Chapter 641: Mana Seed

Translator: Shiraishi Editor: TheAlliance

The mist was condensing around the mana pond, continuously dripping droplets on the floor that converged together in the mana pond.

Lin Yun walked over, and just by taking a breath, his Magic Array slightly revolved and the large amount of mana transformed into a whirlwind charging at Lin Yun. The considerable amount of mana that he had consumed before was recovered with this simple breath.

Even the mana outside of his body appeared to be trying to draw itself to him.

As for the others, their mana slowly recovered without meditating.

Zeuss opened his eyes and looked at the mana pond in front of him, his hands shivering. He had already lost all his mana, but standing there, he could feel still feel the thick mana in the air.

He had never seen such dense mana in all his life, and there was a never-ending drizzle above the mana pond.

It was clearly visible that the mist was formed from the convergence of mana, and it was condensing again until it reached a liquid state.

From there, they would further condense into countless crystals of mana in the pond.

Zeuss was shaking… He might really be able to recover in this place!

Because he, despite having lost his mana, could clearly feel the flow of mana in this place. This was the best proof!

"Go, Sir Zeuss, sit next to the mana pond," Lin Yun solemnly said. "But be careful to not explode. You are only an ordinary person at the moment!"

Zeuss quickly nodded.

The mana was so dense that when he was standing next to the pool, he could definitely feel a huge amount of mana permeating his body on its own. If he jumped into the pool, he would definitely explode from the incredible influx of mana.

Zeuss Watson rushed to the side of the mana pond, closing his eyes and trying to absorb the mana. He thought that this was Lin Yun's method, relying on the rich environment to rouse his mana.

But then, Lin Yun softly breathed, his consciousness spreading out like a storm, making the plane shiver alongside his mind storm.

Lin Yun's consciousness filled the entire Demiplane and chaotically changed the Demiplane. The earth on the edges began to quickly expand and a large amount of land condensed, becoming thicker and thicker.

A soft bud drilled out of the ground and instantly turned into a green sprout. Then, as if several dozen years had passed, it quickly matured into a fully grown tree.

The earth in the center of the Demiplane seemed to come alive. It quickly swelled up, causing loud rumbles to echo as it turned into a peak that was several hundred meters tall.

And on the side of the mana pond, the thick Mana Vine twisted on itself as it grew bigger and bigger until it was a dozen meters thick, before turning into several hundred thin vines with an explosion. These vines took root in the Demiplane while the other end drilled into the void, absorbing mana from it to irrigate the Demiplane.

The drizzle above the mana pond also turned into a rainstorm falling into the pond, making the level of mana within rise at a visible speed.

But despite all the extra mana, it didn't overflow. Instead, it greatly changed along with the Demiplane's great changes. The pond became deeper and deeper. The area where mana crystallization occurred slowly sank into the ground as mana filled the pond, hiding the depths from sight.

The changes to the Demiplane shocked Zeuss. His eyes were wide open as he watched this scene.

'A Natural Demiplane! Merlin actually controls a Natural Demiplane!'

Zeuss' heart shook. He originally thought this was an ordinary Demiplane that Lin Yun had luckily found the Planar Path to, but who would have thought that this was actually a Natural Demiplane? And it looked like it was being properly nurtured.

A developed Demiplane that even contained the four Elemental Laws! This was too valuable!

In the Watson Family, Zeuss had seen many records regarding Natural Demiplanes. They couldn't be compared to ordinary Demiplanes, or Demiplanes that were established by first-rate mages. It was speculated that they weren't limited like the artificially created Demiplanes because they could grow endlessly.

As long as the conditions were suitable, it wouldn't be impossible for them to turn into Planes.

'And Merlin is actually in control of one… Damnit! After returning, I must make sure that those idiots from the Family remain clear-headed and don't become hostile towards the Merlin Family for small benefits!'

'Mafa Merlin is too frightening, even more terrifying than that ancestor of the Merlin Family. He already has the strength of an 8th Rank Archmage without having broken through the Archmage realm. Once he advances to the Archmage realm, he will definitely have the power to contend against a 9th Rank Archmage!

'With his innate gift, the possibility of breaking through to the Heaven Rank is too high. Without the power of a Heaven Mage, no one can kill him. And with this Natural Demiplane, if these idiots offend the Merlin Family, the Merlin Family would only need to wait until Mafa Merlin advances to the Heaven Rank…'

As he thought of this, Zeuss couldn't help shivering.

He didn't dare to think about it… That Mafa Merlin might look amiable, but he wouldn't hold back once he made a decision.

Zeuss didn't feel good as the implications sank in.

Meanwhile, Lin Yun felt very good. He mobilized the power of the Demiplane for the first time, and the outcome was beyond his expectations.

He had only needed a single breath to recover his mana earlier, and that made his mana rise a bit, directly reaching the peak of the 9th Rank. If he relaxed in the slightest, he would directly advance to the Archmage realm.

The fusion of the Void Forge and the Book of Ten Thousand Mantras was extremely good, making him advance to the 9th Rank instantly. And with the power of a 9th Rank Archmage, his three Core Meditation Law Sets, and the Magic Array, the power he could mobilize from the Demiplane was far stronger than before.

And with the rapid development of the Demiplane, as well as the presence of the four Elemental Laws, Lin Yun's control over the Demiplane had greatly strengthened.

All in all, Lin Yun could already start controlling this Natural Demiplane. Although he could only control a small portion, it was still extremely powerful.

The growth of the Demiplane could already be controlled by this small portion. The mountain peak rising in the center of the Demiplane was the result of Lin Yun's control. He could even control the Demiplane to increase the growth speed.

Lin Yun controlled the power of the Demiplane and restricted the mana around his body from entering his body while at the same time using the Demiplane's power to suppress any signs of a breakthrough.

Following Lin Yun's movement, Zeuss, who was foolishly looking at these changes, was already becoming numb.

The roused liquid mana in the mana pond turned into a waterspout and flew towards Zeuss Watson.

A large amount of mana entered Zeuss' body like a surging river. But this huge amount of mana didn't make Zeuss explode as he'd been worrying about.

Despite being an amount of mana that exceeded what his body could handle, it washed over him without hurting him. The feeling of having a lot of mana appeared once again within his mind. Zeuss was pleasantly surprised, and his eyes started becoming teary.

As more and more mana poured into Zeuss' body, the liquid mana kept cleansing his body.

But by the time Zeuss felt that the mana had converged to a certain degree, the mana suddenly slipped away from his body.

The mana that flowed out once again returned to the mana pond, but more mana came from the mana pond and poured into his body.

Zeuss understood. He was only an ordinary person now, and the only reason that the mana didn't cause him to blow up was Lin Yun's control. He wasn't even thinking of trying to keep a bit of mana.

Zeuss didn't dare to say anything to disturb Lin Yun. He only calmly sat there, taking advantage of the opportunity to react to that mana.

The huge amount of mana entering his body clearly triggered a reaction. As long as one wasn't dead, there would be a reaction.

The mana kept cleansing Zeuss, over and over again, the amount of mana used was astronomical, but fortunately, the last thing missing here was mana.

The limit was Lin Yun's ability to control the mana.

Controlling the Demiplane's power was placing a huge burden on Lin Yun, especially since the longer it took, the more effort was needed. Beads of sweat slowly began dripping from Lin Yun's forehead.

His clothes were also wet, but it was unknown whether it was from the misty surroundings or from sweat.

Lin Yun slowly paled as the mana kept cleansing Zeuss, and it was already becoming very difficult for him.

Zeuss saw Lin Yun's appearance and felt moved. He made up his mind right then. Even if he didn't recover, he would remember Lin Yun's favor.

Seconds slowly passed, and after half an hour, a faint light shone from Zeuss' body.

This light wasn't ignored as Zeuss' eyes shone like a dazzling sun.

That faint mana fluctuation was simply not comparable to the huge flood of mana, but Zeuss' mind was focused on that throbbing mana fluctuation.

"Mana Seed!" Zeuss' exhausted voice changed, turning into an uncontrollable shriek.

Chapter 642: Two Country Bumpkins

Translator: Shiraishi Editor: TheAlliance

How could Zeuss not be excited?

The Mana Seed was the first step for a person to be called a mage. No one, not even eventual Heaven Mages, could skip this step!

Only those with a Mana Seed could become a mage!

At first, the Mana Seed could barely hold any mana. It would be so little that many would say that a Magic Apprentice's mana was negligible.

But once the Mana Seed expanded, it would become something familiar to all mages.

A Mana Whirlpool!

As the Mana Whirlpool expanded, it would evolve into the Magic Conducting Runes, and most things mages would fuse later on, such as Core Meditation Law Set, would be fused with Magic Conducting Runes.

No matter how powerful a mage was, in the end, everything evolved from the Mana Seed.

This was the start of everything, a very small Mana Seed that could be burnt out by the wind like a weak flame.

This was the foundation of any mage. As long as the Mana Seed, or its evolutions, the Mana Whirlpool and the Magic Conducting Rune, were still there, mages could recover.

Like earlier, when Lin Yun's mana had been forcibly extracted by that monster. After time had passed, that mana had recovered.

This was because his Magic Array hadn't been damaged. As long as the Magic Array was still there, even if he used all his mana, not leaving a single drop behind, Lin Yun would still be able to recover his mana rather quickly.

As for Zeuss, he had also lost all his mana, but his Magic Conducting Rune had collapsed and had reverted to a Mana Whirlpool, before atrophying into a Mana Seed, which was then absorbed by the monster.

It was because Zeuss' Mana Seed had completely disappeared that he was no longer a mage. Even if Lin Yun poured mana into him, Zeuss would be unable to hold onto a single bit of it.

Normally, no matter how powerful a mage was, once their Mana Seed was destroyed, they would be crippled forever, as a Mana Seed was something that usually couldn't be regenerated.

Because Mana Seeds represented a mage's magic life. Like a human's life, once they died, they couldn't be revived.

Zeuss hadn't been convinced when he had heard Lin Yun's words at first, or perhaps it was more like he didn't believe it.

But even if he didn't believe his words, Zeuss was like a drowning man in his darkest hour. Even if he was only given a straw, he would hold onto it dearly.

He was originally just trying everything out of desperation since it couldn't get worse, but he was stunned when he felt the Mana Seed within his body recover.

That faint light was like a rumble of thunder in his mind.

He couldn't describe what he was feeling at this moment.

Lin Yun heard the surprise in Zeuss' voice and stopped using the power of the Demiplane. The Demiplane shook, and the changes calmed down. The mana pond also became a lot calmer.

Using the power of the Demiplane for such a long time had been very taxing on his mind, making Lin Yun look abnormally pale.

Zeuss couldn't understand how formidable Lin Yun's actions were, because he'd only thought that Lin Yun was fortunate enough to find a matured Demiplane.

But he didn't know that this Demiplane had only been a piece of land, at first. Let alone the stars and the sun, there had been no trace of the Elemental Laws, and the surroundings were completely empty. It might have collapsed instantly if it encountered a Netherstorm.

From that nothing till now, the Demiplane had gained a sun, the four Elemental Laws, as well close to one hundred and fifty kilometers.

From almost no mana, something that could barely be called a Demiplane now possessed several hundred matured Mana Vines gathering rich mana into a mana pond.

Lin Yun had accompanied this Demiplane on its journey, and his imprint was everywhere!

The biggest constraint making it so that he couldn't fully control the Demiplane was his rank.

He used such a huge amount of power to cleanse Zeuss' body, while also using the power of the Demiplane to make sure that the mana wouldn't injure him. This treatment would even make a good-for-nothing without any magic talent produce a Mana Seed.

In fact, Lin Yun knew that this method would create a formidable Heaven Rank powerhouse a few millennia later.

That guy was called Noves, and he was born into a powerful magic family that had seven or eight Heaven Mages. Even the servants were at least Magic Apprentices.

And Noves, as the only son of the Patriarch, didn't have a single bit of magical talent. He was still a Magic Apprentice at fifteen, and many said that he was ruining the reputation of the Family.

Then, his Mana Seed was crippled in a family conflict.

But his father loved his only son and took him to his established Demiplane and used it to cleanse Noves' body. Noves had suffered from that huge power, but he persevered until his Mana Seed recovered.

And the purest Mana Seed made Noves' talent suddenly jump to a frightening stage. He reached the Mage realm that very year and the Great Mage realm the next year. He took five years to reach the High Mage realm, ten years for the Archmage realm, and ended up reaching the Heaven realm when he turned fifty.

That method became widespread. Only after the Mana Baptism appeared at the peak of the Magic Era did that extremely dangerous method with uncertain results become abandoned.

And the only ones who could guarantee the birth of a Mana Seed without death were the Heaven Mages with Natural Demiplanes!

Natural Demiplanes were more powerful than established Demiplanes.

Naturally, no one could control that power as if it was part of their body like Lin Yun could.

As Lin Yun sat on the ground to rest, he looked at the excited Zeuss meditating, and he silently smiled.

After an hour, Zeuss reluctantly opened his eyes, his mana fluctuations having already reached the level of a 5th Rank Magic Apprentice.

Not only was his resurrected Mana Seed a bit purer than his previous Mana Seed, but with the frighteningly dense mana of this place, the efficiency of his meditation was very high. One hour of meditation was enough for Zeuss to progress this far.

Zeuss' eyes were red as he sensed the faint mana within his body.

The joy of being reborn, compared to the painful despair he felt two hours ago, made Zeuss feel like he was dreaming.

Especially when he felt the growing mana within his body, Zeuss was very clear that in at most four to five months, his strength would have recovered thoroughly!

Having trodden that path before, he wouldn't meet any obstructions on his way. He only needed some time.

Four to five months, that was all. As long as he could recover, he might even advance in four to five years…

Zeuss had a sour feeling. It was as if something was stifling his heart. He really wanted to cry to vent. Not only had he recovered his Mana Seed, but he might even progress after recovering…

Zeuss resisted the temptation to just keep meditating and quickly walked to Lin Yun. He couldn't help grabbing his arm, saying with trembling lips, "Sir Mafa, I… I really don't know what to say. You gave me a new life…"

After saying that, Zeuss thought of what he had said and done before and felt like a jerk. Although Lin Yun was young, he was a great person, a really great person.

He previously thought that he was just a member of the Merlin Family that had grown away from the Family with no guidance, only a nouveau riche who used some money to buy his way into the Merlin Family.

But how could those so-called geniuses nurtured by the Merlin Family compare to Mafa Merlin?

As an 8th Rank High Mage, he could already contend against 9th Rank Archmages, and was relatively stronger. Breaking through was as simple as eating and drinking. Others would be longing for a breakthrough, but he was obviously able to progress easily, yet he was suppressing himself.

It was worth going out, experiencing a lot, getting a lot knowledge and knowing the importance of foundations.

Lin Yun slightly frowned as he looked at Zeuss, who was choked with emotion. He was a bit worried as he wondered, 'Is this guy so sad that his mind broke?'

"Sir Zeuss? Are you okay?" Lin Yun murmured out.

Zeuss immediately recovered and looked at Lin Yun, feeling ashamed. "Sir Mafa, I am truly sorry, I misunderstood you…"

'Look, the first thing Sir Mafa is asking about isn't the promise I made before, but if I'm okay. How could he be a vile person…'

Lin Yun was baffled by Zeuss' behavior and wondered if that guy's brain had been affected by the surge of mana for him to suddenly start weeping emotionally.

Lin Yun shook his head. "Let's go, we should leave this place first, we aren't done with the Intrepid…"

Zeuss hurriedly nodded. He understood. His Mana Seed had just recovered, so he couldn't meditate here for too long. The mana in this place was too rich, and it wasn't a good thing to make the Mana Seed grow too fast. And now that he had a fresh beginning, he could fix many of the mistakes he had made before. Such a good opportunity couldn't be wasted.

Lin Yun told Enderfa and the others to make their preparations. On the other side, the two Ancestor Souls were winding around the small wolf, trying to brainwash him.

Lin Yun sneered and fished out eight mana crystals that were over level 20 and called the small wolf. The wolf cheered and instantly rushed over a hundred meters to land in Lin Yun's embrace.

"Here, that's for you. Don't eat too quickly…"

The small wolf was beaming with joy and affectionately rubbed against Lin Yun, holding his pile of mana crystals before running into the distance, making the two Ancestor Souls grieve and lament.

Enderfa sneered, his three faces simultaneously spitting at them, "Two country bumpkins trying to play some tricks. Next time you come in, if there is one blade of grass missing, you should make these two compensate one spirit mana crystal!"

Chapter 643: Flying Out

Translator: Shiraishi Editor: TheAlliance

Lin Yun hardly cared. He saw the attitude of the two Ancestor Souls towards the small wolf and knew that even if they were given a thousand years to trick the little wolf, the small wolf could just let out a fart, and they would kneel to the ground while shivering.

Lin Yun opened the Planar Path and made the others leave, before following behind.

Back in the Captain's Cabin, the group started discussing where they should go next.

Even Zeuss joined the discussion.

"We should hurry out of this plane, the Intrepid is too evil…"

Zeuss didn't have any good feelings about the Intrepid. He only wanted to return and find a place to rest and recover his strength. It was the most important thing to him right now.

Xiuban kept thinking of the Dragonblood Flower Rhizome and argued that they should overturn the entire Intrepid.

Enderfa wasn't looking for anything, as the Molten Core was already embedded in the Ten Thousand Spell Wheel.

As for Reina, she had even fewer desires. She only wanted to follow Lin Yun and help him mature to the point where he could revive her father.

The group discussed for a while until Lin Yun opened his mouth.

"I'm going to Constance's God Nation."

Enderfa, Reina, and Xiuban remained silent after hearing this. Since Lin Yun said this, it meant that he had already made his decision, so they just had to follow. They had come out of the Intrepid alive, so why should they be afraid of a God Nation?

Zeuss shook his head and muttered, "Going to Constance's God Nation is definitely a bad idea."

After saying so, he didn't wait for the others to question him and calmly said, "I believe Sir Mafa has already guessed… Our Watson Family didn't come for the Raging Flame Emperor's scepter, but rather to find some relic belonging to Constance."

After saying this, Zeuss saw Lin Yun's indifferent expression, so he added with some hesitation, "In fact, I also don't know what it is. The Family only got clues that the relic was in Constance's resting place, in the God Nation.

"Before coming, the Family had already conducted a lot of investigations and gathered many clues. Constance's God Nation was a huge tree spanning in the horizon, it was the rumored Wisdom Tree, and in the legends, that Wisdom Tree was extremely huge and possessed boundless power.

"Constance's God Nation was actually that tree! Although Constance has already fallen, that tree is still alive, and the built God Nation was like an independent world. Only those with Constance's bloodline could open the entrance to his God Nation.

"We got the information that the Black Tower brought someone with Constance's bloodline, while our Watson Family also had one, Arthus! Arthus had the bloodline of Constance on his mother's side, and although it was really weak, it was authentic. But Arthus died, and not even his corpse is left. We have no way to enter Constance's God Nation…"

Zeuss thought that since they had no way to enter, he might as well be generous and share his knowledge. He owed Lin Yun too much, so sharing a few family secrets at this point was nothing.

After he was done, Enderfa's lips twitched, but he didn't say anything to Zeuss. Instead, he told Lin Yun, "Well, since we can't go, we might as well leave…"

No one had an exact idea of where Constance's God Nation was, but everyone understood that if it was stable, it definitely couldn't be forcibly infiltrated by the few of them.

It was like a visible new plane. Without knowing the planar coordinates, they could only watch helplessly if they didn't have enough power to force their way in.

Someone with Constance's bloodline like Arthus would function similarly to planar coordinates in this case. That was the key to opening the Planar Path.

Zeuss, out of kindness, wanted to advise Lin Yun, but Lin Yun said without caring, "It doesn't matter, I originally didn't plan on using someone like Arthus."

Zeuss was stunned, and Enderfa was a bit puzzled. It was a God Nation, after all. What could he do without a key?

Then, they saw Lin Yun take out the Book of Ten Thousand Mantras and chant a few strange sentences, making countless runes fly out of the Book of Ten Thousand Mantras.

All of these runes flew out, shining like fireflies, crazily charging towards the crystal wheel within the cabin.

The runes seemed to merge with the wheel, pouring in continuously. It looked like a river of runes was coming out of Lin Yun and flowing into the wheel.

After no less than ten seconds, the Book of Ten Thousand Mantras stopped emitting runes, but during those dozen seconds, close to a hundred thousand runes fell into the crystal wheel.

The crystal wheel slowly shone, and the equipment that had been silent for so long in the Captain's Cabin lit up with it, fully awakened.

A steady flow of power was flowing through the Captain's Cabin.

"Bang, bang, bang…"

Deep sounds kept echoing as the environment within the cabin changed dramatically.

The entire cabin became transparent. The wall turned into a screen, and what appeared on the screen were the surroundings of the Intrepid!

The four walls, and even the ceiling and the floor… It was as if the Intrepid had become transparent. By looking down, he could see what was below the Intrepid, and by looking up, he could see what was above.

Enderfa let out a surprised sound and looked at Lin Yun with shock, "Merlin, you.."

He didn't get to finish his sentence, because everyone felt the hull shake before seeing a large amount of ice shattering in front.

They could see a shower of ice fragments falling down from above as the Intrepid was moving to pierce the layer of ice.

That layer of ice was quite ponderous, but it was nothing more than cotton in front of the Intrepid. It was crushed by the Intrepid's power as the Intrepid forced its way through it, splitting it in two. Nothing could be done about it, as no power could stop the Intrepid from rising.

Everyone was stunned. This was the real power of the Intrepid!

The ice was unable to stop it as it went through the layer of ice, those mountain-like icebergs barely acting as obstacles.

Even shattering those glaciers only made the Intrepid slightly shake, and nothing more…

After more than ten seconds, the ice above it dissipated, and sunshine could be seen. And the Intrepid continued onwards, taking off into the sky!

By looking down, they could see ice spreading below them for who knew how many kilometers. And at this moment, the ground looked like a mirror with a huge crack in it, which the Intrepid has just come out of.

"Fly… Flying up!" Zeuss said while trembling.

He then opened his eyes wide and looked at Lin Yun as if he was looking at a God. He stammered with a startled tone, "You… You can control the Intrepid?"

Enderfa recovered from his shock and looked at Lin Yun, flabbergasted, "You actually… already control the Intrepid?!"

The Intrepid hovered in midair, and after adjusting the direction, it started to slowly speed up. The power of the huge sails was roused, and they covered the Intrepid in a layer of light. The surroundings were continuously falling behind as the Intrepid kept accelerating.

Lin Yun had been with them for so long, yet no one had noticed anything. He hadn't been able to control it before, so how could he control the Intrepid now?

Enderfa suddenly recalled the Book of Ten Thousand Mantras. It looked like the book wasn't as simple as he thought. There had to be more to it than they'd thought.

Enderfa interjected in annoyance as he remembered Lin Yun's actions after he fused with the Book of Ten Thousand Mantras.

'Hell, it's not that that teleportation array hadn't been discovered, but rather, it was summoned by Merlin. He could barely open a small crack by using all his power before, but after fusing with the Book of Ten Thousand Mantras, he was able to casually open an entrance.

'Such an obvious performance, yet I completely overlooked it!'

Enderfa looked at the country bumpkin Draconic Beastman and felt that his behavior wasn't much different from that Beastman. It was such a humiliation.

Everyone was looking outside. It looked like they were floating in midair, and nothing was obstructing their gazes. The entire Captain's Cabin seemed to have disappeared, and only the crystal wheel remained.

Lin Yun controlled the crystal wheel to adjust the direction of the Intrepid. It didn't take long before Zeuss recovered and rushed to Lin Yun. "Sir Mafa, you wouldn't really plan on going to Constance's God Nation, right? We should go back… There is no way in, and moreover, this place already belongs to Constance's God Nation. It'll be very troublesome if you meet any powerful lifeforms…"

Lin Yun didn't say anything as he continued onwards. No matter how Zeuss tried to persuade him, Lin Yun remained unmoved.

After over half an hour, a very large tree, seemingly reaching the heavens, could be seen on the horizon!

The tree kept growing in their sight, becoming bigger and bigger. Everyone was staring blankly at the enormous tree. The roots went into the ground, and it was unknown how deep, but the trunk was extremely thick. They couldn't tell quite how large it all was from where they were.

The thick trunk was piercing through the sky with the branches and leaves hanging down, like an umbrella protecting the area.

Thick ancient branches were hanging down from the tree, and around those branches was a radiance similar to a river of stars revolving around the entire tree. It was falling down from above, but the origin couldn't be seen as it turned into a translucent radiance covering the area around the tree.

Chapter 644: So-called Laws

Translator: Shiraishi Editor: TheAlliance

A seven-colored rainbow was coiling around the tree's surroundings like a ribbon. They could faintly see an ancient nation at the top of the tree when clouds floated away… It looked quiet and solemn. From their location, they could see many huge lifeforms moving, in the sky, some ancient flying magic beasts could be seen soaring.

As they approached, everyone could feel the huge tree. It was clearly visible in front of them, but they felt that the tree was in another world, as if they were looking at a mirage.

"Wisdom Tree!" Zeuss could hardly utter these two words.

Even if he had read many descriptions, they couldn't even compare to the shock of seeing it in person!

This was Constance's nation, the nation that truly belonged to Constance, the nation formed from the evolution of the Wisdom Tree!

But the moment they saw the Wisdom Tree, Lin Yun adjusted his direction and a huge rune appeared on the Intrepid again, which he pressed.

The Intrepid slightly shook, and everyone could see their surroundings disappearing faster and faster as the Intrepid's speed greatly increased.

Zeuss looked at Lin Yun, not understanding why he was doing something so crazy. After a bit, they saw the Wisdom Tree becoming bigger and bigger and the distance quickly being covered. Zeuss suddenly shook and stood up, his eyes wide open as he looked at Lin Yun and cried out in alarm, "You are crazy! Insane!"

Enderfa came over and looked at Lin Yun, who was focused on controlling the Intrepid, and said in a regretful voice, "Merlin, you aren't thinking of using the Intrepid to crash into Constance's God Nation, right?"

Lin Yun didn't respond, but the speed of the Intrepid kept increasing. Only a blur could be seen on the sides as the Wisdom Tree was getting bigger and bigger.

The Wisdom Tree slowly became even more imposing, connecting heaven and earth. Its peak couldn't be seen, and even the sides looked endless. Just the trunk itself was unimaginably thick…

"Brace yourselves!" Lin Yun shouted, firmly watching the river of stars in front of him.

The others couldn't stop Lin Yun… This couldn't be stopped anymore. They could only stare blankly as the Intrepid crashed into the God Nation.

After a few seconds, the Intrepid finally collided with the border of the God Nation.

Those calm stars were now like a thunderous flood, surging into a boundlessly tall wave filled with spatial fluctuations.

A large area was swept up by this wave and ended up like a piece of paper crumpled into a ball. A sinister and thick spatial crack now appeared in midair.

Netherstorms rushed out from the space and a large amount of berserk energy wreaked havoc everywhere, forcibly scattering the clouds lingering in the surroundings.

Those calm, silk-like rainbows also burst out with shocking power, and one of them softly shook, forcibly erasing the incoming Netherstorms and restoring the torn space to its previous condition.

But around the Intrepid, a large number of rainbows turned into fierce, surging mana, transforming into a whirlpool shrouding the front of the Intrepid. They were like seven-colored drills ruthlessly attacking the defenses of the God Nation.

The collision between the river of stars and the seven-colored energy gave birth to a large amount of lightning. The rumbling sound of thunder kept being heard as countless bolts exploded in the air.

A large amount of starlight burst in that river of stars, and dozens of stars shattered every second. Frightening fluctuations spread from the Intrepid and the spatial distortions were clearly visible, turning the surroundings into a vortex.

Everyone could see that their surroundings had become completely twisted just by looking out of the Captain's Cabin. The area outside was like a mud dumpling, mixed beyond recognition.

But in front of the Intrepid, there were many roused lightning bolts. The power of the formidable collisions created a terrifying rift.

Mana shrouded the Intrepid as if it was conscious and kept tearing at this rift.

After a few seconds, the barrier to the God Nation was torn open.

The power of the collisions slowly settled, and the river of stars once again regained its peace. The seven-colored rainbows also became peaceful, calmly flowing on the surface of the God Nation.

The Intrepid looked like a nail that had pierced through the surface of the God Nation. The prow was inside the God Nation, while a large part of its body was still outside.

A sigh of relief finally came from Lin Yun, whose back was drenched in cold sweat.

Although the Intrepid's was mainly forged out of Senders' body and was no doubt formidable, what it hit was Constance's God Nation. No one wouldn't be nervous in such a situation.

"No wonder Red Beard said that he needed the help of the Raging Flame Emperor. Turns out he wanted to open the barrier to the God Nation. Only the Intrepid and the Book of Ten Thousand Mantras together could open the barrier of the God Nation," Lin Yun mumbled. He finally understood what had been puzzling him. Without both, wanting to break through Constance's God Nation wouldn't be so easy.

Everyone else was frightened, their legs shaking. As for Zeuss, he opened his eyes and said with trembling lips, "How could this be? This is impossible…"

'How could Constance's God Nation be opened without Constance's bloodline? This a God's power, how could it be?'

After a few minutes, the panicked group somewhat recovered and could see from the screens that the Intrepid was surrounded by seven-colored mana that was withstanding the power of the God Nation. It could be said that there was not a single crack between the Intrepid and the barrier of the God Nation.

Lin Yun led everyone to the bow of the ship and raised his head to see the terrifying flowing mana. That clearly wasn't a power that an ordinary person could come into contact with.

They lowered their heads and carefully advanced on the prow, afraid that the power above their heads would fall.

After reaching the peak of the prow, they passed through the barrier of the God Nation. At that point, they could see the God Nation's true appearance.

From the outside, it looked like a projection of void, but it was different once they actually reached the God Nation.

There was a large amount of dazzling mist in the air that formed a river flowing into the void. They could also see a large amount of bright-colored vegetation. Each and every plant looked as if it came from a dream world.

Looking up, they saw that although vegetation was covering the sky, it didn't look dark and gloomy at all. A large amount of light was illuminating the surroundings. The dazzling light could turn into rare beasts like graceful phoenixes.

Zeuss held his breath, the mana within his body frantically surging as he advanced a rank in an instant.

"Such formidable mana density!" Zeuss exclaimed in surprise.

Those streams of fog flowing in the void were all formed by the convergence of dense mana.

The mana was rich and terrifying… There might not be such a rich and powerful place in all of Noscent. One breath was enough to make him advance to the 6th Rank of the Magic Apprentice realm, and his mana was quickly increasing. It wouldn't take long before he advanced again.

Lin Yun didn't look surprised, and he was actually on alert. He insisted on coming here, but that didn't mean he would look down on this God Nation.

Seeing this dreamy, picturesque scene before his eyes and feeling the terrifying mana density and activity, Lin Yun knew that despite trying to prepare himself for anything, he had still underestimated Constance's God Nation.

Gods had always been taboos, and their power wasn't something a mortal could touch.

Even if Constance had already died and left behind his God Nation, it would be full of deadly dangers to mortals.

The 72 Gods were the first lifeforms born when the entire world was first established. They were born from the power of the world and had boundless power and wisdom. Every single one of them would become a terrifying existence.

They ruled countless races and endless planes. Entire worlds would shake in their shadows.

That was a power that couldn't be described. The greatest tools to display that power were the God Nations!

The God Nations were the biggest temples the Gods possessed. They were their palaces and also their most formidable weapons!

Even the Laws could only accept being controlled.

The so-called Laws were the rules that all living beings had to follow… Earth, water, fire, wind, space, time, high, low, obey, oppose…

Sunrise to sundown, the operation of the stars, the change in the seasons, the growth of crops, and rainfall… These were all influenced by Laws.

Archmages had the most basic experience of laws.

But that basic experience was enough to greatly strengthen an Archmage's abilities and would make an Archmage completely different from his previous rank.

After reaching the 5th Rank of the Archmage realm, the gap between every rank would be huge. This was because even the worst 6th Rank Archmage had already started dabbling in Laws, and they would get a greater understanding of Laws with every rank, making the changes each level become more and more obvious.

Especially at the 9th Rank, because it was possible for them to pressure anyone below the 9th Rank. At that time, mages could already use Laws to reinforce some of their abilities to reach the limit under the Heaven Rank, making them stand at the limit of mortals.

Chapter 645: Mana Devouring Vine

Translator: Shiraishi Editor: TheAlliance

The emergence of an Archmage is related to Laws. In general, each Archmage would use a Law to strengthen himself.

And once they reached the Heaven realm, they would completely understand the Law and the mysteries behind the Law, allowing them to even use the Law's power to battle. This was a power that surpassed ordinary mortals, known as Extraordinary Power!

This was also why everyone under the Heaven Rank was considered mortal. This was no longer just a difference in power, it was a natural difference!

Without the power of Laws, no matter how powerful a mortal was, they couldn't withstand Extraordinary Power!

And in God Nations, all the Laws were just playthings to the Gods. Time, Space, even the basic Laws could be completely controlled by the Gods.

Gods could set up the earth above and the sky below, they could make rivers go up and could even give limitless lifespan to mortals. Anything they could think of, they could do in the God Nations.

But every God Nation had its own properties, just like how the Intrepid, which had been made out of Senders' remains, had an area filled with illusions and nightmares that would prevent people from realizing that they were dreaming. This wasn't the kind of power that mortals could comprehend.

Only a bit of power remained in the Intrepid, yet it was enough to toy with Lin Yun and the others, regardless of their willpower. Just how powerful would a complete God Nation be?

Lin Yun looked a bit foolish as he stared at the illusory scene before his eyes, thinking for the first time that no ancient book and no ancient record could describe that kind of power. Even he couldn't imagine how formidable a living God would be.

If that feeling had to be described, it would be close to the feeling a frog would feel when leaving its well and seeing the endless sky.

After a long breath, Lin Yun walked off of the prow and stepped onto a branch of the Wisdom Tree. If he hadn't seen it before from the Intrepid, he wouldn't have been able to tell at first glance that this wide area under his feet was only a branch.

He could feel the dense mana flowing under his feet, and his surroundings were covered in waist-high grass that was emitting mana fluctuations. At the top of the root-like branch that seemed to cover the sky grew countless purple Windbell Flowers, and from time to time, a drop of mana could be seen dripping out from those flowers.

A group of fist-sized birds with bright plumage were flocking together there, feeding on those droplets of mana. Chirping sounds echoed, but no one relaxed, because each of those birds was emitting mana fluctuations above level 20.

"Careful!" Lin Yun warned them with a solemn tone.

Enderfa had already started rousing the Ten Thousand Spell Wheel before Lin Yun even said anything. Xiuban was firmly holding onto Carnage, his eyes continuously checking his surroundings.

Meanwhile, Zeuss' legs were trembling. He was only a 7th Rank Magic Apprentice at the moment… He still had to increase his rank.

A group of harmless birds in this place was actually above level 20. He couldn't even defeat a random bird in this place.

There was nothing coming from the grass, only the quiet sound of the grass swaying in the wind. But Lin Yun still cautiously summoned ten Rock Puppets.

The Rock Puppets surrounded them as they moved forward, acting as pathfinders, clearing the path ahead of them.

They detected no danger for the first kilometer or so of travel. In fact, besides those flying birds, they didn't find any living animals.

But suddenly, Lin Yun's expression changed, as he suddenly lost contact with a pathfinding puppet thirty meters ahead of him.

Then, less than two seconds after, he lost contact with the puppets on the sides and the back, losing contact with all ten of them!

Just as the first puppet stopped responding, Lin Yun raised his Draconic Staff and a large, flaming vortex appeared in front of him. Fireblades flew out from the fire vortex and attacked everything in a circle around them, making no distinctions.

The grass instantly turned into ashes, and all the vegetation within several dozen meters was instantly cleared.

But the sound of grinding metal could be heard when the Fireblades reached fifty meters out.

Several dozens of them slashed into jade-colored vines, causing sparks to fly up as the vines twisted around crazily.

Vines that were over a meter tall rose up from all directions. Sharp barbs grew on those jade-like vines, and the very air seemed to be torn apart when they swung.

Unconsciously, everyone had been surrounded by those vines.

"Mana Devouring Vines…" Zeuss shook as he said those words.

He was clearly terrified as he rushed to the center of the group, afraid of being caught by those vines.

It was recorded that Mana Devouring Vines had been eradicated from Noscent as early as the Nesser Dynasty.

They were extremely sensitive to mana fluctuations, able to distinguish the natural mana of a mage within a taboo spell, and when finding animals, they would quietly form a huge net to surround the prey, and then use a sneak attack.

The Mana Devouring Vines would drain the mana out of captured prey, its flesh and blood becoming its nutrients, and once it dried up, it would be discarded.

All these vines were actually part of just one Mana Devouring Vine, but it was level 38. But the mana here was so strong that the vitality of this plant-type magic beast was exceptional. They wouldn't be able to escape as long as most of its body wasn't destroyed.

Many records pertaining to Mana Devouring Vines flashed in Zeuss' mind. The most treacherous forest killer of the God Era. After a Mana Devouring Vine evolved to level 40, all the magic beasts living in the area around it would end up being eradicated.

For the first time, Zeuss felt that knowing too much wasn't good…

While Zeuss was still plagued by regret, Lin Yun made a move. He swung his Draconic Staff and sent Bursting Flames to strike a vine that was moving towards them. The tip of that vine exploded, but that injury was nothing more than a tickle to the Mana Devouring Vine.

Enderfa controlled the Ten Thousand Spell Wheel and several dozen Fire Dragons were cast, turning the surroundings in a sea of fire, stopping the vines several dozen meters away.

Lin Yun waved his staff again, and three flaming vortexes appeared above his head, continuously firing Flame Spears.

Every time a vine would come within thirty meters, it would be hit by a Flame Spear, which would hold it in place until a Bursting Flames exploded on it.

The exploded vines had no opportunity to escape and would then be burnt to ashes by a Flame Hand.

Lin Yun, who had broken into the 9th Rank of the Archmage realm, was now displaying his outstanding casting ability. Each spell would restrict the vines at the worst location for them.

He wanted to counterattack harder, but each time, just as he gained ground, the vines would try to push back.

After five minutes, everything within fifty meters was burnt to a crisp, ad more than half of the Mana Devouring Vine was burnt.

But that Mana Devouring Vine didn't show any sign of retreating, its attacks becoming even more frantic.

Several dozen thick vines rose up around everyone, layering themselves to form a cage that trapped them inside.

Then, all the vines started frantically shrinking while facing their flood of spells, trying to crush them to death.

Many of the vines were burnt to death, but even more vines rushed over to replace them, completely relying on quantity to suppress them.

Lin Yun's expression froze. The three flaming vortexes above his head continuously shot out a large number of Flame Spears, placing them in the gaps between the vines to slow down the constricting of the cage.

After a few minutes, Lin Yun sneered and said, "So it was there!"

With these words, he raised his Draconic Staff and quickly chanted an incantation. Two seconds later, the three flaming vortexes fused into one massive flame vortex. A three-meter-long green Fireball flew out of the Flame Vortex, and around that Fireball, there were nine white balls of fire.

Those nine raging balls of fire frantically revolved around the green Fireball. The air started twisting, and an invisible power could be felt coming from the Fireball.

The roaring flames set off a violent wind. The nine burning white balls of fire simultaneously exploded, and the green Fireball disappeared, leaving a long, green trail behind.

In an instant, that green Fireball hit a part of the vine cage.

A large hole appeared in the jade-colored cage of vines, and everyone could see green flames crazily spreading across the cage. In just moments, all the vines within a dozen meters were burnt to ashes.

Through the huge hole, everyone could see the location of the vines' root. All the vines were spreading from that dark-green root.

Now, there were still several dozen green vines vigorously growing from that dark-green root.

Lin Yun sneered, and his body turned into a ball of fire as he rushed through the hole in the vine cage.

When it noticed that its body was exposed, instead of fleeing, the Mana Devouring Vine pounced at Lin Yun. That root was like a snake, raising its head to pressure Lin Yun with imposing momentum.

And behind Lin Yun, those green vines turned into a huge cover chasing him from behind.

Chapter 646: Worth

Translator: Shiraishi Editor: TheAlliance

Lin Yun ignored it and only uttered a single character. Four flaming vortexes appeared in front of him, and a gold-red lance that was over three meters long drilled out of the Flame Vortex. Gold runes were carved on that lance, and it was doused in golden flames.

Once the spear completely came out of the flame vortex, it looked like a large hand condensed from flames was holding it.

Woosh!

A sharp, cracking sound echoed as the huge hand wielding the golden lance ruthlessly impaled the main body of the Mana Devouring Vine, pinning it to the ground.

The Mana Devouring Vine frantically struggled, twitching like an enormous snake. Its huge body was slamming against the Wisdom Tree's branch, making it shudder.

Lin Yun sneered. He had spent so much effort just to find its main body, nothing more. Those ruthless vines were basically only clones, and as long as the main body of the Mana Devouring Vine wasn't killed, it could possess as many clones as it wanted. Killing it from exhaustion wasn't a feasible plan.

As a large number of vines rushed at him from behind, three Fire God Spears surged out from the other three vortexes in front of Lin Yun.

These three spears easily skewered the Mana Devouring Vine's main body, pinning it even more thoroughly to the ground.

The reddish flame slowly ignited, and like a plague, quickly spread through the body of the Mana Vine, and the other vines growing from the main body all broke at their roots.

Facing that huge danger, the Mana Devouring Vine could only give up on its clones and focus all its power on its main body.

The green vines that had started coiling around Lin Yun instantly withered, softening like dying snakes. After a few seconds, they turned a sickly yellow and transformed into a pile of rotten wood.

Only the main body of the Mana Devouring Vine remained in front of Lin Yun. He waved his Draconic Staff and sprayed flames over a large area, setting it all ablaze.

A miserable sound came from within the raging flames. After a dozen seconds, the golden-red flames sharply increased in intensity and thoroughly covered the Mana Devouring Vine, whose crazy struggle came to an end.

Lin Yun waved his hand and scattered the flames. All that was left of the Mana Devouring Vine was a large lump of charcoal.

The others caught up at this time, and Zeuss couldn't help looking at Lin Yun with shock. Ever since he fused with the Book of Ten Thousand Mantras and advanced to the 9th Rank, Lin Yun's strength had risen too abruptly.

That was a level 38 Mana Devouring Vine, yet he easily got rid of it! Lin Yun had suppressed it all along… All of its attacks were countered by Lin Yun so effectively that it was like getting choked to death.

It could be said that this Mana Devouring Vine wasn't even allowed to show the full extent of its power. It could only sullenly die.

After the direction of its main body was discovered, Lin Yun immediately used corrosive flames to get rid of the cloned vines before nailing down the main body and burning it to death.

But Lin Yun's strength wasn't enough to make Zeuss feel safe… Instead, he felt more and more worried.

In Constance's God Nation, with his strength as a 7th Rank Magic Apprentice, he wouldn't be able to feel safe even if he had a Heaven Mage accompanying him.

As for the possibility of remaining alone on the Intrepid, that idea bothered Zeuss even more. He had experienced the strangeness of the Intrepid already, and there were still those damned ghosts on the ship.

"Merlin, we should hurry up and leave. Mana Devouring Vines usually aren't alone. The fact that there aren't any living creatures around here must be because that Mana Devouring Vine devoured everything. It might not be too good if there are more…"

Zeuss was worried, but he still reined in his temper as he persuaded Lin Yun. The terrifying encounters on the Intrepid made Zeuss look at this mana-absorbing thing with fright, especially since the Mana Devouring Vine looked like the monster and its tentacles. The fear that rose from the depths of his heart couldn't easily be suppressed.

Lin Yun ignored Zeuss' worries and took out several spirit mana crystals and kept them in his hands.

Zeuss' expression turned deathly pale as he let out an alarmed screech.

"Merlin, quick, mana crystals are fatal temptations for Mana Devouring Vines!"

Zeuss didn't even have time to finish his sentence before he felt clear mana fluctuations coming from the grass as a Mana Devouring Vine rushed out from it, crazily charging straight at Lin Yun.

The mana fluctuations on a living creature's body could generally be sensed more than five kilometers away, but pure mana crystals could be sensed at least ten to fifteen kilometers away, making them like lighthouses in the middle of the night. Such a huge temptation could easily make Mana Devouring Vines become frantic.

The fluctuations emitted by five spirit mana crystals were enough to make those Mana Devouring Vines rush at him.

No less than five Mana Devouring Vines were drawn over. This time, these Mana Devouring Vines didn't even bother to hide their main bodies. The dark-green parts charged at him alongside all the jade-like clones.

Xiuban swung Carnage, but discovered that those Mana Devouring Vines were crazy and just ignored his attacks without even bothering to dodge them. They just rushed towards Lin Yun and the mana crystals.

Enderfa controlled the Ten Thousand Spell Wheel to cast a flurry of fire spells, creating a powerful flood of fire. The Spell Wheel's power had greatly increased after the Molten Core was added, reaching an extreme level of power. Yet, the Mana Devouring Vines simply didn't care about his spells.

The Mana Devouring Vines were indeed burnt, including their main bodies, but they still didn't stop their charge towards Lin Yun.

On his side, Lin Yun's movements were quick and simple. One Fire God Spear and a Sea of Fire forcibly turned a Mana Devouring Vine into charcoal.

The fight was over in less than five minutes.

The terrified Zeuss went up to Lin Yun and advised, "Merlin, it's unknown how dangerous this place is. Provoking those Mana Devouring Vines wasn't wise, it's better to be a bit more cautious…"

Zeuss remained tactful, but everyone could see that he disapproved of Lin Yun's actions.

Lin Yun smiled, but he didn't explain himself. He turned to Xiuban and said," Xiuban, go loot these Mana Devouring Vines."

Cleaning up the battlefield was something Xiuban loved to do after working out, especially after taking care of a large group of magic beasts, because he could slip some things into his pocket.

Soon, Xiuban gave five infant-sized, green mana crystals to Lin Yun.

"Xiuban, I see that your skin is itching, isn't it?"

Lin Yun raised an eyebrow and said an incomprehensible word, causing a flame to suddenly appear next to his body.

Xiuban turned deathly pale when he saw that flame, and his legs started shaking. He knelt and took out a dark green mana crystal from his pocket.

"Sir Merlin, I wouldn't dare…"

As Xiuban took out the mana crystal that he'd tried to embezzle, the flame hovering next to Lin Yun turned into Flame Shackles and instantly twisted around Xiuban's body. Soon, Xiuban's screams could be heard across the grassy area, along with the sounds of a beating.

Lin Yun smiled as he got the 6th Mana Devouring Vine's mana crystal. And his mood couldn't be better when he heard Xiuban's screams.

That Draconic Beastman made him call forth Syudos to sort him out. If he wasn't put in order once in a while, Xiuban would act too smugly. Recently, Syudos had been sent into the Bone Plane to clear out the Undead there, and since they had fallen in the Intrepid, Lin Yun had been unable to open the Planar Path to the Bone Plane.

After being stuck in such a terrible plane and being ignored for such a long time, Syudos was obviously in a very bad mood. When he came out and saw that Xiuban had made a mistake, he didn't even wait for Lin Yun's order and went to beat him up.

Lin Yun put away the Mana Devouring Vine's mana crystal. On the other side, Zeuss saw Lin Yun looking as if he had picked up an incredible treasure and was disapproving.

Especially beating Xiuban up for that… He really felt that it wasn't worth it.

"Although a level 38 mana crystal is precious, taking so many risks for it isn't worth it."

Lin Yun smiled and casually said, "This isn't an ordinary level 38 mana crystal. In terms of worth, even if it can't compare to a level 40 mana crystal, it's not too far behind…"

Zeuss was shocked… He couldn't believe it. He wasn't a country bumpkin. Although the mana crystals of Mana Devouring Vines were a bit precious, it was only because there weren't many plant-type magic beasts. A level 38 mana crystal from one of them would at most be a bit better than ordinary level 38 mana crystal, but how could it be comparable to level 40 mana crystals?

When it came to worth, the most inferior level 39 mana crystal should be a lot better than this level 38 Mana Devouring Vine's mana crystal.

Lin Yun only threw him a contemptuous look and didn't even felt like explaining.

It wasn't that Zeuss was a country bumpkin, but their knowledge wasn't on the same level. No matter how extensive Zeuss' knowledge was, it was absolutely impossible for him to know what happened twenty-three centuries later.

The mana crystals of Mana Devouring Vines were nothing special… This was the consensus of this era.

But two thousand and three hundred years later, an Archmage called Orson would discover the secret of these mana crystals during an experiment.

To be fair, the mana condensed with a Mana Devouring Vine's mana crystal wasn't that formidable. In fact, it was even worse than a mana crystal on the same level. It was only slightly more precious because it was the mana crystal of a plant-type magic beast, and nothing more.

Naturally, that was only the case before level 40.

The mana crystal of the Mana Devouring Vine, one of the few plants that could reach level 40, would have overwhelming changes after it advanced to level 40. Not only would the Mana Devouring Vine transform, but its mana crystal would also mutate and become completely different from a typical level 40 mana crystal. At that point, it could even be said that they were two different species.

After that, the Mana Devouring Vine's magic crystal could be described as the best mana vessel. The mana it could store would be comparable to the mana reserves of a Heaven Mage.

After all, ordinary mana crystals didn't have such vast storage capacity. Most mana crystals could only be considered one-time-use consumables, and very few of them with pure mana could store a tiny bit of mana.

Mana crystals that could store mana above their own level were very rare at the peak of the Magic Era, not to mention that the mana was Heaven Rank level!

And this wasn't even the biggest advantage of the Mana Devouring Vine… The greatest advantage was its extremely pure mana!

Regardless of the mana origin, it would quickly be purified as long as it was poured into the Mana Devouring Vine's mana crystal.

This extremely pure mana could be used by any mage without worrying about side effects. Sometimes, it might be even more useful than their own mana.

Of course, these special characteristics only applied to Mana Devouring Vines that were level 40 or higher.

Below level 40, they were only ordinary magic beasts.

Mana Devouring Vines were famous for being troublesome. As long as the main body was kept hidden, the clones could keep haunting people like ghosts. These clones would never disappear as long as they had enough mana. Even magic beasts with more power could be toyed to death by these fierce predators.

Because of this, the Heaven Rank Mana Devouring Vine could display this property to its pinnacle. Most of the time, Heaven Rank Mana Devouring Vines would never reveal the main body, just keeping it hidden in the ground, and powerful Heaven Mages wouldn't have any way to kill that part hidden in the depths of the earth while being besieged by countless clones.

Thus, from the previous eras till twenty-three centuries forward, no one had discovered the terrifying properties of the Mana Devouring Vines' mana crystals.

Up until Orson discovered a way to artificially cultivate a Mana Devouring Vine's mana crystal in an alchemical experiment and then trained it to level 40!

Making the Mana Devouring Vine's mana crystal undergo a mutation was the safest and quickest way to obtain a Heaven Rank Mana Devouring Vine's mana crystal!

In those days, Orson wasn't very powerful, and he didn't have that great of a background. He had remained at the 8th Rank of the Archmage realm for a long time, unable to advance any further, and couldn't even afford some materials that he needed. He was a very stifled Archmage.

With no hope to attack the Heaven Rank, his position could be considered stagnant, and there was no hope of getting any magic support.

This was the case up until Orson accidentally found that Mana Devouring Vines' mana crystals could be artificially bred. He spent a large amount of effort and energy and managed to breed two Heaven Rank Mana Devouring Vine mana crystals. He relied on them and advanced to the Heaven Rank, causing a sensation in Noscent.

Even the greatest Heaven Mages couldn't help being tempted. Those Heaven Rank mana crystals were perfect mana storage vessels that could double their pool of mana.

Orson gained many resources by relying on his method to artificially breed these mana crystals, and once he became a 9th Rank Heaven Mage, Orson publicly revealed this secret.

That method was also recorded in the decaying library, and it was considered an accomplishment that changed Noscent.

Lin Yun had immediately thought of this when he saw the Mana Devouring Vines, and level 38 was simply perfect!

Level 39 would be too troublesome, while level 38 was just enough to save on the time and effort to breed it.

Naturally, he wasn't planning on using the mana crystals as mana vessels, since he already had the Alchemic Mana Whirlpool.

The Alchemic Mana Whirlpools were really too handy. Just one would double his mana. Unfortunately, only a few of these things were finished, and the research was discontinued.

Recently, Lin Yun felt that the ability of the Alchemic Mana Whirlpools wasn't enough. They might reach their limit at the Archmage realm, and at the power of ordinary Archmages.

His Magic Conducting Rune was the Magic Array, so his mana pool far exceeded those of ordinary mages. At the Archmage realm, the Alchemic Mana Whirlpools would no longer be able to have the effect of tripling one's mana.

But now that he had the Mana Devouring Vine's mana crystals, he would first breed them to reach the Heaven Rank, and would then use them to transform the Alchemic Mana Whirlpools, making them even more powerful.

Unfortunately, the breeding couldn't be done overnight. It would take a lot more time, so he could only put it away for now.

If he didn't have such an important use for them, Lin Yun wouldn't have cared so much about Xiuban taking a spirit mana crystal.

Seeing Lin Yun not giving an explanation and only giving him such a look, Zeuss forced a smile and said, "Merlin, we should leave this place quickly. This place is too rich in mana, and the commotion just now might draw other things over.

Too rich in mana…

Lin Yun suddenly froze. He had been so happy to see Mana Devouring Vines that he had completely overlooked everything else.

Enderfa floated over and gave Lin Yun an odd look as he commented, "Merlin, don't you feel that this is too strange?"

Lin Yun's expression sank… It was far more than strange, it was fishy!

Mana Devouring Vines had extremely harsh requirements for growth. Not only did they need a place rich in mana, but they also needed the mana to be life-attributed.

Many plant magic beasts had this requirement; they wouldn't be able to survive without life-attributed mana. This was also why many magic plants couldn't be artificially bred. The density of mana could be guaranteed, but the life-attributed mana couldn't be guaranteed.

Because of this, a bit over a hundred years after Orson discovered the secret of the Mana Devouring Vines, it was hardly possible to find any of these vines under the Heaven Rank in the boundless planes.

Because it was practically impossible to cultivate the Mana Devouring Vines artificially, they could only grow in some special environments in the wild.

Moreover, Constance had already died, so according to common sense, his God Nation should have already withered away.

It was unusual that his God Nation didn't wither. It could only be attributed to the fact that Constance was extremely powerful during his life. But the mana in there was still very rich, which was very strange.

But there was no need to doubt, as this place's mana was lacking in life attribute.

This shortcoming had no influence on most lifeforms, and even some plants, but it was unsuitable for the growth of Mana Devouring Vines.

Yet there were so many Mana Devouring Vines here! They met six at once just now, so what about the other areas? This was unreasonable.

There was only one explanation: the God Nation wasn't withering, and Constance wasn't really dead…

Lin Yun was startled as he thought of this, but he then shook his head.

This made no sense.

With a solemn expression on his face, Lin Yun responded, "I find it strange, but I don't know why that's the case… Let's be a bit more careful…"

At this time, Lin Yun felt that there were too many details not written in those records, and there was no way to have a complete understanding of the God Nation by relying on them.

Suddenly, Lin Yun turned to look at Zeuss. "Sir Seuss, how much does your Watson Family understand about this God Nation?"

Zeuss was quite honest about it. He knew that he only had the strength of a Magic Apprentice and couldn't even be considered cannon fodder here, so he had to rely on Lin Yun for everything.

"Our Watson Family actually doesn't know too much about it. I have read a book in the Ancestral Land's treasury which had some information in it about the Wisdom God and his God Nation.

"It was written that the Wisdom God buried himself atop the Wisdom Tree, waiting thousands upon thousands of years to be revived. This was where the origin of all wisdom was, as well as the end of all wisdom.

"But that book was old and dilapidated. There were many parts that were illegible, and besides that, I also discovered the way to open the Wisdom God's God Nation. It was written that only those with the bloodline of the Wisdom God could open the God Nation!

"Thus, our Family made preparations for countless years until we found a woman with the bloodline of the Wisdom God. We arranged for Arthus' father to marry that woman and she gave birth to Arthus.

"Our Family spent a lot of effort to groom Arthus, and we managed to nurture him into a Sword Saint after great difficulties, but who would have thought that he would fall in the Intrepid? Aaah…"

Zeuss was pained as he said those words. The Watson Family had planned and prepared for who knows how many years, and just as they were about to reap the fruits of their efforts, Arthus died. This was such a huge blow.

Lin Yun looked at Zeuss and could see that he hadn't tricked him.

Moreover, a lot of the information matched his own. But there was a puzzling part… Constance was waiting to be revived? This was a bit ridiculous, wasn't it?

Many of the books stored in the decaying library explicitly recorded that only Constance's bones remained at the top of the Wisdom Tree. The rest wasn't at the peak.

Chapter 648: Lucky

Translator: Shiraishi Editor: TheAlliance

For a God to resurrect, not only would they need enough bones, but having most of the God's body was indispensable, especially for something as grand as a resurrection. If an important organ was missing, then the resurrection would be a joke.

And even if Lin Yun had known earlier, he wouldn't have cared where Constance's body was. He only needed Constance's skull.

Constance's skull was the last piece of the puzzle he needed before he could advance to the Archmage realm!

That was the most perfect set up he could think of. As long as he fused with Constance's skull, he would be able to immediately advance to the Archmage realm, and he would have a smooth path through the entirety of the Archmage realm.

Moreover, Lin Yun knew that Constance hadn't resurrected, because Constance's God Nation had been forcibly opened during the peak of the Magic Era.

During Noscent's peak of the Magic Era, not only would a God Nation be forcibly opened when discovered, but a group of mages would also search every meter of that God Nation and leave nothing behind, just like locusts.

Some books even had records of disdainful matters.

In those days, there were mages that were ready to do anything for a leaf of the Wisdom Tree.

Anything valuable here had been taken away, and if it hadn't been for the Wisdom Tree being too huge, those formidable mages might have even found a way to carry the Wisdom Tree out.

Unfortunately, there was no news of the Wisdom God's skull during that chaos. No one ever found Constance's skull.

The skull known as the origin of all wisdom… No matter how powerful their spells were, they couldn't locate it.

Because of this missing skull, several first-rate Mage Towers that had been fighting for a few dozen years became nemeses after the ceasefire.

At that time, someone was born.

That person was called Kaiser, and he wasn't very talented at birth.

He was born into an ordinary family, and although he was very assiduous, he didn't have many opportunities.

Because of a mistake, he drank a kind of mana dissipating potion as a Magic Apprentice and fell from being a 9th Rank Magic Apprentice to the 1st Rank.

His pace was awfully slow as a Mage because he didn't have a good Meditation Law Set, and he was barely able to advance to the Great Mage realm in ten years. This rate of progress caused him to be considered a good-for-nothing among losers during the peak of the Magic Era.

As a Great Mage, he received a serious injury which left a sequela, and that sequela made him waste 20 years in the Great Mage realm.

After breaking through to the High Mage realm, he originally thought that the hard times were over and that he could finally have a new beginning, but he lost a huge amount of vitality while exploring some ruins.

Kaiser's magic path was filled with hardships, and when his life was reaching its end, he advanced to the Archmage realm.

But there was no meaning to it, as he had lost too much vitality. Kaiser was an aged man at this point. He already had a foot in the grave.

It took him a hundred years to advance to the Archmage realm. Anyone in that era would feel that his talent wasn't great.

Because that era was filled with Archmages. When a random passerby on a street might be an Archmage, someone like Kaiser was naturally unremarkable.

In his last moments, Kaiser, who had remained hopeful and never gave up, finally resigned to his fate. He decided to undergo his final adventure.

The place he would explore was Constance's God Realm, which had been scoured clean already.

Kaiser had no intention of surviving, and he had planned to rest eternally in Constance's God Realm.

But he had never expected to find a skull in a crack of the Wisdom Tree.

This was the skull of Wisdom God Constance!

After fusing with Constance's skull, Kaiser's fate finally changed.

It only took him seven days to break through to the 2nd Rank of the Archmage realm. After a month, he reached the 3rd Rank, and within five years, he advanced to the 5th Rank. Twenty years later, he had become a 9th Rank Archmage.

Ever since Kaiser was born, he'd never had a single title, but from that point on, he had a special description: Unrivalled under the Heaven Rank!

Once Kaiser advanced to the Heaven Rank, things got out of hand and he charged his way into becoming the most dazzling mage of that era, becoming an existence comparable to Sandro and Charles the Conqueror.

After Kaiser became Noscent's most powerful mage, he ruled Noscent for a full millennium. Then, Kaiser suddenly disappeared from the endless planes, and no one could find him anymore.

Lin Yun meticulously researched that person's achievements. Initially, he'd thought that it was exaggerated rubbish that people had made up.

But eventually, he confirmed it through many other books before sighing.

That guy had spent all his luck on one thing, picking up Constance's skull.

Because of this, Kaiser became known as the luckiest guy in Noscent's history.

When recalling it, Lin Yun felt sorry for him. The first half of Kaiser's life had been too miserable. He hadn't gotten any good fortune during that time.

His foundation was frighteningly inferior, with a 3rd-rate Magic Conducting Rune and a Meditation Law Set that couldn't even qualify as 3rd-rate. He did get Constance's skull, but that was after establishing his foundation.

This was undoubtedly very regrettable.

But even so, Kaiser still had huge achievements in Noscent thanks to Constance's skull.

Had it not been for Kaiser's foundation being so poor, his achievements wouldn't have stopped at just ruling Noscent for a millennium.

And this was the biggest reason that Lin Yun was searching for Constance's skull, and it was also why he was suppressing his strength, making sure he didn't break through. He had to wait until he fused with Constance's skull to advance to the Archmage realm.

Advancing to the Archmage realm would mean that his foundation was established!

As long as he didn't advance, everything he did would be laid as part of his foundation. With Constance's skull, his foundation would reach an unprecedentedly frightening stage.

The most formidable Magic Conducting Rune from the birth of Noscent to its destruction, the Magic Array.

Unprecedented Tri-Core Meditation Law Sets, two of which possessed 16 formulas!

After all, in Noscent's world, even in the end, there was only one 16-formula Meditation Law Set!

What kind of effect this kind of formidable, unprecedented, and unmatched foundation would have when coupled with Constance's skull? Lin Yun didn't dare to think about it.

The only thing he could think about right now was how to reach the peak of the Wisdom Tree to get Constance's skull.

The group followed the branch and kept climbing up, but the Wisdom Tree branch was too large. It was like a continent erected vertically, so they had to keep using their mana to climb up while still being alert to all the dangers that could appear.

…

The Wisdom Tree was too large… It took them half a month to reach the treetop, and that was because the Intrepid had crashed in a very high location to begin with.

After reaching the treetop, innumerable leaves spread in front of them, and each leaf was several hundred meters to a kilometer in size. Some bigger leaves were even a few kilometers long.

Many plants were growing on those leaves as if they were pieces of land.

The higher they got, the lusher the leaves were. Layers upon layers of leaves were bunched together, forming a continent that spread across several dozen kilometers.

They couldn't cut the leaves as they moved up, so they could only look for the cracks between the leaves.

…

After another half a month, they raised their heads and still saw countless leaves layered into a continent, and they couldn't even see the treetop.

They managed to find a crack with difficulty and they arrived on a leaf continent stretching for over two hundred kilometers.

An ink-colored jungle spread before them. Every tree was a dozen meters tall, and their lush leaves covered the jungle in darkness. Only some faintly fluorescent vegetation could be seen emitting weak radiance inside the jungle.

Lin Yun cast ten Mage Eyes with a wave of his hand and sent them into the jungle. Who knew what awaited them in there?

The Mage Eyes made a trip inside but didn't find anything special. However, Lin Yun still cautiously summoned ten Flame Elementals, using the light from the flames to illuminate the surroundings while having them act as cannon fodder, probing for hidden dangers that the Mage Eyes couldn't discover.

After confirming that there was nothing special, Lin Yun led everyone into the jungle. On the edge of the jungle, Lin Yun used Eagle Sight to increase his range of vision. After walking several kilometers, they found a crack leading to the continent above them.

The silent jungle made them very uncomfortable. Every time they were in a strangely silent environment, without exception, they would meet unknown danger.

Lin Yun controlled the Flame Elementals to move forward while also having the Mage Eyes spread out to cover everything within a hundred meters.

After walking for a dozen minutes, Lin Yun suddenly stopped and hurriedly chanted an incantation.

A river appeared out of nowhere from his body before forming a bowl that hid everybody within.

Then, a large area lit up in front of them, as if it was illuminated by fireflies. In an instant, everyone could see a wave of spells that contained at least four hundred to five hundred spells.

Wind Blades, Fireballs, Ice Spikes, Earth Spikes…

All these spells were mixed in the air, whistling over and arriving in front of Lin Yun's group in an instant. These several hundred spells collided with the frantically revolving river, causing mana fluctuations to spread through the forest like a tide.

Chapter 649: Dark Elves

Translator: Shiraishi Editor: TheAlliance

Lin Yun's expression changed as he realized that these spells that seemed to be of lower tiers weren't actually weak; each one had the power of a 3rd Tier or 4th Tier spell.

This 7th Tier water spell, Whirlpool, was the best defense against a large number of Low Tier spells, yet it couldn't hold on.

Lin Yun increased his mana output and finally withstood the first wave of spells.

The moment it stopped, Lin Yun led everyone to move away from that spot.

Sure enough, the next moment, they saw another seven hundred to eight hundred spells surging like a flood and washing away the trees of the jungle, erasing a huge swathe that covered several hundred meters.

Lin Yun raised his Draconic Staff and summoned a large-scale Meteor Shower. A large number of flaming spheres fell from the sky, blanketing a wide area.

Many trees were set ablaze, and the group could see numerous shadows flashing through the trees. These shadows were extremely flexible and they kept jumping from tree to tree.

And even more rays of magic shone in the forest.

Enderfa's eyes opened wide as he angrily controlled the Ten Thousand Spell Wheel to blast out 5th Tier and 6th Tier spells regardless of their mana consumption.

Enderfa's face was deformed from anger due to that sneak attack.

And with the puppet continuously releasing its own waves of spells, their torrent of spells engulfed everything in its way without any restriction.

At this time, everyone saw what those shadows were.

Pale skin, handsome appearances, delicate magic patterns on their skins, and the clearest characteristic, pointed ears.

After a quick glance, Lin Yun exclaimed, "Dark Elves!"

How could there be Dark Elves there? Lin Yun couldn't help feeling shocked.

In the earliest legends, Dark Elves were the people of the Wisdom God. They had terrifying magical talent, the entire race being very proficient with it… They were innate mages.

They could master any spell easily, and there was no such thing as difficulty for them when it came to magic.

Their power came from the magic patterns on their bodies. Every time they learnt a spell, the corresponding magic pattern would appear on their bodies, and when casting, they only needed to use these magic patterns.

This kind of formidable talent made countless races envious, yet few people wished to actually become Dark Elves… because the Dark Elves were called the cursed race, as their powerful talent made them crazily chase mana.

Mana was a poison, but also an antidote. It was like a drug that they couldn't wean themselves from.

Without mana, Dark Elves were like fish out of water, unable to breathe and unable to handle the pain, before ultimately dying from organ failure.

Because of this, in the earliest legends, they devoted themselves to become the Wisdom God's subordinates. It wasn't just to look for Constance's protection… It was mostly for Constance's mana.

But it was later said that during the God Wars, the Dark Elves betrayed the Wisdom God for unknown reasons, and the entire race was cursed by Constance.

Constance's curse completely erupted by the time of the Nesser Dynasty, and the Dark Elves' addiction worsened to the point of madness. Ultimately, many Dark Elves became crazy because of that addiction.

These Dark Elves would pursue mana at any and all costs. This created the first internal issues among the elves, and also the first internal issues of the Nesser Dynasty.

Multitudes of lives faded, and countless mournful events took place. In the end, the Pure-blood Elves and the Chromatic Dragons joined hands and suppressed this Dark Elven upheaval.

Ultimately, the Dark Elven sub-race was banished to an unknown plane. No one knew where, but from that point on, no trace of Dark Elves could be seen in Noscent.

The appearance of that group of Dark Elves truly startled Lin Yun. It was the worst place to encounter Dark Elves.

Could it be that the Chromatic Dragons and the Pure-blood Elves banished the Dark Elves to Constance's God Nation?

That group of natural mages was densely packed, with seven or eight hundred of them gathered together.

Moreover, the group of Dark Elves was already making use of their natural advantage to surround them.

Even Lin Yun couldn't help sweating after being surrounded by that many mages.

They weren't eight hundred of the Undead, but rather, eight hundred people of a race that excelled at casting!

It could be seen from what happened earlier that this was a Dark Elven Legion.

An army of at least eight hundred Dark Elves even turned Enderfa's expression serious.

With regards to mages, and especially mage legions, after a certain amount, the quantity would lead to a qualitative change!

Light rose in the forest as slews of spells flew from all directions. A few hundred spells fell, and although they weren't High Tier Spells, in the hands of the Dark Elves, the power of the spells had clearly increased.

In a split second, Lin Yun fell into a passive situation.

The Dark Elves were using the cover of darkness to silently surround them. And after being surrounded, the ten Flame Elementals that Lin Yun had cast as cannon fodder were instantly killed by that group of Dark Elves.

Lin Yun noticed that the spells coming from each of the four directions were different… Each group only released one type of magic.

In the back, two to three hundred Dark Elves were casting fire spells like Fire Dragons, Fireblades, Fireballs…

All of these fire spells converged together, quickly raising the fire elements in the back. These fire spells collided and tangled with each other, forming a wave of fire that crashed down at them.

To their left and to their right, the Dark Elves were casting wind and ice magic, respectively. In that instant, gales wreaked havoc as the fierce winds could be seen with the naked eye, snapping the trees in their way, turning it into a storm filled with fragments of wood.

At the same time, the ice spells were rushing forth from the right. Ice Spikes and Snowblades swirled around, turning into a slowly rotating tornado of ice. Those ice spells were flickering with a metallic luster, and nothing could stop them. When touched by the tornado, the trees would be covered by frost before shattering into countless ice fragments.

The front was actually the most dangerous side because the Dark Elves there were using Dark Magic. Dark Arrows, Corrosive Spheres, Dark Impact…

As all these spells converged, the area ahead of them was quickly engulfed by darkness.

The originally lush vegetation was corroded by the power of darkness and withered away.

Enderfa angrily cursed, "These damned Dark Elves, so annoying!"

Lin Yun didn't say anything, and his expression wasn't very good. Anyone that was attacked by a Dark Elf Legion certainly wouldn't be very cheerful, especially if it happened in Constance's God Nation.

But this time, whether it was Lin Yun or Enderfa, when facing this fierce onslaught, they could only use defensive spells with low mana consumption.

Lin Yun raised his Draconic Staff and uttered three profound words. With a wave of his hand, two muffled sounds echoed, and two Askrim Gates condensed out of the air and fell in front of everyone.

Behind those, Reina cast a dozen Ice Walls that were a bit stronger than ordinary ones. The dozen Ice Walls formed a large cube of ice, isolating everyone from the south.

On the left, the puppet quickly cast many instant spells, setting up countless Ice Shields and Fire Shields. It didn't go through the effort of controlling them. It only piled these defensive shields into a huge protective barrier.

And on the right side, Enderfa, who seemed to have some sort of grudge against the Dark Elves, was fuming as he controlled the Ten Thousand Spell Wheel. Six flaming vortexes appeared on the right side, and a cascade of flames flew out of these vortexes, forming a sea of flames.

Less than two seconds later, a huge collision unfolded.

The dark spells impacted the Askrim Gates, making them shudder. The outermost Askrim Gate was already covered in cracks. On the left side, countless small shields kept being shattered while the puppet recast them continuously. On the right, flames and ice collided, causing continuous explosions. Ice spells exploded one after another in that sea of fire. And behind them, eight of Reina's dozen Ice Walls were melted.

Lin Yun summoned a new Askrim Gate while thinking about how to counterattack. The appearance of all these Dark Elves had been totally unexpected.

But, seeing how these Dark Elves seemed to be very familiar with this place gave Lin Yun some other idea.

When they saw that Lin Yun's group was being suppressed, the surrounding Dark Elves began walking out from the shadows, shrinking the encirclement.

At this time, Lin Yun's group could clearly see the Dark Elves.

Most of these Dark Elves were women, which was characteristic of the Elven race, and they were around level 30, around the power of late High Mages and early Archmage ranks.

Each time they cast, magic patterns would shine on their bodies, and every magic pattern would result in a spell being instant-cast successfully.

Chapter 650: Magic Pattern

Translator: Shiraishi Editor: TheAlliance

After each successful cast, the magic pattern would darken visibly, and another one would light up instead.

This was the Dark Elves' casting cooldown. Only after the cooldown was over could the magic patterns could be used again.

Only by deepening their understanding of the spells could they reduce that cooldown. And some Low Tier Spells hardly had any cooldown.

This was like how humans normally needed time to cast spells but could instant-cast them after gaining a sufficient understanding of them. They could eventually even instant-cast dozens of Low Tier Spells at once.

Dark Elves inherently didn't need any time to cast their spells because they were blessed with magic patterns, allowing them to learn any spells. Some Low Tier Spells could even be cast continuously. If they had enough mana, they could even cast for half an hour without stopping, and by relying on Low Tier Spells, they could achieve what others could only do with High Tier Spells.

Especially since as their understanding of spells deepened, not only would their cooldown decrease, but the spells would also become more and more powerful. Once the understanding of a spell reached its limits, the magic pattern would turn into an ultimate magic pattern and the spell would become an Ultimate Spell.

Although most of the spells released by the Dark Elves had been Low Tier Spells, a majority of them had either reached the level of Ultimate Spells or were close to it. A 1st Rank Wind Blade in the hands of these Dark Elves almost had the power of a 3rd Rank Spell!

And casting Wind Blades was effortless for those Dark Elves. In one second, they could cast eight Wind Blades, each of which was a rank stronger, while some were comparable to an Ultimate Spell!

This was also why Enderfa and Lin Yun's expressions weren't good after finding out that their enemies were Dark Elves.

The fighting power of Dark Elves wasn't based on ranks, but rather on their magic patterns. As long as a few Dark Elves had mastered 6th Tier Spells and had turned them into ultimate magic patterns, they would be in huge trouble.

Ultimate magic patterns were the greatest assets of Dark Elves.

Lin Yun's Sage Chapter had only stored 4th Tier Spells until now while promoting them to the 6th Rank by turning them into Ultimate Spells. Since he obtained the Sage Chapter, the Ultimate Spells had been a great help to Lin Yun, but the Sage Chapter couldn't keep up with his rapid increase in power.

Thus, the Sage Chapter could only remain shelved for the time being.

It could be said that the Dark Elves had their own weakened version of the Sage Chapter's ability. Every spell cast through the magic pattern was a bit more powerful than ordinary spells, and furthermore, every spell had the possibility of being strengthened to its limit.

In the decaying library, Lin Yun had once seen some notes… At the peak of Noscent while conquering many planes, the Cloud Tower once discovered a Dark Elven settlement in a new plane.

This was a settlement of only a few hundred Dark Elves, and the most powerful one was at most comparable to a 9th Rank Archmage. Only a dozen of them were at the Archmage realm.

In that era, Archmages were as common as dogs. It was an era filled with ordinary Heaven Mages. Besides being surprising, the Cloud Tower didn't feel that they were very important.

Because their team was led by a 5th Rank Heaven Mage, two 3rd Rank Heaven Mages and over thirty 9th Rank Archmages that were just a step away from the Heaven realm.

This kind of formidable force made them plan without scruples at the start, discussing whether they should catch a few Dark Elves to bring back for study, totally unafraid of the Dark Elves' resistance.

But reality was a huge slap to their face, making the Cloud Tower suffer their most depressing defeat.

A 5th Rank Heaven Mage, two 3rd Rank Heaven Mages, and a few dozen 9th Rank Archmages died.

A Dark Elf comparable to a 9th Rank Archmage dealt with them all with one move…

Later, the infuriated Cloud Tower dispatched top-notch Heaven Mages to discover what had happened.

That 9th Rank Archmage Dark Elf was the greatest genius in the Dark Elven history. Her magic comprehension had already exceeded the innate gift of the Dark Elves and displayed unfathomable power when coupled with that innate gift.

As a 9th Rank Archmage, she had reached incredible levels, comprehending an 8th Tier Spell to its limits and forming an ultimate magic pattern for it.

Normally, the strongest spell that Archmages could successfully cast were 8th Tier Spells but would need preparation to cast such a spell.

It would require a long and tedious incantation that might include hand gestures or staff movements… Only then could they successfully cast an 8th Tier Spell.

In a battle against an evenly matched opponent, no Archmage would have the leisure to cast an 8th Tier Spell. In battle, chanting a 7th Tier Spell was already the limit.

That was why Archmages usually used 5th or 6th Tier Spells in battle, or even lesser spells, relying on quantity or technique to win.

It could even be said that all mages would typically use Low Tier Spells that could be used flexibly when in actual combat. Spells at least one tier lower were usually the best choices.

It was the same for Lin Yun. He would rarely use the spells of the highest tier that he could cast when fighting. Instead, he used tactics and spells that he had perfect control over to achieve victory.

Because of this, there had never been a mage in Noscent that could comprehend the most powerful spell he could use to its fullest.

There wasn't that much time and opportunity…

At the High Mage realm, it was impossible to comprehend a powerful 6th Tier Spell to its limits, and as an Archmage, it was impossible to comprehend an 8th Tier Spell to its limits.

This was even true for Lin Yun. When he was a High Mage, he had already comprehended a few 1st and 2nd Tier Spells to their limits. This was already quite successful and could be rated as an outstanding achievement.

Thus, after the 9th Rank Archmage Dark Elf instant-cast an 8th Rank Spell, and an Ultimate Spell at that…

Well, there was nothing after that…

The 8th Rank Spell, Devouring Darkness, displayed power comparable to a 10th Tier Spell. The three Heaven Mages and dozens of Archmages couldn't even resist, and their souls were destroyed.

One-hit kill!

Lin Yun hadn't been convinced after reading that part, up until he read an unclear note left behind by a powerhouse of the Cloud Tower.

The power of Ultimate Spells was something Lin Yun had been pursuing at the End of the Magic Era. In the era where they had to brave dangers just to squeeze mana from the Netherstorm through meditation, this kind of ability could be rated as the most powerful one!

Lin Yun once believed that the Dark Elves disappearing was because their gift was too formidable and incurred the jealousy of others.

Thus, Lin Yun was startled when he noticed that the attackers were Dark Elves and that their 1st and 2nd Tier Spells were almost comparable to Ultimate Spells.

If there was an Archmage amidst these Dark Elves that comprehended a 7th Rank or 8th Rank Spell, then their group could only wait for certain death.

With the talent of these Dark Elves, the possibility of such an outrageous thing wasn't small.

What if that happened?

Thus, when Lin Yun recognized the Dark Elves, he was thinking of having a proper chat and trying to avoid making a mortal enemy out of them if at all possible.

Moreover, having a good relationship with the aboriginals of this God Nation would be good. It would be helpful when looking for Constance's skull, because the Wisdom Tree was too huge. Who knew how long they would take to reach the top and what unknown dangers they would encounter?

From seeing these Dark Elves, even the angry Enderfa was silenced from dread. He clearly understood that if there was a ruthless Dark Elf in the group, they would be done for.

Lin Yun had been observing the Dark Elves ever since they appeared, and the outcome of his observation made him secretly sigh in relief.

Coupled with the analysis from his Magic Array, he was certain that while most of these Dark Elves had Ultimate Spells, the majority were only 1st and 2nd Tier Spells. Only a small minority had magic patterns for 3rd Tier Spells.

Lin Yun could only defend throughout that suppression. He didn't plan on counter-attacking right away because he could see that these Dark Elves weren't planning on killing them, at least not immediately.

Sure enough, a large group of Dark Elves kept moving forward and stopped fifty meters from Lin Yun, and although they didn't stop releasing spells, two Dark Elves that were clearly different came forward.

One of them was a slender male that was almost two meters tall, looking quite handsome. There were two flame magic patterns on his face and he was wearing four delicate wooden stud earrings on his ears.

These four earrings represented the fact that he possessed a 4th Tier Ultimate Spell.

The other one was a woman about 170 centimeters tall. She had a green magic pattern on her forehead that made it look like she was wearing a crown, and she was wearing five wooden stud earrings. This Dark Elven lady had an Ultimate Spell of the 5th Rank!

Chapter 651: Conflict

Translator: Shiraishi Editor: TheAlliance

These two were clearly wearing more refined clothes than the other Dark Elves, so they were likely leaders.

Sure enough, the handsome male Dark Elf walked over with a solemn face, his eyes locked onto Lin Yun's group as if they were a group of prey struggling on their deathbeds.

"Outsiders, give up immediately and throw away your weapons. I'll send someone to seal your mana." The Dark Elf's manner of speech made it sound like a royal command, and his icy words were extremely harsh. "I'll count to three! Don't blame us for being ruthless if you haven't surrendered by then!" the male Dark Elf shouted again, angered by the fact that Lin Yun and the others were still resisting.

As for Lin Yun, he secretly sighed in relief when he saw these two Dark Elves, especially when he saw their earrings. He understood that he had just been scaring himself. How could a monstrous Dark Elf from the legends appear so easily?

He used his Magic Array to analyze the aura of these two strongest Dark Elves and found that they were both at level 37, close to level 38. The strongest one should be that Dark Elven woman with a 5th Tier Ultimate Spell.

Apart from their numbers, that group of Dark Elves wasn't undefeatable.

Lin Yun had been holding back so far, but since the other side didn't have anyone overwhelmingly powerful, why should he talk? He would naturally beat them up first and talk later. Hearing that Dark Elf's tone, he knew that if he wanted to stop them, glib talk was out of the question.

Without equal status or stronger power, they wouldn't give him the right to talk. Lin Yun understood the character of these people.

Lin Yun's side started increasing the efforts they made in counter-attacking, especially the fuming Enderfa. Lin Yun really didn't know what kind of grudge he had against Dark Elves, but after these two Dark Elves appeared and spoke their bit, he immediately launched a fierce counterattack.

"Damn, two kids barely over a hundred years old dare to try scaring the great Enderfa! This is the path to your doom!" Enderfa's three faces simultaneously cursed.

Just like Lin Yun, he knew of these Dark Elves' terrifying innate gifts.

"Fools! Capture them!"

The male Dark Elf angrily shouted. He was about to make a move when the female Dark Elf pulled him back. "Jeremy, don't be so impulsive…"

Jeremy's expression relaxed, but he insisted, "Elsa, these outsiders definitely harbor malicious intentions! We have to give them a fright first, or who knows what they might do?"

Elsa shook her head and glanced at Lin Yun and the others before saying with a clear voice, "Outsiders, you had better not resist. There is no use! If you stop resisting, I'll lead you to our Elder Council so that our Elders can decide how to take care of you. But rest assured, as long as we ascertain that you have no malice towards our community, I'll use my status as a Dark Elven Princess to guarantee that you'll at most be expelled from here, and your lives won't be harmed."

Jeremy's mouth twitched, but he didn't say anything. He was the son of a Great Elder and was jointly managing this Legion with Elsa. Although he felt that Elsa was too naive, he didn't stop her.

But Elsa's kindness was bound to be wasted. Lin Yun, the sole survivor of the last days of Noscent, knew one truth. Without equal strength, the weaker side had no right to speak, especially with this group of arrogant Dark Elves. Lin Yun never had the habit of putting his life in the hands of others…

Lin Yun didn't answer… Instead, he just used actions to express his opinion. His Draconic Staff was raised high, and bright lights radiated from its peak.

A huge, flaming meteor fell down from the sky.

The explosion caused a shockwave that spread for a few dozen meters, and even though those Dark Elves were guarding against it, several of them still were seriously injured.

Enderfa controlled the Ten Thousand Spell Wheel and shot out spells from all four elements that turned into a hybrid deluge of magic that washed over the surrounding Dark Elves. The mass of spells was extremely unstable, as it was formed from countless spells of opposing elements. This caused them to keep colliding and exploding, which made them brim with chaotic power.

"Outsiders, you are courting death!" Jeremy shouted in rage. A magic pattern on his cheek shined, and a gold-red spear appeared out of nowhere, quickly piercing down towards Lin Yun.

Lin Yun looked at that spear and raised his hand to cast six ordinary Flame Spears, sending them all out in succession. Each of the Flame Spears hit the Fire God Spear's weak point.

The sextuple attack turned the Fire God Spear into a ball of fire a dozen meters away from Lin Yun.

Jeremy was a bit amazed, but he was even more furious. Just then, he saw a Fire God Spear come out of the explosion and noticed that a Flaming Hand was holding the back of the Fire God Spear.

This Fire God Spear flew back at him even faster than the one he had shot out. He wanted to stop it using the same idea as Lin Yun by casting eight instant-spells, but none of them hit the Fire God Spear… The Flaming Hand was adjusting the path of the Fire God Spear in midair and reinforcing its velocity!

One second passed…

And it was already too late! As the Fire God Spear covered the remaining distance, the Flaming Hand exerted itself and tossed the spear out. A red light flashed and instantly arrived in front of Jeremy's body before he could react.

The necklace he was carrying on his neck suddenly shone, and in a split second, Jeremy appeared five meters away, while the Fire God Spear pierced the spot he had just been at.

Lin Yun's counterattack had started.

Enderfa, the puppet, and Lin Yun… Their casting ability could compare to that of several dozen formidable mages, and their signature flood of spells was very efficient at handling this army of Dark Elves.

Xiuban couldn't rush out, so he could only stay next to the recovering Magic Apprentice Zeuss to make sure that he wasn't killed by a Dark Elf.

The Dark Elves in the surroundings couldn't suppress Lin Yun's group and could only keep retreating, gradually opening the encirclement.

In only three minutes, the situation was reversed by Lin Yun's group and they were now the ones pressuring the other side.

Suddenly, Jeremy let out a sharp and deafening roar. "Dragon! Damnit! I knew it, you outsiders have malicious thoughts! Damned Dragons, to actually dare intrude in our territory! Kill! Kill them for me!"

When they heard that, the retreating Dark Elves immediately became angry as they looked at Reina. Every Dark Elf seemed to recall something, and the power of their spells sharply increased.

Even Elsa was somewhat startled as she looked at Reina, because although Reina looked like a human, she had just cast a Draconic Spell, and it was the purest kind of Draconic Ice Spell. This was something only a true Dragon could cast!

"Outsider, hand over the Dragon! With my status as a Dark Elven Princess, I can still let you go if you do so!" Elsa demanded with an icy tone.

Lin Yun's lips twitched. Hand Reina over? Were these Dark Elves brainless?

But Lin Yun also knew why this had caused such a huge reaction among the Dark Elves.

The ones that the Dark Elves hated the most were definitely the Dragons.

In those days, the entire Dark Elven sub-race was expelled out of Noscent by the Dragons. And with the Dark Elves' craving towards mana, this action was not much different from exterminating them.

If they didn't have a place with sufficient mana, the Dark Elves would slowly die. What hatred could trump that?

The Pure-blood Elves fortunately intervened… After all, they were all Elves, so even if the Dark Elves weren't in the right, it was at most internal strife.

But the Dragons putting their claw in this strife created a huge hatred, to the point where they would fight to their last gasp.

The first person to put the Dark Elves in this position was Constance, but Constance had already died…

Thus, the Dragons became their greatest villains.

It was normal for them to go all-out when seeing a Dragon after so many years…

Jeremy's eyes turned red as he crazily cast spells at Reina. The thousand or so Dark Elves also disregarded the rest of Lin Yun's group as they focused their spells at Reina.

Over a thousand Low Tier Spells exploded towards her at once. Reina roared and transformed into a Frost Dragon before opening her mouth to spray out a Frost Breath.

The icy blue Dragon Breath streaked across the sky, freezing the air, as well as many of the Low Tier Spells.

In moments, everything within an enormous swathe was frozen into an ice sculpture.

But there were still a lot of spells falling onto Reina.

The formidable resistances of Dragons allowed Reina to generally disregard Low Tier Spells, but many of these Low Tier Spells were Ultimate Spells, and the remaining ones weren't that far behind.

The constant rain of Low Tier Spells was overwhelming, and Lin Yun couldn't completely block their path. Only a small part hit Reina, but they still made her fall from the sky.

"Kill them! The Dragon! And the Dragon's dogs! Kill them all!"

Many Dark Elves began letting out fanatical shouts. Their first wave of spells managed to injure the Dragon! This was a huge success.

They had never seen a Dragon before. They had only learnt from their ancestors or from books how vicious and sinister Dragons were. Even as children, the Elders had spoken of Dragons to scare them, and the first Dragon they saw wasn't as powerful as they had imagined.

Killing the Dragon became their only thought.

Honor, hate, power, the only thing that mattered was killing this Dragon!

Lin Yun's expression turned icy.

"I hadn't planned on clashing with you, but it looks like I have to teach you a lesson!"

Lin Yun raised his Draconic Staff and the Purple Dragon Incarnation flew out, turning into a large Dragon behind Lin Yun. Mana violently surged out of Lin Yun's body, looking like a storm spreading in all directions.

The surge of mana alone was comparable to the power of 2nd Tier Spells!

That kind of power that shouldn't appear in a 9th Rank High Mage made Jeremy and Elsa feel as if a huge rock was crushing them.

"Quick! Kill him! Kill him!" Jeremy loudly shouted, a terrible premonition shrouding his mind.

All the Dark Elves converged together and a large amount of spells exploded towards Lin Yun.

Lin Yun only waved his Draconic Staff and a series of loud sounds echoed. Five ten-meters tall, six-meters wide and two-meters thick Askrim Gates suddenly appeared.

The five Askrim Gates heavily fell down, shaking up the ground.

All the spells were blocked by the five defensive spells.

In the back, Zeuss saw Xiuban's legs shaking, and recalling that Xiuban was supposed to protect him, he asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Xiuban felt a shiver down his spine as he looked at Lin Yun's back, and a sympathetic look towards the Dark Elves flashed in his eyes, "Sir Merlin is angry…".

With the Purple Dragon, Lin Yun's casting ability was comparable to an actual Dragon, and the power of his spells greatly increased.

The five heavy Askrim Gates completely resisted the other side's crazy assault.

Five seconds were enough for Lin Yun to do a lot of things.

He quickly chanted his profound incantation and raised the Draconic Staff to the sky.

All the Dark Elves looked at that scene with alarm. The sky seemed to be shaking as whimper-like sounds echoed.

In an instant, those transformed into rumbling explosions.

Several hundred flaming meteors dragging black trails appeared out of nowhere, covering an area several hundred-meters large, including the Dark Elves' position.

There was no time to dodge, some of the terrified Dark Elves were fully using their magic patterns to attack the sky, while many more were using defensive spells.

But it was futile.

That spell itself might only be at the 6th Tier, but it integrated several spells Lin Yun had found in the Book of Ten Thousand Mantras.

By relying on the Book of Ten Thousand Mantras' incantations, Lin Yun imitated Starfall to create this spell, which was a one-time summon of a large amount of meteors.

By relying on the power of the Draconic Staff, he could temporarily gain the casting ability of Chromatic Dragons. Although this spell was only at the 6th Tier, it could display the power comparable to top-notch 7th Tier Spells.

Large amount of several meter large meteors fell, only a few getting successfully broken by the Dark Elves' spells. There was no time to destroy the rest.

"Bang…"

Their defensive spells were completely unable to withstand the fall of the first meteor that instantly crushed three Dark Elves. They didn't even have time to let out a scream as they were turned to paste by the force of the impact.

Then, the large group of meteors fell and explosions kept echoing where they landed, the Dark Elves' screams kept being suppressed as the meteors continued falling.

The rumbling lasted for a dozen seconds without stopping, leaving behind several hundred meters of ashes and flames.

Some of the magic patterns lit up and sent spells towards Lin Yun, but they were suppressed within several dozen meters.

The puppet and Enderfa frantically cast waves of spells, making use of the Dark Elves being shrouded by smoke and dust, completely unable to dodge.

The Dark Elves' nightmare wasn't over, Lin Yun raised his Draconic Staff once again and chanted another life threatening spell to suppress those Dark Elves.

After less than ten seconds of chanting, a dozen-meters tall huge phantom appeared in front of Lin Yun, and alongside Lin Yun's chant, that huge phantom lifted the bow he held in its hand and shot a hundred-meters long light arrow towards the sky.

As the light arrow disappeared in the sky, so did the phantom.

The next instant, numerous lights appeared above the Dark Elves and everyone could see that those lights were in fact countless light arrows.

Countless light arrows fell down like a rainstorm, causing a wave of miserable shouts to echo once again. Even the dust, smoke and flames were completely suppressed.

At this time, everyone could see that at least two hundred Dark Elves had been shot by the light arrows, some of which had even turned into sieves.

Corpses were everywhere on the ground, the last two spells had killed at least 400 Dark Elves.

Zeuss was looking at Lin Yun with disbelief, "Radiant Arrow Rain? Damn, isn't that an 8th Tier Spell? Wait, no, the power had been reduced quite a bit…"

The Radiant Arrow Rain was also possible due to Lin Yun using the Book of Ten Thousand Mantras to remodel it into a 6th Tier Spell, but with the might of the Purple Dragon Phantom, it became a lot stronger.

In barely half a minute, the Dark Elves seemed to have been transported to hell…

They had lost four hundred of their kin in less than thirty seconds, and even among the living ones, many of them had been greatly injured.

Jeremy and Elsa were looking in the distance with pain, that human with the Purple Dragon Phantom was unexpectedly powerful, to the point of making them despair.

A large amount of Dark Elves died, making Elsa feel boundless sorrow. While blocking Lin Yun's spells, she also helped those Dark Elves that could no longer resist, while Jeremy was trying to flee in fear.

Only five hundred to six hundred Dark Elves remained, this battle could already be considered a loss, and that huge phantom behind Lin Yun made the Dark Elves remember their fear of Dragons.

When they were young, many Dark Elves were scared with the mere mention of Dragons.

In the Dark Elven records, the power and brutality of Dragons made every Dark Elf cultivate a deep fear.

Now, this fear was thoroughly brought to the surface…

When they saw Lin Yun raise his staff again… Countless Dark Elves collapsed, some started running backward, while the ones remaining didn't have the confidence to counterattack.

Two hundred to three hundred Enhanced Bursting Fireballs suddenly appeared, and with Endefa and the puppet added to the lot, these Dark Elves were suppressed to the point where they could no longer resist.

Countless spells rushed over, the large amount of Enhanced Bursting Fireballs exploded and all the Dark Elves could only gather together, all using defensive spells to strenuously defend.

Seeing that the Water Curtain they had cast wouldn't last long, Elsa ground her teeth and the magic pattern on her forehead shone.

Thick branches rose from the ground, resembling withered twigs, or withered tree roots.

The large amount of branches squirmed and formed an over twenty-meters big hemisphere, protecting all the remaining Dark Elves.

This was Elsa's last method of defense: 5th Tier Ultimate Spell, Wood Barrier.

Using this meant that they had completely given up any chance of counterattacking.

This Ultimate Spell was a rare plant-type spell. Using this spell in this Wisdom Tree God Nation would raise its power, and its duration would be greatly increased.

Lin Yun led his group to walk not far from from the Wood Barrier, and a large amount of spells bombarded that barrier, shattering a large amount of branches.

Within the barrier, fear could be seen overflowing from Jeremy's face. His pale complexion had become even paler, he was at a loss with no idea what to do.

Elsa's complexion became paler and paler as well, exhaustion visible on her face. That barrier's consumption was too great…

The remaining few hundred Dark Elves' spirit had been broken, many of the female Dark Elves were already sobbing from despair while some were getting ready to die as martyrs.

The situation had changed too fast, Elsa was the first to react. It wasn't that the young mage hadn't been able to defeat them, but rather, he hadn't planned on killing them from the start.

But they thought that these outsiders were pushovers, the pride of Dark Elves made them think that their Legion was unequalled, as long as their opponent wasn't at the Heaven Rank.

That seemingly only 9th Rank High Mage's mana was comparable to a 5th Rank Archmage, and his fighting power was comparable to the strongest 8th Rank Archmages. With his formidable Magic Tool, only a 9th Rank Archmage Dark Elf could possibly be able to fight him.

And that Frost Dragon was unexpectedly level 38. The power of Dragons was something Dark Elves had the best understanding of. As long as they hadn't comprehended High Tier Ultimate Spells and didn't form Ultimate Magic Patterns, then most Dark Elves wouldn't be a match for a Dragon of the same level.

As for the unsightly puppet, it was covered in patches, yet it was unexpectedly casting 5th and 6th Tier spells even faster than the Dark Elves. Alone, the puppet could use High Tier Spells to form waves of spells.

And there was also that delicate wheel-type Magic Tool controlled by that monstrous Magic Tool Incarnation. His casting speed was the fastest, it could match close to a hundred elite Dark Elves by itself.

Even that Beastman… He swung his weapon to meet a few dozen spells and wasn't injured at all, only whining a bit.

They had underestimated that group of outsiders.

Chapter 653: Second

Translator: Shiraishi Editor: TheAlliance

Looking back at it, Elsa could only bitterly smile. They were too impulsive and didn't have the most basic manners. They had started with a sneak attack, and if she hadn't listened to Jeremy's suggestion, if they tried to communicate, they might have not lost so many Dark Elves.

Elsa looked back and saw that the always prideful Jeremy was terrified. He didn't look as tough as he did when he was arrogantly deciding the fate of the outsiders.

Her mana was quickly being consumed, and despair started appearing on her face.

This Wood Barrier had the power of a 7th Tier Spell, but it wouldn't be able to last forever.

"Surrender! You won't be killed as long as you surrender and let us seal your mana, and I'll have a proper discussion with your Elders."

Lin Yun's indifferent voice could be heard from the inside of the Wood Barrier, and his words made all the Dark Elves feel ashamed, while a glimmer of hope appeared in Jeremy's eyes. He quickly guessed that it was because this was the Wisdom Tree, their territory. There were many experts within their community, but the true experts hadn't come out of the settlements.

'These outsiders truly don't dare to cause deadly enmity between us! As long as Elsa and I are alive, there is still a way to turn this around! My father is a Great Elder, and Elsa is the Dark Elven Princess. These outsiders must know the consequences of killing an Elven Princess!

'As for those ordinary Dark Elves, they can only be considered unfortunate… They offended a powerhouse and died. The Elders wouldn't offend a powerful outsider for the sake of common Dark Elves.'

The huge loss could only be considered Jeremy and Elsa's mistake, so they would definitely be punished, but what was a punishment compared to being killed?

Jeremy's eyes shone, thinking that he understood the thoughts of these outsiders.

But his pride as a Dark Elf made him hesitate. Although defeat and surrender looked similar, it was very different for Dark Elves. Their community could put up with the Dark Elves suffering some defeats, which would only result in a punishment.

But surrendering… Although it wouldn't really change the punishment, it would leave a stain on their reputation. If they went out into the streets, they might not even be able to buy a common breadfruit.

They would suffer the scorn of their fellow Dark Elves and their lives would be considered over.

While Jeremy was still hesitating, the exhausted Elsa shouted, "The heroes of Dark Elves fight to the death and never surrender like cowards!"

Elsa's face was deathly pale. Although Dark Elves were usually pale, it still didn't look odd, but now, the blood seemed to have drained from her face, making it look translucent.

This was due to over-exhaustion of mana, and even her vitality was suffering. Elsa was already at her limits…

Lin Yun was a bit shocked as he looked at Elsa. Although he disliked these arrogant Dark Elves, Elsa seemed somewhat better.

He was in a bad mood due to their sneak attack and their domineering attitude.

But that didn't mean he didn't admire that Dark Elven Princess' attitude.

All living creatures would instinctively try to avoid disasters, and when their lives were threatened, their survival instincts would take over.

But those with moral integrity who would rather die standing than live kneeling were scarce, especially when they lived long. The stronger ones, when facing oppression, would try their best to survive.

But Lin Yun wasn't softhearted, either. Since they attacked them and injured Reina, Lin Yun planned to engrave a bitter lesson in the Dark Elves' minds.

"Xiuban, go and persuade these stubborn guys."

Xiuban smirked and went over, slamming his heavy Carnage on the Wood Barrier.

"Wretched Dark Elves, you actually dare to sneak attack Sir Merlin and Lord Xiuban! That's courting death! Hurry up and surrender, the only thing waiting for you if you keep acting like turtles is a hammer in the face!

"Surrender, the kind-hearted Sir Merlin will definitely not kill you. But if you resist again, don't blame Lord Xiuban for being ruthless! I shall have you know, fools, that even I am afraid of myself when I'm ruthless…"

Xiuban was sneering as he arrogantly pressured them to surrender. Even Elsa glared at Xiuban, and the Dark Elves gnashed their teeth as they looked at him, but under the pressure, panic spread.

Xiuban swung Carnage around, impressing upon them that the huge killing weapon clearly had a bigger impact than spells.

After he was done scolding them, Xiuban only increased the fear these Dark Elves were suffering. More and more Dark Elves couldn't hold themselves back as they started weeping, but Elsa was still clenching their teeth, not wanting to admit defeat, not wanting to surrender.

Lin Yun had already lost his patience, while Enderfa had no intention to let these Dark Elves surrender. The Ten Thousand Spell Wheel was operating at full strength and bombarding the Wood Barrier with spells, consuming what little mana Elsa had left.

Mana was just as important as vitality to Dark Elves.

Lin Yun frowned a bit. The defensive power of this Wood Barrier was outstanding. Despite being under the attack of so many spells, it still lasted close to ten minutes.

The power of Dark Elves' ultimate mana patterns could be seen from this. The stronger the tier of the ultimate magic pattern, the more ability it could display.

Although the Dark Elves' defeat was only a matter of time, they were in a deadlock at the moment.

Suddenly, Lin Yun raised his head and looked into the distance. Drumming sounds could be heard coming from a slope in the distance, like an avalanche or a landslide.

Many figures were falling down as if rocks were rolling down the slope towards them.

In a few seconds, miserable sounds could be heard in the distance… It was the sound of the collapsing Dark Elves.

Magical lights could be seen shining above the forest from time to time, followed by miserable shouts.

An oppressive and stifling aura started filling the atmosphere, surrounding everyone.

"Roar!"

The frantic and cruel shout could be heard as Lin Yun's complexion changed.

"Quick!" Lin Yun shouted, preparing to escape.

But they didn't have enough time.

The huge colossus moving through the jungle had been in the distance a few seconds ago, but now, he was closing in on their location.

Soon, the thick trees in the front collapsed, and they could even see some turned to pieces by the formidable power.

The dust and wood shavings flew out and clouded the air.

Suddenly, an enormous ten-meter claw came out of the dust, and soon, the shadow of a behemoth came out of the dust.

With a roar, this huge behemoth rushed out of the cover of the dust.

Its body was like a large Earth Drake. The surface of its body was covered with layers upon layers of thin scales, and a flowing flame seemed to be circulating just over it.

Its hind legs were over twenty meters long and made the entire leaf continent shudder. Its forelegs were covered with various runes, and its sharp claws were flickering with the luster of metal!

And three heads were splitting from that rare monster's neck.

Two python heads, one red, one blue, were situated on the sides. They belonged to the Ash Python race and had icy eyes, long tongues that extended very far, and massive fangs. Everything further emphasized how dangerous that monster was.

And in the middle, there was that long-horned malevolent demonic head, the head of an Abyssal Demon…

"Orachiss…"

After freezing for a moment, Zeuss looked just like a panicked kid and screamed.

He was terrified, and it didn't take long for him to panic this time. Last time he saw an Orachiss, he was almost torn to shreds. And not too long after, he met a second ancient vicious Orachiss…

"Hell! How could there be an Orachiss here?" Enderfa cried out in fear, clearly not expecting such an outcome.

Lin Yun's expression became unsightly. Only a few seconds had passed between him sensing the Orachiss' aura and its appearance.

Even Lin Yun didn't expect that this place would have an Orachiss. Thankfully, it wasn't at the Heaven Rank.

It looked like it was an Orachiss that was only a step away from the Heaven Rank.

'Damn, since when were these so common?'

Lin Yun decisively withdrew his Draconic Staff, intending to have everyone flee. An Orachiss wasn't something they could fight, so fleeing was their only choice.

As soon as the Orachiss appeared, the battlefield became chaotic.

Elsa, who was still maintaining her Wood Barrier, looked at the Orachiss and truly despaired.

Although the Wood Barrier's defensive power was outstanding, it had a clear weak point, which was that it couldn't be moved.

"Boom!"

A loud, muffled sound echoed from the Wood Barrier. The deafening rumble made several dozen Dark Elves pass out. The Orachiss' claw had landed on it and caused the surface to be covered in cracks.

Chapter 654: Difference

Translator: Shiraishi Editor: TheAlliance

The Orachiss swiped three times, and the Wood Barrier that had been bombarded by Lin Yun for almost ten minutes without breaking turned into a pile of wood.

Hundreds of Dark Elves had been shaken by that power. Many of the others had blood seeping out of their orifices.

"Orachiss! Everyone run!"

"Aaaaaah, I don't want to die!"

"How could there be an Orachiss here!?"

Terrified, miserable shouts echoed here and there. The Dark Elves, who originally had no desire to fight anymore, didn't even resist after seeing the Orachiss, a dozen of them fell to the ground, paralyzed and scared to death.

The Orachiss' three heads attentively watched those few hundred Dark Elves, extended its two forearms towards them and grabbed twenty to thirty in each hand. A dozen Dark Elves even died from being crushed as their bones shattered.

As for the other Dark Elves, they were seriously injured and let out anguished wails.

The Orachiss' demonic mouth opened wide as it sent a batch of screaming Elves into it. The Dark Elves still tried to struggle out of the maw.

Disgusting crunching sounds echoed.

As it closed its mouth, blood leaked out.

Then, the Orachiss extended its forearms and once again grabbed two batches of Dark Elves and fed them to his snake maws on both sides.

The Dark Elves were nothing more than food at this moment. They lacked the power to resist the Orachiss, and in a dozen seconds, over a hundred of them were eaten alive.

Especially those stunned Dark Elves… They were put in the Orachiss' mouths like delicacies.

Lin Yun's group was sweating as they looked at the scene. This Orachiss was clearly more savage than the last one…

They turned to run, but after running a hundred meters, they discovered that the space was continuously twisting, as if the entire world was fuzzy.

Then, they saw a large amount of ashen flames rushing out from the ground, blocking everyone's path. The powerful flames blocked their path, continuously fluctuating as the space twisted, it like a huge abstract red painting.

They were several meters away from those raging flames, but Lin Yun could feel his own clothes about to ignite.

The group hastily withdrew, but their expressions turned unsightly.

"F*cking Ash Cage!" Enderfa cursed.

Lin Yun looked calm and collected. He turned around and saw that the Orachiss didn't seem to have noticed them as it was busy grabbing those Dark Elves. A few hundred tasty Dark Elves was a lot more alluring than the few of them.

But who would have thought that the Orachiss they met was not only more savage, but more intelligent.

It let out an Ash Cage in such a short time, it must have been casting it while he rushed over!

Lin Yun's expression was quite heavy, his palms were sweaty.

This Orachiss wasn't any less troublesome to deal with.

Especially since this Ash Cage was different from the Orachiss they encountered last time.

The Ash Cage of the first Orachiss they met didn't have much ashen flames burning, its power was centered around spatial power.

That kind of cage was the strongest, no one under the Heaven Rank could leave.

But the cage of this Orachiss was entirely different, the spatial power was only guiding, during the creating process it instantly formed a trapping effect. But after the Ash Cage was fully formed, the spatial power was reduced to a very weak degree.

The entire Ash Cage was a huge cage made of ashen flames!

Although the effects of that cage weren't as powerful as the other one, it thoroughly severed any means of escape. Anyone approaching would be turned to ashes.

Who knew how many revolving flames remained there, and how thick they were. Anyone under the Heaven Rank would be burnt trying to go through a dozen-meters thick ashen flame.

This was absolute power!

They could leave as long as they could break through, but if they didn't have enough power, they would have no other way to break through!

Flames were surrounding several hundred meters around them, even the sky was covered in flames.

All the places were sealed.

The hundred-meters tall Orachiss could cover every corner of this less than a kilometer wide cage!

After analyzing this Ash Cage, Lin Yun immediately summoned Syudos.

"I can devour these ashen flames?" Syudos turned into a ball of fire and asked, to which Lin Yun solemnly nodded.

He then solemnly instructed the others, "This Orachiss clearly thinks of us as food, he cast an Ash Cage and started enjoying his meal. It'll be our turn once all the Dark Elves are eaten. We must attack in order to survive!"

After these words, Lin Yun immediately turned and started walking towards the soaring ashen flames.

His clothes started smelling burnt when he was five meters away from the flames. The silent flames were emitting a terrifying amount of heat.

Lin Yun used his Fire Elemental Incarnation to greatly increase his resistance towards heat and walked towards the ash gray firewall while using a Mana Shield.

Lin Yun's Mana Shield kept revolving, imitating the movement of the Magic Array. Its surface changed as it transformed into a kind of Ice Shield.

Lin Yun carefully observed his Mana Shield before directly entering the wall of ashen flames.

The heat that rushed over him, in his Fire Elemental Incarnation, felt strangely warm, it felt as if the silent flames were burning from inside and outside at the same time.

Lin Yun's face turned red, he had to use all his strength to maintain the Mana Shield, frantically rousing his Magic Array. His Mana Shield was continuously changing as the Magic Array revolved.

Then, the Mana Shield split…

It split into frail-looking Ice Shields flying out towards the surroundings ashen flames, before turning into a formation. It was like a whirlpool spinning with a large amount of ashen flames.

These ashen flames were disconnected from the wall of fire and Syudos impatiently rushed out.

Syudos rushed into a ball-shaped man-sized ashen flame, and in less than three seconds, a black hole seemed to have formed in the center of that ashen flame, a large amount of flames starting to collapse towards the center.

It took Syudos five seconds to cleanly devour that ball of ashen flames.

Lin Yun couldn't deal with the consumption, thus he followed a set pattern: he quickly cut a piece of the wall of ashen flames and made Syudos eat one flame after another.

The Orachiss seemed to have felt the wall of fire suffering damage, that red snake head immediately turning towards them.

Its icy eyes were vicious and evil. Without any hesitation, that snake head opened its mouth and cast over a hundred fire spells over.

The fire spells turned into a tornado whistling over, travelling several hundred meters in a few seconds.

An unlucky Dark Elf came in contact with that fire tornado and instantly caught fire, letting a blood-curdling scream as he turned to ashes.

Enderfa controlled the Ten Thousand Spell Wheel and a large amount of ice spells flew over, turning into a long river of ice. It fused with Reina's and the puppet's own spells, forming a wall of ice moving forward.

The ice spells collided with the Orachiss' fire spells and fierce explosions kept echoing, forming a mushroom-shaped fog in the center due to the collision between the elements.

Shockwaves spread throughout the Ash Cage, and the Dark Elves, that had originally taken all of the Orachiss' attention, were immediately affected. They were sent flying while puking blood, one after another. A few of them were even sent flying into the Ash Cage and turned to ashes.

Seeing a fierce explosion about to hit them, Reina turned into her Dragon Shape and used her Ice Coffin to protect everyone.

More importantly it protected Lin Yun who was at the back, working on the Ash Cage.

"Snap…"

A sharp sound echoed as minute cracks appeared on the Ice Coffin.

The flames dissipated, but when the Orachiss saw that Lin Yun and the others were unexpectedly still alive, it suddenly got angry.

The fire head and the ice head simultaneously turned, and a large amount of fire spells and ice spells flew out. Ice and fire mixed together while countless fire runes and ice runes entangled. Two streams, one red and one blue, were intertwined like two snake-like dragons of ice and fire.

The Ice Coffin burst into fragments on contact, making Reina groan as she turned back into her Human Shape, blood leaking out of her mouth.

In her Dragon Shape, Reina already had the power of a level 38, and because of the Dragons' innate abilities and superiority, she was stronger than the average level 38.

But when facing an ancient vicious beast like the Orachiss, and one who was a step away from the Heaven Rank, Reina was like a young kid facing an adult.

She couldn't withstand a single blow in a direct confrontation, she couldn't even withstand the Orachiss' snake heads, let alone that demonic head eating Dark Elves.

Enderfa and the puppet crazily cast instant defensive spells, but the spells were instantly destroyed.

Countless shields and barriers were released, blocking the two streams of fire and ice ten meters away from the group, but these continuously released defensive spells were slowly forced back by the Orachiss spells.

Chapter 655: Piercing Arrow

Translator: Shiraishi Editor: TheAlliance

The range of the defense kept decreasing, and even Zeuss was participating in the defense with cold sweat.

After Reina regained some strength, she joined the defense once again.

Even so, it was only able to block the Orachiss' attacking spells just ten meters away from the group.

After three minutes, the sound of Lin Yun chanting could be heard from behind.

His Draconic Staff shone, and five Askrim Gates appeared in front of everyone, blocking all of the Orachiss' spells.

"Hurry up!" Lin Yun shouted in a low voice.

Everyone looked back and saw a tunnel the size of a person dug into the wall of fire. The four walls of the tunnel were made out of Ice Shields that were temporarily withstanding the ashen flames.

But they could all see that those Ice Shields were quickly melting and that it wouldn't take long for the entire tunnel to collapse.

As Lin Yun stood next to everyone, they could clearly feel that his mana was quickly being consumed…

Everyone rushed through this passage, and within three seconds, they made it out of the Ash Cage.

By the time Lin Yun rushed out, the tunnel collapsed and the ashen flames filled the hole like gray lava.

Syudos, who had turned into a ball of fire, kept switching between ash-gray and red fire, a rich aura of ashen flames spreading from his body. His aura was a lot stronger than it had been earlier.

Lin Yun let out a relieved sigh now that they'd finally escaped…

The Ash Cage would completely collapse if the Orachiss cast Apocalypse. But this Orachiss was smarter and more savage. It was trying to trap all its prey before feasting.

"Thankfully, I sent Syudos to the Bone Plane," Lin Yun said while rejoicing.

The ordinary Flame Spirits would remain ordinary because they could hardly grow.

But Upper Rank Flame Spirits had the ability to devour fire. At first, Syudos was barely comparable to a level 30.

After being sent to the Bone Plane, Syudos had been crazily devouring Soul Fires, which had let him advance to level 32.

This was because those Soul Fires were too weak… Although they could be considered a type of flame, because their rank was too low, they barely helped Syudos grow.

This was also the reason that Lin Yun had thrown him into the Bone Plane to clean it. After being discarded for so long, Syudos wasn't in a good mood.

It was like eating flavorless bread every day for a few months. Anyone would be fed up with that, especially someone used to eating delicacies. Having him go a few months with bland bread would definitely push him to his limits.

After spending so much time in the Bone Plane, Syudos now had the power to devour those ashen flames. If he hadn't become stronger beforehand, he might have ended up being consumed instead. This was a difference in essence.

How could Syudos not covet that wall of ashen flames? But the flames were too powerful, and Syudos simply didn't dare to devour them. If he forcibly tried to, he would be submerged by them and might even be burnt to death, despite being an Upper Rank Flame Spirit.

As for Lin Yun, he simply couldn't touch the wall formed out of ashen flames. Just like ordinary people, he had no way to go through, so his only option was to dig his way through.

Syudos couldn't devour the entire wall, but Lin Yun could help him withstand the pressure and forcibly break apart the wall. At that time, Syudos would be able to devour the part of the wall that Lin Yun had cut off.

By coordinating their actions, they were able to form a tunnel through that wall.

The Orachiss naturally wouldn't let Lin Yun dig a tunnel so easily, so Enderfa and the others had to block the attacks.

They couldn't properly contend against it, but by using all the methods they had to resist, their power rose, and they managed to barely hold on.

But it was nothing compared to the pressure Lin Yun was under.

He was resisting the pressure of the ashen flames all by himself, while Syudos was eating his fill.

He used Mana Shield because it was the best option against continuous pressure. As long as his mana wasn't completely consumed, the Mana Shield wouldn't dissipate.

But even then, Lin Yu's mana had been used up three times!

Without the help of the Demiplane, allowing him to recover his mana instantly, he wouldn't have been able to withstand the pressure of the ashen flames!

This was something that only a Heaven Rank powerhouse could cross, the pressure alone was enough to suppress a 9th Rank Archmage to death.

Moreover, nothing could disturb him during the process. Lin Yun wouldn't have been able to resist the Orachiss' power if it had reached this place… He and Syudos would have been crushed to death.

The last time they met an Orachiss, Syudos did not yet have the ability to devour these ashen flames and Lin Yun also couldn't have withstood the pressure of an Orachiss and its ashen flames.

It was different this time. The increase in strength brought them many alternatives, so he didn't have to anger the Orachiss into casting Apocalypse this time.

The Orachiss was infuriated by Lin Yun's group rushing out of the Ash Cage.

It originally thought they were helpless prey, but they actually cut a path out. How could it tolerate that?

The Dark Elves in the Ash Cage suffered from it.

Not only did the two snake heads crazily start casting spells, but even that demonic head that was eating Dark Elves let out Abyssal Spells.

A thick smell of sulfur spread through the atmosphere as the vicious power wreaked havoc. Boundless black smoke condensed in midair, turning into a malevolent black claw.

Over a hundred of these black claws appeared in the sky, killing many of the Dark Elves. Out of what was originally almost a thousand Dark Elves, only a bit over two hundred remained.

That group of Dark Elves released spells while clenching their teeth, standing in front of Elsa to protect her.

Elsa grabbed a pitch-black arrow with both hands and poured a large amount of mana into it. Even though Jeremy was frightened, he still also poured mana into that arrow.

It was unknown what kind of tree had been used to make this arrow, but it looked like it was made very roughly. There were only seven runes on top of it, just like a crude magic arrow.

But as a large amount of mana was poured into it, a cryptic mana fluctuation spread.

In a short time, close to a hundred more Dark Elves were killed by the Orachiss, and a dozen Dark Elves even took the initiative to rush into the Orachiss' reach to be devoured, all to gain some time.

As the Orachiss pushed the few Dark Elf survivors to the edge of the Ash Cage, the runes on the black arrow flew out.

The seven runes carried formidable power, and the radiance turned into a barrier enveloping the Dark Elves.

All the Dark Elves disappeared when the Orachiss' claw fell on it, and only the black arrow remained floating in midair.

Then, the black arrow, roused by the runes, charged into the ashen flames.

The power of the ashen flames kept colliding with the runes surrounding the black arrow, dimming the light of the runes.

By the time the black arrow rushed out of the ashen flames, it flew two hundred more meters before the runes dissipated. A barrier appeared there, and the missing Dark Elves reappeared.

Then, the black arrow turned to ashes, falling from the sky.

Lin Yun's group had already escaped a few hundred meters away when they turned and saw that scene.

Enderfa cursed with admiration while fuming, "Piercing Arrow, damn, these sl*ts actually have this kind of thing!"

Lin Yun hadn't seen what the Dark Elves had done, but he remembered information about it after hearing Enderfa.

The Piercing Arrow, a consumable Magic Tool. It was one of the most powerful arrows in the Elven arsenal.

It was rumored that the most powerful Heaven Archer of the Nesser Dynasty had used a top-notch Piercing Arrow with the Moon God Bow and was able to kill an enemy from fifty kilometers away.

The Piercing Arrow could also be used as a consumable Magic Tool. After activation, it could lead people to safety, travelling a dozen kilometers in a second.

As long as the power of the Piercing Arrow wasn't exhausted, it could lead a group over fifty kilometers away.

The Elves would usually hand Piercing Arrow to the most important youths of their clan. This was one of the major methods they used to keep them safe.

Unfortunately, the Orachiss' ashen flames were too powerful, so going through the wall of flames consumed almost all its power. Otherwise, a small amount of mana would have been enough to carry these Dark Elves a few kilometers away.

After reappearing, the Dark Elves turned and saw the Ash Cage… And they couldn't help feeling despair. The Piercing Arrow didn't take them far… It was only able to get them out of the Ash Cage.

Having all its prey escape infuriated the Orachiss.

The Ash Cage exploded, and the countless ashen flames transformed into fist-sized balls of fire that rained down, covering an area with a one-kilometer radius from its original position.

The enraged Orachiss madly roared as it rushed out, its three heads releasing a large number of spells.

Fire, ice, flame, smoke… The mixed power, along with the ashen flames, turned everything within a kilometer into hell.

When he saw this, Lin Yun unhesitantly started escaping.

Then, an Ash Cage appeared in front, blocking Lin Yun and the Dark Elves on the edge of this leaf continent.

The Orachiss' two snake heads started crazily casting spells. The intertwined ice and fire carried berserk and chaotic power.

But everyone paled as flames burned in the demonic head's eyes. The flames grew to be four meters tall, and the demonic head's mouth spat out black flaming demonic runes.

Each of them was emitting evil, chaotic, and apocalyptic auras as they fluttered in front of the Orachiss.

As these runes revolved, a huge change arose…

The sky above their heads turned red, while the tree continent started fiercely shaking. The smell of sulfur assaulted their nostrils as one ball of flame after another fell from the sky.

Black lava started flowing on the floor…

"Rumble…"

A loud sound echoed as a ball of lava exploded like an erupting volcano. The lava was spraying like a fountain as a large amount of poisonfire spread through the air.

Ominous, sinister, apocalyptic, disastrous…

The entire area surrounding the Ash Cage was thoroughly destroyed, everything annihilated.

Lin Yun's expression changed as he recognized Apocalypse with a glance. But this Orachiss was clearly stronger than the last one, or perhaps it was better to say that this Orachiss' demonic bloodline was more powerful!

Its control over this Apocalypse was very precise, and its casting speed was also faster. Even the Ash Cage that guided the Apocalypse hadn't disappeared.

Moreover, these two snake heads were still casting their spells.

Lin Yun took the Book of Death out, as well as the Book of Ten Thousand Mantras. At death's door, he could only use both to the best of his ability.

The Demiplane was still too weak… It could at most allow Lin Yun to avoid some deadly spells, but the consequences wouldn't be much better than death if he used the Demiplane to try to dodge this destructive spell…

Apocalypse's devastation would destroy everything, and that naturally included space. Even space would be torn to shreds, and any spatial coordinates remaining would be shattered.

Hiding in the Demiplane would mean being unable to return to Noscent. Without the coordinates and the Planar Path, the Demiplane would be a cage drifting aimlessly.

A matured Demiplane was powerful, but Lin Yun's Demiplane was far from reaching that realm.

Lin Yun's palms were sweating. He was using all his power to resist the spells from the snake heads while also resisting the Apocalypse that was slowly channeled over.

Fortunately, Apocalypse was a channeled spell. Unless it completely erupted, its power wasn't irresistible. But once the Apocalypse burst out, everyone would die.

Lin Yun's side could barely resist, but it was worse for the Dark Elves. Every few seconds, another Dark Elf would die. If not from the erupting lava, then from the toxins, or from falling into the lava directly.

There were even some that were set on fire by the ashes…

Despair filled Jeremy's face, and although he was still using defensive spells with all his power, he was growing weaker and weaker. Elsa looked more and more unwell. She was dispirited and listless, but she was still casting defensive spells.

Seeing that the Apocalypse would soon burst out and that the Ash Cage behind them had yet to dissipate, Syudos hurriedly rushed into the ashen flames.

Enderfa's three faces kept changing expressions, showing impatience and worry.

"Merlin!" Enderfa shouted.

Sweat dripped down Lin Yun's forehead as he said with certainty, "When the casting of Apocalypse reaches the critical point, even a Heaven Rank Orachiss would be unable to maintain its Ash Cage, so this Orachiss definitely won't be able to!"

The casting was almost at a critical juncture, just about to erupt, but even though it was still in its channeling process, an apocalyptic scene was already happening in the Ash Cage.

Countless flames burned in the sky, and meteors with black trails kept raining down, leaving deep cracks in the ground. Countless fogs of poison emerged from the erupting lava. The elements were chaotic in the air, transforming into gales of Wind Blades and storms of raging flames.

With the spells from the snake heads added to it, it really felt like doomsday was near…

Suddenly, the Orachiss' snake heads stopped casting, and the Ash Cage collapsed.

At this moment, everyone in Lin Yun's group, who had already made their preparations, immediately jumped down from the leaf continent.

The Dark Elves didn't react as quickly. Only Elsa, Jeremy, and a bit over thirty Dark Elves jumped down promptly.

A fire attack followed behind the crowd, sweeping above their heads. Everything left on that leaf continent was annihilated.

They could even see some Dark Elves that jumped slightly too late get their upper bodies turned to ashes, with only their legs remaining.

When they were about to fall on the leaf below, Lin Yun quickly cast Featherfall on everyone.

They all raised their heads to look up after landing on a small platform. The leaf that had existed for such a long time was covered with fiery cracks.

From the lower platform, it looked as if the leaf was disintegrating. A large amount of lava was coursing down from it like a waterfall.

With a several-hundred-meter-tall black mushroom cloud that kept soaring up, the continent that spread for over ten kilometers thoroughly exploded.

Flames, poisonous fog, lightning, and meteors fell in all directions.

Lin Yun quickly led everyone to escape in the distance, his forehead covered in cold sweat. After all, that continent was a leaf of the Wisdom Tree!

Lin Yun clearly remembered that as long as the Wisdom Tree was alive, a top-notch Archmage would have to spend a lot of effort and energy just to get one leaf.

Although the ground of that leaf was made out of the fallen leaves of the Wisdom Tree, it wasn't too different.

Yet it was destroyed by the Orachiss just now…

This wasn't just a little bit stronger than the previous Orachiss. This Orachiss' demonic bloodline was unimaginably powerful! It was definitely a first-rate Abyssal Demon bloodline.

Lin Yun led everyone to escape, and the Dark Elves chose to flee in the same direction.

This time, the Dark Elves didn't care that they were outsiders. They were clearly far less of a threat than the Orachiss.

Although they fled in the same direction, they tacitly put a distance between them, as no one wanted to get too close to the other party. Fighting at such a time would get everyone killed.

They barely passed crossed this leaf when they saw a large amount of lava heavily landing on the small platform.

"Rumble…"

A loud sound echoed as cracks started appearing on that platform. These leaves that had remained there for countless years started to crack and the entire platform broke.

Countless leaves fell down. The Orachiss roared and rushed to chased everyone.

When he saw that Orachiss agilely run down the tree trunk, Lin Yun's face turned a bit green.

Although he saw that the Orachiss was stronger than the one he encountered before, he hadn't expected it to be so agile.

Seeing this Orachiss continuously jumping down the leaves while casting some spells to raise its own speed, Lin Yun knew that it must have spent a long time in this place, making it very familiar with the environment. The Orachiss, which was an expert at charging, had learnt how to nimbly jump and climb in this place.

Lin Yun glanced over and kept running while feeling depressed.

This was already the densest part of the Wisdom Tree's leaves. The dense leaves and branches were entangled together, and the fallen leaves were piled up there and there, forming layers of independent worlds.

But some places had cracks that could be used to run upward, many of which would end up in dead ends.

Now, Lin Yun and the group of Dark Elves were rushing in panic, not having the luxury to choose their path carefully.

They were currently on a leaf continent that spanned twenty meters. On their right was a thick, mountain-like branch with not a single crack to go through.

On their left was the edge of the tree continent. It wasn't a cliff, but rather, it was separated by leaves of the Wisdom Tree. After running there, everyone discovered that the front was already sealed, while there was not a single crack on the left side.

They could only see wood a few kilometers away, and it was that branch…

This was a dead end…

They could only go back, but unfortunately, the Orachiss was crazily chasing after them. It was a few kilometers away, for now, but was still casting spells at them.

Sweat dripped down Lin Yun's forehead. Although there were still a few kilometers before they'd reach the center of that continent, they could see from the current circumstances that it was a dead end.

After chasing for such a long time, how could Lin Yun not keep running? He had no time to examine his surroundings. If they stopped just for an instant, they would be overtaken by the pursuing Orachiss. If they fell into the Ash Cage one more time, they wouldn't be able to escape as easily.

Enderfa fiercely stared at the Dark Elves not far from there. "These sl*ts are obviously natives of this place, yet they actually led us into a dead end…"

Chapter 657: Hell Gate

Enderfa's prejudice was already pointless. They could only escape while releasing spells to block the Orachiss behind them.

As for the army of Dark Elves, only a bit over twenty were still alive now, or it might be better to say, there were still over twenty that hadn't been injured. Being injured during the pursuit meant death.

Lin Yun had taken care of a few hundred, and then hundreds had been eaten by the Orachiss. Out of the rest, some weren't able to keep up and were either eaten by the Orachiss or eaten by carnivorous plants along the way.

A thick, black smoke mixed with the power of ice and fire was continuously chasing behind them.

A Dark Elf's ankle was caught by a weak vine magic beast, and less than a second later, she was submerged by a bunch of Abyssal Spells, before the black smoke surging with lava swallowed her, not even giving her any time to shout…

Feeling the strain, Lin Yun crazily rushed forward while quickly spreading forty to fifty Mage Eyes around.

Multiple scenes of the sides and the front appeared in Lin Yun's mind…

It was like having forty to fifty extra pairs of eyes… With so many scenes and so much information, Lin Yun's head felt as if it was swelling.

Under such circumstances, Lin Yun still found the time to cast spells. At this critical time, his casting remained steady, which required a huge amount of control.

But no one had the extra energy to pay attention to Lin Yun's movements.

As some of the Mage Eyes fell behind, many of them were crushed by the surging mana fluctuations coming from the back.

After releasing over a hundred Mage Eyes, Lin Yun discovered something special about this dead end.

After 1500 meters, they would reach the dead end, and that meant that they would be completely blocked by the Orachiss.

Lin Yun glanced at Endefa and said, "Block the Orachiss for a bit."

After saying that, the Magic Array within Lin Yun's body revolved to its limits and flaring mana rushed out of his body. Lin Yun used Flight to its fullest and instantly rushed out, leaving a large amount of mana erupting behind him.

This was a technique that consumed a large amount of mana to increase one's speed and could only be used by Archmages or those on the same level, as it was very taxing on the mage's mana.

Lin Yun flew those 1500 meters in just ten seconds.

Having reached the center of the dead end, Lin Yun landed in front of an array and then took out four bottles of Star Ink and four crystal pens.

Moreover, two of the crystal pens were Superior crystal pens that Lin Yun had previously crafted. Their only good point was that they could be remote controlled.

These two shoddy, remote-controlled items were now life-saving treasures.

Lin Yun thoroughly put the Orachiss out of his thoughts and trusted his back to his companions before focusing his mind and soul on the task. He took the two crystal pens in his hands and also had two remote-controlled crystal pens. The four crystal pens were quickly writing on the array.

The silent array began to let out radiance when the first rune was inscribed, and this faint light made Lin Yun's eyes quickly moisten!!

This meant that the array was intact, and more importantly, it was a teleportation array!

This was an ordinary teleportation array that could teleport them fifteen to twenty kilometers away at most.

But now, let alone an ordinary teleportation array, even a short-distance teleportation array would save their lives!

Lin Yun's eyes opened wide as his Magic Array frantically performed calculations. Countless runes crazily surged before his eyes.

Just one second of this sort of calculation would be enough to make Master Alchemist sweat. They would need three days to calculate what Lin Yun did in 1 second under the pressure of the Orachiss!

Lin Yun, with the four crystal pens, looked like a whirling shadow as he quickly wrote down multitudes of runes for cracking.

The runes were like rain sprinkling over, and in barely three seconds, several hundred runes surrounded the array, and the cracking was complete!

At this time, the chasing Orachiss was already catching up. Its two snake heads were angrily roaring, and a large amount of fire and ice sprayed out from its mouths. And the central demonic head's teeth were covered with blood and broken limbs. Pitch-black flames flew out as a constant barrage of Abyssal Spells flew out at them.

Pitch-black flames carrying the dense smell of sulfur were raining down. Moreover, there were also pitch-black demonic claws condensing in midair and falling down like meteors.

The first attack caught up to three Dark Elves and turned them into mincemeat, and one Dark Elf's defensive spell was thoroughly burnt and she instantly ignited, turning to ashes in an instant.

Jeremy and Elsa were surrounded by the remaining Dark Elves, the magic patterns on their skins lighting up one after another, going all-out. Mana exhaustion was nothing compared to their lives.

But they were still being herded towards the dead end by the Orachiss. They could hardly support themselves, but their only option was to try to resist the spells cast by the Orachiss. With the sulfuric flames and lava dancing over, from time to time, a Dark Elf's defenses would be breached due to mana exhaustion.

At this time, a crack in the defenses meant death. Elsa's complexion had already reached a deadly blue. After casting her Wood Barrier earlier, she had yet to be able to use it again, and furthermore, her mana was already insufficient for casting a Wood Barrier…

They could only keep focusing on fighting their hardest just to buy one more second…

Reina and Enderfa were both clenching their teeth, fully using everything at their disposal. The Ten Thousand Spell Wheel's Lava Heart let off a glaring light as its mana output was squeezed to its limits by Enderfa.

Xiuban was standing on the side, swinging Carnage to block any missed spells, being careful that no spell would bother Lin Yun while he was cracking the array.

Everyone tried their best to resist the spells cast by the Orachiss' three heads, and the lowest spell was at the 6th Rank, while some were even at the 7th Rank…

And the Orachiss was already only a kilometer away now. With its huge body, it would only need a few seconds to catch up.

At this distance, the Orachiss wasn't throwing large-scale spells away, but rather started using more formidable spells.

A wall of fire formed from ashen flames rose up a kilometer away. The hundred meters of flames were calmly burning. That deathly silence was suppressing everyone, as it had blocked their way out.

Abyssal Runes flew out of the Orachiss' head and filled the area with an apocalyptic aura.

Demonic whispers echoed in everyone's ears…

At this time, even Xiuban knew that the Orachiss was fully using its Abyssal Spells…

The Dark Elves were thoroughly despairing, and one Dark Elf was even tearfully singing a desolate hymn.

This was the last bit of pride that Dark Elves had when about to be sacrificed.

Enderfa's faces turned towards the back. He saw Lin Yun's blurry hands and opened his mouth, but decided against saying something.

Suddenly, Lin Yun's hands stopped, and the two crystal pens moving on their own also fell.

That teleportation array suddenly shone with a glaring light that rose towards the sky.

"Hurry!" Lin Yun shouted, his trembling hands firmly holding the Draconic Staff as he uttered five characters. A large amount of mana rushed from his body, turning into a tide of mana gathering in front of everyone.

In a split second, five heavy Askrim Gates appeared out of nowhere and blocked the spells from the snake heads. But the first Askrim Gate was instantly shattered.

Xiuban, Enderfa, Reina, Zeuss, and the puppet all charged towards the teleportation array, disappearing in an instant.

Lin Yun glanced at the Dark Elves not far from there and saw that they were already on the verge of collapse. The Dark Elves were barely able to block the Orachiss' spells now, and the hair of a few of the Dark Elves had been set ablaze by the high temperature.

Lin Yun stood at the edge of the teleportation array and raised his Draconic Staff while quickly chanting three words, summoning a Hell Gate in another direction.

A whirlpool of darkness slowly appeared, which was soon followed by the aura of hell permeating the air and the roars of hellish lifeforms echoing.

The Orachiss' two snake heads immediately turned towards the Hell Gate, their eyes carrying malevolence and hatred, even forgetting about the Dark Elves.

Chapter 658: Night Valley

Translator: Shiraishi Editor: TheAlliance

As a claw extended out of the Hell Gate, the Orachiss became furious. The relationship between the Abyss and Hell generally wasn't very good, and this was especially true for the Orachiss… Their relationship with hellish lifeforms was utterly bad.

They would fight to their last breath when encountering hellish lifeforms, ready to pay any price to destroy them all.

While the Orachiss' attention was on the Hell Gate, Lin Yun cast three more Askrim Gates in front of the Dark Elves to help protect them from the berserk spells.

Lin Yun then unhesitantly jumped into the teleportation array and disappeared…

Hellish lifeforms weren't anything good. Many mages used Hell Gates, but they usually only summoned lesser hellish lifeforms that they could control in order to research them. No one would try to use them as allies.

Because the overwhelming majority of summoned hellish lifeforms would first try to get rid of the mage that summoned them. Only by enslaving them would it be possible to get them to aid one in battle.

Thus, even if Lin Yun knew of the deadly enmity between Orachisses and hellish lifeforms, he didn't dare to use a Hell Gate in battle.

But it was different now. After going through the teleportation array, the battle that went on between them would have nothing to do with Lin Yun.

Furthermore, Lin Yun had put a lot of mana into this Hell Gate, but he had no clue what he had summoned.

The Dark Elves welcomed the breather that Lin Yun created for them. Without the suppression from the Orachiss' spells, and with the activated teleportation array near them, the Dark Elves didn't even need to think about what to do as they crazily rushed into the teleportation array.

Light flickered as all the Dark Elves disappeared into the teleportation array, while the Orachiss was fiercely raining spells down on the Hell Gate on the other side.

…

On a dark leaf continent, a teleportation array carved on a branch of the Wisdom Tree slowly lit up. With a burst of light, Enderfa and the others came out of it.

They were followed moments later by Lin Yun.

And the first thing Lin Yun did after coming out of that teleportation array was to release a few dozen Mage Eyes to scout the surroundings.

After making sure that there was no danger near them, he relaxed a bit. Xiuban sat on the ground and massaged his aching arms, while Zeuss smiled bitterly as he started recovering his mana.

Less than ten seconds later, the array lit up once more, and the Dark Elves came out.

After barely surviving that disaster and seeing Lin Yun again, the gazes of these Dark Elves no longer had any hostility. Not a single one of them could deny that if that young human hadn't cracked that teleportation array and released those defensive walls at the last moment, none of them would have had the opportunity to survive.

It was actually Enderfa that suddenly became alert after seeing these Dark Elves. He readied the Ten Thousand Spell Wheel to guard against a possible sneak attack.

Lin Yun gestured at Enderfa and didn't bother with the Dark Elves. He had casually saved them just now. He wasn't afraid that they would cross him.

With Elsa and Jeremy included, there were only a dozen Dark Elves still alive, most of whom were completely out of mana and barely standing.

Lin Yun ignored them and turned to look at the surroundings some more.

This was like a sealed word. Leaves and branches of the Wisdom Tree were covering the sky, blocking all the light from outside. Only some fluorescent vegetation was illuminating the interior with some faint light.

Ahead of them was a quiet valley with unknown depths. Both sides of the valley had sheer cliffs.

After turning around, they only saw a dead end. There was nothing besides that bright teleportation array.

A strange and deathly silent aura came from the valley, and there seemed to be a faint whimpering coming from it.

Lin Yun used Detect Life and Detect Undead, but neither of them sensed anything.

That strange feeling made them uncomfortable.

Lin Yun cast Mage Eyes to examine the valley's environment when Jeremy suddenly screamed, "Heavens, this is the Night Valley!"

He then pointed at Lin Yun with an angry look and yelled, "It's all your fault, you vile outsider! It wasn't enough to bury our people, but you also led us to this place, you…"

Lin Yun frowned and sneered, "Fool, I didn't force you to follow me! If you so wish, the teleportation array behind you has yet to close. You can go back, I'm sure the Orachiss will definitely welcome you. Moreover, pointing at me isn't something that anyone can do!"

The angry-looking Jeremy was somewhat puzzled as he saw a vivid and lifelike hand appear in front of his finger before grabbing it and bending it at a strange angle.

"Aaah!" Jeremy screamed. A magic pattern on his body starting to shine.

Enderfa floated in the air with an evil grin on his three faces as he was ready to make a move. The Ten Thousand Spell Wheel was slowly rotating…

Xiuban stood up and bared his teeth, lifting Carnage. Even Zeuss held his magic staff as he calmly looked at the dozen Dark Elves in front of him.

The fight could be triggered at any moment, when suddenly, Elsa's hand pressed on Jeremy's shoulder and pulled him back.

"Jeremy! Shut up!" the frail Elsa shouted.

Pain and fury flashed on Jeremy's face. He was about to say something, when Elsa icily cut him off. "You can go back if you wish!"

Jeremy opened his mouth, but as he recalled the terror of the Orachiss, he stopped himself.

Elsa turned her head and looked at Lin Yun with exhaustion. "Formidable Sir Mage, let me first express our thanks for the rescue. I was hot-headed before, and I apologize. Our losses are to be blamed on my recklessness…"

Elsa looked very depressed. Close to a thousand Dark Elves had died, with only a dozen remaining. This loss couldn't be described as just heavy…

Had it not been for her impulsively attacking, they wouldn't have drawn the Orachiss over.

"Please pardon Jeremy's offense. This place is the Night Valley and could be compared to the Orachiss in terms of danger."

Enderfa floated to Xiuban's side and softly whispered, "Xiuban, let me tell you something. These sl*ts won't understand your words unless you beat fear into them."

Xiuban was puzzled… He didn't understand why Enderfa was telling him that.

Lin Yun waved his arm, seeming to indicate for Elsa to continue speaking.

"In our clan's legends, the Night Valley is a forbidden area. Clansmen are forbidden from coming here, forbidden to even approach it. This place is very strange, as just approaching it could get you lost inside it, unable to ever come out.

"Every so often, a clansman disappears here, never to return. No one knows if these people are dead or alive. Even formidable magic beasts are never seen again after entering this place. This strangeness is why there are no magic beasts in its vicinity…

"Once, when my mother was being chased by enemies, a warrior of our clan sacrificed her life. She disguised herself as my mother and lured that group of enemies to the Night Valley, and they were never heard from again…"

Hearing this, Lin Yun frowned. When he looked around, he had already gotten a strange feeling about this place, but he hadn't expected it to be to this degree. Even a powerful magic beast's den wouldn't be this silent. What kind of thing was here?

If Elsa's words were true, then it was as dangerous as the Orachiss…

"Has anyone ever come out alive?" Lin Yun asked with a frown.

Elsa's face slightly regained some color. "There was! There once was a powerful mage that reached the Heaven Rank in our clan. While chasing a magic beast, he inadvertently came here and managed to leave the Night Canyon alive, even drawing a simple map of the Night Valley! The way out is…"

"What's the problem?" Lin Yun knew that it definitely wouldn't be this simple. If there was a path and a map that could easily let them escape, then this Night Valley wouldn't be so dangerous.

Sure enough, Elsa continued in an uncertain manner.

"There is a map, and I once curiously looked at it. But that formidable mage was suffering from a terrifying injury when he came back to the clan. After hastily drawing a simple map and adding some clues, he went insane. No one knows what kind of thing is inside, nor what he experienced, but after going crazy, he kept shouting all day to never approach the Night Valley…"

"And the exit that he marked is in the depths of the Night Valley…"

Lin Yun massaged his temples. Things were never easy… Detect Life hadn't detected the aura of life, while Detect Undead didn't find any trace of the Undead, so what was in the Night Valley?

He was getting a headache thinking about it, but they couldn't go back the way they came here.

Fortunately, this array was only three to four meters wide. No matter how much it squeezed, the Orachiss would never fit inside.

Chapter 659: Magic Pattern

Translator: Shiraishi Editor: TheAlliance

The Orachiss on the other side of the array was definitely enraged, especially after the Hell Gate was summoned.

Returning at this time would result in certain death.

"Let's go."

Although the Night Valley was strange, there was some hope that they could return alive through here, while the path behind them would absolutely lead to death. Lin Yun thought for a moment and decided to press onward.

The relationship with the Dark Elves had changed from being hostile to temporarily cooperating. Elsa was very wise and knew that they would only have hope if they followed Lin Yun. Their only asset was that they knew the map and the rough location of the exit.

The Night Valley was long and narrow, so maps didn't really have too much use. It would be enough to just continue forward, and they would eventually find the location of the exit.

The group rested at the entrance of the Night Valley, and once everyone had recovered their mana, they finally entered it.

After going in, Lin Yun clearly felt a strange aura permeating the air, but he couldn't put his finger on what that feeling was. He only felt that it was very evil. There was a layer of black clouds above his head, and the light of those fluorescent plants had dimmed.

Even the surrounding plants would be extremely sinister and monstrous. Some trees even had distorted human faces, and there were black flowers that looked like mournful heads of magic beasts.

The atmosphere was strange and deathly quiet, without the slightest hint of wind. Their footsteps were echoing like drums in this place, and their heartbeats could be heard from several meters away.

Lin Yun kept casting Mage Eyes, but the only things he saw in this desolate area were the remains of fallen leaves, forming the black soil. This soil made of leaves of the Wisdom Tree might possibly be the most fertile soil in the world.

Almost any plants could grow there, but as far as his Mage Eyes could see, let alone magic plants and plant-type magic beasts, there wasn't even any Moonlight Grass. Only some sinister-looking ordinary plants were growing here and there.

Suddenly, a Mage Eye flying ahead shattered. Lin Yun instantly waved his hand to motion for everyone to stop.

He summoned three Rock Puppets and had them walk forward.

After walking for over a hundred meters, one Rock Puppet seemed to have fallen into a pitfall, instantly sinking into the ground and disappearing. Less than a second later, Lin Yun lost his connection to that Rock Puppet.

Three seconds later, the 2nd Rocket Puppet also started sinking into the ground, apparently pulled down by something.

Lin Yun controlled the Rock Puppet to punch its fist into the earth. The next instant, a thick Earth Spike came out of the ground and impaled the Rock Puppet, leaving it hanging in midair.

Before the 3rd Rock Puppet met an issue, Lin Yun controlled it to frantically attack the ground.

Sure enough, after a few seconds, ripples appeared in the soil as black mud rushed out from the ground. Then, the mud changed into a person.

The human-shaped mud waved in the direction of the Rock Puppet and over a dozen one-meter long Wind Blades rushed out, instantly dismembering the puppet.

Slowly, the mud took shape of a vivid and lifelike Elf. After the mud was slowly removed, the appearance of a lifeless Dark Elf could be seen.

The appearance of that Dark Elf seemed to have set off chain reactions. Ripples started appearing on the black soil as pitch-black mounds of mud started taking the shape of people.

These Dark Elves appeared one after another as the mud shed off of each of them.

And behind them, even more mud started bubbling. In less than ten seconds, over three hundred Dark Elves had appeared, most of which had the power of 1st or 2nd Rank Archmages. Only a few among them were 4th or 5th Rank Archmages.

All the Dark Elves looked strange… Their eyes were pure grey, the sclera included, without any spark of life in them.

Everyone there felt creeped out.

Lin Yun used Detect Life, but there was no result.

He then cast Detect Undead, but they apparently weren't Undead.

"What the hell are these monsters? They aren't alive, and they aren't Undead! Are they some sort of living dead?!"

Lin Yun frowned, feeling quite annoyed. Especially since that strange feeling from earlier strengthened after the appearance of these Dark Elves.

A battle could break out at any moment. One of those Dark Elves raised his hand, and the magic pattern on his upper arm shone, causing a Dark Arrow to appear and fly towards Lin Yun's group.

The rest of these 'Living Dead' all started casting, and all sorts of magic patterns were activated, firing many different spells at Lin Yun's group.

Dark Arrow, Wind Blades, Fire Tornado, Hailstorm…

All kinds of spells were cast in a brainless manner. These Living Dead remained still, constantly casting spells.

Lin Yun raised his Draconic Staff and a light flashed. A blue Fireball that was dragging a long blue trail behind it fell in the center of those Living Dead.

"Boom!"

A fierce explosion echoed.

These Living Dead were blown to pieces.

After the pieces of corpses fell to the ground, they turned into black mud and merged with the soil. Shortly afterwards, the black mud bubbled out and turned into Dark Elves once again.

This group of tireless and crazily casting Dark Elves apparently didn't know what defense or evasion were.

In less than ten seconds, over a hundred of those Dark Elves were exterminated.

But in less than three seconds, black mud surged out of the floor, forming them yet again.

And even more of them appeared. Their numbers kept increasing, and now, there were already over five hundred of those Dark Elves.

After killing these five hundred Dark Elves twice, everyone felt their scalp explode.

Lin Yun felt goosebumps. These brainless Dark Elves weren't defending at all. They just kept frantically casting spells and reviving after they died.

Not worrying about the consumption, not worrying about the defense, and not worrying about death. All their power was used in their reckless casting, suppressing their opponents with the endless flood of spells.

Everyone understood that if it continued, they would eventually die after being exhausted.

At this time, Elsa seemed to have seen something, which made her exclaim, "Uncle Clark!"

One of the Dark Elves in the distance was quite conspicuous. He was holding a vine staff and wearing a pointy hat, and he had a long beard that reached his chest.

Moreover, he was an 8th Rank Archmage. From his aura alone, he felt closer to a 9th Rank Archmage!

Lin Yun had a headache… An 8th Rank Archmage that was unafraid of death, with no need to defend or move… Such a foe would bring pressure comparable to a 9th Rank Archmage.

But Lin Yun saw deep fear in Elsa's eyes, and his heart skipped a beat.

"What is it?"

Elsa's voice was trembling as she explained, "He once was the leader of my mother's personal guards and had vanished after inadvertently coming here. I never expected to see him again…

"Uncle Clark once had a very fortuitous encounter, and after passing a test established by the former generation, he obtained a magic pattern spell slot for an Ultimate 6th Tier Fire Spell.

Hearing this, Lin Yun's expression slightly changed.

'Damn, it's too troublesome…'

How could Lin Yun not know what magic pattern spell slots were!?

This was an overpowered trick of the Dark Elves!

After gaining a complete understanding of spells, Dark Elves would form an ultimate magic pattern and could use it to cast that spell. Using that magic pattern would allow the instant cast of an Ultimate Spell, which could already be rated as terrifying.

But some powerful Dark Elves who had deeply researched and comprehended a spell could pass their magic pattern on as an inherited Magic Tool!

After going through a trial set up by the Elders, that ultimate magic pattern could become an ultimate magic pattern on the body of their successor.

And after the inheritance, this ultimate magic pattern would undergo a transformation. The original spell would disappear to turn into a pure ultimate magic pattern's spell slot.

For example, if a 6th Tier Fire God Spear ultimate magic pattern was passed as an inheritance, it would transform into an ultimate magic pattern spell slot, and the Dark Elf wouldn't be limited to the Fire God Spear!

Rather, any 6th Tier fire spell could be used in that slot!

This would allow any 6th Tier fire spell to reach the power of an 8th Tier Spell. The characteristic of Ultimate Spells made them display the power that ordinary spells couldn't.

The power that an Ultimate 6th Tier Spell displayed would definitely exceed most 8th Tier Spells!

Chapter 660: Don't Be Impulsive

Translator: Shiraishi Editor: TheAlliance

Archmages could use 7th and 8th Tier Spells, but to use an 8th Tier Spell in battle, they needed to be at least at the 9th Rank of the Archmage realm.

And most 9th Rank Archmages didn't have the ability to use an 8th Tier Spell in battle. To have such a capability, one would have to be on the level of Star Sage Jouyi.

Similarly, comprehending a 6th Tier Ultimate Spell was only possible for those on the same level as Star Sage Jouyi, those with one step in the Heaven realm!

As for Archmages under Star Sage Jouyi's level, they had a very low chance of understanding a 6th Tier Ultimate Spell. Such a figure might not appear within ten thousand years.

Lin Yun looked at the old Dark Elf in the distance and had a headache.

'Damnit, this is too much… Fire spells are among the most powerful types of spells, and that guy has a 6th Rank ultimate magic pattern spell slot… Who knows what spells he will use?'

Without knowing what spells the other side would use, blocking that 6th Tier Ultimate Spell was almost impossible.

'8th Tier Spell… Aaah…"

Lin Yun's heart shook. The difference between 7th Tier Spells and 8th Tier Spells was like the difference between 1st Rank Archmages and 9th Rank Archmages.

Lin Yun could very easily take on 7th Tier Spells, even a few of the 7th Tier Spells cast by the Orachiss. But 8th Tier Spells? No way…

That was something that already overpowered technique, control, and magic.

Just like the Apocalypse Spell the Orachiss had cast. That was an 8th Tier Spell…

The power could be rated as heaven-defying. It couldn't be blocked by spells, and neither could it be dodged. It was a dead end.

He definitely couldn't let that 6th Tier Ultimate Spell be cast!

But then, Lin Yun suddenly saw Clark stop casting his spell, and a flaming magic pattern on his forehead slowly shone.

A rich aura of fire soared as the thickness and activity of fire elements in the air increased at a quick pace.

Lin Yun used his Magic Array to study a wisp of the aura and instantly deduced the outcome.

This was a 6th Tier Ultimate Fire Spell.

The few hundred Dark Elves in the front were still crazily casting, suppressing everyone on the spot. They were simply unable to break through. If Clarke wasn't interrupted, they would all perish…

"Quick! Interrupt him! Or we are all dead!" Elsa screeched with an alarmed voice as she couldn't remain calm. She cast all of her spells at Clark, regardless of their consumption.

Enderfa, the puppet, Lin Yun, and everyone crazily cast spells at Clark.

But all the spells were intercepted halfway. Those Living Dead squeezed their magic patterns, unafraid of death, and with the few hundred of them, the power and quantity of spells were comparable to a thousand Dark Elves going all-out…

Not a single spell landed on Clark.

The ultimate magic pattern spell slot that Clark inherited wasn't his own, after all. Without comprehending it, he couldn't instant-cast that spell. All his power was used to rouse the ultimate magic pattern, which couldn't be done while defending.

But even so, the time required to release a 6th Tier Ultimate Spell was far less than the time needed to cast an 8th Tier Spell…

He didn't have the restriction of casting normally and didn't need to spend so much effort on comprehension. Also, spells like Counterspell had no effect on him because it was cast through a magic pattern.

The only way to stop it was to kill Clark before he finished casting!

That was the only way they could interrupt that 6th Tier Ultimate Spell!

After two seconds, Lin Yun calculated that with their current power, they wouldn't be able to kill him before he finished casting.

Lin Yun had a gloomy expression as he instantly disappeared.

In the Demiplane, Lin Yun calmly appeared before the two Ancestor Souls…

The Three-Eyed Secret Wolf was yawning on a huge rock, an impatient expression on his face.

Under the rock, Cooper and Galekuch were still kneeling in worship, continuously praising and revering the Wolf God. The Ox Beastman, Cooper, had a pious expression on his face as he continuously repeated the same words.

On the other side, Galekuch was clearly smarter. While remaining respectful, he kept using all kinds of conditions to try to entice the Three-Eyed Secret Wolf. He was even using a lot of words to try to brainwash him, wanting to change the mind of the little wolf.

Unfortunately, it was of no use. Although the little guy wasn't attacking them, he didn't have a good attitude towards them.

These two Ancestor Souls knew of the small wolf's interest in mana crystals, but they didn't even have a level 1 mana crystal. They were poor, and words didn't work.

There was no such thing as a magic beast in this demiplane, and even if hunting for mana crystals was a possibility, there were actually a lot of mana crystals in that mana pond.

Unfortunately, the little wolf had no interest in those.

Also, Lin Yun had already stated that every single thing in this place was his. Not asking them to pay for living there was already nice enough, so they didn't dare to cause trouble, afraid that Lin Yun would become hostile and kick them out.

Lin Yun suddenly appeared, his body still emitting fierce mana fluctuations, showing that he was clearly in a battle.

The impatient little wolf's eyes shone, and he instantly rushed into Lin Yun's embrace, his claws skillfully probing their way into a pocket.

After getting hold of two level 25 mana crystals, the small wolf was beaming with joy as he crouched on Lin Yun's shoulder, nibbling on one of them.

This scene made the two Ancestor Souls lament. They had been racking their brains to brainwash the little wolf for over a month. But after so long, their efforts couldn't even compare to Lin Yun's two mana crystals.

Lin Yun ignored the little wolf, and still frowning, he didn't beat around the bush as he told the two Ancestor Souls, "I met a very troublesome opponent and I need your assistance."

Two streams of smoke came out of Cooper's nostrils as he rebuked, "We are busy! We are attending to the Wolf God. Don't disturb us! It would be best if you died because when you die, our honorable Wolf God will be completely free!"

Cooper glared at Lin Yun. He had no intention to help Lin Yun, and he even directly spoke his thoughts. The honorable Wolf God becoming a pet was something he couldn't accept. But that human was no pushover, and the Wolf God was standing over there, so attacking him was definitely out of the question.

But if someone else got rid of him, Cooper definitely would cheer from the side.

Lin Yun ignored the stubborn Cooper and turned towards Galekuch.

Galekuch had an awkward expression on his face. "We previously came to an agreement that we would only attend to the Wolf God. We don't care about the rest. We aren't your enemies, but we also aren't taking orders from you, those are the conditions of our previous agreement!"

Galekuch flatly reminded him of this, saying that they wouldn't lend a hand.

Cooper sneered and shrugged before adding, "Die fast! You should hurry up and get killed!"

The situation outside was extremely dangerous, so how could Lin Yun have time to discuss conditions with these two Ancestor Souls? He lifted the small wolf by the neck and carried him in his embrace, sneering as he looked at the two Ancestor Souls.

"Okay, you guys don't have to help me. But the little wolf lives in my place, and his food and drinks are mine. As my pet, when the master comes across danger, it is normal for him to help me, what do you think? You can face death with your loved ones, right? It's a 6th Tier ultimate magic pattern spell slot, after all. At least the small wolf and I will die together!"

After saying this, Lin Yun opened the Demiplane and already started putting one foot through the Planar Path.

Hearing Lin Yun's words, the two Ancestor Souls' eyes burst with fright and they unhesitantly blocked Lin Yun's path.

Cooper recalled his big totem and looked at Lin Yun's with red eyes.

"Stupid Human! Put down the Wolf God or I'll break all your bones today!"

Galekuch held his Lightning Staff, but he was clearly smarter, as he instantly understood. If Lin Yun wanted to leave the Demiplane like that, he would instantly leave. He didn't need to open his Planar Path… He was clearly forcing their hands.

But he also saw the Three-Eyed Secret Wolf nestled in Lin Yun's embrace baring his fangs, very much in favor of following Lin Yun. He had an expression saying that whoever harmed his master would be put to death with his own fangs.

Cooper's hands kept smacking the totem, getting angrier and angrier, almost going berserk. He obviously wanted to attack, but he was scared of injuring the Wolf God. He needed to stop the Wolf God from taking risks, but he couldn't find a way with his stiff brain, so he could only irritably slam his totem.

Galekuch noticed Lin Yun's frown and knew that he must have met great trouble, so he pulled Cooper back and immediately waved at Lin Yun.

"Don't be impulsive! I'll help you, so put down the Wolf God, I'll help!"

Galekuch was scared witless. He knew that Lin Yun was manipulating him, but he didn't dare to gamble or even delay. Who knew if Lin Yun would suddenly change his mind and take the Wolf God out the next second?

Especially since he heard Lin Yun's words. Galekuch couldn't afford that bet… A 6th Tier ultimate magic pattern spell slot… Against this kind of thing, let alone Lin Yun, even the Ancestor Souls with their almost undying bodies might not be able to survive. If the Wolf God went out, he would definitely not come back…

Lin Yun stuffed a mana crystal in the little wolf's mouth and threw the little wolf out before leaving the Demiplane.

Galekuch immediately followed. After seeing the situation, Galekuch was startled, especially when he looked at Clark casting that 6th Tier Ultimate Spell.

Chapter 661: Legendary Shaman

Translator: Shiraishi Editor: TheAlliance

All kinds of spells kept flying across the battlefield. Elemental storms formed in the area between Lin Yun and the Living Dead from the intertwining spells. Even if these elemental storms couldn't explode, they were still forcibly pushed back from the continuously cast spells.

The magic pattern on Clark's forehead seemed to already be shining, and layers of flames were moving along the magic pattern.

Terrifying mana fluctuations spread from there, and everyone could see that this 6th Tier Ultimate Spell was about to be released!

Elsa was leading the remaining Dark Elves, and while clenching her teeth, she released all the mana in her body. Not one magic pattern on her body remained lit after that, as she had released all the spells that could be released at once.

Enderfa's expression distorted as he controlled the Ten Thousand Spell Wheel and cast spells with all his strength, releasing several 5th Tier and 6th Tier spells every instant.

The Molten Core's mana had originally exceeded the limits of what the Ten Thousand Spell Wheel could use, so its mana was in a constant state of overflow. But now, that ravaging Molten Core had actually dimmed. This mana consumption had caused the Molten Core to overdraft.

Even Zeuss, with his meager power, was on the verge of exhaustion, but he couldn't pose a threat to Clark. All the spells being cast by that wall of the Living Dead surpassed what they could output by a few times!

While everyone was despairing, Lin Yun came back with Galekuch.

As soon as he appeared, Galekuch immediately raised his hands and solemnly chanted an ancient and desolate Beastman song in a loud voice.

A wisp of power that seemed to pierce through time slowly spread as Galekush sang.

That power carried intense desolation and gloominess. It filled everyone's bodies, making them all feel heartbroken and sad from the bottom of their souls as they seemed to see a somber scene.

In a desolate desert, countless wounded Beastmen were crouching on the ground with unyielding expressions, their eyes carrying heavy sorrow. They were in front of crude tombs made out of rocks.

Next to those crude tombs were tattered banners, and there were flies buzzing about and vultures circling above them in the sky.

The unpleasant cawing of Crows kept echoing.

On a rough altar, a teary shaman was raising his withered hands while chanting a desolate song.

With that chant, the mass of resentment, death aura, unwillingness, and wrath above the tombs started dissipating.

Transparent souls of Beastmen flew out from the graves and turned into rays of light that flew towards the horizon.

"… You are the one bearing the unyielding backbone of our race…

"… Under the heavens, above the earth, Beastmen will never yield…

"… Using blood and power, ceremony…"

Following Galekush's song, the movements of those lifeless Dark Elves became sluggish, and many of them even showed expressions of pain.

The ultimate magic pattern on Clark's forehead started fluctuating, and the terrifying power slowly condensed.

The 6th Tier Spell that was about to be cast started fluctuating. By the time Galekuch finished chanting that strange song, they saw a flowing light fly out of the magic pattern and disappear into the horizon.

Clark's spell came out.

But the 6th Tier Ultimate Spell had become an ordinary 6th Tier Spell.

A formidable rain of fire dropped from the sky. The man-sized balls of fire with black patterns looked like a fusion of fire and lava.

The balls of fire constantly exploded, but they were easily blocked by Lin Yun.

A few hundred of the listless Dark Elves were struggling. Their casting had stopped, and expressions of pain could be seen on their faces.

Enderfa used a large amount of mana to pressure them even more. In less than ten seconds, those defenseless Dark Elves were completely overwhelmed by the flood of spells.

Lin Yun chanted three characters, and lights flashed from his Draconic Staff as three Fire God Spears dropped from the sky.

The lifeless Clark didn't dodge, and a Fire God Spear pierced his chest, nailing him to the ground. The remaining two Fire God Spears also followed the first and pierced Clark's body, forming three fist-sized holes in it.

Each Fire God Spear was impaling a vital part of Clark's body.

But then, golden-red flames started moving towards Clark. One illusory phantom after another flew out of Clark's body… Those were the Dark Elves' souls.

These souls seemed to be free of their worries as they flew out, disappearing into the distance.

Ultimately, Clark's eyes regained some vigor. He looked at Elsa in the distance and mumbled in a hoarse voice, "Princess, how could you be here?"

Then, Clark seemed to have think of something and fear appeared on his face as he loudly shouted, "Princess, hurry up and go! There is a sinister existence in the depths of the Night Valley, it's very dangerous! Hurry up and go! Leave this place, quick!"

Before he could finish his words, an illusory soul floated out of Clark's body and disappeared along with the rest of them.

Then, everyone saw Clark's body somehow melting. His appearance became indistinct and his body turned into black mud that fell to the ground and fused with the earth.

Elsa looked at Clark's disappearance with sadness. Those Dark Elves were also foolishly looking at the ground. Those once-living Dark Elves had turned into the Living Dead after entering this place.

Sacrificing one's life in battle or while defending one's home were honorable paths, but this kind of state where they could neither seek death nor life was quite sorrowful.

Lin Yun sighed in relief as the crisis was dealt with.

When he heard from Elsa that Clark had a 6th Tier ultimate magic pattern spell slot, he understood many of the issues.

Such as why these Living Dead couldn't be killed at all, why Clark hadn't died once since he appeared, and why those Dark Elves were defending Clark.

It wasn't to give Clark the opportunity to use a 6th Tier Ultimate Spell, but rather because the souls of these Dark Elves were within Clark's body.

These controlled Dark Elves were immortal, and only by killing Clark could they truly die.

But the problem was that Clark had the opportunity to release a 6th Tier Ultimate Spell, which was a terrifying power. As long as Clark succeeded, even if Lin Yun's group survived, they wouldn't be that far from death.

The power of a 6th Rank Ultimate Spell wasn't something they could handle.

And hearing Elsa's words, especially about the inheritance, Lin Yun was able to understand what was happening with the help of his Magic Array.

The soul of an ancestor was hidden in that magic pattern. It was only a part of the ancestor's soul, but it was actually a critical part for casting the 6th Tier Ultimate Spell.

To be precise, Clark was the one supplying mana while the ancestor's soul was using the 6th Tier Ultimate Spell.

Thus, it needed time.

And no one knew the power of ancestors better than the Beastmen. Especially that Beastman Shaman, as this was power he was proficient in, ancestors and souls. All Shamans would have that kind of power!

Lin Yun brought Galekuch along to interrupt Clark's casting. Only Galekuch, who had mastered the power of ancestors and souls, could interrupt the casting of that soul.

But he hadn't expected that Galekuch, who was originally a Lightning Shaman that specialized in battle, would actually possess Soul Suppressing Warsong.

This Warsong was able to put the soul fragment left behind in the magic pattern to rest.

Without the control of that soul fragment, the ultimate magic pattern was completely crippled, making it so that the spell released was an ordinary 6th Tier Spell.

At that point, the fight was already over. As soon as Clark was killed, the deadlock would be broken and all the Living Dead would finally die.

Lin Yun turned to look at Galekuch. Grief could still be seen in the eyes of that short Beastman Shaman.

"Galekuch Warren. I truly didn't expect you to be the Legendary Beastman Shaman, the creator of the Soul Suppressing Song!"

Lin Yun couldn't help being surprised. Those that could be considered Legends among Beastmen completely couldn't compare to other races, especially those legendary combatants. Every single one was a first-rate Beastman fighter, and they could all lead the Beastmen into a flourishing era.

Shamans were sages, they were guides… They weren't people who carried reputation and fame.

In the previous era, there were only two or three famous Legendary Shamans that could be remembered by Humans, one of which was Soul Suppressing Song Warren!

Galekuch Warren!

In those days, an Undead Eye appeared in the territory of the Beastmen and a large number of the Undead appeared. Countless Beastmen fought to the death, but they ended up turning into the Undead too.

These Beastmen were naturally-born warriors, and they were even more troublesome after becoming Undead.

The damage to the Beastmen got worse and worse, up until Shaman Galekuch stepped forward and used the Soul Suppressing Song to appease the souls of the fallen Beastmen.

Chapter 662: Illusion

Translator: Shiraishi Editor: TheAlliance

Even in the face of a large-scale attack by the Undead, he led a large group of Beastman Shamans to intercept them in order to protect the people in the back. With the aid of those other Beastman Shamans, he used his life and power in order to chant a Soul Suppressing Song, getting rid of over 200,000 of the Undead at once!

Lin Yun hadn't expected his soul to actually attach itself to the Ancestor Totem.

But thinking of Galekuch's contributions to the Beastman race, there had to be many Beastmen that worshiped him. Having so much power as an Ancestor Soul was quite normal, and at his peak, he might have been only a step away from the Heaven Rank.

Lin Yun couldn't help exclaiming in admiration. This really was a Beastman Shaman worth respecting.

Galekuch, when hearing Lin Yun's reaction, wasn't the least bit happy. It looked like the song he had just sung brought back unhappy memories.

"This isn't a Soul Suppressing Song, it is a Memorial Song," Galekuch quietly said.

He then turned and went back to the Demiplane.

Lin Yun closed the entrance to the Demiplane, not caring about the two Ancestor Souls' renewed attempts to brainwash the young wolf. He owed a big favor the Galekuch this time. It wouldn't have been easy for Lin Yun to handle such a situation. Besides forcibly resisting, he didn't have a lot of methods.

He was still wondering what Cooper's identity was. Being able to stand next to the Legendary Shaman Galekuch Warren, Cooper definitely shouldn't be a nameless nobody.

Unfortunately, there were a lot more famous fighters than Shamans, and there were naturally more among the Ox Beastmen since they were physically stronger. Lin Yun couldn't guess what Cooper's family name was, especially since the names of different Beastmen usually weren't too different. There were even seven or eight Beastman powerhouses with the same name recorded in history.

The deadly battle just now made everyone collapse, especially the Dark Elves. They were all sitting on the ground, clearly exhausted.

Half of the Molten Heart's mana had been used by Enderfa, and Reina was also gasping for air. Casting spells so intensely for a prolonged period of time was very hard, even for a Dragon.

The spells cast by the puppet started weakening due to the Hydra Heart being unable to keep up with the mana output.

The weakest, Zeuss, had already swallowed a few mana potions to recover his mana.

The group spent some time to regain their mana until everyone had more or less recovered.

As their side rested, Jeremy angrily rushed towards Lin Yun.

"Outsider, I saw through your malicious intentions! You are definitely under the control of that evil existence and want us to throw away our lives in the depths of the Night Canyon!" Jeremy's eyes were filled with fear as he recalled those Dark Elves that had become the Living Dead. That fear came from the depths of his soul and was gnawing at him from inside.

Jeremy had already lost all reason, and Lin Yun, who had always been walking in the front, had naturally become the person of choice for him to vent his fear…

Lin Yun's expression turned cold.

"F*ck off then!"

Elsa promptly grabbed the irrational Jeremy and pulled him back.

"What kind of bullsh*t are you talking about!? It's clearly written in the records of our clan that to leave the Night Valley, we can only go through its depths! That's the only way out!"

Jeremy still wanted to say something but was forced back by Elsa.

Then, Elsa bitterly smiled at Lin Yun and apologized. "I'm really sorry, Jeremy saw the miserable condition of our fellow Dark Elves and it was hard on him…"

Lin Yun waved his hand to stop Elsa and sneered, "I'll only say this once. Whoever doesn't want to follow can leave immediately, but whoever tries to put the blame on us… Well, you can't blame me for not warning you!"

Elsa bitterly smiled, she was the only able to see it. Although Lin Yun generally spoke politely, he wouldn't hesitate to be ruthless when he attacked.

Soon, everyone was on the way, but this time, they were all on alert.

The speed at which they advanced had become very slow because Lin Yun kept ten Rock Puppet in a formation as pathfinders.

After a bit over a kilometer, the black land ahead of them turned into a quagmire. Nothing could be seen from its surface. Even the extraordinarily strong Rock Puppet couldn't struggle free. Three seconds later, it was swallowed into the ground and Lin Yun could no longer sense it.

Everyone looked as if they had encountered a huge enemy, but nothing appeared. After probing twice, he cast Levitation on two Rock Puppets and had them float over the quagmire.

Nothing came out of the ground when he did it twice.

At that time, Lin Yun was sure that there were no enemies underneath and that it was only a relatively well-hidden swamp.

Everyone began carefully walking through the quagmire, but before they got far, they saw a weed-like plant that instantly gathered together into a big maw like a carnivorous plant, swallowing over half of a Rock Puppet.

Sounds came from the inside of the plant, and after a few seconds, over half of the Rock Puppet's body fell down due to corrosion.

Everyone felt a chill when they saw that.

And the further they walked, the quieter it became. This place was filled with the aura of death, as if the air had already died and wasn't even flowing.

Even as they walked past, they didn't create any airflow…

But even so, they could still faintly hear some faint whisper-like sounds similar to ghastly laughter.

Occasionally, they would meet some magic beasts that had been turned into the Living Dead, or Dark Elves, or even some other races.

But these lifeforms were devoid of expression.

The most formidable enemy they met was level 37, which was far less threatening than Clark.

Every time, they would quickly take care of these Living Dead, but no one felt relaxed.

After going through half of the ravine, Lin Yun suddenly frowned. He inquired in a low voice, "Did you feel it? My mana suddenly became a bit chaotic…"

As soon as Lin Yun said that, Zeuss answered with a shocked expression, "You feel that too? I feel my mana constantly fluctuating, and I can't calm it down!"

Lin Yun looked at the others and confirmed that everyone had the same feeling.

The aura in the air was getting thicker and thicker, and even a wisp of power would silently affect them. They all felt that they couldn't calm their mana even though they weren't fighting. It seemed that there was a wisp of some sort of power corroding their mana.

Sure enough, the deeper they went, the more out-of-control their mana got. Ultimately, everyone had to consciously suppress their mana.

After a while, a few Dark Elves suddenly appeared in front of them, followed by various kinds of magic beasts and even some Abyssal Demons…

The appearance of those Demons with long, sharp horns caused Lin Yun's mana to start surging from his body. In a split second, Lin Yun was ready to fight.

But then, something appeared in the sky. A Bone Frost Dragon wordlessly flew over, its eye sockets burning with soul fires that attentively watched the crowd underneath.

"Wait!" Just as the nervous group was about to start fighting, Lin Yun suddenly frowned and shouted.

He cast Detect Life and Detect Undead, but he got no results from the ten meters ahead of him.

"It's an illusion…"

Lin Yun had seen no flaw with the silent appearance of those magic beasts and Dark Elves because they looked like the Living Dead with their lifeless eyes.

But these long-horned Reapers had malicious gazes, and the black smoke around their bodies was perfectly imitated.

Unfortunately, Lin Yun clearly knew that the biggest hobby of Reapers was cutting down the heads of all living creatures. This was a kind of instinct deep within their blood. The cruel Reapers' killing addiction was something that even Demon Overlords couldn't force them to suppress.

During Abyssal Wars, armies made up of Reapers would never be among other Demons, because once the war started, Reapers would recklessly behead anyone without distinction.

It was to the point that when they lost their minds, Reapers could also duel each other. The victor would not only behead his opponent, but he would also take the skull collection of the other side.

Because the number and the rank of the heads were the wealth of Reapers, the things that they used for worship, sacrifice and transactions were the heads of all kinds of lifeforms.

These Reapers were obviously not the Living Dead, so how could they let those heads go?

As for that Bone Frost Dragon, there was an even bigger flaw…

It was too peaceful, to the point where it didn't even have the aura of death.

Bone Frost Dragons were Dragons that had become Higher Undead after death, and the weakest would be at level 39. Most Bone Frost Dragons were at the Heaven Rank…

Even Reina's father, if he became one of the Undead, would definitely become a Heaven Rank Bone Frost Dragon. As for Reina, she wasn't qualified to become a Bone Frost Dragon after death.

Such a powerful monster had wordlessly appeared out of nowhere, and it didn't make a single sound after appearing. This was definitely impossible!

Hearing Lin Yun say that this was an illusion, everyone was relieved. The Dark Elves were ready to move forward again.

But Lin Yun controlled the Rock Puppet to move towards those illusions with a serious expression on his face.

Chapter 663: Lesson

Unsurprisingly, those lifelike illusions didn't move at all. The Rock Puppet went through the Reapers' bodies, but suddenly, Lin Yun lost contact with that Rock Puppet.

Everyone could see the Rock Puppet's body being split in two, a thin black crack in between the two halves.

"Damn, a spatial crack!" Enderfa let out an alarmed shout.

Those Dark Elves' pale complexion turned pale blue, they were terrified.

Lin Yun was sweating, this was really a strange place, the silence made everyone scared, and there was such a sinister trap left!

There had been a large amount of illusions, first the Dark Elves, then magic beasts, followed by the Reapers…

In all fairness, with Lin Yun's group power, their first instinct wouldn't be to run, but to kill their way in.

Had it not been for the pathfinder Rock Puppets going ahead of the others, by the time Lin Yun's group walked over, they would have ended being shocked by the Bone Dragon.

They would have doubtless started a battle!

But who knew which monster was fake and which one was real. If a spell hit one of the spatial cracks behind the illusions, the surge of mana might have warped them.

If spatial cracks roused by mana collided against each other in this narrow path, it might create a chaotic space, possibly even triggering a spatial storm.

Even Heaven Rank powerhouse would want to avoid sharp spatial storms. If it came to it, this two-kilometers wide area would end up razed to the ground…

Cold sweat was dripping down Lin Yun's forehead. He summoned a few more Rock Puppets and had them form a wall, before using them to figure out a safe path.

These spatial cracks were as thin as hair, as if they had been forcibly stretched there. It was such a sinister trap, not to mention, the area was extremely dark, discerning the black of the spatial cracks in this darkness was impossible!

Even probing spells wouldn't work, they could only rely on that simplistic method to find a safe path.

Snap…

A sharp noise echoed as one Rock Puppet was suddenly split in two.

Seeing this scene, the Dark Elves' legs started shaking. Even Xiuban, this thick-skinned Beastman was sweating profusely.

After summoning a few dozen Rock Puppets and having them walk through every single meter of that area, all the spatial cracks had been discovered. At that time, Lin Yun looked at the Dark Elves.

Jeremy immediately hurried to say, "You go first."

Lin Yun sneered with disdain.

Enderfa rebuked, "Are tricks needed to get rid of a small fry like you?"

Lin Yun let this go and cautiously led everyone through this quagmire.

After passing through the pitfall, Lin Yun felt his back being soaked from cold sweat, and mocking laughters seemed to be echoing beside his ears. Those illusions were still grinning grimly from the quagmire. It was unknown what they were laughing at, but it had no effect on Lin Yun's heart…

Lin Yun's group moved out first while Elsa and the Dark Elves safely came out a bit later. Jeremy gloomily looked at Lin Yun, sweating buckets. He regretted letting Lin Yun come here first. If Lin Yun did anything there, it would be too easy for him to die.

After uncomfortably passing through this pitfall, Jeremy limply walked on the ground and gasped for air, his eyes slightly unfocused.

Lin Yun ignored Jeremy and turned to look at the spacious area. This was already the depths of the Night Valley.

The depths of the long and narrow valley were still pitch-black and couldn't be seen clearly. Even the released Mage Eyes slowly lost contact after flying for a few hundred meters, apparently swallowed by this gloomy darkness.

Their movement speed had greatly slowed.

They were all moving forward one step after the other, their mana becoming even more chaotic, more and more illusions continuously appearing. There was even a force silently influencing their mind, making everyone see different illusions.

"Thud thud…"

"Thud thud…"

After walking a bit more, everyone used Spirit Defenses, but Lin Yun felt something different. The whispers in his ears seemed to be pulsating like a heartbeat, moreover, the sound was becoming louder and louder.

It was faintly discernible from the start, but only now did Lin Yun discovered that this sound wasn't a hallucination…

Feeling that drum-like oppressive heartbeat, Lin Yun felt the mumbling in his ears becoming clearer and clearer, as if a formless power kept infiltrating his mind, making him have some kind of urging desire.

At this time, Lin Yun released eight Spirit Defenses, his complexion very red, his heart crazily speeding up, as if it was about to explode.

Lin Yun gasped for air, immediately watching the others with flushed complexions. They all looked towards the depths of the Night Valley, stretching their hands as if they wanted to grab something.

Lin Yun continuously used Spirit Defenses on everyone while loudly shouting, using a Wake Spell.

The invisible soundwaves passed through everyone's ears, making them feel as if their brain was about to explode.

Invisible power pierced through everyone's ears, it was as if they had just recovered from a dream.

But Xiuban suddenly roared and swung his Carnage to attack the surroundings.

"Syudos! Your uncle Xiuban isn't scared of you! Come die, your uncle has already reached the point where he can't be killed!"

Xiuban's eyes were completely red, his chest heaving up and down, his heartbeat loudly echoing. The heavy heartbeat was synchronized with that sound.

Carnage was displaying terrifying power in Xiuban's hands, the forceful momentum turned into a whirlwind in this deathly silent place. The floor shook as Carnage hit the floor.

The completely unguarded puppet was smashed head-on, flying out several dozen meters after taking Xiuban's blow.

Those Dark Elves looked at Xiuban with fear, promptly retreating. At this time, they realized how frightening that Beastman, that they had never put in their eyes, was.

Lin Yun frowned, and a blue Fireball exploded on Xiuban's body.

"Boom boom…"

Two explosions echoed as Xiuban was sent flying. But before he fell to the ground, Lin Yun sent Syudos over.

Syudos transformed into a Flame Shackles and coiled around Xiuban's body, suspending him in midair. Moreover, a flaming whip lashed at Xiuban's body.

After a few lashes, Xiuban, who had been influenced by that sinister power woke up while screaming.

"Sir Syudos, I wouldn't dare! Sir Merlin, quick, stop him…"

Sure enough, it might be better to have Syudos beat Xiuban up than using Spirit Defenses on him…

Only a few lashes had already triggered his instincts and immediately pulled Xiuban back from the land of illusion.

Lin Yun waved his hand and had Syudos threw Xiuban down.

After standing up, Xiuban apprehensively looked at Lin Yun, apparently wanting to say something, but Lin Yun stopped him.

Xiuban sighed in relief, fear visible in his eyes. He roused his mind, afraid that he would fail to keep himself together again.

In the illusion, he kept breaking through, and before Lin Yun broke through to the Heaven Rank, Xiuban was already a Heaven Rank powerhouse. Xiuban immediately got carried away and felt that he could beat Syudos.

Unfortunately, after going this far, he was awakened by Syudos' beating.

Xiuban couldn't help inwardly sighing, that feeling was really good. He felt that if he kept walking, he would obtain that power at the end of the Night Valley.

He knew that it was an evil temptation, an illusion, but he couldn't help thinking about it.

How could Lin Yun not know how formidable that temptation was, after secretly invading their mind, once everyone was relieved after escaping the pitfall, with one move, it would pull people into illusions.

Everyone was clear-headed at this moment, they were all scared, but while being scared, some still had some expectations and regrets.

This was a power Lin Yun wanted to avoid, like a snake, it made his spine feel cold.

It was too frightening, even knowing that it was fake, it still made people yearn for it.

Meeting such a strange thing, even Enderfa's face became unsightly, because he had almost fell into the illusion just now.

A large amount of Spirit Defenses buffed everyone, and in addition to these Spirit Defenses, everyone was using magic shields as they moved forward, Lin Yun even had his Ice Fire Shield activated.

The Fire Shield and the Ice Shield revolved around Lin Yun, guarding him against any possible danger.

"Hisss…"

After walking for a long time, a small noise echoed in everyone's ears. That sound carried a peculiar power that made everyone feel as if there was a slippery viper softly wiggling around their necks.

Moreover, that heartbeat sound echoed louder and louder, that sound couldn't be completely blocked by the Spirit Defenses, and they simply couldn't figure out where it came from.

Every heartbeat felt like a loud explosion in their minds.

Chapter 664: Soul Burning Fire

Translator: Shiraishi Editor: TheAlliance

After going through the swamp, a Dark Elf's expression kept changing, and as if she was unable to resist any longer, she shouted and rushed back into the swamp, disappearing in an instant.

Even Lin Yun didn't have enough time to rescue her, the spells that fell onto that seemingly ordinary swamp had no effect. The most powerful spells couldn't even splatter mud around.

This was already the depths of the Night Valley. It could already be seen in the distance that the depths of the valley was a deadend.

The perfectly straight cliff-like trunk of the wisdom Tree stood tall in the depths.

"We are almost there, the notes mention that there is a jungle in the deepest part of the Night Valley, and in that jungle, there is a teleportation array. That's the only way out of the Night Valley."

Elsa looked a bit happy as she pointed in the distance.

Everyone smiled when the exit was mentioned, one of the Dark Elves even started laughing heartily.

"Hahaha…"

At first, no one felt anything wrong about it, after going through that calamity and walking in this dangerous place, it was normal for that Dark Elf to be unable to hold it and lose their self-control.

But as seconds passed, that Dark Elf's smile grew wider and more exaggerated, her eyes were wide open, and so was her mouth, her laughter also became discontinuous as she appeared to have issues breathing.

After a few more seconds, that Dark Elf's complexion turned from pale to dark purple and she fell to the ground, her body continuously shivering, both hands covering her mouth, as if she wanted to stop herself from laughing.

This strange scene chilled everyone's hearts. A Dark Elf on the side was terrified and foolishly stood there, her teeth shivering

"Bang."

Elsa extended her hand and hit that laughing Dark Elf's head, wanting to knock her out. But that Dark Elf not only wasn't knocked out, it instead jumped out of the floor, her expression twisted in a monstrous expression, both hands around her own neck. Blue veins could be seen on her arms as she was apparently using all her strength.

That craziness and dedication scared everyone.

Three seconds later, that Dark Elf no longer laughed.

She choked herself to death, and those bulging eyeballs still had a crazed expression, while she still had an abnormal smile on her face.

"Mer… Merlin, what happened?"

Zeuss paled, looking extremely sickly. His teeth were shivering as he got closer to Lin Yun's side, while asking with a trembling voice.

Lin Yun kept a calm face, but it felt like someone was holding onto his heart.

Because he simply couldn't find the problem, he didn't feel any power. No matter how he looked at it, that Dark Elf had lost her mind and went completely insane.

Almost choking because of her laughter before ultimately choking herself to death as if she was her own mortal enemy.

They didn't know what happened.

At that moment, they all felt like a shadow was covering their thoughts.

This place was truly too strange.

"Let's go, let's get out of here." Lin Yun shouted with a heavy voice, rousing Elsa who had been blaming herself.

With such a strange thing happening, no one dared to banter, nor to cry. Those less powerful Dark Elves' minds were already on the verge of collapse. Everyone was on guard, and beside fear, there was nothing in their mind. They didn't dare to be happy, nor did they dare to be sad, in order to not turn crazy.

Then, after being more scared than hurt, they safely reached the deepest part of the Night Valley. In front of them was a spacious plain, and a few hundred meters away was a steep rising cliff.

To the left were lush black trees atop a precipitous hill. Their monstrous treetops didn't look like they belonged to trees, they actually looked like enlarged mushrooms.

Bare branches fell down from the mushroom-like treetop like the ribs of an umbrella and faint spots could be seen, looking like distorted faces.

Not far in the jungle, Elsa found a certain tree. After blasting that tree, she discovered a teleportation array in the hole, less than two meters wide. Unfortunately, the teleportation array appeared to have suffered damage and could only be used after being repaired.

Lin Yun naturally wouldn't let those Dark Elves take care of that matter. As an Artisan, restoring a slightly damaged array wasn't difficult at all, he also wouldn't waste too much time.

But just as Lin Yun just took out his repair tool, he heard a buzzing in his ears.

In an instant, that slight buzzing turned into a huge rumble.

Everyone looked up and saw an eight meters large dark green Fireball dropping from the sky.

There was a long trail behind that fireball, and it emitted a deafening sound as it tore through the air.

"Quick! Dodge!" A loud shout echoed as the group immediately used their own respective methods to dodge.

Lin Yun instantly used Fire Elemental Incarnation while simultaneously using instant spells to cast a hundred meters tall Firewall. By relying on Flame Flash, he escaped a hundred meters away. Zeuss wasn't slow either, just like Lin Yun, he used Fire Elemental Incarnation and relied on Flame Flashes to escape.

Xiuban jumped away, he reached a height of ten meters while crossing several dozen meters. And as soon as he landed, he burst into a sprint.

Both Reina and the puppet used their own spells to instantly escape.

But those Dark Elves weren't as skillful.

They were very nimble, but only a few of them could run a hundred meters in a few seconds.

When that dark green Fireball hit the floor, a shockwave was created, sweeping everything. All the trees within fifty meters were instantly turned into fragments, and the ground that could be said to be resistant to spells had cracks spreading from the impact zone.

A few Dark Elves that had ran a bit more than fifty meters flew out from getting in contact with the shockwaves and started spitting blood in the air.

Dark green flames also spread, reaching the left leg of a slow injured Dark Elf.

That Dark Elf ignited in an instant, the dark green flames filled his entire body and completely wrapped him in flames.

The mournful scream echoed and that Dark Elf fumbled forward, raising a hand forward, apparently begging for his companions' assistance.

But he was aging at visible speed. The despair in his eyes quickly dissipated until his gaze finally became empty.

"Thud…"

The Dark Elf fell to the ground, the dark flames on his body dissipating. His clothes weren't even burnt in the slightest by those dark green flames, but he had became incredibly old, his dark hair had turned white and his skin wrinkled.

Not only was there no mana reaction from his body, there was no soul fluctuations, his eyes didn't have the slightest bit of expression, looking exactly like those of the Living Deads.

Lin Yun felt like his head was about to explode, his scalp feeling numb…

"Damnit, Hellflame…"

Sure enough, that Fireball not only didn't disappear after hitting the ground, it instead split up into dark green flaming rocks, which then quickly assembled and transformed into a ten meters tall rocky giant.

Dark green flames covered the surface of that rocky giant's body, but those raging flames didn't feel hot.

As this rocky giant raised his head, a terrifying aura spread in the air like a storm.

"Hellflame! Heaven, who? Who summoned a Hellflame!? Damnit, Merlin, get rid of that guy quickly!" Enderfa's face deformed from fright. The Ten Thousand Spell Wheel hid behind Lin Yun, like a mouse that had seen a cat.

Hellflame, despite its name, was a lifeform specific to the Abyss. They lived in places with boundless flames, and fire was like air to them, no flame could injure a Hellflame.

The Soul Burning Fire on their bodies made other Abyssal lifeforms afraid. These flames were like the life fire of the Hellflame.

Any lifeform burnt by the Soul Burning Fire would have their mana ignited and purified by the Soul Burning Fire, and the same would happen to their soul. The Soul Burning Fire wouldn't stop until their soul was burnt to nothingness and their mana completely exhausted.

There were very few spells and things that could stop Soul Burning Fire.

A drop of Life Water that was supposedly able to resurrect anyone that had just died. There was also the Frost Dragon's unique ability, Frost Breath.

But the latter could be disregarded. The outcome of being hit by Frost Breath wasn't so different than being burnt by Soul Burning Fire. One would burn the soul to nothingness while the other would freeze the body to death.

This kind of terrifying monster was the bane of any mage and soul lifeforms. As long as their body carried mana, they would instantly catch fire when grazed by Soul Burning Fire.

As for soul lifeforms, they would never appear in a place a Hellflame existed. It could even be said that in the Abyss, any plane containing a Hellflame would be devoid of soul lifeforms!

At the peak of the Magic Era, a wide variety of planes had been discovered and conquered, and there once was a plane filled with Ghosts and Specters, the Spectral Plane, which even contained some Heaven Rank Specters.

The mage team that accidentally found their way into the plane ended up suffering heavy casualties. Later, a Beastman Warlock went in and only summoned a level 39 Hellflame. A year later, he led a large army to control the plane.

Chapter 665: Heart

Translator: Shiraishi Editor: TheAlliance

The countless Specters of the Spectral Plane were exterminated, not a single living specter could be found, and the Heaven Rank Specters had already died.

All of the Specters' spells were ineffective against that level 39 Hellflame, but the Soul Burning Fire of that Hellflame was the bane of the Specters. The Specters would be finished just by being grazed.

The entire Spectral Plane was like a pot of oil catching fire with the appearance of the Hellflame.

As for Enderfa, he was deeply afraid of Hellflames. As a Magic Tool Incarnation, the most annoying things to handle were those that targeted one's soul.

He would be toasted by a single touch.

Lin Yun's expression became very heavy. He watched the Hellflame rise up from that big hole and his heavy expression loosened up somewhat.

Fortunately, it was only a level 38 Hellflame…

A level 39 Hellflame wouldn't even need to make a move, just by walking over, the Soul Burning Fire covering his body would have eliminated most of them.

A gale suddenly rose up, filled with a large amount of sharp snowflakes. That gale rushed towards the Hellflame who was coming out of the hole.

Metallic sounds echoed on impact, the Hellflame's body slightly shuddered as it moved forward, its movement slowed.

Lin Yun raised his Dragon Staff and instantly cast an Ice Spell.

Enderfa, who had almost been scared to death, gnashed his teeth and floated out from behind Lin Yun. He controlled the Ten Thousand Spell Wheel and summoned an eight-meters large ice vortex.

A large amount of Ice Spells flew out of this ice vortex, countless Frost Lances, Ice Spikes, and Iceblades flew out like an avalanche hitting the Hellflame's body.

Reina let out a Dragon Roar and turned into her Dragon Shape before chanting some cryptic words which caused shockingly beautiful snowflakes to appear.

Snowflakes over a meter wide flew towards the Hellflame and forcibly slowed the Hellflame's footsteps.

Lin Yun's group started their fierce attack while the Dark Elves were still recovering from fright, before following suit and casting a large amount of ice spells towards the Hellflame.

They were uniting their power to stop the path of the Hellflame. Against the vast amount of spells, even if the Hellflame had boundless firepower, he couldn't take a single step forward.

Lin Yun had the Draconic Staff in his right hand and the Book of Ten Thousand Mantras in his left hand, cryptic incantations came from his mouth as boundless ice condensed in midair, transforming into a dozen meters long Serpentine Ice Dragon.

Then, the Serpentine Ice Dragon made of black ice roared and crossed several dozen meters in an instant before attacking that Hellflame's body.

In a split second, the dark green flames on the Hellflame's body started fiercely shivering.

And it also started retreating towards the depths of the Night Valley.

"Don't stop it! Never approach that thing!"

Elsa was quite knowledgeable and loudly instructed that dozen Dark Elves to not get in contact with the Hellflame.

Although the Hellflame didn't have casting abilities and was like a Rock Puppet, a level 38 Hellflame had one skill, which was contracting, flying up and falling from the sky!

Although it wouldn't have as much lethality as the earlier high altitude impact, but if that Hellflame fell behind the group, they would definitely end up being chased to death in this deadend!

That flood of ice spells became the key to suppress the Hellflame.

Although the Hellflame was slowly suppressed backward, it wasn't seriously injured, only the dark green flames on its body were swaying gently.

The Hellflame was forced back and was now three hundred to four hundred meters away from that cliff when Reina finally used her Frost Breath.

The icy blue draconic breath left Reina's mouth and looked like a flickering icy blue river, landing on the Hellflame in a flash and instantly suppressing it.

The Hellflame raised both hands and bellowed, only a thin layer of Soul Burning Fire remained on the surface of its body. Only when these flames completely stopped burning, would the Hellflame life end. These flames were the life and soul of the Hellflame.

But even if they cast all these spells, they could only force the Hellflame to withdraw.

Space suddenly distorted in the depths of the valley. As if roused by a powerful spell, everyone saw the area twisting.

Earth looked like it was disintegrating, turning into huge fragments falling into the ground.

A huge abyss suddenly appeared in the depths of the Night Valley, swallowing those fragments of earth in a few seconds.

And that Hellflame also fell into that abyss.

The Hellflame turned into a huge dark green fireball, wanting to fly up.

But the flames on its body quickly darkened, and after a short second, it thoroughly disappeared. Those dark green rocks forming Hellflame also turned dark brown, like ordinary rocks.

"Snap…"

A sharp noise echoed as the Hellflame's body transformed into a large amount of broken rocks falling in that pitch-black abyss.

When they flew above the abyss, all their spells seemed to be drawn by an invisible force and devoured by a huge mouth.

"Ba-thump…"

"Ba-thump…"

As the earth disintegrated to reveal that pitch-black abyss, that heartbeat, which had been following them for a while, instantly became deafening.

Boundless evil aura spread from the Abyss.

Then, in a flash, a Dark Elf relatively close to the abyss shouted and frantically thrust her hand in her chest to dig our her beating heart.

That beating heart was throbbing at the same frequency as that loud heartbeat. That Dark Elf didn't seem to suffer as she dug her beating heart, her face was filled with zeal and satisfaction.

And while everyone was still resisting the sudden heartbeat, that Dark Elf lifted her own beating heart and suddenly jumped down the abyss.

The crazy shouts from that Dark Elf echoed, before instantly weakening.

Lin Yun saw the Dark Elf's features becoming old as she fell, her mana and vitality instant fading away.

She was already dead, it only took one second in that abyss. Only her corpse kept falling alongside those fragments of earth, to be swallowed by the darkness.

By the time those large chunks of earth fell into the abyss, everyone could see what was in the abyss.

A black mist emitting thick evil power was floating in the abyss, and the strange heartbeat was coming from that black fog.

With every heartbeat, the black mist would palpitate, beating just like a heart.

The black mist slowly scattered, exposing a human-sized heart in front of everyone.

It was only a heart, but it seemed alive, continuously throbbing, and the countless runes branded on that heart were moving with the throbbing. The black mist surrounding the heart was swallowed by it, and after a heartbeat, transformed into countless pitch-black runes.

The boundless mysteries hidden behind these runes made it hard for others to look away. It felt as if touching the heart was touching the source of magic.

In an instant, this thought echoed in everyone's mind.

Then, someone acted. A Dark Elf was unable to resist the temptation. As long as she touched that huge heart, all her magic patterns would turn into ultimate magic patterns, even the spells she recently learnt would become Ultimate Spells

7th Tier ultimate magic patterns were right in front of her nose…

That Dark Elf jumped into the abyss, looking intoxicated, extending her hand to touch the heart. But during the fall, she aged at a rapid pace.

In less than two seconds, her mana and vitality, even her soul, faded away, and her aged corpse was swallowed by the boundless darkness.

Seeing such a scene, Lin Yun reacted first, his forehead covered with sweat as he quickly retreated.

'Constance's heart!'

'Damnit, that's Constance's heart!'

Lin Yun instantly used spells to pull everyone back, he even used weakened Mana Hands to slap everyone twice.

This was a deadly temptation, no wonder the temptation was so high, it turned out to be tricks played by Constance's heart!

No one understood better than Lin Yun how formidable Constance was. Just reading about him in books was enough to trigger everyone desires.

In the legends, Constance's death had been extremely miserable. Before dying, he was hit with a powerful curse, his body was corroded by the curse's power and only the skull, from which all wisdom originated, wasn't corrored by the curse.

During the peak of the Magic Era, Constance's God Nation was excavated and almost every corner of the God Nation was searched by these locusts.

The hidden things were naturally discovered.

In the legends, it was also said that in order to resist the curse, Constance fused his own body with the Wisdom Tree, using the power of the Wisdom Tree to suppress his own body.

The heart, the most important part, was naturally discovered. In the records, Constance's heart was suppressed in an extremely dark part of the Wisdom Tree.

That place was completely sealed, making the sinister curse unable to spread to other areas. But finding Constance's heart triggered many mages' inner desires.

Chapter 666: Demon

Translator: Shiraishi Editor: TheAlliance

As the heart of the Wisdom God, it possessed a consciousness-like instinct. The temptation wasn't inferior to the Book of Ten Thousand Mantras.

To the mages who were fanatically pursuing the path of magic, this was irresistible. At least, before they knew the truth, no mage would be able to resist this temptation.

But these powerful mages who lost their reason and were controlled by their desires ended up being food to Constance's heart, their mana were devoured, alongside their life and soul, becoming a tonic for the heart.

Ultimately, a powerful mage took action and sealed Constance's heart at the deepest part of the Wisdom Tree.

Lin Yun was deathly pale, that thing was a source of misfortune, they absolutely couldn't get close to it. Even a powerful God like Constance was unable to break through that curse's power. If they were ever so slightly infected, even by a small amount of curse's aura, they might die without even leaving a corpse behind, and their souls would never be free.

Lin Yun's face was gloomy as he pulled everyone back.

No one felt angry at being slapped, they instead withdrew in fear and looked at Lin Yun with gratitude.

There was still a deep fear in Elsa's eyes, but she still gratefully nodded at Lin Yun. They all saw how the two Dark Elves ended, their ending wouldn't be much different if they jumped.

Lin Yun led everyone further away, while the heart floating in the abyss revealed its true appearance, the black mist shrouding the heart almost completely dissipated, but it still showed something else.

A monstrous Beastman…

That Beastman was bald and was wearing a shabby robe, on the back of which was branded a Demonic Rune.

At this moment, the Beastman's hands were pressing on Constance's heart, the black mist surrounding his body seemingly fusing with Constance's heart.

Elsa's face saw that Beastman and exclaimed with fright, "It's him!"

Before anyone could question her, Elsa quickly explained.

"Everyone thought he had died, but turns out he was still alive!"

"Over a millennium ago, he was the Ash Beastman Tribe's Elder. Just like one of our ancestors, he was known as the race's most promising genius to reach the Heaven Rank. Our clan and the Ash Beastmen had always been in a hostile relationship. The two of them became the most powerful geniuses of our clan and tribe, and they naturally became arch-enemies."

"They always fought each other, from their youth until they became 8th Rank Archmages. While fighting each other, they inadvertently entered the Night Valley, and from that point on, they were never heard from again."

"Everyone had thought they were dead, but I never expected that a millennium later, Duncan would still be alive…"

Fear could be seen on Elsa's face as she quickly explain the history of that Beastman.

The other Dark Elves, Jeremy included, greatly paled when they heard Duncan's name.

That was the Ash Beastman with the highest chance of success to reach the Heaven Rank over a millennium ago!

A millennium had passed and he was surprisingly still alive in such a strange place, just how powerful was he?

Lin Yun frowned, 'Ash Beastman…'

The situation wasn't getting better…

Ash Beastmen were one of the ancestors of the Beastmen, they had the bloodlines of the Abyssal Demons and were proficient in connecting with the Abyssal Demons. They were innate casters and could use Abyssal Demons' spells, and the most powerful ones could even summon Abyssal Demons.

In the past, the name Warlock was associated with Ash Beastmen for a long time.

It later turned into Demon Warlock.

Their innate talents came from their bloodline. In the ancient era, the Beastman race kept growing and Ash Beastmen were the important fighting power in charge of clearing new land.

During the Nesser Dynasty, the most famous battle of the Ash Beastmen was the Wasteland Campaign.

At that time, the Ash Beastmen formed a Demon Warlock army and summoned countless Abyssal Gate in the northern part of Noscent. A large amount of Abyssal Demons left the Abyssal Gate, they even summoned several Abyssal Overlords!

The battle with the Pureblood Elves was a bloodbath, over fifty kilometers of land was destroyed. In the end, the Chromatic Dragons personally appeared and took the initiative to initiate peace talks and gave Noscent's northern wasteland to the Beastmen. The Ash Beastmen then withdrew their army.

That battle displayed the power of the Ash Beastmen, their vast amount of Abyssal Spells and their instinctive Demon Summoning. Each Ash Beastman could summon an Abyssal Demon of the same rank as themselves to fight alongside them.

Each time an Ash Beastman advanced to the next realm, or reached the 5th Rank of a realm, they would be able to connect with an Abyssal Demon and sign a contract with it.

Especially powerful Ash Beastmen could even sign contracts with Abyssal Demons stronger than themselves and could quickly summon them in battle.

Lin Yun's expression wasn't good as he looked at the Beastman hovering near the cliff.

That Ash Beastman had already lost the features of Ash Beastmen, his originally ash gray skin had already turned pitch-black and it was emitting a sinister evil power. This kind of power gave Lin Yun the feeling that it was more powerful than Abyssal Demons.

This was the feeling of a 9th Rank Archmage, just a step away from becoming a Heaven Warlock.

Even if he had future knowledge and knew that this Ash Beastman playing with fire couldn't attack them, Lin Yun didn't feel optimistic at all.

Because the one thing Ash Beastmen were the most proficient at had never been attacking…

The black mist dissipated and Duncan turned his head to look at everyone, his pitch-black eyes filled with evil aura.

Then, an aged and sinister voice echoed in their ears.

"Another Dark Elf came? And… Humans? Since you already saw the secret of this place, you can stay here…"

After saying that, a fist-sized black vortex appeared on the side of the cliff, followed by a second, and a third…

In an instant, four pitch-black vortex appeared, and they instantly grew to reach five meters. The vortexes then quickly transformed into jet-black gates.

Sulfur, flames, poison, the characteristic smell of the Abyss came from these gates. Demons excitedly shouted as they stepped through those gates.

"Roar…" A loud roar echoed as a monster with goat horns, a long demonic tail and four sheep hooves appeared from a gate, while from another one, a pitch-black Reaper holding a huge jet-black sickle came out.

And flames seemed to be escaping from the gates.

A huge group of Abyssal Demons left the Abyssal Gates.

Ugly little Imps with strangely oversized heads, head-chopping addicts Reapers, armored Crypt Fiends looking like cockroaches, sharp-toothed Witches with blades instead of arms.

All kinds of Demons rushed out of the Abyssal Gates. They then looked at Lin Yun's group as if they were prey.

Imps had fanatical desires for the flesh of any creature of Noscent. As the first one charged, an army of Imps roared and crazily rushed towards Lin Yun's group.

Countless corrosive sprays were spat out of the mouths of these Imps, transforming into a river of corrosive spit that rushed towards them.

From a few dozen meters, they could all feel the nauseating smell, slightly dizzying them. Anyone with a minimal amount of knowledge would know that corrosive acid had severe toxicity. It was rumored that first-rate Abyssal Imps could even rely on their corrosive acid to poison Dragons.

Abyssal Imps were the fastest. In the back, Crypt Fiends' stomachs were touching the ground. They were extremely slow compared to the Imps, but their thick carapace was covered in Abyssal Runes that could make the Crypt Demons resistant to most magic attacks. They were even immune to Low Tier Spells.

A Reaper with a savage expression wasn't interested in the other Abyssal lifeforms and charged towards Lin Yun's group, only chopping the heads of two Imps blocking its way. The heads of these Abyssal lifeforms weren't comparable to those of Lin Yun's group.

Even the witches who loved battling among themselves displayed a rare sight, with zeal and greed, they charged into Lin Yun's group.

The war was about to start.

The shoulder of a Dark Elf was hit by the corrosive acid and his skin was instantly corroded, his flesh melting at a fast pace. Two seconds later, only a white bone remained where his shoulder was, at the same time, the cyan poison infiltrated his body.

In just a few seconds, that Dark Elf spat out poisoned blood and fell. Those charging Imps rushed to the body of that Dark Elf and started tearing his body apart with their sharp teeth.

A dozen of Imps were piled on that Dark Elf's corpse like a small mountain, and after less than ten seconds, the Imps dispersed, only leaving a pile of bones behind. Some Imps could still be seen gnawing on some bones, apparently wanted to get every last piece of flesh.

Reapers rushed forward and beheaded every single Imp blocking their way while the Crypt Fiends were charging forward, relying on their heavy carapaces to block the Reapers' attacks.

A Crypt Fiend and a Reaper were forcing each other aside. The Reaper slashed at the Crypt Fiend, but it didn't leave any mark on that thick carapace, instead, the Reaper's arms were covered with wounds as it was hit by the reflective runes on the Crypt Fiend's carapace.

Those sharp-toothed Witches with blades in guise of arms were becoming wilder, they swung their blades and two Reapers that had blocked the path of a Witch were cut to pieces.

Savage, ruthless, chaos…

Chapter 667: Bitter Struggle

Translator: Shiraishi Editor: TheAlliance

These were the Abyssal Demons, when summoned together, internal conflicts would easily appear and they would slash at the Abyssal lifeforms next to them, not caring about anything else.

Weaklings that blocked the path of the strong would end up becoming their prey and die.

The large group of chaotic Abyssal Demons was like a swarm of bees, but no one dared to underestimate these killing addicts.

Lin Yun remained calm, raising his Draconic Staff to add a Mana Shield around himself, before chanting two words, causing countless Iceblades to fall from the sky.

The fast Imps were injured by the Iceblades, some of them were even severed in two.

But these savage Abyssal lifeforms just looked at this scene, their eyes wide opened, before baring their teeth, even more saliva dripping down from their mouths. They completely ignored the condition of their bodies and were instead rushing even more crazily towards Lin Yun.

All the Imps in mid-air were instantly-killed, but even more Abyssal Imps approached. They were only half as tall as a human and looked like disgusting monkey-like lifeforms. They would completely throw their lives away in order to eat some food that had no sulfuric aura.

The large amount of spells were unable to suppress these locust-like things. A Dark Elf was a bit slow while retreating and was surrounded by these Imps.

The Dark Elf cast spells in fear and hit a dozen Imps, but he was swarmed by more than twenty Imps and was cleanly devoured in a dozen seconds, not a drop of blood was wasted.

Cold sweat started dripping from everyone's foreheads.

Jeremy moved back, afraid. These Imps were level twenty at best, but they were more frightening and fiercer than Undeads.

As he looked at Lin Yun who was casting with a frown, Jeremy roared in his mind, 'It's all because of these outsiders! These damned outsiders! If not because they had tricked Elsa, how could we end up in such a dangerous situation? Duncan was the most talented Warlock of the Ash Beastman Tribe over a millennium ago! And he is about to break through to the Heaven Rank.'

'Fortunately, he doesn't seem to be able to make a move, otherwise we would have been unable to last more than ten seconds. But these damned Abyssal lifeforms are really too savage, they are so much worse than Undeads, we are truly finished this time…'

The sprinting Abyssal Imps became living targets, taking on a large amount of spells with their flesh. As for the Crypt Fiends in the back, they didn't really suffer from the flood of spells due to their high resistances.

After rushing forward for a few hundred meters, only four Crypt Fiends ended up with their heads exploded due to carelessness.

Those Reapers and Witches swung their weapons and even cut through magic. Those solid sharp curved blades were said to be able to cut through the heads of any lifeform. And Reapers could behead a Dragon on the same level as them.

The large group of Abyssal lifeforms were like mad dogs.

Lin Yun raised his Draconic Staff and cast while slowly retreating.

That group of Abyssal Demons could only fight in close distance, but they were like locusts, killing countless Abyssal lifeforms on their way.

These guys' average level wasn't high, but it made everyone feel sick.

Just like Undeads, they were unafraid of death and would use their lives to suppress their enemies, using quantity to submerge them.

As long as there was enough level 20 Abyssal lifeforms, even a 9th Rank Archmage might lose his life to the swarm.

Lin Yun, Enderfa, and the puppet, the casting of any of those three could be compared to a small scale mage army. But even so, they were still forced to fall back.

A large amount of Abyssal lifeforms were still climbing the sides of the valley, and from those slopes, they were looking at everyone, wanting to encircle them.

The Crypt Fiends' chests were touching the ground as they crawled on the slope, their speed not any slower than the others, apart from the Imps.

After a dozen minutes, a large amount of Demons surrounded everyone, two to three thousand Abyssal Lifeforms had already fallen, covering the ground with blood. The large amount of corpses forming another layer of solid ground.

"Woosh…"

A sharp sound echoed, one Abyssal Witch jumped and was met with eight Iceblades and shattered them before pouncing towards Lin Yun. That malevolent expression and sharp teeth already aiming at him.

The Witch's arms were quickly swung, cutting all spells sent at her.

Lin Yun frowned and made three Flame Spears appear in the air. The three Flame Spears were sent flying at a strange angle. As the Witch sliced the first Flame Spear, the other two collided against each other.

The Witch clearly hadn't expected this scene and thought that her opponent had failed his spell, but the next moment, she saw the result of the two Flame Spears' collision, they broke away and were now aiming at her sides. One of the Flame Spears carried a fiery shadowy color and instantly hit that Witch's throat. The powerful power hit her head and sent her flying.

Their defensive circle became smaller and smaller, while Lin Yun's expression turned bad.

The Purple Dragon Magic Tool Incarnation flew out of the Draconic Staff and let out a Dragon Roar, before transforming into a formidable Purple Dragon shadow behind Lin Yun.

The addition of the Magic Tool Incarnation made Lin Yun's casting ability comparable to a Chromatic Dragon's for a minute, and the power of his spells greatly increased.

Lin Yun also had the open Book of Death in his left-hand, the Element Chapter's power was getting roused, strengthening Lin Yun's casting abilities when handling elemental spells, increasing his power once again.

The addition of both the Purple Dragon Avatar and the Element Chapter made Lin Yun's casting reach an unimaginable level, it was enough to make a spell skip over a Tier!

Mana turned into a whirlwind, gushing out of Lin Yun like a geyser. The condensed liquid-like mana turning into a drizzle.

Lin Yun had a very serious expression, the Book of Death emitting a four-colored radiance in his left hand while the Draconic Staff in his right hand was placed in front of him. He opened his mouth and chanted a word.

In a split second, strange patterns appeared on the cliffs on both sides of the valley.

The patterns permeated the cliff as if they had been carved and in an instant, they turned into two twenty meters arrays.

Hellish aura surged from these two huge gold red arrays. Everyone then saw two twenty meters thick pillars of flames coming from these two arrays.

The powerful firepower made the space shake. It felt as if the entire continent was trembling from that flame bombardment.

When that hellish aura appeared, these Abyssal lifeforms instantly flew into a rage, and several dozen Imps charged towards those two arrays, but their bodies only ended up ignited by a golden crimson flame, turning them to ashes in an instant.

The two thick flame columns attacked the cliff on their opposite side, and a large amount of Hellfire came sputtering around. It even felt as if those flames trickling down the cliffs were infinite.

The Crypt Fiends, that had yet to display their power, suffered serious damage for the first time.

Those Crypt Fiends' defensive power was so high that even Reapers didn't want to attack them, and with their formidable close range combat and melee spell casting, they wouldn't be able to do anything from such a long distance.

But if it was within ten meters, these guys could rely on their innate abilities and cast Earth Spike without causing any mana fluctuations, which was perfect for sneak attacks. Any mage attacked by a large group of Crypt Fiend at such a dangerous distance could already be considered dead.

Thus, Lin Yun had to withdraw when these Crypt Fiend were thirty meters away. He was also using the power of the Purple Dragon Incarnation, if he didn't suppress these disgusting lifeforms, they would be in deep trouble, even if Duncan didn't make a move.

A large amount of lava-like Hellfire flowed down the two cliffs and quickly set the Crypt Fiend on fire.

The power of the Hellfire was completely displayed by Lin Yun in this situation, and deeply injured these Abyssal lifeforms.

After five seconds, over five hundred Abyssal lifeforms were burnt into a pile of ashes.

Lin Yun frowned and stopped the Hellfire. After casting those Hellfires, the pressure had been greatly reduced.

But a steady flow of Abyssal lifeforms were still coming out of the Abyssal Gates. Every corner of this place was covered with Abyssal lifeforms, and even the lifeforms that came later barely had any place to stand on. Many of them were pushed towards the precipice, and many more were killing each other.

The strongest Abyssal lifeforms were only level 34, and their number was already in the five thousand, making everyone feel numb. This was comparable to over ten thousand Undeads, and that was very frightening…

The huge amount made casting single-target spells pointless, because there would be no end to the killing!

Only large-scale High Tier Spell covering the entire battlefield would be effective!

"You take care of the rear, I'll deal with the front!" Lin Yun quickly instructed, before once again raising his Draconic Staff, quickly chanting some runes.

Large golden red patterns started appearing on the floor, frantically growing, before releasing a terrifying Hellfire once it was over ten meters wide.

Before the previous Hellfire even disappeared, another Hellfire summoning array appeared.

Every time a Hellfire came out, several hundred Abyssal lifeforms would be burnt to death. It was like Lin Yun was transforming the area, relying on the Purple Dragon Incarnation and the Element Chapter to keep casting Hellfires.

In ten seconds, he cast six Hellfires, dealing with the Abyssal lifeforms within two hundred meters!

It was unknown how many Abyssal lifeforms had been burnt to death by the Hellfires.

Lin Yun's expression was abnormally pale, his formidable casting ability and outrageous spell power wasn't without a price.

This kind of spell power raised the tier of a spell while sharply increasing its mana consumption.

That half a dozen Hellfires had already consumed 90% of Lin Yun's mana!

The Magic Array, the most formidable Magic Conducting Rune in Noscent's history, contained so much mana that it would make many Archmages despair, and with the two Alchemic Mana Whirlpools, Lin Yun had triple that shocking amount of mana, but he could only cast that many Hellfires!

The consumption was several times higher than forcibly casting a 7th Tier Spell!

Lin Yun disappeared and reappeared next to the mana pond in the Demiplane, taking a deep breath. The mana within his body instantly recovered and he once again reappeared in the Night Valley, continuing that counterattacking pattern.

Thirty seconds!

Another huge Hellfire pillar over ten meters in thickness rushed out of an array and instantly cremated over a hundred Abyssal lifeforms, and another hundred was set on fire by the Hellfire.

The large amount of Abyssal lifeforms were forced down the precipice, and even those powerful Abyssal lifeforms that didn't care about their own lives during the fight had scared expression when they were falling down.

Their flesh withered at a quick pace, aging a hundred years in an instant, before reaching the end of their lives in less than two seconds, their vitality and energy forcibly absorbed. Their bodies were even rotting as they fell, before ultimately turning into ashes, swallowed by the darkness.

Lin Yun was roughly panting, his head feeling as if it was about to explode. Not only was he using a large amount of mana, the burden on his mind was terrifying, to the point where he felt muddle-headed.

All the Abyssal lifeforms were suppressed back to the Abyssal Gates. Those numerous Abyssal lifeforms were ultimately dealt with, only a few hundred scattered ones remained, the rest had been completely burnt by the Hellfires.

Lin Yun released a Hellfire in front of the Abyssal Gates, making it so that all the lifeforms that would rush out of the Abyssal Gates would be burnt to ashes.

One minute had passed…

The Purple Dragon Avatar had once again turned into the young Purple Dragon, who dragged his tired body back into the Draconic Staff. Lin Yun's terrifying momentum instantly declined, and he also closed the Book of Death.

Lin Yun's eyes were filled with exhaustion as he quickly flew back towards the teleportation array. Before he even reached it, Lin Yun had already taken out his crystal pens and a bottle of Dragonblood Ink.

Lin Yun no longer paid attention to the battlefield as he flew to restore that teleportation array, his two hands holding two crystal pens while also controlling the two remote controlled crystal pens with his mana.

After buffing himself with Sharp Mind, Lin Yun's hands frantically moved, writing a large amount of runes, four times as fast as his peak speed.

The teleportation array could be seen recovering at a visible speed, the damaged areas were repaired and the array was being cracked.

Those Dark Elves were already stunned, Lin Yun had fiercely suppressed the Abyssal Army by himself, and so far, not a single Demon was able to go through the Abyssal Gates alive, the moment they left the Abyssal Gates, they would be burnt to death. Those Abyssal Gates had started deforming due to the Hellfire, showing signs of collapse.

Elsa turned her head and looked at Lin Yun who crazily rushed towards the hill to work on the array, her mind lagging a bit behind.

'That's a 9th Rank High Mage? Heavens! Even the most powerful 8th Rank Archmage of our race doesn't have such strength, he is only a 9th Rank High Mage… When did Hellfire had so much power?'

'And that array summoning the Hellfire was twenty meters large! Heavens! This is already the limit of 7th Tier Spells, it might not be so different from Ultimate Spells…'

'Is that person a Chromatic Dragon? He must be! It's impossible to have such a formidable casting ability otherwise! His staff also has that monstrous Purple Dragon's avatar, which possessed the pressure of Dragons, and there is an adult Frost Dragon following him, he must be a Chromatic Dragon!'

'And the speed at which he is cracking the array, he is even using two hands! Those two floating crystal pens… They wouldn't be controlled by him, would they?'

'Remote control? Cracking an array with both hands? Splitting his mind in four? Moreover, he doesn't seem to need any time to reflect, only writing at the quickest speed.'

'That's a human?'

'Absolutely impossible! Human beings could never become so powerful, he might really be a Chromatic Dragon, and an extremely formidable Artisan, maybe even a Saint Alchemist!'

'Hell, I don't know, I've never seen such a formidable alchemist…'

It wasn't just Elsa, even Jeremy and those Dark Elves seemed to forget that there were leftovers Abyssal lifeforms that had yet to be eliminated, they only stared at Lin Yun.

From the start of his burst of power, he only used one minute to reverse the situation and turn most of those Abyssal lifeforms to ashes. Even if he was making use of the terrain, that was a feat that no of them ever thought possible.

How could a 9th Rank High Mage be so powerful?

Jeremy's expression became complicated as he looked at Lin Yun, ' Hmpf! Even if he is extremely powerful, when we first besieged them, he was startled when finding out that we were Dark Elves. If he hadn't been forced to, he wouldn't have dared to counterattack. And when hearing Elsa's identity he no longer dared to attack.'

'He didn't dare to kill us before because he was afraid, he is a human after all, he doesn't dare to set himself against us, Dark Elves. That human hadn't been fighting all-out so far, he definitely had malicious intentions!'

'Hmpf, those malicious thoughts are useless, you still don't dare to harm me!'

In the group, only Enderfa and the rest of Lin Yun's team were dealing with the remaining Abyssal Demons to not let any of them approach Lin Yun.

After fighting together for a long time, Lin Yun's team was already aware how strong Lin Yun was when he went all-out. Lin Yun didn't even need to say anything and they would still automatically clean up the battlefield to let him focus on cracking and repairing the array.

But the pale Zeuss couldn't adapt to those circumstances that fast. Just now, Lin Yun's burst had startled Zeuss to the point where he forgot himself in the middle of his incantation. The spell backfired and he suffered for a while as he watched Lin Yun's god-like performance.

'He killed several thousands Abyssal Demons in a minute. He forced back an Abyssal army back to the Abyssal Gates by himself!'

'That's a 9th Rank High Mage? You are f*cking kidding me!?'

Zeuss' mouth remained wide open, he just kept looking at Lin Yun's back. Even with all his years of experience, he couldn't find an explanation to this.

'Such a powerful bursting power belongs to a 9th Rank High Mage? People might believe if it belonged to a 9th Rank Archmage!'

'I must be dreaming…'

Suddenly, Zeuss started recalling everything that happened, from the first time he met Lin Yun…

Cold sweat started dripping down his forehead.

'Damn, being able to survive so far wasn't due to good luck, I've been walking next to such a legend… And he even helped me recover my magic path. Thankfully I was able to notice early on, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to come back alive from having been drained by that monster…'

…

How could Lin Yun have time to care about what others were thinking, he needed to focus on cracking the teleportation array as fast as possible.

But Duncan wouldn't give Lin Yun an opportunity. A few seconds after Lin Yun started cracking the teleportation array, Duncan turned his head once again, black flames burning in his eyes as he looked at the group with killing intent.

"You think you can escape after crushing some insects? My companion, come out!" Duncan let out in a sinister tone as he took a hand off Constance's heart.

At that moment, everyone saw Duncan's pitch-black palm quickly aging, his flesh quickly withering.

After a second, only a layer of withered black skin covered Duncan's left hand's bones.

Then, a terrifying boundless pitch-black mana spread from Duncan's left hand like a geyser.

In an instant, the withered skin on Duncan's left hand disintegrated, exposing miserable bones, and even the skin on his left arm was decaying at a rapid pace, exposing his thick bones.

Duncan's finger bones were continuously moving, drawing lines in the air while that black mana was sucked back into his palm.

After absorbing a large amount of mana, an Abyssal Rune appeared on Duncan's palm. That glowing run immediately rushed to an Abyssal Gate.

In a split second, the originally flickering Abyssal Gate stabilized and increased in size, transforming into an Abyssal Gate over twenty meters large.

Then, a terrifying aura spread out from that Abyssal Gate.

A large amount of ice mixed with evil power burst out of the Abyssal Gate.

The temperature suddenly dropped at a rapid pace as a large flurry of black snowflakes rushed out of the Abyssal Gate as if someone had used the large-scale spell, Blizzard.

The sudden drop in temperature made the countless snowflakes condense in midair, and as the wind rose, they wreaked havoc throughout the entire Night Valley. Black frost started forming on the ground, emitting an extremely sinister power.

Frost was also congealing on the trees, covering the surface of the trees with a thin, black layer. After a few seconds in the blizzard, the trees shattered, transforming into many black shards of ice.

The group's expressions changed drastically. They had all reached the state where temperatures didn't matter too much to them, so ordinary cold and hot temperatures had already lost meaning to them. But at this moment, all of them felt a chill. Their limbs were stiff and their bodies instinctively shivered because of the cold.

They were each buffed with a Fire Shield and a Fire Armor. No one knew what the cause behind it was, but that aura alone was enough to make everyone feel as if they were quickly freezing to death. What did Duncan summon in the end?

The few of them felt a bit better with the addition of fire elemental power.

The next instant, an even stronger black blizzard sprayed out of the Abyssal Gate, and countless Abyssal lifeforms burst out from within.

A large number of Evil Water Elementals appeared within the blizzard. These Evil Water Elementals that fell down from the sky were four to five meters tall.

Their bodies were like thick, deep-blue balls of flowing water. They each only had two limbs, and there were no facial features on their heads. Their bodies seemed to just be squirming slime.

They looked extremely disgusting, but they emitted terrifying power, showing that they were at least level 30!

The several hundred Evil Water Elementals fell from the sky like rain, soon followed by many Evil Legless Birds. Their bodies were made out of pale blue ice, and they looked like Elemental lifeforms, but they were normal Abyssal lifeforms.

They chased through the snowstorm and attacked all lifeforms with legs. They didn't have legs, so they would never touch the ground until the day of their death. They always remained hovering in the air, dying when they finally lost the strength to soar in the sky. They could never rest, so they lived in blizzards to save their strength.

They became even fiercer after being corrupted by evil. They were jealous of all lifeforms with legs that could rest on the ground, so they would tear them apart every time they saw one.

Along with these things were also Frost Demons with goat horns, emitting cold aura as they flapped their wings to fly out of the Abyssal Gate.

…

All of these ice-attributed Abyssal lifeforms rushed out of the Abyssal Gate like a flood. There were three to four thousand of them, and by the time they had left the Abyssal Gate, an even more terrifying and oppressing power was emitted from it.

The originally cold atmosphere became freezing, and the fire elements were suppressed, apparently completely extinguished by the cold aura.

"Roar…"

The huge bellow echoed from the Abyssal Gate, making it shake. Ripples appeared on the surface of the Abyssal Gate, one after another.

Then, a sound similar to countless ice shards colliding against each other pierced through the air as a large amount of ice fragments condensed in midair, transforming into black ice crystals that rained down.

An eight meters tall huge head made its way out of the Abyssal Gate, looking like a demonic head made out of condensed black ice crystals with two crystal-like long horns and black flames burning in its eyes. A deeply cold and evil aura was revolving around these black flames.

Then, an arm, over thirty meters long, stretched out of the Abyssal Gate. A cold light flickering on it as the air around it froze, turning into ice fragments and dropping to the ground.

Countless gusts of wind were frozen by that huge monster's aura. After getting further away from the monster, those fragments of air would explode and return to their original form.

A large amount of cracking sounds echoed from the monster's body.

"Curio!"

Elsa screamed in alarm, unable to maintain her aloofness as a Dark Elven Princess, her hands shivering.

Then, the large amount of Abyssal lifeforms fell down on them and everyone scattered.

Countless Evil Water Elementals fell within a thousand kilometers. Those Evil Legless Birds already dove down, their mouths wide open, a large amount of black ice spraying out from their mouths, covering their original location.

Then, those Frost Demons followed closely behind, shouting while rushing forward, slashing with their sharp claws, trying to crush everyone.

The impact of several thousand Abyssal lifeforms at once, especially from flying Abyssal Lifeforms, greatly increased the pressure on everyone.

Everyone was blown apart by the attack, and at most two or three people could still stand together. A large amount of fire spells had been cast, but the fire elements were suppressed by the icy cold aura, making the power of everyone's fire spells decrease a bit.

Lin Yun had been cracking the array in the distance, but he couldn't keep working on it, the attack of that massive amount of Abyssal lifeforms's attacks had already scattered everyone, if he didn't act, although the others might be able to resist for a bit, the Dark Elves wouldn't last more than ten seconds.

And that monster crawling its way out of the Abyssal Gate was making Lin Yun apprehensive, how could he still have time to crack the array.

By the time the array was done being cracked, that monster would have already made it way out of the gate, and the situation would be very troublesome.

Lin Yun had recognized it, that monster was a Frost Giant, and he was even a Lesser Abyssal Overlord that had reached level 38!

Just the part that crawled out was already forty to fifty meters tall! Its entire body must definitely be at least a hundred meters tall!

Lin Yun raised his Draconic Staff and used a Fire Rain Spell. The most effective large-scale fire-attributed spell to increase the density and activity of fire elements in an area. He then cast a Firewall and transformed into his Fire Elemental Incarnation, casting three Flame Flashes in a row to reach the center of the crowd.

A large amount of fire spells were released by Lin Yun, two radiances, one red and one blue, were revolving around him, deflecting a large amount of ice spells.

Soon, the others gathered at Lin Yun's side, and within a dozen seconds, Elsa and her Dark Elves also converge towards him.

Lin Yun looked at Elsa and asked, "You know this Lesser Overlord?"

Elsa's expression was full of fear, she looked at Duncan who was floating above them and quickly said, "This Frost Giant is called Curio, he is a Lesser Overlord of the 30th Floor of the Abyss and is the Abyssal Demon Duncan signed a contract with. He was originally level 38, but it looks like he'll soon level up, he is extremely powerful."

"In the past, Duncan had relied on Curio to fight against the most powerful genius of our clan. It was said that Duncan's strength simply couldn't compare with the genius of our race. After all, that Elder had three 5th Tier ultimate magic patterns at the time. But after Duncan summoned Curio, our race's Elder was at a disadvantage and could only resist with his ultimate magic patterns."

"Over a millennium had passed and Curio had become even more powerful, he is almost level 39, he must be even more terrifying…"

Following Elsa's words, their expressions turned white, especially those Dark Elves. They faintly remembered that story and their teeth started trembling.

Zeuss could feel his legs shake, regretting leaving the Intrepid to follow Lin Yun towards the God Nation.

No matter how strange and dangerous the Intrepid was, it wouldn't be as bad as this. The Captain's Cabin would be fairly safe at the very least. Just because he thought of the Family's mission, he took the risk to come here to die…

He only recovered up to the High Mage realm, but this place was too dangerous. He had never seen so many crazy Abyssal lifeforms in his lifetime.

He could get rid of any Abyssal lifeform here on his own, but there was too many of them, there was at least several thousands! How could they be beaten? They were done for…

After barely recovering some of his magic power, he wouldn't be able to see the day where he made a full recovery as he would die a miserable death…

Seeing that Lesser Abyssal Overlord crawling its way out of the Abyssal Gate, Zeuss bitterly shook his head…

Everyone could feel not only their body getting cold, but also their minds…

Elsa hadn't even finished her words before Curio let out a loud roar.

The group's expressions immediately changed, Lin Yun included.

Curio raised its huge demonic claw, and countless fragments of black ice condensed within before transforming into a huge 8 meters tall black ice rune.

Curio shattered that rune with a roar, scattering the fragments towards the front.

In an instant, countless ice shards spread over a kilometer, covering most of the depths of the Night Valley.

A fragment of ice fell onto the body of an Evil Legless Bird, causing a black ripple to spread through its body, turning it black in a few seconds, boundless evil and cold aura leaking from its body.

Chapter 670: Absolute Freeze

Translator: Shiraishi Editor: TheAlliance

It was the same for all the other Abyssal lifeforms, after being hit by these fragments of black ice, their bodies instantly turned black and the ice aura became even more intense, greatly strengthening their power in the process. All of their ice spells turning black while being stronger than their original versions.

When the black ice shards covered the entire area, some fell on Lin Yun's Ice Fire Shield. The originally blazing Fire Shield turned berserk on contact, the flames rose up sharply reaching their peak as black ripples slowly spread on it.

In three seconds, those icy black ripples extinguished the Fire Shield.

The blue Ice Shield couldn't even resist and instantly turned black, leaking a black sinister and icy aura.

The mana Lin Yun emitted was infected by those fragments of black ice and froze at a rapid speed.

Everyone's defensive spells were infected by those black shards and completely froze. Apparently, those ice shards could infect the mana within the spells, transforming everyone's mana to that of the evil black ice.

A Dark Elf's Fire Shield was extinguished and a black ice shard reached his left hand freezing it into black ice. It then frantically spread towards its arm.

Elsa reacted very fast and used a Wind Blade to cut off the infected left hand. After being cut, the hand finished freezing into black ice while falling to the ground, shattering into a pile of black ice shards…

"Frost Plague! Block it quickly! Don't let it touch you…!" Elsa shouted, fear could be heard in her voice. She then crazily used defensive fire spells, casting one Fire Shield after another to block those black ice shards.

The group was flustered, their face turning pales. The Frost Plague would increase the power of ice lifeforms, especially Abyss' ice lifeforms. The infection would not only be safe, their strength would be greatly increased.

But when it came in contact with other lifeforms, the power of the Frost Plague would spread like the plague. Transforming all non-ice power into ice power.

And at this moment, everything was covered with black shard fragments, they just keep falling in the depths of the Night Valley, covering it with a layer of black ice.

Xiuban's teeth were trembling as he crazily rushed towards Lin Yun.

"Sir Merlin, help… Help me…"

If he was hit, he would be frozen into an ice cube, this terrified Xiuban.

Lin Yun didn't say anything and raised his Draconic Staff, chanting an incantation to cast a Ward of Fire.

But that Ward of Fire wasn't too different, it was like a fire red cover that appeared around Lin Yun's body and quickly expanded, making all the shards within ten meters fall out.

That fire red light that transformed into a black ice dome before exploding. Lin Yun had used another improved Ward of Fire to send that black ice dome exploding away.

The fragments of black ice turned into a whirlwind that rose up in the sky, a lot of shards in the surroundings were driven by that black ice whirlwind and were sent flying in the distance.

Cold sweat dripped down Lin Yun's forehead. The Frost Plague was an extremely malicious thing, those shards looked like falling snowflakes, but they couldn't be sent flying by wind spells.

Those black ice fragments carried a small amount of plague power, which was extremely infectious. Most spells would be infected. Anything that contained mana would turned into its own power after being turned by the ice fragments, strengthening the power of the Frost Plague even further.

They might have resisted the Frost Plague, but the worst is still to come.

A large amount of Abyssal lifeforms had been infected by the Frost Plague and their power had been greatly strengthened, and all ice spells would carry Curio's evil power. The pitch-black ice looked like frozen black blood, giving everyone a chill.

The Evil Water Elementals had become pitch-black and looked like a ball of black water as they rolled. Their speed wasn't fast, but the attacks of the Evil Water Elementals was extremely terrifying. Balls of pitch-black water were thrown one after the other by these Evil Water Elementals.

The head-sized balls of water seemed no different than the ordinary ball of water, but the power it released on impact was not inferior to a strengthened Bursting Fireball.

The exploding black water would fill the cracks in the ground caused by the ice shards, and there was no less than several hundred Evil Water Elementals!

The countless headsized black water balls fell down like a black rain, forcing everyone to dodge left and right, scattering the team that had just been gathered.

Then, those Frost Demons dove down while letting out a strange shout. They opened their mouths and sprayed stinky black water, that black water kept bubbling on the ground as the smell attacked their nostrils.

The almost indestructible ground was getting corroded by the black water, covering it in small holes from that powerful acid.

Everyone readied Fire Shields to defend themselves, causing crackling sounds to echo on contact, nearly exhausting a Fire Shield in a few seconds.

Everyone was retreating, but this couldn't really be called a retreat, because Abyssal lifeforms were also besieging them from the back, especially the path to the teleportation array, there was a large amount of Evil Water Elementals and Frost Demons, they couldn't just dash over.

Lin Yun had fixed most of the teleportation array, he just didn't have time, and the opportunity, to restore it, he could only suppress these Abyssal lifeforms first.

They retreated again and again, large amount of spells would kill dozens of Abyssal lifeforms every second, but it wasn't worth it.

At such a crucial time, Curio's second claw forced its way out of the Abyssal Gate. The two thick claws gathered together as Curio loudly chanted in Abyssal Language.

One black Abyssal Rune after the other came out from his mouth, turning into a small black disk revolving in midair. These runes attached themselves to the disk and made it grow bigger and bigger.

After three seconds, that rotating black disk had reached a dozen meters in diameter.

A terrifying aura spread out from this black disk, freezing many particles in the air, causing a hailstorm.

Then, Curio raised that disk and forcibly threw it forward.

The huge disk moved forward with huge momentum, thrown by Curio like a normal stone with terrifying speed. Flying over a dozen meters in one second, before the outer shell started exploding.

The layers of black runes were like countless Frost Spikes shooting in all directions as the disk flew forward. Regardless of what was hit by these black runes, it would immediately freeze into an ice statue.

The disk crossed another dozen meters in a second, exploding once again and scattering a large amount of black runes.

Dozen of Evil Water Elementals were too slow to dodge were hit by the Frost Spike-like black runes. In a split second, a dozen of Evil Water Elementals, who had already been infected by the Frost Plague, were turned into ice statues, before turning into fragments of black ice as the disk kept exploding.

"Absolute Freeze! Sh*t! Dodge!" Enderfa roared.

His three faces were a bit twisted, Absolute Freeze was a large-scale ice spell known for its ability to freeze everything, even flames would be instantly frozen. Those unlucky Abyssal lifeforms couldn't resist it, even Elemental lifeforms, like Evil Water Elementals, were instantly frozen.

After exploding several times, the black disk had already covered two hundred meters, freezing everything in its path. Those elemental lifeforms blocking its way were instantly turned into ice statues before being shattered to pieces.

A large amount of fire spells were cast by the dozen survivors. Apart from Reina, everyone was using fire spells, and with so many spells aimed in the same direction, their shapes couldn't be seen, they kept colliding and attracting each other, making all the fire spells come together into an extremely terrifying fire elemental storm.

But that fire elemental storm was still suppressed by the Absolute Freeze. The outer layer of the storm was already freezing. After a few seconds, it exploded into shards and the center was forcibly extinguished.

Lin Yun kept casting spells with an icy expression. He kept thinking of a way to solve this, but he had already used the Purple Dragon Magic Tool Incarnation and couldn't use it for the time being, he could only use the Element Chapter, but the Element Chapter's mana consumption was too high, especially when using High Tier Spells, it doubled or tripled the consumption.

When facing Curio, this Lesser Abyssal Overlord proficient in ice magic, the Element Chapter by itself wouldn't bring too much effect.

Lin Yun raised his Draconic Staff, holding the Book of Death in the other hand, and cast a Fire God Spear, impaling one Abyssal lifeform after another.

He also used Sea of Fire and used his Fire Elemental Incarnation and Flame Flash to keep flashing through this sea of fire, that way, he would dodge most ice spells.

The others were using their own methods, continuously retreating and dodging, killing as many Abyssal lifeforms as possible.

After more than a minute, Curio let a deafening roar, his aura sharply increasing.

Chapter 671: Don't Move

Translator: Shiraishi Editor: TheAlliance

Elsa paled as she watched Curio leave the Abyssal Gate, her body faintly shaking. It was even more unbearable for Jeremy, his appearance had distorted from fear.

The other Dark Elves were so scared that they couldn't keep casting their spells efficiently.

The Dark Elves were the one with the most understanding of Curio's power. In those days, the most talented Dark Elf ended up at a disadvantage when facing Curio and didn't even have a chance at defeating him, let alone killing him…

Curio raised his hands and let out a terrifying shout, a tornado of black ice fragments revolving around him. He clearly had yet to reach level 39, but his aura was a lot more powerful than an ordinary level 39 powerhouse!

A huge body over a hundred meters tall seemingly made of black ice. When it left the Abyssal Gate, Curio casually grabbed a handful of Abyssal lifeforms. They let out miserable shouts, but they were powerless as Curio threw them in his mouth.

"Crunch…"

It sounded like he was forcibly biting on an ice cube. The dozen of Abyssal lifeforms were chewed on a few times by Curio before a stinky stream of black blood leaked from the corner of his mouth.

Before the blood could even touch the ground, it froze.

Curio punched his own chest and loudly roared, it spat countless Abyssal Runes which fell on his body and condensed into a sinister armor.

That black ice armor seemed to have been made based on Abyssal Black Iron armors, it simply didn't look like it was made out of black ice.

Everyone felt even more frightened as they saw that, while Lin Yun's expression sank.

As a Lesser Abyssal Overlord, he originally was powerful enough, but they hadn't expected that after Curio left the Abyssal Gate, the first thing he would do was actually equipping his own ice armor.

Zeuss bitterly smiled before continuing to cast.

'Damn, as the Lesser Overlord of the 30th Floor, he can be considered a formidable powerhouse, how could he be so shameless.'

'We can barely resist his normal attacks, we can't even go through these Abyssal lifeforms, so why is he so worried?'

'What's this? How could he be so shameless as to cast such an abnormal ice armor, and a variant ice armor too.'

'I know how formidable Frost Giants are, their bodies are extremely powerful, and their physical defenses are comparable to Dragons. You also have a Demon's head, we can see your Abyssal Demon heritage with one look, and it's the bloodline of an Abyssal Overlord at the very least, can't you resist 6th and 5th Tier Spells with your own body?'

'Why are you using such a formidable defensive spell, are you that shameless?'

'Don't you have powerful spells? Attack spells? Why using a defensive one?'

Zeuss was feeling bitter. He saw Curio actually using a defensive spell and immediately started cursing him inwardly.

Then, Curio started his attacks.

That huge 100m tall body took a few steps forward, crossing several dozen meters with one step, and shaking the group with each step.

With a wave of his hand, a large amount of ice spells flew out, consisting of several hundred Iceblades, Frost Lances, and Frost Spikes. The pitch-black ice spells turned into a hailstorm moving towards the group.

With each wave of his arm, a large amount of ice spells would fall, and after a few seconds, the black hailstorm fell on everyone's heads.

Several dozen Evil Legless Birds were hit by that rain of ice, but that didn't stop these savage Abyssal lifeforms, they instead became even more savage as they all knew what it meant: Curio was unhappy.

The battle had been ongoing for a long time, yet Lesser Abyssal Overlord Curio still had to personally make a move. If this continued, the first thing Curio would do after the battle would be clearing out these trashes.

All those Abyssal lifeforms attacked in a suicidal way, encircling Lin Yun's group from all directions and greatly decreasing the space they could use to move.

The increased pressure and the non-stop casting made everyone feel their limits, they were gritting their teeth while holding onto their Fire Shields, continuously casting, because they would end up overrun by these Abyssal lifeforms if they didn't.

There would be only one outcome to being surrounded, they would be hit by Curio's powerful spells.

Within the next few minutes, due to Curio's flood of spells, they were all forced to group up, and their moving space was reduced to a hundred meters.

At this time, they all saw a scene that made them despair. Curio nastily grinning while raising both hands before roaring.

Countless Abyssal Runes, made out of black smoke, quickly appeared in front of Curio, before converging in the sky in a black smoke.

When these countless Abyssal Runes reached the sky, they converged into a huge aura that chilled their minds.

"Rumble…"

A deafening sound echoed, over a hundred meters of black smoke rushed down, looking like a huge black meteor falling down, shaking the air and space around it as it fell, to the point where the space couldn't handle the burden and shook.

After it got closer, everyone could see those Abyssal Runes surging within the black smoke, a large amount of ice roused within.

Countless thick Frost Spikes fell down like a rain, covering the entire area.

Elsa's expression greatly changed as she roused the ultimate magic pattern on her forehead to cast Wood Barrier and protect everyone.

The power of the Wood Barrier was fully displayed in this God Nation. Lin Yun previously had a taste of it and his flood of spells had assaulted it for a few minutes without breaking it. This already surpassed the power of a 5th Tier Ultimate Spell.

On the Wisdom Tree, the power of this ultimate defensive spell could already compare to 6th Tier Ultimate Spells.

The next second, the thick Frost Spikes fell down on every corner of the Wood Barrier, violently shaking it. Elsa's complexion turned deathly pale within a second, 10% of her mana had been used in that instant.

After the thick Frost Spikes fell down, a ball made of boundless Abyssal Runes also fell down.

Unexpectedly, that huge black sphere had no destructive power, it was just a ball of smoke, and it dispersed when hitting the floor.

But something happened when they were about to sigh in relief…

Within a hundred meters, seven to eight meters long Frost Spikes thrust out of the ground, covering the entire area.

More Frost Spikes appeared out of thin air, hovering in the sky.

In an instant, Frost Spikes completely filled the hundred meters wide, several dozen meters high area. They shot towards the group, sharply colliding against each other.

Within a few seconds, over a thousand Frost Spikes burst out in this small area.

The space started fluctuating and trembling.

One spatial crack after another was roused, but these rifts were forcibly suppressed by the bursting power in an instant, until there was no room for the spatial cracks to even appear here…

Three seconds…

Elsa's eyes started rolling on their own, her complexion becoming deathly gray, ripples appearing on the Wood Barrier.

Lin Yun's face was pale white as he poured Mana Water in Elsa's mouth, and because he used too much power, he ended up prickling Elsa's mouth by breaking the bottle.

A large amount of pure condensed liquid mana allowed Elsa to quickly recover her mana, but it could only keep up with the consumption.

"What are you doing!" Seeing the thick Frost Spikes falling onto the Wood Barrier, Jeremy, who was contemplating what he should do if the Wood Barrier broke, saw Lin Yun pouring an unknown potion in Elsa's mouth and then saw blood flowing out of Elsa's mouth.

He immediately became enraged.

"Don't move!" The enraged Jeremy was stopped by Elsa. The dying Elsa had somehow recovered a bit of color, her situation greatly improving.

At that time, Jeremy noticed that Lin Yun had poured some sort of mana recovery potion in Elsa's mouth.

Mana was a deadly temptation to Dark Elves, it was also their life source. Losing their mana was akin to losing their life, it was a torture for their minds and bodies.

The best way to torture a Dark Elf was extracting their mana.

That Mana Water was the liquid mana within the Demiplane's mana pond, it was made of pure mana condensed into a liquid state. Ordinary mages couldn't directly drink it, because the mana was too rich and the effects too good.

But Dark Elves didn't have this kind of worry. That bottle of Mana Water not only would recover their mana instantly, it was something equivalent to the Life Water.

Lin Yun had carefully taken a bit with him when he entered the Demiplane, but he hadn't expected to use it so soon. Elsa's Wood Barrier had left a deep impression in his mind, as long as she still had mana, it was almost indestructible.

Chapter 672: Hell Bull

Translator: Shiraishi Editor: TheAlliance

Moreover, the more mana, the longer it could last. In theory, as long as the enemy's burst didn't exceed the defense of this Wood Barrier, it would be an absolute defense as long as there was enough mana.

Lin Yun wasn't happy in the slightest after blocking Curio's Frost Hell, because he had been forced to use another card.

If Elsa stopped her Wood Barrier, she would need some time before she could use it again.

And they were completely suppressed by Curio at this moment, the situation was even less optimistic after losing that card…

The Frost Hell was frantically erupting outside of the Wood Barrier. Countless black Frost Spikes started dissipating. Through the thin layer of the Wood Barrier, Lin Yun could see the crazy Curio, apparently furious that the spell he was proud of didn't kill them.

Then, he saw Curio's raising his right claw and pointing one of his fingers at Lin Yun's group. Boundless black ice shards turned into a vortex slowly converging at the tip of Curio's finger.

The black smoke's Abyssal Runes suddenly came down, seemingly drawn in as they moved in front of Curio.

A head-sized black light ball appeared before Curio. This was extremely small when compared to the 100m tall Curio.

But that black light ball kept shrinking as more and more runes and power gathered.

This even made them wonder how that light could be so flashy.

"Dodge! It's Eternal Frost!"

Reina, who usually remained silent, only following Lin Yun like a shadow, was now fearful to the point of shouting from fright.

As a Frost Dragon, no one understood ice magic more than her. She even knew ice spells she couldn't use like the back of her claw. Seeing the black dot at the tip of Curio's finger, she couldn't remain silent.

Hearing Reina's voice, Elsa's expression greatly changed and she unexpectedly discarded the Wood Barrier.

But Lin Yun and the others reacted even faster, using their own methods to forcibly dodge, not even caring if they got injured while dodging the other ice spells on the way.

Even Zeuss was faster, he used the Crystal Scales just as the Wood Barrier disappeared and rushed towards the surrounding ice spells, dodging to the side.

Elsa also ignored the others and used a Flame Burst against the ground, using the power of the recoil to send herself flying to the side, spitting blood in the process.

But not everyone was as fast as the members of Lin Yun's group. Those few remaining Dark Elves weren't as fast.

Two of them only had time to take two steps to the side before the finger-sized black ball burst out.

The thick black light stretched across the space, seemingly not needing any travel time, leaving a several hundred meters long black beam in its path as it hit the original location of the Wood Barrier.

"Boom!"

The space violently shook, before recovering within a second, suppressed.

It was because the pillar, which shook the space also completely froze the crack!

The space that had been pierced by the light ended up frozen into a thigh thick, several hundred meters long transparent pillar!

From that point on, this pillar of frozen space would forever remain there, and no fluctuations would ever appear in that transparent spatial pillar!

As for those two Dark Elves who didn't have time to escape, parts of their bodies were grazed by the black light, and their entire bodies ended up freezing in an instant.

The two were still dodging fear and alarm was still visible on their faces, frozen for all eternity.

After dodging, the group all had terrible pale expressions.

Eternal Frost was known as the most powerful single target ice spell!

Whatever the frost came in contact with would end up frozen. Air, elements, people, things, magic…

Everything would remain frozen forever.

This spell's most formidable user was the Frost God.

During the peak of the Magic Era, after boundless planes had been colonized, those powerful mages discovered three planes tied together, wandering through the boundless void.

Those three planes were apparently linked by a pillar of frozen space, looking just like snacks on a stick, forever linked together.

The several kilometers long space ice pillar was running through the three planes, and countless things could be seen in that frozen pillars, people, things, spells, space, time…

Everything was frozen together.

This power was hard to accept even at the peak of Noscent.

Later, clues were found on these three wandering planes, hinting at the identity of the culprit.

It was the not-so-well-known Frost God, during the Ascian Era!

At that time, the Frost God used Eternal Frost, only pointing his finger and piercing through three lined up planes. The several dozen kilometers ray of light pierced through the horizon, freezing everything in its path.

That was an eternal power, whoever was hit by the Eternal Frost would have both their body and soul frozen at that exact moment, even time and thoughts were frozen!

How could Lin Yun not know of such a famous ice spell? That had been one of the few described God Spells in the library, just from that description, Lin Yun had been very interested in that spell.

Eternal Frost, Single Target 8th Tier Ice Spell.

Long preparation time, easy to evade, area of effect minimal. All these shortcomings weren't enough to make up for that power.

Just in terms of power, no 8th Tier Spell could compare to Eternal Frost!

Lin Yun's back was drenched in cold sweat. Even his soul would be frozen if he had been hit by it. And only Heaven Rank powerhouses might have a chance at dispelling the effects of the Eternal Frost.

Casting Eternal Frost seemed to have consumed quite a bit of Curio's mana. He flew into a rage and shouted before dashing towards Lin Yun's group, swatting away the Abyssal Demons in its way, apparently interested in a melee battle.

As long as he didn't cast, they would be able to take a breath.

Lin Yun frowned and once again opened his Element Chapter. Under the rousing of his mana, a large amount of fire-attributed power flew out from the Element Chapters. In midair, a huge vortex of flames started to appear, instantly growing to be a dozen meters large.

A dense aura of flames came out of that fire vortex, quickly increasing the density of fire elements in the atmosphere, then, a serpentine Fire Dragon stretched out of the fire vortex.

"Roar."

A deafening Dragon Roar echoed as a large amount of flames condensed in the air, one flame after another transforming into boiling lava spraying down from the sky.

One Flame Elemental Dragon was summoned by Lin Yun, its body formed from the condensed convergence of fire elements, it was one of the most powerful Elemental lifeforms of the Fire Elemental Plane.

Lin Yun poured all his mana in, not even sparing the mana within his Alchemic Mana Whirlpool, even using the Mana Water. This was the most formidable Flame Elemental Dragons he ever summoned.

That pure elemental body was several dozen meters long, and it wouldn't die unless the elements were completely extinguished. Not to mention, it was extremely powerful in melee, and possessed the purest fire spell casting abilities.

It would be able to delay Curio for a bit.

After summoning the Flame Elemental Dragon, Lin Yun clenched his teeth and chanted another incantation, summoning a Hellgate behind Curio and pouring a large amount of mana to enlarge it.

A dozen meters large Hellgate appeared behind Curio, his eyes flickered when he felt the thick hellish aura. He immediately turned around, as a level 36 Hellish magic beast came from the Hellgate.

This was a bull-like hellish magic beast, covered in lava. Its body was filled with irregular cracks, and through these cracks, one could see the terrifying flowing Hellfire.

Just as it left the Hellgate, the Hell Bull's sight directly went over Curio, ignoring the other Abyssal lifeforms before falling on Lin Yun.

Hell's lifeforms were arrogant and unyielding, betraying was normal to them. An ordinary contract couldn't restrict these cruel creatures.

Regardless of what hell lifeform was summoned, the first thing they would do would be getting rid of their summoner. They would regain their freedom as long as they got rid of their summoner and would be able to move freely within that world.

Noscent was a paradise for Hellish lifeforms. There was so many things there that didn't exist in Hell. That place was filled with poisons and chaotic flames, how could the outside world not be more interesting than Hell?

The only way to obtain the cooperation of a Hellish lifeform was enslaving them.

The Hell Bull first looked at Lin Yun before spitting out Hellfire. The Abyssal aura in the surroundings made it very uncomfortable.

Especially that Frost Giant emitting a thick Abyssal aura, it was annoying the bull even more. But getting rid of its summoner was its first priority.

No one would be able to stop it!

The Hell Bull sprayed Hellfire towards Curio, burning a part of his armor and creating a large amount of mist as the golden crimson flames came in contact with the black ice.

Then, the Hell Bull started charging towards Lin Yun.

Unfortunately, Curio was in front, and became even more violent after being provoked. Curio was enraged, the two colossus didn't hesitate and immediately fought on the spot.

The Flame Elemental Dragon, Curio, the Hell Bull, the three of them started an unstoppable chaotic melee. The pressure on Lin Yun's side was greatly decreased, and the amount of Abyssal lifeforms left was something they could now deal with.
