Cursed Immortality

Within the eye of a golden fire tornado, which was twenty-five miles in diameter and could be seen from a vast distance, a green fire 250 feet high was being slowly compressed into a humanoid shape until it reached the 50-feet mark. 

At this moment, the golden fire was getting sucked into that fiery green humanoid figure, making him brighter and brighter while the green flames were now starting to turn sublime.

Within these sublime green flames, an infinity symbol with a crimson orb like a tiny sun was present, and all of a sudden, it started to pulse in a red glow. 

The next moment, the red pulse contained a tint of green and blue. Like a starry sky, the moment those green and blue tints appeared, ethereal starry nerve channels suddenly materialized within the humanoid sublime fire!

These were the magic orbits of Jacob, and those magic orbits were now part crimson and part blue while his cursed heart was connected to all of them while a black hole was present on his solar plexus. 

Right now, he had two brightly glowing stars. One was crimson and placed in his heart. The other was blue and located below his belly button. But all of a sudden, the crimson and blue magic orbits started to turn green, except for those two magic cores. 

A vortex started forming on the spot right below his neck. It was the sign of a new magic core formation!

As the vortex was sucking all the surrounding fire, a bright green star started to take shape, and the magic orbits connected to it. 

When the green star fully formed, tiny white stars, the rectified star, started to appear one after another. When there were nine rectified stars, the green star suddenly grew to the same size as the red and blue stars. 

At this moment, the white star's number started to increase even further. Similarly, another change started to happen at this moment within the ocean blue magic core when the 11th reified star appeared as the green star; the same started to happen with the blue star!

The rectified stars in green and blue continued to increase until they were 99, which was the limit of epic star magic core!

But it didn't stop, as the green and blue started to grow even further. They started to turn into ethereal round crystals before the rectified stars began to shine brightly like suns, and the 100th rectified star started to appear. The magic cores no longer look like a cluster of lights but a unique starry sky captured in a round crystal. This was the sign of a Unique Star Magic Core!

The process completely stopped once the 100th star was successfully formed with two magic cores, which meant it was now a Tier-1 Unique Magic Core with a capacity of 999 rectified stars. 

Generally, the formation of unique aura or spirit glyphs should begin now. The magic core should start to connect with the mystic signature and begin its activation, which was within the black hole in the solar plexus. 

But it was only the case when someone had only a single magic core. Jacob has three magic cores, two unique ranks, and one epic rank. 

Furthermore, the cores made with the art of nature weren't showing signs of being either combat or sorcery-type magic cores like his Hex Magic Core, which was clearly a sorcery type. Neither did they show any sign of being connected with the solar plexus. 

Furthermore, when a Unique Magic Core is formed, one could etch corresponding rank Magic Spells or abilities on their magic cores with each successful new tier. Which then allows them to use those magic spells with a simple thought.

It was only possible when 100 rectified stars connected with the aura or spirit glyphs with either increased tier. But there was no glyph right now, so this would also rob Jacob of the ability to etch anything on his magic core. 

Still, he now had 209 rectified stars, which means he could form many abilities with them, so it was not a bad deal either. 

At this moment, the fifty-meter green humanoid figure started to compress with the green magic core, and magically, bones started to appear with the magic orbits, forming a skeleton, and then organs, blood, mass, muscles, skin, and finally bright silver hair began to grow. 

A celestial-like naked giant body was formed as the devilish face of this man was tranquil, and his eyes closed as if he were in deep slumber.

At this moment, the 121st hour of the fire meditation began. Jacob's eyelid sprang open, and the 1920-G force around him burst like a bubble. 

Thereby, the golden firestorm around him blasted into all directions, creating a massive sandstorm, and all the fire within a 30-mile radius stopped because of this powerful shock wave. 

In fact, the once two-meter-tall flames were now only a few centimeters tall, and it was the case for a massive area, not just the area being affected by fire meditation. Jacob had absorbed a vast sea of flames; if he hadn't been in this place, he might've never been able to complete it. 

It took Jacob a few moments to understand as he stood naked in the giant crater he had just created. He was no longer feeling the heat and was comfortable despite the temperature around him being over 3000 degrees Celsius right now!

The next moment, he closed his eyes to check the magic core conditions, and when he opened them again, they were shining brightly with ecstasy. He opened his palm, and the next moment, green flames appeared on it, and he tried to conjure water from his other hand. It instantly appeared!

With fire in one hand and water in the other, his lips rose in excitement, "Not only my two magic cores are now unique rank, but I can control them simultaneously at will. But why can't I sense any spirit or aura glyphs, nor can I tell if I had awakened by mystic signature? It should be possible now, but I still can't. What is going on?" 

Jacob frowned a little when he thought about this strange problem. According to the books he had read, he should have been able to feel his unique glyph once he connected with his unique magic core, but he couldn't. 

In his mind, he should have two magic glyphs because he now had magic cores, and that clearly wasn't his limit. Once the hex magic core becomes unique, he should get another one. 

But not to mention three, he didn't even get one, which made him baffled, and he wondered if those books left behind by the Witch Queen were just a sham. 

In the end, Jacob stops paying attention and decides to confront Immortika about it after seeing what would happen once the hex magic core reaches the unique rank. 

Right now, he wanted to use those extra rectified stars as quickly as possible, cultivate his fire magic core with Aura of Fire Knight Universal Scripture, and gain the same control over his fire as he had over water!

However, while he happily increased his strength, he had no idea that he had made the burning desert too easy for others to travel in because he had absorbed over 60% of the golden flames and unknowingly killed 98% of the golden scorpions' population!
