Aditya reviewed his enhanced innate skills: Absolute Thunder Dominion, Weapon Grandmaster, and Runic Soulforge. He noted their improved capabilities, particularly Runic Soulforge's advanced rune crafting and spatial engraving. He considered applying these new enchantments to his allies' equipment, but the looming civil war and his need to return to the Istarin Empire limited his immediate options.

『Dragon Transformation』

『5th-order Innate Skill』

『Description: - A unique skill exclusively held by the Dragon Monarch. Upon achieving the 5th-order, the host's mastery over their Dragon bloodline has significantly advanced. The transformation process is now more stable, considerably more potent, and vastly more refined.

The host can now fluidly transition between human and dragon forms, or alter specific body parts with enhanced proficiency. The Divine Crimson Storm Dragon bloodline further amplifies the transformation, ensuring each form surpasses previous iterations in strength.』

『Function 1: - When over 50% of the host’s physique assumes a dragon form, all base stats, excluding Mana, are amplified by [2.5 times].

Upon complete dragon transformation, all base stats, excluding Mana, receive a [3 times] increase, coupled with a substantial augmentation in physical resilience and offensive might.』

『Function 2: - With 50% of the host’s body transmuted into a dragon's, the Mana recovery rate is boosted by [100%], facilitating quicker regeneration during combat.

In the fully transformed state, the Mana recovery effect becomes even more robust, enabling the host to sustain high-tier skills for extended periods.』

『Function 3: - Should the host initiate a dragon transformation or convert more than 50% of their body into draconic form amidst a storm, an additional [800+] Agility is temporarily bestowed upon the host.

Furthermore, the host’s command over elemental lightning and wind is heightened in this condition, leading to swifter movements and more formidable attacks.』

If Aditya were to comment on this skill, it would be his profound appreciation for the stat enhancements it provided.

He had secured victory in numerous encounters by leveraging the advantages granted by this ability to surpass his adversaries.

"Now, let's examine the Passive skills." Presently, Aditya possessed fifteen passive skills, a remarkably large number that even he found difficult to comprehend anyone else matching.

Typically, cultivators faced limitations not only from their innate talent but also from the considerable time and dedication necessary to fully develop each skill. Even possessing a handful of well-honed passive abilities was considered exceptional, yet Aditya boasted far more.

The disparity between him and others was starkly evident. While Aditya's skills naturally progressed with each new Order he attained, other cultivators had to fortify their skills through relentless practice and profound comprehension.

They were compelled to experiment, perfect, and push their boundaries repeatedly merely to enhance their skills. This constituted a gradual and arduous journey. Consequently, it was not uncommon to encounter cultivators who had reached the Peak 5th-order yet still retained several skills at the 2nd, 3rd, or 4th Order. Skills lagging one Order behind their cultivation might still prove useful in specific scenarios, but any skill two Orders below became nearly useless in actual combat.

This explains why most cultivation sects cautioned their disciples from the outset. Rather than endeavoring to learn an excessive number of skills, they were advised to select a select few abilities and dedicate themselves to mastering them.

Post-3rd Order, the mere repetition of a skill or its repeated application was no longer sufficient for advancement. At this juncture, growth necessitated deeper understanding, superior control, practical combat experience, and occasionally, novel insights or breakthroughs.

Aditya, however, encountered no such impediments. With the system's backing, his trajectory diverged entirely from that of a conventional cultivator.

This was also the reason individuals began to hail Aditya as a once-in-a-hundred-thousand-years prodigy, with some proclaiming him the most gifted cultivator to emerge in a millennium. Such accolades were not bestowed lightly. They stemmed from observations made with people's own eyes. Despite holding the title of Emperor and bearing the immense responsibility of an entire empire, he still managed to wield an overwhelming array of abilities while consistently advancing his cultivation.

To outsiders, this defied logic. Ordinarily, an individual in his position would lack the temporal resources or focus required for such accelerated growth. Yet, Aditya persevered as if the conventional limitations did not apply to him. The sole explanation the populace could devise was his talent. It was so astonishing and so far removed from standard benchmarks that comparing him to others seemed utterly pointless.

While numerous cultivators dedicated months, or even years, to refining a single skill or attempting to break through a stage, Aditya had accomplished his ascent to the Mid 5th-order in a mere two and a half years. Such rapidity was unprecedented. It wasn't merely swift; it bordered on the abnormal to the extent of feeling illusory.

『Starlight Recovery』

『5th-order Passive Skill』

『Description: - With the acquisition of the Void Walker class, a unique passive skill manifested. Upon reaching the 5th-order, the connection binding the host to the cosmos intensified. The host is now empowered to draw forth more refined and concentrated starlight energy, resulting in accelerated, more stable, and significantly enhanced healing, even amidst the fiercest combat.

Under the expanse of the night sky, when celestial bodies are clearly discernible, the potency of this skill experiences a notable surge, as the host's cosmic connection grows ever stronger.』

『Ability 1』: - The Starlight Recovery functions by harnessing the luminescence of distant stars to perpetually mend the host’s injuries. Each passing second, this passive skill replenishes [1.2+] Health points for the host.

『Ability 2』: - The host possesses the capability to expedite the healing process by expending Stamina Points. For every [1+] Stamina point utilized, [2+] Health points are restored, establishing a more efficient conversion rate than previously available.

『Ability 3』: - With the expenditure of [1000+] Mana points, the host can instantly recuperate [400+] of either his Health or Stamina. Each activation of this particular ability necessitates a subsequent cooldown period of 10 hours.

『Ability 4』: - Night Boost: - When the host is situated beneath an open, star-studded sky, all recuperative effects derived from this skill are augmented by [50%]. This amplification encompasses passive regeneration, stamina-based conversion, and instantaneous restoration.

’This skill demands a substantial mana pool.’ This skill is passive, but fortunately, my mana reserves are more than sufficient to sustain its considerable expenditure without issue.’

The advantages conferred by this skill were self-evident. It represented a class of abilities capable of instantly restoring over 400 stamina or Health points, effectively akin to snatching victory from the jaws of defeat.

『Cosmic Rift Surge』

『5th-order Passive Skill』

『Description: - A distinctive passive skill forged from the synergistic fusion of Dimensional Rift and Stellar Surge, influenced by the Void Walker class and the Divine Crimson Storm Dragon bloodline. This skill embodies the host's innate capacity to interface with the infinite cosmos whilst simultaneously cleaving through the fabric of space itself.

The host can now manifest stable rifts within the spatial continuum, channeling the universe's destructive energies through these ephemeral tear. This ability is fraught with peril, posing a significant threat not only to adversaries but also to the host. Only individuals possessing a formidable bloodline and a robust physical constitution can withstand the formidable repercussions of wielding such immense power.』

『Ability 1』: - The host is empowered to breach a dimensional rift to any location, whether previously known or merely sensed. Such breaches no longer result in random spatial displacements. The act of opening a rift consumes no Mana but imposes a considerable mental burden upon the host.

This particular ability can be invoked only once every 7 days.

『Ability 2』: - The host can channel the raw, untamed power of the Cosmos through the dimensional rift, unleashing it as a cataclysmic energy assault. The sheer destructive force of this attack possesses the potential to obliterate vast territories and inflict grievous harm upon even cultivators of higher orders.

Upon its utilization, this ability enters a mandatory cooldown phase lasting 20 days.

『Ability 3』: - Following the execution of the Cosmic Surge, the host shall endure a temporary deprivation of all sensoryinput for a duration of 12 hours. This encompasses the loss of sight, hearing, and spatial perception. Subsequently, an additional 6 hours are required for complete restoration of all faculties.

(Note: - The energetic strain imposed by cosmic forces is extraordinarily severe. Even with the advantage of a Divine Dragon bloodline and the Void Walker class, repeated applications risk inflicting profound damage upon the host’s physical form and spiritual essence.)

’This particular skill possesses considerable merit.’

However, the temporary incapacitation of all senses for a full twelve hours, including vision, hearing, and even spatial awareness, fundamentally undermined the skill's practical utility in most scenarios. It was not merely an inconvenience; it presented a significant danger. This constituted the primary reason why Aditya had recourse to this ability only once, and that too was within the confines of the Steel Dwarf Trial, a setting where he perceived himself to be relatively secure.

In that particular context, even a complete loss of consciousness or absolute vulnerability posed no immediate existential threat. No entity would dare assail him in such a compromised state. Yet, on an actual battlefield, circumstances unfold with vastly different dynamics.

Wielding a skill of this nature carried an inherent, substantial risk. Aditya harbored no particular objection to forfeiting his senses for twelve hours if the prevailing circumstances necessitated it. The true crux of the issue lay in the potential repercussions that could transpire during that vulnerable twelve-hour window. Should even a solitary adversary survive the initial onslaught or remain beyond the attack's destructive radius, subsequently approaching him while he remained utterly defenseless, the outcome would be catastrophic.

In the absence of a sufficiently formidable protector during that critical period, he would be denied even the slightest opportunity to retaliate. A single, well-placed strike would suffice to bring about the finality of everything. At that juncture, he might as well bid farewell to this existence and anticipate another transmigration, should fortune favor him.
