From Secret Clan to the Divine Dynasty Chapter 410

Chapter 410: Chapter 390 Monarch Darren Fischer

“Congratulations! Congratulations, Lord Darren, you have finally ascended to the 5th Rank!”

“Our God has bestowed upon you even greater power! The Fischer family will forever be under the protection of God!”

“Congratulations, Father!”

In the grand hall underground, all members of the Fischer family, along with the Blood Receivers of the Dawn Church, were congratulating Darren on his new step.

Almost everyone's eyes and expressions were filled with sincerity, envy, and joy.

A small portion of people also wore expressions of urgency and anxiety, knowing that their own lifespans and time were tight and they might never have the chance to reach the 5th Rank.

Having regained his youth and vitality, Darren took a deep breath and could feel the weakness that followed the transformation, with his physical condition sliding down by about half while in that weakened state.

He looked at everyone present and couldn't help but smile.

“Thank you.”

“The Fischer family will definitely become even more powerful.”

The ceremony concluded smoothly.

Several hours of weakness finally passed…

After leaving the grand hall underground, Darren returned to his room, closed his eyes, and felt the powerful force surging within him.

It was a very subtle feeling.

Moreover, after reaching the 5th Rank, he suddenly felt a clearer and more definitive understanding of the power of Bloodline, as if the two could promote each other's progress!

Darren found it not difficult to understand.

“It's like someone who is very skilled at a sport often has a great advantage over ordinary people in similar sports…”

“So my great advancements in the Power of Consecution can also be reflected back onto the power of Bloodline. After all, the power contained in the power of Bloodline is also something that belongs to the soul, not just the flesh and blood.”

His deep eyes shone with insight.

“Blood is nothing more than the vessel of the soul.”

After his father's death, the desire for greater power grew even more in the depths of Darren's heart.

He knew very clearly that he was the person in the family most likely to break through to the 5th Rank, and then, in due course, the rest of the Dawn Church and the family would also ascend to the 4th and 5th Ranks.

The other person who would quickly step onto the 5th Rank, theoretically, was the former mayor Yeager, “the leader of the Dawnbringers” of the Dawn Church.

Because for the Path of Conquest's 5th Rank, the “Silver Glory Knight” promotion ceremony had been prepared by Yeager years in advance, and it was only one final step away from completion.

Darren often felt quite pleased when interacting with Yeager, thinking that the other's ideals were somewhat similar to his own.

Both men believed from the bottom of their hearts that, apart from blood relatives, people in the world generally only had a relationship of conquest or being conquered, ruling or being ruled.

“Next, the Fischer family must become completely powerful, and the first thing to do is to subjugate the entire territory of Cyart.”

“And ruling the small Eastern country of Cyart is only the first step for the Fischer family to step onto the world stage.”

As he pondered the future, he suddenly had a very clear revelation.

“Here it comes, I see, so that's the kind of Duke… If I try to push open the doors of the palace now, hmm, the chances of success are very high…”

“However, more important than that, there's a crucial matter I must confirm with Archer.”

Thereafter, Darren left his room and went to the room belonging to his son Archer within Fischer Manor.

“Father?”

Archer was slightly startled by his father's arrival.

Gazing calmly at his son, the newly appointed High Priest still filled with trepidation, Darren spoke with a touch of seriousness:

“Archer, I need to confirm something with you, about your 'Origin Spirit sea'. Is it possible… to restore a person's lifespan?”

Archer was taken aback for a moment and honestly shook his head, saying, “I don't know about such things.”

“No matter, let's experiment.”

Soon enough, Darren, accompanied by Archer, found a devout person who had lost some lifespan and had him attempt to restore it using the “Origin Spirit sea.”

But the outcome was… that it couldn't be done.

“Sigh.”

After seeing the result, Darren sighed, and Archer, looking up at his father with a sense of shame, said:

“I'm sorry, Father. I've disappointed you.”

“It doesn't matter. I was just thinking recently… if we had made the sacrifice earlier, could we have used its power to save your grandfather? It seems indeed I thought too much.”

Darren fell deep into thought, realizing that apart from the Philosopher's Stone, which claimed to be able to do anything, there was almost nothing in the world that could restore lifespan.

“If lifespan is considered a resource, then it is indeed a precious resource that is very difficult to regenerate but so easily lost, almost the most common of prices.”

He took a deep breath, left his son's room, and knew it was time to go even further.

Now Darren was actually very powerful, and with the combination of two powerful rune powers, he could even challenge opponents much stronger than low-level Monarchs.

But his journey to become stronger was not over.

Darren fully felt that the time to enter the Monarch Palace had arrived, so he decided to immediately seek his breakthrough in the Grand Hall beneath Fischer Manor.

The Stars Embrace Order was the heretical cult most fond of causing trouble at such times, yet they had nearly been annihilated, leaving only the mysterious and unknown non-human Black Starlight, but everyone knew they hardly posed a threat anymore.

After the Cyart King and the Wordless Elder were slain, the Adley Royal Family, controlled by the Words of Tranquility, had lost their head, posing even less of a threat.

Thus, after notifying the family members, he set his mind at ease and sought the breakthrough of Bloodline power within Fischer Manor.

Christine assured him, “Seek your breakthrough with peace of mind, the family will definitely protect you.”

Thereupon, Darren came to the Grand Hall underground, prayed to the great Lord of the Lost before the sacred object, then sat down cross-legged and closed his eyes.

In a daze, he seemed to enter an extraordinary palace.

It was all raging flames there, almost everything was burning, and occasionally, the roar of Flame Dragons could be heard in his ears.

The giant palace in front was woven from melting rocks and flowing magma, each part shining with fiery red and golden light, as if it were the most dazzling work of flame artwork between heaven and earth!

The palace's outer walls were composed of hard obsidian formed from cooling lava over ten thousand years, its surface covered with delicate lava patterns, majestic and mysterious like dragon scales.

Darren walked slowly forward, seeing two massive metallic doors of fiery red, carved with lifelike Flame Dragon patterns, the dragons' eyes inlaid with fiery rubies, as if they would open at any moment and spew out destructive flames.

He raised his hands and pushed.

“Ka…”

Huh?

The doors were easily pushed open!

Darren suddenly understood the situation, for after stepping onto the 5th Rank, one would possess an Extraordinary trait that “could touch the soul,” and after all, “the palace in the heart” was a manifestation of the soul's inner power.

Since he was already able to “touch the soul,” it was only natural that he would be able to exert more power within the palace without a doubt!

He naturally pushed open the doors, stepped inside the palace, and was met with a wave of scorching air. The interior of the palace was vast, with high domes above where slender rivers of magma flowed, intertwining into complex patterns in the air, eventually converging into the central giant fire pit.

Inside the fire pit, flames danced, the colors splendid, with deep blues and purples as well as dazzling golds, intertwining and spiraling, forming a sight to marvel at.

The palace was filled with various exquisite decorations, each one finely carved out of flame and metal, with huge dragon sculptures standing in every corner, gazing into the distant sky.

Darren looked towards the depths, where a giant throne made of pure gold and fiery rubies stood, engraved with intricate dragon patterns, each dragon so lifelike as if about to soar into the sky at any moment, surrounded by countless rings of flame that slowly rotated.

Darren walked slowly forward and sat on the throne.

Ascend to Monarch!

Among all the members of the Fischer family, he was the first to reach the level of Monarch with Bloodline power!

In an instant, the endless flames around became an awakened Domain!

“Blood Monarch of the Furious Flames Dragon, combined with the 5th Rank 'Shadow of the Demon'!”

His physical condition and mental power were both rapidly improving!

Only his spiritual power remained unchanged!

Darren could very clearly recognize that his strength had become much greater than it had been just a few days ago, and he was undoubtedly the only one in the Fischer family who could compare to Chris!

All of a sudden, everyone in the Fischer family felt a wave of intense heat, but it quickly disappeared because Darren had complete control over it.

He opened his eyes and found that he was still sitting in the same spot.

“Success!”

Darren quickly realized that the Bloodline Domain of the Furious Flames Dragon was a transformation enhancement of the body that could make his form grow into a giant dragon, greatly improving his physical condition and defensive power. At the same time, searing, high-temperature flames would surge around him, which would not only harm enemies but also allow him to restore his life force and mental power through those flames!

“Great Lord of the Lost, thank you for your protection.”

Darren left the grand hall underground and the next moment, he was already flying out of the Fischer Manor, with dragon wings sprouting from his back, swiftly flying to an uninhabited spot high in the sky.

He then activated both “Evil Demon Transformation” and “Flame Dragon Transformation” at the same time, his body swelling up to hundreds of meters in size, transforming into a terrifying demon dragon covered in flames and dark red scales!

“Aooo!”

Darren roared up to the sky, the sound intimidating a vast area.

“Hmm, my original physical condition was only a little over a thousand, and the 'Evil Demon Transformation' brought it up to over three thousand.”

“So after reaching the Monarch Level, my basic physical condition would be close to two thousand, the dragon transformation would get me to around four thousand, and after stacking the 'Domain Transformation' and 'Evil Demon Transformation' for a composite transformation, my physical condition could reach about seven thousand, give or take!”

Influenced by his father Byrne's lengthy teaching, Darren also liked to use rational analysis and data to assess changes and strengths in extraordinary powers.

“It's a pity, after stacking the two transformations, the calculation method isn't simply multiplicative…”

He fully felt that at this moment, his own power was terrifyingly strong!

Even if Marquis Vlad, a mid-level Monarch, were to be reborn and they both transformed without resorting to other powers for battle, he could go toe to toe with him for ten minutes relying solely on physical combat.

And with the addition of the rune powers of the “Emerald Ring” and “Soul Dice”…

Deep inside, Darren was very clear that the power he now possessed was extremely strong and completely beyond comparison to just a few days ago.

Right then, he felt that he must have been asleep for at least several months, and that the leader of the Dawnbringers, Yeager, might have already successfully broken through to the 5th Rank “Silver Glory Knight.”

“If he could only complete the ritual successfully… but the most important thing is actually to help Uncle Chris reach the 6th Rank of the Path of Tranquility…”

“Apostle of the Night.”
