Nirvana LV4

Chapter 044

Snape, upon waking, was completely unaware that a mask had appeared on his face.

"Try changing your appearance."

Li Mu reminded him.

Snape tried it and immediately discovered he could now easily alter his own appearance.

His skin's toughness had also increased to the point where it could withstand ordinary curses without injury.

The potions he brewed couldn't possibly bring about such significant enhancements, and his potions didn't possess any disguise effects.

There was only one truth: the Phoenix City Lord had used his enhanced wand to strengthen the potions he brewed.

"I need two hundred bottles of potions."

Li Mu said, patting Snape's shoulder with satisfaction.

"I will complete it as quickly as possible."

Snape nodded in awe and continued to brew the perfected Dragonblood Potion Type I.

A few days later, Snape had produced two hundred bottles of potions.

In batches of ten, Li Mu converted them into Spark Potions upon receiving them. He then selected elites from the Ministry of Magic, the younger generation elites from the Pureblood Families of the British Magic World, and finally, elites who had graduated from Hogwarts. He bestowed upon them the Spark Potion and the Spark Mask.

All these wizards who received the Spark Mask were named Phoenix Apostles.

Through Legilimency, Li Mu could know all the thoughts of the Phoenix Apostles.

Through the Imperius Curse, he could directly control the consciousness of the Phoenix Apostles at critical moments. While the Imperius Curse wouldn't directly control consciousness normally, it would subtly brainwash the Phoenix Apostles, accumulating over time until they all became his loyal followers.

Although there were only one hundred Phoenix Apostles, their combat power and influence were terrifying.

Any one of them, with the investment of Three-Card HuoZhong Source Power, would not be inferior to renowned wizards like Professor McGonagall.

Thus, in just a few days, the disorganized wizards of the entire British Magic World had been organized. The world's first Professional Wizard Army, exceeding a thousand people in scale, had been forcibly conscripted and formed. The commanders of this wizard army were the one hundred Phoenix Apostles.

As for the remaining one hundred bottles of potions, Li Mu had prepared them for elites from other countries.

He could expand further later if he had enough HuoZhong Source Power. At this stage, he didn't have more HuoZhong Source Power to waste.

Deducting the one thousand cards consumed by the Nightmare Crystal Ball, and the four hundred cards consumed by the Phoenix Apostle plan.

Coupled with the additional consumption from the Kindling Tomes these past few days, he now had a total of only 1506 cards of HuoZhong Source Power remaining. This was his reserve, specifically set aside for his next stage of strength improvement, waiting to begin new enhancements after fully digesting the previous ones.

It would take another two days to fully digest, which was also the deadline agreed upon with Nicolas Flamel.

With two days left, Li Mu dispatched all his Phoenix Apostles, each accompanied by nine wizard soldiers. They began casting the Imperius Curse on high-ranking officials worldwide, covertly seizing control of each nation's nuclear arsenal.

With the leaders and nuclear weapons under his control, the nuclear war Nicolas Flamel anticipated could not break out.

In the final two days, Li Mu practiced his control over Magic Power day and night using the Polymorph Spell.

One morning, Li Mu stopped casting the Polymorph Spell.

The Polymorph Spell, originally at LV7, had now advanced to LV8.

Communicating with his Origin HuoZhong, Li Mu infused 152 units of HuoZhong Source Power into it to raise his Transcendence Level.

He then spent 200 units of HuoZhong Source Power to strengthen the Elder Wand to LV3.

[Elder Wand: Spark Artifact]

[Level: LV3]

[Quality: Purple Heaven Grade]

[Damage: 40]

[Attributes: Magic Power Cap increased threefold, Spell Level increased by LV3, Spell Casting Difficulty reduced threefold, Spell Casting Cost reduced threefold]

[Strengthening Requirement: 300 units of HuoZhong Source Power]

The fixed damage increased by five points, and all attributes had risen from the initial onefold to threefold.

His commonly used spells were now basically LV7. With the Elder Wand, they could directly be amplified to LV10. The Polymorph Spell, Illusionary Body Curse, and Apparition, which had already advanced to LV8, were further boosted by the Elder Wand, surpassing the world's ceiling to reach LV11.

This was not the end. Li Mu consumed one thousand units of HuoZhong Source Power to further enhance his Wizard Bloodline.

The moment his Wizard Bloodline advanced, black flames erupted from the Professional HuoZhong of Mind Wizard, spewing out from all his pores. His body was tempered by the flames, significantly strengthening his Physique, while his Magic Resistance and recovery capabilities also greatly improved.

Li Mu held the Elder Wand in his right hand and aimed it at his left hand, casting the Searing Blade spell.

The invisible blade formed by condensed Magic Power, under his precise control, continuously increased in power from its initial LV1. It wasn't until LV3 that it failed to inflict any damage on his left hand. Only the Searing Blade at LV4 managed to cut open a gash.

Furthermore, the wound that had just been cut disappeared within seconds, provided he expended Magic Power.

Li Mu then cast the Fierce Fire Curse. This time, even the Fierce Fire Curse at LV10 was completely immune to the damage. It wasn't until he switched to the Fiendfyre Curse that his left hand was burned by the Fiendfyre Curse at LV4. This meant he was now basically immune to ordinary flames.

He could even absorb flames and convert them into Magic Power when enveloped by them.

These were merely the basic changes from the LV10 Wizard Bloodline. The biggest change was that he could now transform into a phoenix.

He didn't need to cultivate; he was already an Animagus, the only Animagus in the Wizarding World capable of transforming into a Magical Creature. With just a thought, black flames appeared all over his body, and he transformed from a Human into a Black Phoenix.

Without any need for adaptation, Li Mu instinctively spread his wings and took flight.

Although he had transformed into a phoenix, the power he possessed far surpassed that of Phoenix Fawkes.

In this state, his Apparition's base level increased to LV9, and the control and power of almost all Flame Spells saw significant improvements. His immunity and absorption of flames also advanced further.

Li Mu savored the joy of being a phoenix. Just as he was about to revert, he felt a premonition.

Opening his status panel, he saw a LV2 indicator appear next to the Nirvana talent of his Second Origin HuoZhong.

His Nirvana talent had actually leveled up while he was in phoenix form?

A talent would undergo a qualitative change after three level-ups. He had originally planned to wait until Transcendence Level LV4 to accumulate three Free Attribute Points to enhance a talent. But now, with his Nirvana talent automatically leveling up by one while in phoenix form, his existing two Free Attribute Points were sufficient to raise Nirvana to LV4.

Nirvana was a life-saving talent. Li Mu unhesitatingly consumed two Free Attribute Points to upgrade it to LV4.

[Second Origin HuoZhong: Heaven Grade]

[Seed Talent: Nirvana LV4—Consumes Spark Energy to revive within the Phoenix after death. Consumes HuoZhong Source Power to burn one's remains and revive on the spot. On-the-spot revival grants a 50% power boost for a short duration.]

"On-the-spot revival!"

Li Mu gasped.

He realized that Nirvana at LV1 only allowed revival within the Phoenix, essentially establishing a respawn point.

But Nirvana upgraded to LV4 not only allowed full revival on the spot but also a 50% power boost. This was a powerful means to turn the tide in life-or-death situations. Moreover, as long as he had enough HuoZhong Source Power, couldn't he theoretically revive infinitely?

Through his Origin HuoZhong, Li Mu quickly discovered his thoughts were too optimistic.

He could indeed revive infinitely on the spot, but the cost of each revival was double the previous one.

After just a few revivals, the cost would become astronomical.

Furthermore, no matter how many times he revived on the spot, the 50% power boost did not stack with repeated revivals.

Even so, this was undoubtedly a talent that people would dream of.
