“An Ancient Wizard!”
A black-robed man wielding two blades trembled when he saw Argos laying in a pool of blood under the cold, merciless gaze of the black-haired Grand Wizard Houtu. The black-robed man had been unable to save Argos in time. He shouted in shock. Even though he had not participated in the great battle in the Graveyard of Deities and Demons , he knew what an Ancient Wizard looked like!
Whoosh…
Once he recovered from his shock, the black-robed man wielding two blades turned and ran without saying a word. Even though he had already reached the level of a Dimensional Wanderer tens of thousands of years ago, and he had insurmountable abilities in the eyes of an average soldier, he knew exactly where his abilities stood. Even the so-called God of Spears Argos, who could kill with one stroke of his spear and was the most powerful in their group, had not been able to fend off a single attack. The rest of them would not be able to do anything, no matter how many of them there were!
One hit, certain death!
The man shivered, even though it was not cold, as he thought about the unfeeling, merciless gaze of the Grand Wizard Houtu. His heart raced in his agitation!
“Rich vitality and fresh blood; you cannot escape!”
The Grand Wizard Houtu formed a mysterious Wizard Seal that even Yang Ling had not seen before and absorbed Argos’s Blood Essence, soul, and divinity without touching him. His figure then trembled and vanished into the ground. Argos, who had lost all of his vital energy, rapidly shriveled like a punctured balloon and instantly became a withered corpse covered in cracks. His body turned to dust and vanished completely in a gust of wind.
“Quick!”
The black-robed man wielding two blades felt his scalp go numb when he turned around and saw Argos vanish. His soul almost left his body. He clenched his teeth and accelerated once again to leap past a bunch of soldiers. However, just as he had heaved a sigh of relief, a towering wall of earth suddenly emerged from the ground in front of him, blocking his path. Then, a pair of hands suddenly extended out of the ground and dragged down him into the earth.
“Ah…”
Traces of blood seeped from the ground and a pathetic cry was heard. Peace soon returned to the area as if nothing had happened. It was as eerie as a nightmare! Even the powerful black-robed men could do nothing but stare as they witnessed this terrifying scene. Their hearts felt as though they would jump out of their chests!
“This… Is that a human or a ghost?”
“A monster…it is indeed a monster. We’re all going to die; we;re all going to die!”
…
Even the black-robed men with the abilities of Dimensional Wanderers felt their scalps go numb, let alone the ordinary soldiers. They were all incredibly afraid, and their souls almost left their bodies. The terrifying legends that had been passed down since ancient times surfaced in their hearts once again! Some of the soldiers banded together in their alarm; some murmured to themselves like lunatics; others turned to escape, wishing to make it as far away as possible from this eerie mountain peak.
Boom…
A bolt of lightning seemed to have exploded just above the heads of the soldiers. It had an immense force and caused the soldiers ear-splitting pain. Then, a terrifying snake-shaped arc of lightning pierced through the pitch-black night. It was sudden and nearly stopped the hearts of the already-panicked soldiers.
Splash…
A heavy downpour began after the jarring bolt of lightning. Raindrops splashed on the ground.
“My God, Magical… Magical Beasts…they are all Magical Beasts!”
“What’s going on, this… Where did this many Magical Beasts come from?”
…
The escaping soldiers realized the terrifying scene in the afterglow of the arc of lightning. Bloodthirsty, violent Magical Beasts had surrounded them. There was no end to the tide of Magical Beasts!
An ocean of Magical Beasts–they had unknowingly become surrounded by the Magical Beasts!
The soldiers felt their scalps go numb as they stared at the boundless mass of Magical Beasts. Meanwhile, Yang Ling silently recited the Skyreach Wizard Mantra as he sat at the highest point of the Skyreach Tower. He made use of the Great Wizard Altar and the continuous stream of energy entering his body and quickly formed multiple Wizard Mantras to cast the unparalleled Wizard Technique, used to control the universe with the fastest speed possible.
The Wizard Mantras entered the empty space with blinding speed. His Divine Knowledge spread to every corner of the peak like a spider’s web. Within the bushes, among the treetops, between the rocks… Mysterious, ever-changing symbols appeared faintly in these places. An obscure ripple of energy hung in the air…
Slowly, the jarring lightning bolts and deafening thunder disappeared. Even the rain that had been falling from the heavens had suddenly vanished. The sky and the ground became one color–a hazy gray–as if they were in a space of pure chaos!
The Great Wizard Universe!
The already-fearful soldiers were caught even further off guard by the unparalleled Wizard Technique that the Skyreach Wizard Venerable was using to control the universe. Yang Ling had only cultivated one of the twelve passages within the Skyreach Wizard Mantra, and the current power of the Great Wizard Universe was far from its true potential. Yang Ling could only layer on basic Illusory Formations and simple Killing Formations, as well as impact the various laws of the universe in a minor way. Still, it was more than enough to arouse great fear in the hearts of the soldiers guarding the Skyreach Tower.
“How is it possible? How could the Magical Elements in the air become this weak all of a sudden? How is it possible?”
“Brother Mike, wait for me… The gravity has gotten so much stronger, I can’t move!”
“Aaah, the monster of the legends has arrived! We’re all going to die; we’re all going to die!”
…
The gray universe shocked all of the soldiers. They soon realized something even more terrifying, however. The air here was thin and the gravity abnormal. In fact, even the laws of the universe had undergone an eerie transformation… All of this scared the soldiers stiff, as if they were witnessing the eve of a Great Dimensional Explosion.
“Kill them all! Don’t leave any alive!”
The ice-cold sound was fleeting, as if it had come from the vast empty space, or from an underground cavern that was deep beyond comprehension. The sentence had just ended when a deafening roar spread out from within the darkness. Bloodthirsty, violent Magical Beasts pounced out with unbridled bloodlust and manically attacked the soldiers. Their assault was like a tidal wave, each round of attacks stronger than the last!
Yang Ling’s order initiated the massacre as if it was a Life Destroying Amulet!
“Death Ripple!”
“Thunderbolt Windstorm!”
Yang Ling’s Great Wizard Universe greatly cut down the soldiers’ power and speed, as well as drastically reducing their will and courage to fight. The technique perfectly complemented the efforts of the bloodthirsty Magical Beast Army.
The Corpse Wizard King, Blood Angel Ophelia, the Dark Dragon King, and the rest of the group felt sad whenever they thought about Yuna, who was lying motionless in the Crystal Coffin. They got into the Demon God Battle Formation and charged forward, killing the soldiers guarding the Skyreach Tower one by one, systematic as a meat grinder. The Golden Roc unleashed a manic massacre and tore soldiers to pieces, one after another. Even though he had not fully recovered from his injuries, in his manic state, his attacks were incredibly precise. He was a nightmare for his enemies.
The Corpse Wizard King led the Magical Beast Army in fiercely attacking the ordinary soldiers, while Shadow Wizard Winnink, the Thousand-handed Blood Vine, and the Scorpion King Ymort aimed the God-Slaughtering Arrow directly at the commanders of the enemy forces. The Mother Empress and Grand Wizard Houtu focused on dealing with the black-robed men with the abilities of Dimensional Wanderers. Grand Wizard Houtu killed off a few black-robed men and absorbed their essential energies in an instant.
The attacks of Grand Wizard Houtu, the Mother Empress, the Golden Roc, and the rest of the group were fierce and precise, unparalleled. However, the overwhelming number of Magical Beasts was what truly made the ordinary soldiers despair. The number of Magical Beasts that had pounced out from the shadows far exceeded their imagination. They could not kill enough of them, nor did they have anywhere to escape to. They could not run, no matter how strong they were.
The Thousand-faced Mink, which had transformed into a little girl, sat on the back of the Horned Dragon King, then conjured a large number of illusions, using powerful Magical Beasts like the Mother Empress, the Golden Roc, and the ancient Dragon Turtle Kaleisa as the base. She commanded the illusory bodies to blend themselves into the vanguard of the Magical Beast Army.
Vast, countless!
The Thousand-faced Mink’s illusory bodies had improved significantly in terms of both quantity and quality once she had advanced to the divine level. The Magical Beast Army already had a massive number of soldiers, but with the illusions added, it looked as though there was no end to them. Their army was vast like the ocean, and their enemies could not kill enough of them.
The Thousand-faced Mink could not hold a candle to mighty Magical Beasts like the Golden Roc and the Mother Empress in terms of individual offensive ability, only having abilities of an average High-level Deity. However, her impact was unparalleled within a large-scale battle! The illusory Magical Beasts gave their enemies plenty of trouble. Her only flaw was that she could not conjure illusions of the Grand Wizard Houtu. That would have made the overall offensive capabilities of the Magical Beast Army even more terrifying!
Corpses lined the ground, blood flowing in rivers!
There had been over five thousand soldiers guarding the Skyreach Tower. Of these, nearly ten were black-robed men with the abilities of Dimensional Wanderers. The ordinary soldiers all had abilities above the divine level, which meant that the overall strength of the force was even greater than that of an average Divine Branch. However, not one person was able to escape the surprise attack of the Magical Beast Army.
The Great Wizard Universe enveloping the entire peak, the countless bloodthirsty beasts, the precise attacks from powerful fighters like Grand Wizard Houtu and the Mother Empress… All of this crushed the morale and spirit of the enemy, leaving them with no way to escape!
Buzz…
No one could resist Yang Ling’s blade!
Blood was everywhere once Yang Ling took out his sword. Yang Ling coldly scanned the blood-soaked battlefield after killing the last black-robed man, then waved his hand and released the Great Wizard Universe. He had nearly depleted all of the energy in his body when he’d revived the Grand Wizard and cast the Great Wizard Universe. However, he had meditated and recovered most of his energy with the help of the ancient restriction on the Skyreach Tower and the Skyreach Spirit Gathering Wizard Technique.
“The Skyreach Tower is forbidden land where only Great Wizards may tread. Those who dare to barge in must die!” Yang Ling confirmed the next phase of the plan, wearing an ice-cold expression.
Having advanced to the beginner level of Wizard Deity, he was confident that he could kill the Lord of the City Amongst the Clouds head-on, especially now that he had revived Grand Wizard Houtu. The next step of the plan was to search for the other eleven Skyreach Towers and revive the rest of the Grand Wizards. Meanwhile, it was time for him to ascertain the specific location of the City Amongst the Clouds and get the Magical Beast Army to bathe it in blood!
