Water Mage in the Flame Realm-Chapter 400 - 387: So It Was "Sky

Andrew turned his hand, and in the palm of his hand, a purely black heavy sword quietly appeared, then was grasped by Andrew.

This heavy sword was the lifebound magical artifact that Andrew condensed after his real tier broke through to Tier Six.

The breakthrough to Tier Six was partly due to the recent fusion of a drop of "Blood of the Fire God," and partly due to the natural resonance with the Water God Realm after arriving there.

"Not bad." The old man smiled slightly, not hiding the approval in his eyes.

However, he quickly restrained his smile, similarly turning his hand, and in his palm, a pure black silently condensed and extended, finally also transforming into a black heavy sword!

The old man clearly followed the warrior route of the "Deep Blue Guard" with his Black Whale body, yet the black heavy sword in his hand exuded a rich aura of Water Magic, even more perfect than the heavy sword in Andrew’s hand.

"This...? How did you do it?" Andrew stared at the sword in the old man’s hand, shocked, but more excited and curious.

The old man shrugged and said, "The same way you did it—using the power of this Water God Realm created by Li—just like that."

Andrew frowned slightly, thinking that the way he condensed the heavy sword was not only through resonance with the Water God Realm. The drop of Blood of the Fire God that fused into himself with the help of the Water God’s remnant soul was also a very important part.

Using the Water Element as the foundation, incorporating a trace of the Fire God’s power, allowing free control of the water’s temperature, and further controlling the water’s form, so it could be liquid water, solid ice, or gaseous steam.

——This was the way he condensed the seemingly simple black heavy sword in his hand.

The problem was that the old man in front of him should have purely been Water Element.

Or did the old man, like him, also acquire a trace of Fire Element power in some way, based on the Water Element?

Thinking of this, Andrew’s heart moved: "Right, you’ve been influenced by the ’Heart Fire Reincarnation’ magic of Fire God Xu... Could it be—"

The old man did not answer, only emitting a trace of intense fire power from his body.

Indeed, because of the "Heart Fire Reincarnation," he also had a portion of Fire Element power within his body, deeply embedded in this theoretically pure Water Element Black Whale body!

"But actually..." The old man restrained the trace of Fire Element power and put away the heavy sword before speaking again, "...even without Xu leaving this strand of ’Heart Fire Reincarnation’ Fire Element power in my body and soul, I could still form the heavy sword.

This is because everyone, every living being, naturally carries a kind of Fire Element power, known as the ’Fire of Life.’ With the Water Element as the root, combined with life’s inherent Fire of Life, and leveraging the power of this Water God Realm, one can still condense the heavy sword."

Andrew listened carefully, seemingly understanding, but still felt he missed something, failing to grasp the most critical point.

The old man slowly said, "Li’s power, at its essence, is not purely water but layered: within the water, there is actually a trace of flame. Water wraps around the fire, and fire warms the water in return. A portion of water evaporates into steam, supplementing the sky—

Isn’t this the world’s form? The ocean wraps around the earth’s heat, that heat warms the ocean in return, a portion of sea water evaporates into steam, completing the world’s atmosphere, protecting human beings who live between the sky and ocean."

Hearing this, Andrew’s eyes unconsciously widened.

The old man’s words were very plain and simple, yet they seemed to gently open a door to a completely new world for Andrew.

Before this, Andrew had never viewed the world in such a way.

Andrew moved his mouth a bit, somewhat foolishly asking, "So, does this mean that the Water God... Lady Li’s power naturally carries ’Water and Fire United’? Doesn’t necessarily need Fire God Xu’s cooperation, and inherently has both water and fire?"

The old man said, "Otherwise, Water and Fire United, the process of two people practicing and understanding together, ultimately naturally leads each to reach a higher level. Not only Li, but Xu’s ’Heart Fire Reincarnation’ also contains a trace of Water Element power."

Paused, the old man continued, "Li surpasses Xu in using water to wrap fire, then leveraging the fire’s heat to evaporate water, and thus expands beyond water and fire to a new attribute, the concept of ’Sky.’

With the earth’s heat, the ocean wrapping the earth, and the sky, that’s what forms a real ’world.’ That was how she fully broke through from ordinary Divine Level to a higher tier, the ’Realm of Creation.’

Sky.

The old man emphasized the sky.

At that moment, Andrew finally understood something, or more accurately, resolved a doubt that had existed in his heart.

During negotiations at the Royal Court, Andrew once wondered: When the Water Element encounters Earth Fire Professionals, water restrains fire, but conversely, water is restrained by the Earth Attribute. Theoretically, it should be mutual restraint.

However, the actual combat experience was that, as a Water Magic Lord facing Earth Fire Professionals, the Elemental Attribute was a complete suppression, with no sense of being restrained.

Back then, Andrew couldn’t understand, vaguely guessing: Is there more than just water in my Elemental Attribute?

Now it is thoroughly confirmed: There is indeed more than just water.

There’s also fire.

And the "Sky" attribute that emerged from the union of water and fire.
