Chapter 694: Controlling the Universe

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

There is no end to the road of cultivation. Twenty years passed in a flash!

Under the leadership of the Corpse Wizard King, the Magical Beast Divine Branch had planted its roots firmly within the Giant Dragon Domain, secretly hiding within the dilapidated corner that was the Giant Dragon Valley as they rapidly developed. Pope Goode was extremely experienced and spread the Wizard Deity Sect to every corner of the Giant Dragon Valley. Twenty years later, almost everyone had joined the Wizard Deity Sect; the number of followers was now more than a few hundred times that of the past.

The absence of natural disasters and warfare, coupled with a unified system and common faith, allowed the Giant Dragon Valley to develop at an unprecedented rate. The scale of their economy was getting larger and larger, and their population was also increasing. The lives of the people were getting better, causing the devotees to become even more sincere; the Faith power in the air expanded exponentially, motivating the Corpse Wizard King, Goode, and the rest of the group to put in even more effort in managing the place, forming a virtuous cycle.

The twenty years after the Giant Dragon Valley was unified as one were hailed as the golden era of the Giant Dragon Valley by the devotees, the time when the development they experienced was the most rapid!

The Giant Dragon Valley had changed drastically over the past twenty years, and the Corpse Wizard King and the rest of the group were no exception. Magical Beasts such as the Unicorn and Three-eyed Crow had assimilated the divinities they consumed and successfully advanced to the divine level. Sofia and Yuna also managed to advance in level without trouble under the protection of the Magical Beast Army. After absorbing a large amount of Wish Power, the Dark Dragon King had learned the high-level Law of Power, while the Burning Fire Elf King had managed to fuse with a portion of the Natural Spirit Fire… The Blood Angel Ophelia had also advanced to become a Great Twelve-winged Angel, with the carving of four angels appearing on her ring.

Unlike the Corpse Wizard King and the rest of the group, who had a rapid advancement in their abilities, Yang Lin had sat motionless in training on the Great Wizard Altar for the past twenty years, the Great Wizard Seal formed by his fingers never changing, much less his body. The radius enveloped by his Crystal Mist did not show any obvious changes. It was as if he had not made any progress. Other than the Wandering Divine Beast Golden Roc, no one noticed the changes in the obscure ripples of energy in the air.

The energy was faint, without any regularity. It was as unfathomable as a single leaf floating within an endless abyss; the energy was fleeting. It felt as though it had come from the faraway horizon, but it also felt as though it was all around him if he sensed it closely…

This fleeting, mysterious feeling made the Golden Roc think about the Chief Elder he had seen when he was little. It had been equally unfathomable, equally deep beyond comprehension. He could not help but feel awed by Yang Ling’s speed of cultivation. Even though he was incredibly confident in his own abilities, he knew that if Yang Ling trained at this rate, there would come a day when Yang Ling would surpass him.

The Corpse Wizard King, Ophelia, and the rest of the group could put pressure on the Wandering Divine Beast Golden Roc if they joined forces, using their increased knowledge in the Demon God Battle Formation. However, they paled drastically in comparison when it came to individual abilities and their understanding of the laws of nature. They could not sense the wonders of the energy ripples within Yang Ling’s body.

…

Whoosh…

As a harsh cold gale blew past, Yang Ling slowly opened his eyes. Faint snake-shaped arcs of lightning flashed past his distinct gaze from time to time. He was one step closer to the peak of Soul Wizard after this period of training. Not only did he further understand the complex Wizard Techniques, but he’d also gained a heightened understanding of the Laws of Ice, Power, and Lightning. The ripples of energy in his body had become even more obscure!

Ice sculpture?

Yang Ling had a thought as he saw a giant rock covered in snow not far away, and he whipped out the Battle Soul Blade behind his back. His figure shook, instantly traversing through time and space as he teleported over. He was silent, eerily appearing in the sky above the giant rock. He cast the Space Bind and silently recited a mantra, then fiercely slid his blade downward.

Creak…

A three-inch-thick blade aura sliced through the sky, cleanly cleaving the giant snow-covered rock into two. Even more alarmingly, all of the accumulated snow on the hill instantly vanished without a trace, mysteriously disappearing in the blink of an eye!

Breaking ice!

After training for twenty years, Yang Ling had gained a further understanding of the Space Bind Wizard Technique and the Law of Ice, finally gaining preliminary knowledge about a stroke that could dispel the Law of Ice. The Law of Ice had been dispelled and neutralized by the lethal impact of the Battle Soul Blade within the radius of the Space Bind. Another explanation was that there had been a unique transformation to the Law of Ice.

Controlling the universe!

Seeing that there was no longer any snow accumulated on the peak of the mountain, Yang Ling was elated, extending his hand to flick the sharp edge of the Battle Soul Blade, looking up to the sky as he shouted. As a Great Soul Wizard, the ultimate goal of his training was not to surpass the Wandering Divine Beast Golden Roc, nor was it to become a Core Deity, but to achieve the state of being able to control the universe, as the stele had recorded!

Battling with the universe and dispelling all of its laws, as well as firmly grasping the fates of himself and his loved ones in his hands: that is the true dream of a Great Soul Wizard!

A true great Wizard will never allow the fates of himself or his loved ones to fall into the hands of another person!

“Brother Yang, Brother Yang…”

“Lord…”

…

After hearing Yang Ling’s long howl, Sofia and Yuna became incredibly excited, charging over without concern. The Corpse Wizard King, Ophelia, and the rest of the group followed closely behind them. The Poison Wizard Alice, who was just about to head out to travel and train, was no exception, riding on the Unicorn and charging over like the wind. Seeing the familiar figure in the sky full of snowflakes, the large beautiful eyes under her long lashes filled with tears, her nose suddenly turning red.

“It’s hard for us to be reunited, but why are all of you crying?” After hugging Yuna and Sofia tightly, Yang Ling kissed Alice’s forehead gently and wiped her tears away. After softly consoling three of his closest companions, he decided in his heart that he would try his best to spend time with them in the future.

Training was important, but Yang Ling had never once thought that training was all there was to life!

“Lord, the Divine Weapon, where is the Divine Weapon you promised?” The Purple Rat Little Ice, who had advanced and taken the form of a small boy, ran around Yang Ling mischievously, unable to forget the Divine Weapon Yang Ling had promised him. He had waited for a full twenty years, till the flowers had almost withered. He had spent his time counting the days on his little fingers.

“Lord, I want one too, I want a Magical Divine Ring!” The Thousand-faced Mink looked like a tender doll, speaking as she hugged Yang Ling’s right thigh. After witnessing the benefits and power of the Magical Divine Ring on the Corpse Wizard King’s finger, she had been longing for one, even seeing a beautiful, sparkly Magical Divine Ring in her dreams.

“This…” Looking at the perfect pair that was the stubborn Purple Rat Little Ice and Thousand-faced Mink, Yang Ling shook his head and smiled. A Divine Weapon was not like a Magical Beast Blood Orb; where was he going to find a Divine Weapon suitable for them in such a short period of time? However, after gaining a further understanding of the various restrictions, he could try to create a batch of Magical Divine Rings using crystals as a material. Creating Magical Divine Rings by dispelling the Dragon Head Ring of another person meant that there would always be a limited number of them. That was not feasible in the long run.

The power of the Magical Divine Ring was obvious. If every Divine-level Magical Beast in the Magical Beast Army were equipped with a Magical Divine Ring, allowing them to have a massive improvement in ability and learn the Demon God Battle Formation, their offensive capabilities would reach an unimaginable level!

“Little Ice, come, let me see how far you have reached in your cultivation of the Law of Ice!” Yang Ling spoke as he flew to a plot of empty land. Even though the abilities of the Purple Rat Little Ice were not as strong as the Corpse Wizard King, Ophelia, or the rest of the group, he was the only one cultivating the Law of Ice. Yang Ling could test out the power of the Battle Soul Blade’s Ice Dispelling Stroke on him.

“Lord, let’s agree on this: you have to give me a Divine Weapon if you get hit by my ice arrows or chilly air!” the Purple Rat Little Ice reacted quickly, instantly talking terms with Yang Ling, unable to forget about the Divine weapon. After having advanced to the level of Mid-level Deity, his understanding of the Law of Ice was now much deeper than before. Even though Yang Ling was extremely powerful, he believed that although he might not be able to pose a lethal threat to Yang Ling, if he went all out, he could at least hit the corner of his sleeves.

Whoosh…

With the vision of his Divine Weapon, the Purple Rat Little Ice excitedly sprang out in attack, waving his hand and conjuring a sky full of ice arrows, pushing them quickly toward Yang Ling. In that instant, the temperature around the area decreased drastically as the ice arrows brought about a bone-piercing chilly energy!

“Great, not bad, but unfortunately, too slow!” Yang Ling smiled, his figure shaking eerily as he easily dodged Little Ice’s ice arrows. Then, he took out the lethal Battle Soul Blade from behind his back and followed through on his momentum, slicing thin air. In that instant, an obscure ripple of energy spread outward, followed by a thin layer of Crystal Mist, enveloping the entire radius of a few hundred steps.

“Huh, that’s impossible, that…” Little Ice shouted in shock, looking at Yang Ling holding the Battle Soul Blade in disbelief.

Originally, he had wanted to spew a mouthful of bone-piercing chilly energy to attract Yang Ling’s attention before suddenly charging forward to launch a surprise, close-range attack. Unexpectedly, the talents imbued within him since birth had been forcefully severed while he was casting the technique. He could not spew any chilly energy, no matter what he tried. It was as if the Law of Ice had instantly lost its effectiveness.

“Lord, you… Have you advanced to the level of Core Deity?” After testing it out multiple times, Little Ice had no choice but to give up. He rubbed his eyes in disbelief after sensing the ripples of energy in the air. Even though he knew that Yang Ling’s abilities were great beyond comprehension, he did not expect Yang Ling to be powerful to such an extent!

“Hehe, if I truly had advanced to become a Core Deity, I would not just be able to prevent you from spewing chilly air. I could even make you swallow the chilly air after you spew it out!” Yang Ling smiled. His expression did not change, but he felt extremely excited.

Being able to successfully neutralize the Purple Rat Little Ice, who specialized in the Law of Ice, meant that the blade technique and Wizard Technique he had learned were effective. Today, he was able to neutralize a mere Mid-level Deity like Little Ice. If he persisted with his training, there might come a day when he could neutralize Divine Duty Experts at the peak of their abilities, or even high and mighty, unparalleled fighters like Core Deities and Dimensional Wanderers!

However, even though he was extremely excited, Yang Ling was not conceited. He was not proud enough to think that he could neutralize the unparalleled fighters from the various major dimensions. Strength was always relative. He did not know if he would truly win if he came across an unparalleled fighter who specialized in cultivating the Law of Ice. Being able to neutralize the Purple Rat Little Ice just helped him ascertain his status and point him in the direction he should be training!

“Lord, you… You can dispel the laws of this universe?” The Golden Roc trembled after sensing the ripples of energy in the air closely, looking at Yang Ling in disbelief just like the Purple Rat Little Ice was doing.

Even though he was immensely powerful and able to disregard ordinary Core Deities when he was at his peak, he could never have imagined being able to dispel or transform the laws present in this universe. He had never had this thought. Other than the legendary almighty Creator, he could not think of anyone who could have such terrifying abilities!
