew that Elemental Incarnation was a must-have spell for mages in the future.
Although Elemental Incarnation didn't have a clear rank, and the higher the rank, the more powerful it would be, there was a hidden rank.
Under normal circumstances, a High Mage could only use 6th Tier Spells at most, but as their understanding of spells increased, their casting speed and incantations were optimized, the power of the spells would surpass the 6th Tier. At the Ultimate Level, a 6th Tier Spell could burst with the power of an 8th Tier Spell, and it would only be stronger, not weaker!
At the peak of Noscent's development, everyone was a genius. The body was no longer the factor limiting the limits of a mage. Comprehension ability, knowledge, insight, and keen thinking were the factors limiting the strength of a mage.
Being able to make a 6th Tier Spell burst with the power of a 7th Tier Spell, or even an Ultimate Spell, at the High Mage realm, although there were very few, there were still such people.
And this kind of person, without exception, would end up standing at the peak of Noscent.
Elemental Incarnation could be considered a Levelless Spell that would increase in rank along with the mage's rank. Originally, it hadn't been taken seriously until a powerhouse known as the Flame Monarch appeared. Only then did people take it seriously.
The Flame Monarch was the one who unearthed the concept of hidden ranks. At the time, the Flame Monarch was a 9th Rank Archmage when he accidentally fell into a Fire Elemental Plane. Although that Fire Elemental Plane wasn't the largest Fire Elemental Plane and didn't even have a Heaven Rank Flame Elemental Overlord, it had over a hundred Lesser Overlords!
There were millions of Fire Elemental Creatures in the Fire Elemental Plane.
At that time, when the people who rushed over to rescue him discovered this, they gave up on trying to save the Flame Monarch. This was because he had fallen in the center of this plane. If they wanted to save him, they had to kill their way into the center.
They dispatched three Heaven Rank powerhouses to attack, but they were powerless halfway. There were too many Fire Elemental lifeforms, and a Heaven Rank powerhouse was in a difficult situation when facing several dozen Lesser Flame Overlords and several hundred thousand Fire Elemental lifeforms. In the end, they could only retreat.
At that time, the Flame Monarch killed his way out. With the power of a 9th Rank Archmage, he killed several dozen level 39 Lesser Flame Overlords and over three hundred thousand Fire Elemental lifeforms.
After killing his way out, the Flame Monarch saved three battered and exhausted Heaven Rank powerhouses who had fallen into a bitter struggle.
At that time, everyone discovered that the Flame Monarch only used Fire Elemental Incarnation, and those Fire Elemental lifeforms' spells simply couldn't injure him. He was completely immune to all fire spells, fire spells under the 9th Tier were completely immune.
And what was even more shocking was that after the Flame Monarch sent away the people who came to rescue him, he returned to the Fire Elemental Plane and spent a month to massacre the entire Fire Elemental Plane. Over a hundred level 39 Lesser Flame Overlords, several hundred level 38 Lesser Flame Overlords, as well as several hundred thousand Fire Elemental lifeforms, were all killed by the Flame Monarch alone.
This kind of accomplishment shocked all of Noscent. When everyone learned that the root of all this was Fire Elemental Incarnation, a wave of research on Fire Elemental Incarnation flooded Noscent.
The concept of hidden ranks was also raised by the Flame Monarch, and it was finally confirmed. Under normal circumstances, Elemental Incarnation would only be equivalent to a mage's rank, but after in-depth research, practice, and research, the power of Elemental Incarnation could be increased like an ordinary spell. Even the final result of the research was that it could be used as an Ultimate Spell.
As long as Fire Elemental Incarnation could be upgraded to an Ultimate Spell, it would mean that fire spells of the same rank would be completely immune to it, and the power and casting ability of fire spells would also increase.
Just thinking about it, how frightening was this …
A mage army specialized in fire spells, over a hundred Archmages, over ten thousand mages … The other side might only need one Archmage that could upgrade Fire Elemental Incarnation to an Ultimate Spell to nibble away at them bit by bit without suffering any losses.
The Elemental Plane that originally needed a large mage army to spend decades to conquer could now be easily conquered by a mage proficient in Elemental Incarnation in a year. How big of a difference was this?
It was too big …
Not only would there be no losses, but the benefits would also sharply increase!
Noscent's journey to conquer planes was pushed to its peak at this time because of the excavation of Elemental Incarnation.
When Bane conquered the Undead Plane, the most troublesome opponent he encountered wasn't a Bone Dragon, nor was it a Death Knight. It was only a Skeleton. From the lowest Skeleton, it had become a Skeleton Emperor. Its formidable power could tear through any defensive spell, and its powerful body could make most spells lose their effect.
And the biggest reason Bane could kill that Skeleton Emperor was because of the Nihility Ghost Incarnation!
The Nihility Ghost Incarnation, which had been researched to the pinnacle, was immune to the physical attacks of any lifeform of the same rank!
The Skeleton Emperor's terrifying power, which could tear through space, suddenly lost its effect and was ultimately ground to death by Bane's High Tier Spells.
Unfortunately, the people of this era simply didn't know about this.
Barok naturally didn't know, so he ended up in tragedy.
Lin Yun had been practicing Elemental Incarnation ever since he was a Mage, and his mastery of Fire Elemental Incarnation was the highest, especially after obtaining the Book of Mantras and Constance's skull. Although he couldn't be immune to fire spells of the same rank, he could still reduce the damage of fire spells by more than half. When using Fire Elemental Incarnation, swimming in ordinary lava wouldn't be a problem.
Barok's mastery of fire spells was indeed better than that of ordinary mages, but now, he saw several dozen fire spells falling on Lin Yun's body like a cool breeze. It only made Lin Yun's Fire Elemental Incarnation slightly fluctuate, but it didn't have much of an effect.
Barok was on the verge of collapse, he couldn't understand.
'Damnit, what the hell is going on? Is that damned guy using some kind of special defensive method? Why can't my spells do any damage to him?
The burning flames were completely useless. Apart from the explosion and impact fire spells, which had a slight reaction, everything else was a lie.
'This is too illogical …'
Barok no longer had the arrogance he had at the start. He kept dodging like a jerboa while releasing fire spells, unwilling to give up.
'Damnit, I don't believe it!'
'I don't have time to use High Tier Spells, 5th Tier and 6th Tier fire spells can't cause any damage, so I'll just have to drown him with spells …'
As he thought of this, a bit of hope appeared in Barok's heart.
He gnashed his teeth and waved his staff, sending a flood of Low Tier fire spells towards Lin Yun.
Lin Yun, who had been continuously attacking, paused. He wasn't scared, he was a bit stunned.
'Is that guy an idiot? Have you ever seen a Flame Elemental burnt to death by Low Tier Flames? This isn't a matter of quantity, it's a matter of quality … '
As for Barok, he was overjoyed when he saw Lin Yun's attack pause.
'Damned b * stard, I finally found your weakness. No matter what special defensive method you used, it definitely has a limit. As long as I keep attacking and increase the frequency of my attacks, you will definitely die.
'Stupid rat, you actually dared to offend a 9th Rank Archmage, offend the Black Tower, I'll make you pay the price with your life today!'
In an instant, the flood of flames submerged Lin Yun.
Lin Yun 'body was like a leaf floating in the water, drifting back. It seemed that Barok's tactics were working.
Unfortunately, Lin Yun 'body suddenly disappeared and turned into a ball of flames that followed the flood of flames. After two Flame Flashes, he appeared five meters away from Barok.
Three blue flames fell from the sky, sandwiching Barok in the middle.
This time, Barok thoroughly went crazy.
'Damnit, how could this be? This is illogical, impossible …'
As the three Bursting Flames were about to fall, Barok's keen control over fire spells took effect and a thought suddenly popped up in his mind.
'It's because of Fire Elemental Incarnation!'
Just as this thought appeared, Barok didn't have time to think and instantly used Fire Elemental Incarnation.
The next moment, three balls of blue flames sandwiched Barok in the middle and exploded …
"Boom, boom, boom …"
