Freya, Athena, Laura, and Rin discuss Aditya's rapid cultivation progress and his many accomplishments. They marvel at his Dragon Monarch title and the existence of Dragonians, a new race born from his dragon blood. Freya considers the implications of his power, particularly his ability to create Dragonians and potentially imbue his troops with dragonic traits.

Despite numerous attempts, Aditya discovered his inability to teleport a moving object remained unchanged. Each try yielded the same outcome, and by the twenty-ninth attempt, frustration began to simmer within him. He halted his efforts, choosing to ponder his errors rather than continue blindly.

"Let's return to the fundamentals." While he could currently teleport himself to any location within his sight, applying this to a moving target proved futile. Thus, he opted to simplify the objective. Instead of targeting something in motion, his initial attempt would be to teleport a stationary object.

Aditya directed his focus toward a verdant leaf resting on the ground, merely a few meters away.

"The initial phase of teleportation involves perceiving the space around me," Aditya murmured, shutting his eyes. He entered a profound state of concentration, purging his mind of all extraneous thoughts. His sole visualization was the solitary green leaf positioned before him. After a few moments, the leaf exhibited a slight tremor. Concurrently, he detected a subtle distortion in the surrounding space, as though an unseen force was beginning to exert a pull on it.

His heart leaped with excitement, thinking, 'It's functioning.'

But then, all movement ceased.

The leaf settled back onto the ground, and the spatial distortion surrounding it vanished as if it had never materialized.

Observing this, Aditya experienced a flicker of disappointment, yet he resolved not to yield.

He could clearly discern that his rapid training was already yielding positive outcomes.

He understood from his extensive reading that mastering spatial elements was exceptionally arduous, arguably the most challenging discipline.

This difficulty explained the scarcity of cultivators possessing skills related to space manipulation. Apart from a select few renowned historical figures, he had encountered no one capable of directly manipulating space for teleportation.

"It's progressing." Witnessing the subtle shifts, Aditya felt a surge of optimism. For a fleeting instant, it seemed he had finally grasped a crucial concept. However, in the very next second, everything reverted. The leaf dropped to the ground, and the spatial anomaly around it dissipated as if no event had occurred.

Aditya's spirits sank slightly upon this setback. Nevertheless, he refused to let it dampen his resolve for long. Instead of succumbing to frustration anew, he analyzed the recent occurrence. The fact that he had managed to influence the leaf's movement, however minimally, signified he was on the correct path. His training was already bearing fruit, even if the results were incremental.

From his comprehensive studies, he was well aware that the space element ranked among the most difficult, if not the most challenging, to master. A minuscule fraction of cultivators could even begin to comprehend its intricacies, let alone command it. Beyond a handful of historically prominent individuals, he personally knew no one who could directly manipulate space to achieve teleportation. This inherent difficulty made his chosen path exceptionally demanding.

Even Aditya acknowledged his profound fortune in already possessing the innate ability to manipulate space and teleport to any point within his visual range. This alone was an accomplishment beyond the reach of most cultivators throughout their lives. However, he now recognized that this level of proficiency was insufficient. To enhance his prospects against cultivators of the Seventh Order, his spatial abilities required substantial improvement, far exceeding their current capabilities.

Currently, his most significant vulnerability was quite evident. His teleportation was confined to areas within his line of sight, a limitation that substantially hampered his speed during actual combat. His ultimate aspiration was to completely eliminate this visual dependency. He desired to rely on his innate senses rather than his sight. His objective was to cultivate his spatial awareness to such an elevated degree that he could accurately teleport to a specific destination even with his eyes closed. Simultaneously, he aimed to refine his instincts to the point where he could distinctly perceive incoming threats and respond effectively without visual confirmation.

Furthermore, he harbored another ambition. While currently capable of teleporting only himself, he yearned to transcend this limitation. He sought the capacity to teleport other individuals and objects independently, without any physical contact. Attaining this level of control would fundamentally alter his combat methodology. It would grant him a significant tactical advantage, enabling him to surprise adversaries in unforeseen ways. Achieving this feat would undoubtedly prove to be a true game-changer when confronting formidable opponents.

While honing his abilities, a novel concept suddenly struck Aditya. Against adversaries of higher calibers, particularly those in the upper Orders, his Crimson Flame and Crimson Lightning techniques were progressively diminishing in efficacy. What once provided a distinct advantage was now struggling to maintain its potency. He could no longer depend solely on sheer destructive output, a realization that compelled him to adopt a different strategic mindset.

Aditiya's Crimson Flame could only exhibit true impact by channeling a significant amount of power into a single point. This method allowed him to conjure a compressed attack resembling a small sphere, akin to a bullet or even an eyeball in size. The fundamental concept was straightforward: rather than increasing the flame's size and destructive area by feeding it more mana, he compressed the flame while continuously infusing it with additional mana. This process rendered the attack far more potent and dense.

Instead of dissipating and causing widespread destruction, the energy became intensely focused and concentrated. This greatly enhanced its penetrating capability. However, even with this refined approach, Aditiya perceived it as insufficient. When confronting cultivators at the seventh order, the disparity remained too vast; his current compression level could not fully bridge that significant gap.

To overcome this limitation, Aditiya conceived the idea of employing gravity to further condense his Crimson Flame. He aimed to shrink it beyond the size of a bullet or eyeball, down to something as minute as a needle. If he could achieve such an extreme level of compression while infusing it with a thousand or more units of mana, the attack would transcend wide destruction. Its power would become terrifyingly concentrated, transforming into a fearsome piercing strike rather than an expansive explosion.

By focusing gravity onto a single point, he could not only compress the Crimson Flame further but also amplify the force behind its launch. Conceptually, the idea sounded simple, almost readily achievable. Yet, in practical application, attaining this level of control proved significantly more intricate than initially presumed. The paramount requirement was unwavering focus on his gravity manipulation; even the slightest deviation could destabilize the entire undertaking.

Secondly, he needed to sustain a perfectly consistent gravitational pull while relentlessly infusing mana into the Crimson Flame. The equilibrium had to be exact at every single moment. Should the gravitational force waver, even momentarily, becoming weaker or stronger at an inopportune time, the compressed flame could lose its stability. In such an event, instead of forming a controlled assault, it might detonate prematurely, right before him. This made the entire procedure exceptionally perilous. To successfully execute this technique, Aditiya required both impeccable precision and absolute control.

Lastly, once the attack was fully manifested, its deployment presented its own set of formidable challenges. He had to maintain the gravitational compression encircling the Crimson Bullet even after its creation, ensuring it retained its form until impact. Losing control at this critical juncture could cause the attack to collapse or detonate prematurely. Concurrently, he needed to unleash a significantly stronger surge of gravity to propel it forward with devastating velocity. Only through the flawless integration of these intricate steps could he transform this ambitious concept into a viable and lethal technique.

Furthermore, another critical issue loomed, one he could not afford to overlook. The more mana Aditiya channeled into the Crimson Flame, the greater its inherent energy naturally became. Under conventional circumstances, this would invariably lead to the flame growing larger and its destructive capacity expanding. This represented the fundamental principle at play. However, Aditiya's objective directly contravened this principle. Instead of permitting proliferation, he was rigorously compressing it into a compact, dense Crimson Bullet.

Consequently, each additional unit of mana introduced made the process more arduous. The greater the power he infused, the more volatile and unstable the flame grew. It actively resisted the compression, as if yearning to break free and revert to its natural, expansive state. Maintaining command over such a recalcitrant force demanded extraordinary focus and razor-sharp precision.

Should he falter even minutely, there existed a substantial probability that the entire attack could detonate before he even had the opportunity to launch it. It was an inherently risky endeavor, a fact he was acutely aware of. Yet, simultaneously, he could clearly perceive its immense potential. Should he succeed, the outcome would be a hyper-concentrated strike possessing terrifying piercing power. Even a cultivator at the early or mid-seventh order would likely struggle immensely to defend against such a formidable onslaught.
