Chapter 218: Legendary Rank

Jacob wasn't surprised at all since he had already noticed the change in the infinity pendant when he accessed it for the meat.

As for the increased time in Immortika, it was also quite good since it could easily track down hidden enemies around him accurately. He didn't trust the Star Watch scanner completely.

"Heh, I started to miss your expression a little." Immortika wrote about seeing Jacob remain indifferent.

Jacob merely sneered, "If you have time for this nonsense, why don't you answer my questions? Then, I might actually be surprised."

"Oh, you will be going to surprise. Let's start with the Cursed Heart. Your current heart is no longer the heart you're familiar with. Its shape, structure, functions, and purpose had been completely changed after you completed the first stage.

"Firstly, your heart cannot age any longer, which means it would never weaken no matter what, and as a result, you will naturally experience some changes in your body.

"Your heart, in particular, is no longer just for pumping blood or keeping you alive. It is a new organ that has all the functions of your heart, as well as some that transcend it.

"Like you just experienced that you can stop your heartbeat but still can breathe as well as your blood flow also won't get affected by it. This is also one of the perks of a cursed heart.

"Most importantly, a Cursed Heart is the foundation of the Cursed Immortal Physique, and without it, you won't be able to move forward in the scripture. You could say it was one of the biggest hurdles on your way to immortality!" Immortika wrote.

Jacob's eyes shimmered with a hint of ecstasy when he read to this point.

Immortika continued, "As for its limit, it is had virtually none, but this didn't mean your other body part would be able to handle it. That's why your lifespan is only 250 years right now. It is the actual limit of your body. So aging is no longer your concern.

"As for your strength, when your hunger is completely gone, you should be as strong a peak of Extraordinary-Tier-6 life form, and your body will be able to handle 15X acceleration.

"Speaking of which, your fluid acceleration should no longer be a threat to you as long as you won't exceed your body limit because your heart rate is now completely under your control. You just need some practice to get familiar with it."

Jacob's lips curled before he asked, "Then why didn't I have any magic right now? You said yourself that no one can enter the extraordinary tier without a 3-star magic core."

"Heh, do you really believe you're like others?" Immortika didn't reply but questioned instead.

Jacob pursed his lips, "Fine, you win." He knew asking was useless since he already had guessed this much. He wasn't like others because of Cursed Immortality.

"I told you, I'm not a magic book. You're on your own in that field!" Immortika wrote.

"Fine, now about the second stage?" Jacob questioned with a solemn look.

"Cursed Blood Condensing is a relatively straightforward stage from the first stage. All you need to do is either squeeze the blood out of a heart or just eat it raw. Both things result in the same conclusion.

"Your new heart will do the rest as it will automatically be activated once you consume the heart blood of some legendary being or anything closely related to one until all the blood in your body is converted!"

Jacob frowned, "What are legendary beings?"

Although he was happy about the simplicity of this stage, he knew the true terror lies within the legendary beings he required the heart blood of!

"Hahaha, you might've already guessed it. Legendary is the Sixth Rank of the Power System in Zodiac Plains. Common, Rare, Extraordinary, Epic, Unique, and then Legendary.

"Above Extraordinary is Epic Rank with 9 Tiers, then above Epic is Unique, with 9 Tiers. Lastly, Legendary Rank, it didn't just have Tiers but different states as well.

"First State, Fable Legendary State, which had twelve tiers.

"Second State, Legendary Noble State with nine tiers.

"Third State, Legendary Lord, with six tiers.

"Fourth and last State, Legendary King State, with three tiers.

"I will only warn you here, you better not even dare to think about going after a Legendary Rank expert, even a Fable Legendary of First Tier, because even if you used the strongest weapon in your mind, you will only get obviated!

"Even a First-Tier Unique Rank can easily kill you without lifting a finger. Such an example will be the Infant Fire Wyvern you managed to kill.

"A Fire Wyvern had four growth stages, Infant, childhood, adolescence, and adulthood. It was born extraordinary, became epic in childhood, reached unique in adolescence, and Fable Legendary in adulthood!"

Jacob felt palpation just when he read about the Wyvern and felt like he had a closed shave with death, and if that Wyvern was in its childhood stage, then he was most likely dead already!

"Ignorance is bliss...." He mumbled hoarsely.

"Hehehe, exactly. If that Wyvern were awake, you would die without even getting a chance to play any trick despite it still being in the infant stage.

"Still, you managed to hunt a creature with a Legendary bloodline and potential, which also explained the decedent part. All you need is to search for creatures with a legendary potential and bloodline like that Infant Fire Wyvern!"

Jacob's eyes suddenly went wide when he thought of something. He quickly asked, "Then does this also mean...."

"Yes, the Wyvern heart in your pendant will be sufficient to convert your blood significantly. Since it had over 90% chance of becoming a Fable Legendary, you might annex one of Fire Wyvern's innate abilities like its fire magic talent!"

"What?! Are you serious?" Jacob was baffled as he lost his calm demeanor. This was simply too unbelievable for him.

He never thought the Wyvern heart he was storing for another purpose would have a use for him.

"Hehe, why would I joke with you about this thing? A Legendary creature like Wyverns had a complete Fable Legendary Bloodline, which gave them over 90% chances of reaching the Legendary Rank and granted them terrifying innate abilities.

"This will also grant them natural superiority over those who are born from a unique species and had no destiny with the Legendary Rank whatsoever. Even those with a diluted bloodline of legendary rank species couldn't compare to a complete Legendary Bloodline.

"In your case, as long as you consumed the hearts of someone with a complete legendary bloodline while being in the second stage of the body transformation, you will have a small chance to annex an ability through their heart blood.

"But then again, such creatures will be protected by their kin like treasures, not just lying around in some graveyard for you to assassinate. So, I suggest you don't have your hopes up or try going after them in your greed.

"Besides, you can't continuously consume the same type of heart blood. The effect will be a 90% decrease with each consumption until you don't receive anything."

Jacob felt a bucket of bold water pour on his head as all his excitement died down, and he regained his cold demeanor again.

Nevertheless, he was still thrilled since he already had a chance to acquire something that only someone with a complete Fable Legendary bloodline would have. Not to mention he can instantly convert some of his blood into cursed blood.

However, he didn't dare to act recklessly since he was still feeling lingering hunger, and if his hunger increased after he consumed the Wyvern's heart, then he might fall into danger.

So, he was planning on hunting some magic beasts first to complete his body compatibility with his current heart, and only then can he consume the Wyvern heart.

Jacob couldn't help but look at the cursed immortality and question, "Then this also means that such a bloodline will only exist in those Unique Species, right?"

"Why, of course, not just any specie can become a Unique Species. A good bloodline played a very important part in it. An epic race will need luck to become a Unique Rank, while for a Unique to Legendary Race, even luck can't help them. You have to do your research. I can only help you with this much!"

"What about their magic capacity?" Jacob squinted his eyes. This was the biggest threat in Jacob's eyes.

"Hehe, since this stage didn't involve magic, then I can't tell you anything about it. You're on your own. I have already answered your questions related to the second stage as well as revealed benefits. So, don't be greedy!" Immortika mockingly wrote.

Jacob frowned, but he didn't dwell on the matter since he knew this was where the book had drawn its line. Now he was on his own again.

Jacob then closed the book and stood up from his position. He had bought many things from the dark ruins, and it was time to study them.

But first, he needed to quench his hunger fully!
