Chapter 585: Preparations Before Entering

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

In the vast Void Zone, it seemed that there was no end to it.

"Whoosh."

A huge flying ship gradually appeared in the Void Zone.

"According to the dimension map, there's a dimension not far away."

Merlin carefully looked at the dimension map in the flying ship.

He left the Shkedu Dimension, and had flown for several years but he was still drifting in the Void Zone, which showed how vast the Void Zone was. Moreover, all the places he had passed were within the sphere of influence of the Spell Caster civilization. He had not set foot in any foreign civilizations or vast open areas.

Even so, he had flown for several years, and still had not reached the Saitu Dimension.

"The dimension in front is an open dimension. I can go there and rest."

Merlin understood from the dimension map that the next dimension was an open dimension. That meant that the dimension's master did not reject other Spell Casters from entering, and even exchange some items in the dimension, much like the Shkedu Dimension.

There were some dimension masters who did not wish to be disturbed or because the living creatures in the dimension were not strong enough, so they did not open up the dimension. Others would not be able to enter the dimension without the master's permission. Otherwise, it would be regarded as a provocation to a Great Legend.

In general, Great Legends who had signed the Legends' Accord would not force themselves into a dimension that was not open.

In the Aurora Ship, Merlin soon saw an unusually beautiful dimension in front emitting multicolored lights.

This dimension was different from all the other dimensions Merlin had seen before. Not only was this dimension large but it also emitted a variety of lights like colored ribbons, enveloping the entire dimension.

However, upon closer look, he was shocked to find that it was a gigantic Runic Magic Circle that shrouded the entire dimension. Runology had grown by leaps and bounds after Spell Casters stepped into the Void Zone but it really was quite outrageous that it grew to the point of being able to shroud an entire dimension with a Runic Magic Circle.

Even the Great Wizard Fidel, who had very high attainments in Runology, did not have such an ability. However, if the Great Wizard Fidel could become a Great Legend after entering the Void Zone, perhaps his attainments in runology would be even higher.

Merlin urged the Aurora Ship toward the dimension, and the Runic Heartprint between his eyebrows also flickered, wanting to thoroughly understand this gigantic Runic Magic Circle.

However, as Merlin expected, even the Runic Heartprint was unable to see through this Runic Magic Circle.

"Whoosh."

Merlin slowly flew into the dimension. This dimension had a pleasant and appropriate name called that Rainbow Dimension, meaning that it was like a rainbow.

Merlin urged the Aurora Ship, and had just flown into the Rainbow Dimension when three Great Wizards immediately appeared before him. Merlin's heart jolted, and he immediately put on his guard, ready to cast Darkness Eye at a moment's notice.

These recent years, Merlin encountered a few dimensions where he was immediately attacked after entering the dimension. Merlin later learned that some Spell Casters had prepared to ambush when unfamiliar Spell Casters appeared, where they would initiate a flood of attacks.

Spell Casters like these were not much different from plunderers. However, they did not have the ability of plunderers, and could not plunder the dimension's Elemental Origin, so they specialized in plundering other Spell Casters instead!

Merlin had experienced this several times but he killed them instead. Therefore, seeing this situation now, he immediately became alarmed.

"Please calm down. In the Rainbow Dimension, no one dares to do anything so brazenly!"

One of the Great Wizards hurriedly waved his hand.

"Oh? Then what are you doing?"

Merlin did not ease his vigilance. His eyes constantly scanned the three Great Wizards.

"I believe you don't know about the Rainbow Dimension. The Rainbow Dimension is the last dimension in the dimension map that the Spell Caster civilization can influence. After leaving the Rainbow Dimension, you'll enter a much bigger Void Zone. There, you'll encounter foreign civilizations or maybe even discover new barren dimensions or encounter various types of wondrous things. In short, this place is a paradise for adventurers. As long as you have ambition and courage, you can choose to enter it to experience it yourself!"

Merlin nodded thoughtfully. It was not like he was completely clueless about the Rainbow Dimension. He knew that the Rainbow Dimension was seemingly the last dimension marked by the Spell Caster civilization on the dimension map.

Of course, that did not mean that the Spell Caster civilization only had the Rainbow Dimension. Perhaps in the open territory, there were also many Spell Casters who had controlled several dimensions. However, due to some special reasons such as competition between foreign civilizations, these dimensions would be full of uncertainty. It was a more chaotic and dangerous area.

Therefore, in such a situation, no one could count just how many foreign civilizations were there. The Spell Caster civilization was just one of those many civilizations. Although not many civilizations had a clear-cut stand during confrontations, there were endless fights and battles over dimensions.

Merlin knew that he might face some troubles after determining the coordinates of the Saitu Dimension. That was because the Saitu Dimension was located in the open territory, and was not protected by the Spell Caster civilization.

In other words, if there were foreign plunderers in the open territory, the Spell Caster civilization would not bother them as it would be too easy to cause fierce confrontations between civilizations. It would do more harm than good.

"Back then, it was Wizard Saitu who had plundered a barren dimension here by chance! It's just that after so many years, it's hard to say whether Wizard Saitu is still in the dangerous open territory."

Merlin's heart sank slightly. He had to be careful in such a dangerous place.

Hearing the explanation from the three Great Wizards in front of him, Merlin nodded. "In other words, the three of you are trying to make me join you on the foray?"

"Join us? That's not wrong. We already have three Great Wizards. If you're interested, we can immediately sign an agreement. Even if we find a barren dimension, we can take turns to comprehend the Elemental Origin, and split the resources and treasures found in it equally!"

The most fundamental reason these Great Wizards took risks was because of Elemental Origins. Of course, they did not have the power to directly plunder Elemental Origins and form Maxims. However, if they could comprehend the Elemental Origin, condensing Maxims would become much easier.

If one could obtain a dimension for a thousand years, then a peak Great Wizard's chances of forming a Maxim would increase by at least twenty percent!

Although it was only twenty percent, it was already quite terrifying. If a peak Great Wizard wanted to form a Maxim, it would already be considered good if their success rate was ten percent. Most did not even have a ten percent chance. By controlling a dimension, they could increase the success rate to twenty percent. It was not surprising that those these Great Wizards were so crazy.

"Those aren't bad conditions. However, I'm not a Great Wizard!"

Merlin kept the Aurora Ship, and emitted the life force on his body. His Seventh-level Spell Caster life force was very obvious, and the three Great Wizards' expressions instantly darkened slightly.

"Sigh, what a shame. With such a good casting tool, we thought that it would belong to a powerful Great Wizard. Who would have thought…"

The three Great Wizards shook their heads and left. They would not waste their time on a Seventh-level Spell Caster who was of no use to them.

In the open territory, there were many powerful foreign tribes. Even Great Wizards had to gather a few dozen before entering, much less a Seventh-level Spell Caster.

"They're so practical."

Merlin looked at the three Great Wizards in ridicule, and shook his head. If one was not a Great Wizard, it was indeed easy to be "ignored" in a place like this.

Merlin then continued downward, and soon found a place to land. He spent some elemental crystal stones to live in a quiet room.

Then, Merlin began to freely wander the streets that were full of powerful Great Wizards. There were very few Ninth-level Spell Casters, so Seventh-level Spell Casters like himself really "stood out".

Besides Spell Casters, Merlin also saw a few strange foreign tribes. They even openly walked in a Spell Caster civilization's dimension.

Upon closer understanding, Merlin found out that these foreign tribes were foreign civilizations that had better relations with the Spell Caster civilization. After all, in the Void Zone, there were many foreign civilizations. There were enemies such as the Rock Tribe that were hostile to the Spell Caster civilization.

However, some foreign civilizations were friendly or neutral, where they did not have any concerns. For example, the Giant civilization was too far away from the Spell Caster civilization but both sides were relatively friendly.

The Rainbow Dimension was on the edge of chaotic open territory, so there would naturally be many foreign tribes. Perhaps it would be difficult to encounter a foreign tribe in other places, but it was quite a common sight here.

"Looks like it's quite dangerous to enter the open territory to find the Saitu Dimension. I need to make sufficient preparations. First, I'll need a more detailed dimension map for the open territory!"

Merlin knew that dimension maps were very important. They could help one avoid dangerous areas such as places occupied by powerful foreign tribes. If they approached accidentally, those foreign tribes would not ask for a reason and directly act.

Therefore, a detailed dimension map was extremely important!

Merlin strolled for a long while before finally arriving at a store that was more luxurious and decorated. In it was all sorts of things that Merlin did not recognize, and most were items from foreign tribes. After these foreign tribes were killed, Spell Casters would drag their corpses to the Rainbow Dimension and start selling them openly.

"Do you have a dimension map here?"

Merlin looked at the dazzling items but none of them caught his interest, so he asked directly.

"Honored Wizard, you need a dimension map for the open territory?"

A gray-robed Wizard asked respectfully.

"Yes, after coming here, I naturally need to buy a dimension map for the open territory."

Merlin had a dimension map, but there were very few maps of the open territory. Furthermore, the prices were quite costly, and could only be bought in the Rainbow Dimension since they were generally not circulated.

Several Spell Casters even especially entered the open territory in order to draw precise dimension maps, and then earn large amounts of elemental crystal stones from them.

The gray-robed Wizard looked at Merlin and smiled. "We have an extremely accurate dimension map. It was planned by ten Great Wizards three days ago, but only seven had returned. It's definitely the most accurate dimension map."

The gray-robed Wizard did his best to praise the dimension map, and Merlin said impatiently, "You don't have to explain so much. How many elemental crystal stones does it cost?"

"If you really need it, then the most detailed dimension map only costs five hundred thousand elemental crystal stones!"

The gray-robed Wizard pondered before reporting an amount.

"What? Five hundred thousand elemental crystal stones?"

A sharp light flashed in Merlin's eyes. He almost thought this gray-robed Wizard was committing daylight robbery. In general, dimension maps cost a few tens of thousands of elemental crystal stones at most, but this person wanted five hundred thousand elemental crystal stones. Even if Merlin had a lot of elemental crystal stones, he did not want to be regarded as an idiot.

"Honored Wizard, this is the newest dimension map that three Great Wizards sacrificed their lives for. This is already a low price. Of course, if you don't want to use the newest map, we have other maps drawn a while ago. They might not be very detailed, but they're also quite good. One costs only a hundred thousand elemental crystal stones!"

"There are even cheaper alternatives if you want them which costs only twenty thousand elemental crystal stones but they were drawn one hundred years ago.

After the gray-robed Wizard had finished speaking, he quietly waited for Merlin's decision.

Merlin gritted his teeth. A dimension map had to be the most detailed, otherwise, there was no use for it as one could even be misled! Furthermore, he wanted to enter the open territory to find the Saitu Dimension, so he naturally needed the most detailed map to find a safer route. Otherwise, it was extremely dangerous to enter in a muddle-headed way.

"I'll buy it. Give me the latest and most detailed map!"

Merlin said lowly, and took out five hundred thousand elemental crystal stones. Very quickly, the gray-robed Wizard carefully took out a perfectly mounted dimension map.

Merlin gave it a cursory glance and saw that it was indeed very detailed. However, he still had to take it back to study it. Three Great Wizards had lost their lives just to draw this map. Merlin had to be extremely careful, and be fully prepared if he wanted to enter the open territory to find the Saitu Dimension.

Seeing Merlin's departing back, the smile on the gray-robed Wizard's face gradually fell. He shook his head helplessly and sighed. "Another one who bought the latest map and preparing to enter the open territory. The open territory isn't peaceful recently. I heard that another Wizard discovered a barren dimension. Tsk tsk, there's only a slim chance of survival if he goes in now."

The gray-robed Wizard simply sighed. After so many years in the Rainbow Dimension, he had lost count of the number of brilliant and ambitious Spell Casters who entered the open territory, and never came back…

Chapter 586: Barren Dimension?

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

In the quiet room, Merlin gently took out the precious dimension map which he had just obtained. This map cost five hundred thousand elemental crystal stones. Although with Merlin's financial resources, five hundred thousand elemental crystal stones were not much, it still slightly hurt.

Looking at the areas marked on the dimension map, Merlin also felt his eye brightened. These territories were all clearly marked, and the "common map" he bought before this had no such thing.

According to the coordinates of the dimension, Merlin found a blank area in the bottom left corner of the dimension map. Obviously, the Great Wizards who drew this dimension map had not entered that place before but there was no doubt that the Saitu Dimension was in it.

"This place is a little dangerous!"

Merlin frowned, and studied the map carefully. He found that this path really was quite dangerous. There were a few dimensions occupied by foreign tribes. If he was not careful and went too near, it might cause violent reactions from the other side.

It was very difficult to find a relatively safe passage from this area to the area where the Saitu Dimension was located.

"The open territory really is too large. Perhaps even Great Legends won't have any ways of knowing just how large it is. If one finds a barren dimension in it, and secretly controls it without anyone knowing, they could rely on the Elemental Origin of the dimension to comprehend the Matrix!"

Merlin also slowly understood why the open territory attracted so many Spell Casters. Not only Great Legends but even Great Wizards and some ninth-level Spell Casters would come to try their luck.

The fundamental reason was that the open territory was too vast. If Wizards found a barren dimension, they might go for a few hundreds or thousands of years without being discovered. They would not have to worry about those Great Legends at all.

Of course, if they were found, it would be extremely dangerous. It would be as good as encountering some terrifying plunderers.

Merlin raised his head, and countless thoughts flashed in his mind. From what he saw on the map, there were several dimensions that were controlled by foreign tribes comparable to Great Legends. It would be very disastrous for Merlin to approach them with his current strength.

"If only Didimoss was here."

Merlin was also helpless. Didimoss was taken away by Wizard Setoh, making Merlin feel uneasy.

Merlin's strongest power now was Darkness Eye and the Four-Elemental combined Spell. He had also reached the second step of his Hallucinating Spell that could plunge most Great Wizards into an illusion.

Such power was already quite commendable. However, in the open territory, there were no guarantees. Even Great Legends would be besieged and killed by some foreign tribes, much less Merlin.

"I need to be fully prepared before I go!"

Merlin gritted his teeth, and quickly projected his Mind Power into the illusion bead.

"Titus!"

Merlin went to Titus, and said with a grave expression, "Titus, can I mobilize the Illusory World in the illusion bead?"

Titus raised his head in surprise. "Wizard Merlin, as explained previously, with your current Mind Power, it's impossible to mobilize the Illusory World. You'll only be able to barely mobilize the Illusory World if you form a Ninth-level Mind Heart or reach the Illusory Heart, and fully fuse with the Illusory World…"

Merlin waved his hand to interrupt Titus before he had finished speaking. He looked at Titus with intense eyes and smiled coldly. "What if you're included?"

"Me? Wizard Merlin, I'm just a trace of Mind Power."

Titus' expression did not change as he said calmly.

Merlin continued to sneer while staring at Titus. If he had strength comparable to a peak Great Wizard, and went into the open territory, it would already be considered lucky if he did not encounter any troubles. If he really did, then it might be extremely dangerous. Hence, he had to be prepared.

However, the Illusory World could confuse Legends. If Merlin could use such great power, he would have some confidence to wander the open territory.

As the creator of the Illusory World, Merlin did not believe that Titus could not do anything about the Illusory World even if he just had a trace of Mind Power left.

Seeing Merlin's eyes grow colder and colder, after a long moment, Titus finally let out a long sigh, and shrugged helplessly. "Alright, I can grasp a little of the Illusory World but what I can do to help is very limited. With my present Mind Power, I can only mobilize the Illusory World for a short time at best. Moreover, as the owner of the illusion bead, your help is needed to unleash the power of the Illusory World!"

The corners of Merlin's mouth revealed a smile. He felt long ago that it was impossible that the Mind Power Titus had left behind was unable to mobilize the Illusory World. Otherwise, he would not have been able to affect Spellcast City for so long.

"Good. What I'm going to do will be very dangerous but with your help, the success rate will increase greatly! However, I still need to confirm something. With your Mind Power, what will happen if you persist for too long?"

"I'll be annihilated. Completely annihilated! This part of my Mind Power will disintegrate and disappear. For you, there won't be much loss as the Illusory World will still exist. However, without me, it would be much more difficult for your Mind Power to fuse into the Illusory World in the future."

At this point, Titus could only tell the truth. Merlin was the one who had refined the illusion bead, and fundamentally suppressed him. Titus had no way to resist.

Merlin nodded, and took a deep breath. "Don't worry. Unless there's no other alternative, I won't make you mobilize the Illusory World!"

"Swoosh."

Merlin's Mind Projection instantly withdrew from the Illusory World.

In the room, Merlin slowly opened his eyes, his hand holding a white illusion bead. Merlin was very satisfied with Titus' answer.

However, just as Merlin told Titus, he would not mobilize the Illusory World unless absolutely necessary. After all, he did not intend to let Titus disappear completely.

This was just preparation!

"The preparations are almost ready. It's time to set out!"

Merlin stood up, and put the dimension map away. He took out the Aurora Ship, and instantly turned into a streak of light, flying away from the beautiful Rainbow Dimension.In the icy cold Void Zone, a flying ship quietly flew forward.

"Oh? It's a casting tool! He's alone. There's actually someone who dares to enter the open territory alone?"

In the vast Void Zone, a group of four Great Wizards also discovered the flying ship behind them, and warily looked at the flying ship.

Thankfully, the Elemental fluctuations emitted by the flying ship was obviously from a Spell Caster!

Although there was no distinction between civilizations and tribes in the open territory where everyone killed anyone else, it was still very chaotic. However, if a Spell Caster encountered another Spell Caster, as long as there was no reason to, they would not do anything.

When the two sides encountered each other like now, they had to release their life force in advance. Otherwise, no one could guarantee that the two sides would not act.

Although it was strange that a Wizard would dare to enter the open territory alone, the group of Great Wizards did not come forward to ask. In the open territory, they could remain friendly and not take action, but they would not approach willingly. That was a very provocative and dangerous act.

"Whoosh."

The flying ship swooped past the group, and its speed even quickened.

"Huh? He flew in that direction. Is he trying to compete for that newly discovered dimension?"

"Hehe, who knows how many strong and weak Great Wizards and foreign tribes have rushed over because of that newly discovered dimension. It'll end up in a terrible fight. Let's go somewhere else to try our luck. We might be able to find a barren dimension."

"It's true that even Great Legends will hear about that new dimension. It's not something we can get our hands on. It's better to try our luck somewhere else."

The group of Great Wizards cast a pitiful look at the flying ship getting farther away, and flew away in another direction.

In the flying ship, Merlin spread out his Mind Power in vigilance. Although this was very taxing on his Mind Power, Merlin still had to do it. Over the past few days, after he had entered the open territory, Merlin had already encountered several Spell Caster groups. Although there were no conflicts because of his Spell Caster life force, he was still very alert.

"This next section won't be as smooth. Many foreign tribes have already appeared in this area. My identity as a Spell Caster might become a hindrance instead!"

Merlin opened the dimension map. He had just entered the open territory. As the distance from the Rainbow Dimension was relatively near, those that he met on the previous sections were mostly Spell Casters. As they were all Spell Casters, there were no fights.

However, that might not be the case from now onward. The ones he met might not be Spell Casters but instead various strong members from foreign tribes. A Spell Caster's identity could no longer provide Merlin with benefits. He might even have to keep his life force.

Thus, Merlin used the Runic Heartprint and sealed the Aurora Ship using a Runic Magic Circle to ensure that no life force was leaked out. However, if an encounter was at close range, anyone would see at a glance that this was a Spell Caster's casting tool.

Until then, absolute vigilance had to be maintained.

The open territory was too vast and boundless. Judging by the dimension map, it seemed as if the area of the Saitu Dimension was not far but it was only after Merlin flew this far that he had realized that it would take several years to fly to the coordinates of the Saitu Dimension.

"It can't be helped. I'll just have to fly slowly!"

Merlin was also quite helpless. This was the prerequisite of casting tools. It was not surprising that even Great Legends needed to use casting tools. Otherwise, just by relying on a Spell Caster's flying speed, no one knew how long one would need to fly to get from one dimension to another.

Merlin also felt very tired. Not only did he need to maintain the speed of the Aurora Ship but he also had to release his Mind Power to be alert of the surroundings.

Every once in a while, Merlin repaired and recovered his Mind Power, replenished his Magic Power, and continued his flight. Although this area was said to be chaotic and very dangerous, Merlin's luck was quite good as he never encountered a single foreign tribe.

One year, two years, three years…

After flying for three full years, Merlin looked at the mark on the dimension map and finally revealed a smile. He was about to reach the area where the Saitu Dimension was located.

"The open territory isn't as dangerous as it's rumored to be. In such a large place, it's very difficult to encounter another foreign tribe… In another two months at most, I should be able to enter the area where the Saitu Dimension is located. Hopefully, I'll find the Saitu Dimension smoothly."

Merlin did not encounter any foreign tribes in these three whole years, so he had some doubts about the rumor. After all, the open territory was too large. No matter how many foreign tribes there were, it would not be easy to coincidentally encounter them.

"Whoosh."

Suddenly, Merlin's eyes lit up. He saw a huge white light enveloping an area in the Void Zone not far ahead.

"A dimension? There's a dimension but nothing is marked on the dimension map. Could my luck really be so good as to encounter a barren dimension?"

Merlin's eyes widened, and he could not help but get excited at the thought of a barren dimension. In the open territory, there was never a lack of legends of occasionally finding a barren dimension.

"A barren dimension! However, I'll still have to be careful. Let's take a look!"

Merlin continued spreading his Mind Power, and carefully urged the Aurora Ship toward the dimension in front.

Chapter 587: The Inceptive Dimension

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

In the tranquil dimension, there was a thick and sturdy tree over a hundred meters tall. However, the strange thing was, this tree had not taken root in the soil but was floating in the air.

The twisting and crisscrossing root system formed a web which fiercely gripped the air, silently extended throughout the empty space. The tremendous tangle of roots spread out eagerly, spearing through the earth, the rivers, and the air. It was a puzzling sight.

"Rumble."

The branches of the tree suddenly swayed fiercely, following which a giant face appeared on the trunk, wearing a grave expression as it mumbled to itself, "Discovered so quickly? It's only been a mere ten years' time! D*mn it, someone is flying toward the dimension. I must not let him leave or the position of this dimension won't be a secret anymore!"

This tree was equipped with consciousness. From the looks of it, it must be from the Tree Tribe civilization, one of the many civilizations in the Void Zone. They were known as the Tree Folk.

The Tree Tribe consisted of one Mother Tree. Nearly all the Tree Folks had split from this Mother Tree. The entire Tree Tribe had in fact, gradually evolved from this one Mother Tree.

The Mother Tree was equivalent to the Arcane Wizards of the Spell Caster civilization. This Mother Tree's special ability was its incredible defensive powers. Even two Arcane Wizards might not necessarily be able to injure the Mother Tree.

Therefore, among the many foreign civilizations, the Tree Tribe could be considered a relatively powerful one, similar to the Giant Tribe.

This gigantic tree was one such Tree Folk, having taken root in this dimension and harnessing the dimension's Origin Power. The Spell Caster civilization named a dimension's Origin Power as its Elemental Origin, but in fact, there was a common term for it – the Dimension Core.

This referred to the core of the dimension, which was extremely important to any tribe or civilization. This was also the fundamental cause of conflict over dimensions between the various tribes and civilizations who were fighting over the Dimension Core.

The Tree Folk shivered all over. Nine Tree Folks immediately appeared in mid-air. They were lush green all over, and verdant branches sprouted from their heads.

Creating nine Tree Saplings was the limit of this Tree Folk. Moreover, each of these Saplings possessed relatively formidable strength, able to compare to rather powerful Great Wizards.

"My children, go forth and help me kill that foreign intruder!"

The colossal tree spoke in a deep voice.

The nine Tree Saplings nodded respectfully, after which they quickly flew toward the exterior of the dimension, ready to stop the intruder in his path.The Aurora Ship was very fast. As Merlin cautiously approached the dimension, he did not sense any imprint on it.

"I'll go in for a look. If it really is a deserted dimension, I'll still have to be careful of the gods!"

Although Merlin was very tempted, he still appeared careful. In the open territory, if he was not careful, he would not last long.

"Swish."

Merlin entered in a single step, and flew into the dimension.

"Phew…" Merlin exhaled deeply as his Mind Power began to silently inspect this dimension.

"I can't believe this… There are no traces of a god's force! What pure Elements. This is definitely an Inceptive Dimension!"

An incredulous look crossed Merlin's face and his heart immediately leaped with joy. An Inceptive Dimension, as the name suggested, referred to a dimension that was born not long ago.

A dimension like this usually had not even given birth to intelligent life, and thus was naturally unable to produce any gods. However, it was not a dead and lifeless dimension. Conversely, it was bursting with life, and its Elemental Origin was abundant too.

An Inceptive Dimension like this could only be encountered through sheer luck. Countless Spell Casters and foreign tribes had dreamed of finding a dimension like this because an Inceptive Dimension typically meant that its Elemental Origin could be easily mastered, and one did not even have to deal with any gods.

"I've picked up a dimension…"

This thought now flashed across Merlin's mind. Finding an Inceptive Dimension was equivalent to acquiring an entire dimension without having to spend any effort.

"A brand-new Inceptive Dimension – I can take control of its Elemental Origin then…"

Just as Merlin was planning how to control this Inceptive Dimension, nine green sparks appeared in the distance, racing through the sky.

"Swish swish swish."

The nine sparks directly stopped at a distance not too far from Merlin, and revealed themselves. They turned out to be from a tribe that was green all over, appearing very bizarre.

"A foreign tribe?"

Merlin received a nasty surprise. At first, he thought this was a masterless dimension, but now it looked like another tribe had come before him. Based on their appearance, it was the Tree Tribe which was a troublesome opponent.

When Merlin was in the Rainbow Dimension, he had made sufficient preparations. He had specifically researched a few of the stronger foreign civilizations, one of which was the Tree Tribe civilization.

Therefore, when he saw these nine figures, he immediately recognized them as the Tree Tribe.

"Inescapable Net!"

The nine members of the Tree Tribe gave Merlin no chance to even speak, and instantly formed into a huge circle, enclosing Merlin in the middle. Thereafter, the legs of these nine Tree Folks instantly transformed into a complicated tangle of roots that grew like a tightly woven net as it was cast at Merlin. It practically sealed off the entire area.

The specialty of the Tree Tribe was their defense and binding. Once the Mother Tree of the Tree Tribe revealed its true form, turning into a massive skyscraping tree of unparalleled size, not even two Arcane Wizards would be able to overcome it.

This mystical ability of the Mother Tree was naturally inherited by the Tree Tribe. These nine Tree Folks were at best ordinary Tree Tribe members comparable to Great Wizards. Once they had joined forces and tried to seal and bind Merlin, they could become on par with a peak Great Wizard in an instant.

This was the terrifying thing about the Tree Tribe!

"Darkness Eye, summon Darkness Demon Spirit!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Merlin's hand flickered with beams of crimson light. Darkness descended, and a furious bellow pierced the air. The Darkness Demon Spirit, with its imposing body, stepped out from the darkness, its body gleaming with a blood-red glow. Its hands gripped the system of roots which was woven like a net and tore it apart viciously.

"Rip."

Countless roots were ripped to pieces as if a huge hole was forcibly torn in the giant net. Nonetheless, before Merlin could even rejoice, countless roots stretched out once more, mending the gap created by the Darkness Demon Spirit.

The Darkness Demon Spirit roared in rage once more, its giant hands madly grasping and tearing at the roots. However, the roots seemed to be endless, growing incessantly. They were able to easily patch up any hole. In the end, these roots had even gradually wound around the Darkness Demon Spirit.

The strength-type Darkness Demon Spirit was not effective at all against these Tree Folk, and was even restrained by them!

"Humph, fire!"

Ferocious flames abruptly exploded around Merlin. These were no mere flames but flames fused with Wind-type, Thunder-type, and Ice-type spells.

"Boom!"

The spell fusion exploded in an instant. The endless flames, in particular, spread along the roots and began to burn the Tree Folks. These nine Tree Folks who had the upper hand were now cast into chaos. Incapable of maintaining their binding, they fell apart in all directions.

These Tree Folks were trying to escape. Since Merlin had gained the upper hand, of course, he would not let them flee. He had prepared to wipe out all of these Tree Folks in a blow, then take over this dimension.

Even if he was incapable of creating a Maxim for now, mastering a dimension and its Elemental Origin would bring unimaginable benefits to Merlin's understanding of the Elements' Essence, his spell fusion, the growth of his Mind Power, and so on.

Thus, Merlin immediately gave chase.

"Whoosh."

Just as Merlin was speeding after them, he saw that the nine Tree Folks had quickly flown into a gigantic tree which was floating in mid-air, vanishing without a trace.

Merlin's expression gradually turned somber. He perceived an extraordinary force from this gigantic tree.

"Spell Caster, you shouldn't have come here. This dimension belongs to me, the great Tree Folk, Alcra!"

Following that, this colossal tree that had taken root in thin air began to tremble and sway violently as if space itself was quaking. Thereafter, the great tree glimmered with a green light, and turned into a well-built man with emerald skin.

There was a trace of apprehension in the haughty gaze the Tree Folk Alcra cast at Merlin. Previously, he had split apart nine Saplings which were a match for peak Great Wizards but they were unable to defeat the Spell Caster before him now. This Spell Caster's strength must at least be on par with a peak Great Wizard or even stronger.

However, Alcra was confident that he could defeat Merlin. He had been in this Inceptive Dimension for ten years, and had grown by leaps and bounds. His level of power was essentially that of a preeminent Great Wizard.

"The nine Tree Folks earlier were all your Saplings?"

Merlin's face shifted slightly. He knew generally about the unique abilities of the Tree Folk. They were able to grow out Saplings. Nine Saplings meant a Ninth-level Spell Caster.

His opponent was a Tree Folk that was equivalent to a Ninth-level Spell Caster but his Saplings were able to match against peak Great Wizards. He must be like Merlin, a being who was quite a freak.

"Of course, I'm a second-generation Tree Folk directly produced by the great Mother Tree with boundless potential. I'm something that the average Tree Folks cannot compare to. I wish no more than to be an upper rank Tree Folk. With this Inceptive Dimension, I'll be able to slowly absorb the dimension's Origin in a hundred years. Then I'll have a high chance of becoming an upper rank Tree Folk of the second generation."

The Tree Folk Alcra spoke, his eyes shining with pride.

Merlin could not help but feel somewhat bitter. Initially, he had thought he was lucky but did not expect to bump into a second-generation Tree Folk.

Merlin had some understanding of the Tree Tribe. The Tree Tribe was able to split into more Tree Folks as a way of reproducing but the more removed a generation was from the Mother Tree, the more inferior their strength and potential would be. If a Tree Folk was directly born from the Mother Tree, their potential would be enormous, and it was possible they could become a new Mother Tree.

It was just like the Dora Demon Tribe from the Bloodshed Universe. Dora Demons who possessed the Royal Demon blood obviously had greater strength than the rest. Alcra belonged to the second-generation Tree Folk. In terms of bloodline, he possessed pure and direct blood, along with endless potential.

It was not surprising that even before becoming an upper rank Tree Folk, he could erupt with the might of the most preeminent Great Wizard.

"Whiz."

Without warning, Merlin had boarded the Aurora Ship as soon as he can, frantically retreating. He had come here to locate the Saitu Dimension, and had no wish to cause extraneous trouble by becoming locked in a battle to the death with a Tree Folk who excelled at defense, comparable to a preeminent Great Wizard.

Therefore, he chose to leave, and would not fight with this Tree Folk over the Inceptive Dimension!

However, this was merely Merlin's own wishful thinking. The Tree Folk Alcra would not allow Merlin to leave. His great hand sprawled into countless thick roots that rapidly sealed off an area of a hundred miles. The space was practically turned into an enormous cage, and Merlin was trapped within.

"Spell Caster, you're trying to escape and summon companions who are even stronger? I'm afraid you won't get the chance…"

The Tree Folk Alcra spoke in a pitying tone as if the Spell Caster before him had already become nutrients for his roots.

Chapter 588: The Tree Folk Alcra

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

As a second-generation member of the Tree Tribe, Alcra's talents were rather terrifying. His room system was like tentacles that pierced the air. He was able to employ the Origin Power of this dimension to trap Merlin.

With Merlin's abilities, he knew that it would be challenging for him to break Alcra's binding in a short time.

"Fire!"

Merlin waved his hand and the Four-Elemental spell fusion exploded instantly. Raging flames and thunder rippled out in all directions. However, Alcra was different from the previous nine Saplings. The net of roots that Alcra had woven was not completely incinerated by the exploding flames. Instead, it glowed with an emerald light, and held on.

"Spell fusion? You Spell Casters really have some incredible techniques. However, you can't possibly break away from my binding, so die!"

The green glow of the Tree Folk Alcra grew even brighter. One by one, robust roots of immense vigor uncoiled toward Merlin like tentacles.

If Merlin was caught by these roots, he knew he would likely be done for.

"He's on the level of a preeminent Great Wizard! I'm afraid even Darkness Eye would be useless here…"

Merlin's face sank slightly. The power displayed by this Tree Folk was on the level of a preeminent Great Wizard. When push came to shove, Merlin was no match for him.

"Must I use my trump card so soon?'

Merlin furrowed his brows. His trump card was using Titus' help to mobilize the Illusory World of the illusion bead. Even a Great Legend would be caught in the illusion, let alone the Tree Folk before him.

Moreover, if he was not mistaken, the Tree Folk's defense against Hallucinating spells was not that strong, far from Mind Power Masters who had consolidated Mind Hearts.

"That's right, I still have Hallucinating spells!"

Merlin's heart leaped. Besides being a Spell Caster, he was a peculiar, mysterious Mind Power Master. In the beginning stages, a Mind Power Master's greatest asset was their Hallucinating spells.

In addition, Mind Power Masters were rare among Spell Casters. It was a completely new system, one that was born from the Spell Caster system. To foreign tribes, it was something unfamiliar, and they had not even experienced a Hallucinating spell attack.

Thus, Merlin's current abilities of second-stage Hallucinating spells was enough to mystify most Great Wizards. Although the Tree Folk before him now possessed the strength of a preeminent Great Wizard, his defense against Hallucinating spells was not even comparable to an average Great Wizard.

At this point, Merlin's tremendous Mind Power rapidly shrouded the Tree Folk Alcra without making any sound.

"Hmm?"

After all, Alcra was a being on par with a preeminent Great Wizard. Even if he was unable to sense Mind Power, he could still feel that something was odd, and instantly became on his guard.

Nonetheless, Mind Power had no sound nor shape, and could not be defended against. Although Alcra felt a sense of uneasiness, he was powerless, immediately falling into an illusion.

Seeing that the Tree Folk Alcra had lost consciousness, Merlin was gleeful. This meant that his Hallucinating spell was effective.

"Darkness Demon Spirit!"

Merlin instantly unleashed Darkness Eye. A dark veil descended, and the fearsome Darkness Demon Spirit stepped out of the darkness once more. Its hands were like hefty hammers that frantically destroyed the dense root system.

"Bang!"

After it had torn apart the thick roots, the Darkness Demon Spirit crashed its heavy fist into the Tree Folk Alcra. Alcra recovered his senses all at once but that massive blow only caused him to take a few steps back.

"What a frightening illusion. You're actually able to create illusions?"

The Tree Folk Alcra cried out in astonishment.

The Tree Folk seemed to be undamaged after receiving a blow from the Darkness Demon Spirit. Merlin was stunned as well. He had just experienced the Tree Folk's binding methods but did not expect that the scariest thing about the Tree Folk was not his binding methods but his defense!

As a second-generation Tree Folk, Alcra's defensive powers were outrageous!

The Tree Folk Alcra gradually grew somber. Merlin had launched an unpredictable attack earlier, which caused him to fall into an illusion. He did not wish for more mishaps to happen.

Therefore, the verdant glow around Alcra grew in intensity, following which his body seemed to explode.

"Buzz."

A skyscraping tree materialized in mid-air. Its heavy branches and lush leaves, and its terrifying roots especially, numbered more than millions. They snaked through the air extensively, further solidifying the existing cage.

Alcra had revealed his true form. His defense increased many times over. He had strengthened his resolve – he would keep Merlin in this Inceptive Dimension at any cost.

Seeing that Alcra had revealed his true body, Merlin sucked in a deep breath, and did not hold back anymore. His massive Mind Power began to create illusions one after another.

Even though the Tree Folk Alcra was being vigilant by forcefully focusing his willpower in defense, he was still susceptible and sank into another illusion. This was when Merlin wielded Darkness Demon Spirit, and his spell fusion in a frenzied attack.

Based on Merlin's Darkness Eye and his spell fusion, his attack was completely on par with a peak Great Wizard. Even if it could not compare to the power of Alcra that was like a preeminent Great Wizard, it should still injure Alcra somewhat.

However, the truth was, no matter how Merlin attacked, Alcra was practically unharmed. That thick body of his contained incredible defensive powers, and the Darkness Demon Spirit was unable to cause him any fatal injuries.

Merlin could not possibly escape as well because Alcra's roots had formed into an all-pervading net that tightly sealed off the air, leaving behind not a single crack. Merlin could forget about escaping.

Thus, both of them were caught in a deadlock. Merlin attacked incessantly using Hallucinating spells to disturb Alcra so that Alcra could only suffer his attacks passively, but Alcra's terrifying defenses had left Merlin at his wit's end.

One day, two days, three days…

Time flew by one day at a time. In the blink of an eye, both of them were deadlocked for half a month but neither was able to do anything about the other. Merlin had to use elemental crystal stones to replenish his Magic Power a few times.

At first, Alcra thought about draining Merlin's Magic Power, exhausting him to his death. However, when Merlin casually took out a few hundred thousand elemental crystal stones, and even revealed that he had more, Alcra completely gave up on this plan.

Even if Alcra was displeased, he had to admit that the Spell Caster before him had all sorts of weird tricks, and they were equally matched. Both were unable to deal with the other.

Finally, Alcra no longer wished to be locked in a stalemate, and made the decision to tell Merlin, "O powerful Spell Caster, you've overwhelmed me with your powers! Thus, I'll let you go but you must swear on the Ultimate Order to not tell anyone about the situation in this dimension."

"Let me go?"

Strangely enough, Merlin was now smiling coldly. In the beginning, he was indeed planning to leave and look for the Saitu Dimension right away, but having battled against Alcra for so long, he gradually learned that Alcra could do nothing to him. Equipped with his Hallucinating spell and his other techniques, Merlin could sustain this impasse with Alcra for a long time.

Consequently, Merlin would not give up this Inceptive Dimension so easily.

"However, I don't wish to leave. This is an Inceptive Dimension. You can stay here, so I can stay as well. The Origin Power here is very docile, and even I can control it. I'll obtain great benefits from staying here!"

Merlin and Alcra thus continued their deadlock.

After three more days, Alcra could no longer stand the endless impasse because he had wasted too much time over this. He was unable to absorb the Dimension Core, which was doing nothing to further his goal of becoming an upper rank Tree Folk.

At last, the Tree Folk Alcra finally nodded. "Powerful Spell Caster, you've obtained my respect! This dimension is large enough, and its Dimension Core is rich enough. You and I can both control half of the Dimension core but you must make an oath of the Ultimate Order to never dispute with me on this!"

"Each of us gets half?"

After a moment of consideration, Merlin felt that this was not a bad deal. If he could command half of the Elemental Origin, that was enough for him.

"Very well, I make an oath of the Ultimate Order!"

Merlin agreed with Alcra's suggestion. Between Spell Casters, one could sign a contract but some foreign tribes were unable to sign a contract, lacking even Mind Power.

Thus, foreign tribes would typically make an oath of the Ultimate Order between themselves. The natural order was omnipresent, existing even in the vast Void Zone that contained no space nor time. As such, swearing on the Ultimate Order was the safest and most common procedure.

"Rustle."

Alcra retrieved an oath stone and both of them began to swear on the Ultimate Order. Instantly, part of Merlin's Mind Power was forcibly drawn into the oath stone, and a beam of green light from Alcra's body also flew into the oath stone.

When making an oath of the Ultimate Order, the oath stone would absorb the most precious aspect of a foreign tribe, no matter what civilization it was. This was Mind Power for a Spell Caster, whereas the Tree Folks had something else.

Nevertheless, after swearing on the Ultimate Order, no one had to worry about anyone breaking the oath because those who did would suffer punishment from the Ultimate Order. Even the Ultimate Arcane Wizards would pay an unbearable price if they had violated an oath of the Ultimate Order.

Seeing that the oath stone had turned red, it meant that their oath had worked, and they could lay down their arms.

"Hoo…"

A breeze passed by. The thick roots that crowded the sky had already vanished, and even that gigantic tree had transformed back into a green figure.

Merlin withdrew Darkness Eye too, and the enormous Darkness Demon Spirit quickly dissipated in the air.

The Tree Folk Alcra flew toward Merlin, fixing his gaze on Merlin before finally forcing a smile. "Powerful Wizard, what do I call you?"

"Merlin!"

Both of them had been deadlocked for so long, and Merlin knew that the Tree Folk was named Alcra but Alcra did not know Merlin's name.

"So, it's Wizard Merlin. On this note, I've crossed path with Spell Casters in the open territory quite frequently. Your Spell Caster civilization is impressive indeed. I've heard that you've only entered the Void Zone for a mere three thousand years or so, and developed into such a formidable civilization today. Tsk tsk, having met Wizard Merlin, I finally know the impressive abilities of the Spell Caster civilization!"

A smile tugged at the corner of Merlin's mouth. Compared to other foreign civilizations, the Spell Caster civilization was far too young. The Tree Folk civilization, for instance, had been in the Void Zone for more than a hundred thousand years whereas the Giant civilization was even older, having been here for over a million years…

Faced with so many ancient civilizations, the Spell Caster civilization arrived later but had overtaken them. After stepping into the Void Zone for merely three thousand years, they already had three Ultimate Arcane Wizards. Although they could not be considered a preeminent civilization, they were one of the stronger ones. This was inconceivable to other civilizations.

"You're not too bad yourself. The defenses of the Tree Folk Tribe are powerful indeed. My strength is already that of a peak Great Wizard but I could do nothing against you. If it weren't for your weakness against Hallucinating spells, I wouldn't have been a match for you no matter what."

Merlin expressed his sincere admiration too. Each civilization or tribe had its own aptitudes and specialties. The Tree Tribe excelled in their defense. One could attack them as one liked but they would not be harmed.

As for the Giant Tribe, they had boundless strength. Among the same level, when push came to shove, the Giant Tribe would be at an advantage. On the other hand, the Spell Caster civilization was known for their variety of strange tricks.

In short, every powerful civilization had its own greatest advantage!

Merlin and Alcra could set aside their vigilance after swearing upon the Ultimate Order. Conversely, they became more agreeable as they conversed, and spoke for a few days in a row.

"Haha, Wizard Merlin, if we go on like this, we'll be wasting the natural blessings of this environment. According to the oath, we'll each control half of the Dimension Core. Before this, I've been controlling all of it. I'll hand over half of it now!"

The Tree Folk Alcra then began to relinquish control of half of the Dimension Core, and Merlin could immediately sense the fluctuations of the Elemental Origin.

Merlin drew in a deep breath, and tried commanding the Elemental Origin. This was his first time! Even when he was in the Mogan Dimension, he had not touched the Elemental Origin. After all, this was the root of a dimension. Other than the dimension's master, no one would touch the dimension's Origin.

Merlin promptly mobilized his Mind Power. After sensing the fluctuations of the Elemental Origin, his invisible Mind Power stretched toward the Origin like a giant hand.

This was the most direct way for a Spell Caster to control the Elemental Origin!

Chapter 589: The Dimension's Memory

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

"Elemental Origin!"

Merlin silently shut his eyes. The Elemental Origin of the Inceptive Dimension was still very pure, and thus easily controlled. When Merlin's Mind Power had taken full command of the Elemental Origin, Merlin could even see the Essence of Elements directly.

The Elemental Origin contained the Essence of Elements. Otherwise, there would not be so many Great Wizards searching for dimensions in order to obtain the Elemental Origin. This was because when one could observe the Essence of Elements within the Elemental Origin, one's chances of creating a Maxim were increased.

"Alright, Wizard Merlin had gained control of half of the Dimension Core. Let's not disturb each other, and use the time well to boost our own abilities."

The Tree Folk Alcra was rather impatient. He had already wasted plenty of time because of Merlin.

Merlin nodded in assent, following which Alcra immediately transformed into a skyscraping giant tree that extended through the air, starting to absorb the Elemental Origin bit by bit.

"Phew…"

Merlin exhaled in admiration. Compared to Alcra, Merlin could only "spy" on the Essence of Elements silently in his attempt to understand the marvels of the Elemental Origin. He could not directly swallow the Elemental Origin like Alcra.

Of course, there were great advantages to swallowing. For instance, as plunderers immediately plundered the Elemental Origin, their pace of consolidating a Maxim was evidently much faster than those Spell Casters who had signed the Legends' Accord.

However, only a Great Legend could plunder in that manner. Those below the level of Legend were incapable of doing so. Alcra could directly absorb the Elemental Origin because he was a second-generation Tree Folk, and possessed inconceivable natural abilities.

Merlin seized this time to use this extremely rare opportunity, understanding the Elemental Origin with all his might.

First of all was the Flame Origin. Among all of Merlin's spells, he had the deepest understanding of Darkness-type and Fire-type spells. If he were to form a Maxim and become a Legend in the future, he would first consolidate Darkness Element or Fire Element.

Merlin fused his consciousness into the Flame Origin and perceived the mysteries of fire from the perspective of a wisp of flame. Of course, with Merlin's present condition, he was still a long way from creating a Maxim. All he was doing now was laying a solid foundation for when he would make a Maxim in the future.

After merging his consciousness into the Flame Origin, Merlin noticed the fluid nature of flames.

In general, flames were ferocious, but in truth, they were not just that but could also be calm. Flames brought with them not only destruction but also life. Many civilizations had developed from a single spark, and this spark was known as the spark of civilization!

Even the Spell Caster civilization was no exception. From primitive times to when they first used fire, this was a huge step for civilization. It was the spark of civilization, signifying the vital force of life!

Merlin could even sense all the flames in this entire dimension through the Flame Origin.

The fire had begun when the thunder came from the sky to the ground, inciting the incinerating flames. Therefore, fire and thunder were always closely linked and they were inseparable.

From its birth to its descent, Merlin was completely immersed in the Flame Origin. He hungrily absorbed the secrets of fire or its Essence!

Not even Merlin had noticed that his Mind Power had started to grow little by little, for it did so in an unnoticeable manner.

Having fused his consciousness completely into the Elemental Origin, Merlin had experienced terrifying catastrophes one after another. This was everything the Element had gone through in its long history. Everything was recorded in the Elemental Origin. Merlin had essentially transformed into the various Elements, living through a succession of lengthy and mystical adventures.

The thunder blustered in the sky, and metamorphosed into massive bolts of thunder, causing the entire dimension to shudder.

The stubborn ice stopped an entire river in its tracks. The frost stretched as far as the eye could see, and became a frozen spectacle that lasted a thousand years, ten thousand years.

The earth itself trembled violently and split the original, singular continent into multiple fragments.

The wind wailed and whistled, enclosing the entire dimension in the havoc of the tempestuous storm.

There was also the descent of darkness as a myriad of creatures fell silent. This was when the dimension was at its most quiet…

Flames, thunder, earth, wind, ice, and darkness!

Merlin fused his consciousness into all types of the Elemental Origin. Even if he had not constructed the other Elements like Water and Light, he stretched his consciousness into them as well, carefully perceiving everything.

Time unfurled lazily, and it was only after three years that Merlin stirred awake.

"Phew…"

Merlin was finally awake. He glanced at the azure sky. At this point, he felt like everything was from a different lifetime. By tracing the memory of the Elemental Origin, Merlin had basically accompanied this dimension through its tens of thousands of years.

"Perhaps only I would be so 'stupid'. After controlling the Elemental Origin, I didn't carefully investigate the Essence of Elements, and instead spend so much time looking through the dimension's memory left behind in the Elemental Origin…"

Merlin chuckled bitterly. He glanced at the Tree Folk Alcra who was not far away. The skyscraping tree that Alcra had turned into was now abundant in foliage, and his force had gotten stronger.

There were also the nine Saplings that Alcra had produced. When these Saplings had grown to a certain level, he could merge with them and finally become an upper rank Tree Folk, equivalent to a Great Wizard.

With his fearsome talents, once Alcra became an upper rank Tree Folk, he would possess the strength to contend against a Tree King or in other words, against a Great Legend!

This was rather terrifying. Ninth-level Spell Casters who could fight Great Wizards were common but it was rare for a Great Wizard to be a match for a Great Legend. Merlin had been in Arcane City for so long but had not heard of anyone who could contend against a Great Legend while they were a Great Wizard.

Once someone like this appeared, they would be the foremost genius in the entire civilization. Their potential would be limitless. If Merlin could achieve this in the future, the three Great Arcane Wizards would surely take note. This was far more astounding than the Legend Zado's consolidation of five Maxims.

Between Legends and those below Legends, it was like a step in evolution. There was an insurmountable gulf between them. According to common reasoning, no matter what, those below Legends would have no way of comparing to a Great Legend simply by relying upon their own strength.

However, in the millions of dimensions, there were even lifeforms who went against the natural order, so why not someone who had a Legend's strength despite being below that level? It was just that this was too rare. The Tree Folk Alcra, according to Merlin's estimation, was likely to be one such powerful being.

Nonetheless, because the Tree Folk Alcra's power was too great, it was very challenging for him to merge with the nine Saplings in order to become an upper rank Tree Folk, comparable to a formidable Tree King. Even with the support of the Dimension Core of this Inceptive Dimension, the chances of success were rather low.

Still, in these three years, Alcra's abilities had been gradually fortified. He could absorb the Dimension Core whereas Merlin had not only neglected to research the Elemental Origin, he was also distracted by the memory of the Elemental Origin. He had traced this memory and squandered away three years.

From one perspective, the Elemental Origin represented a dimension's will. In other words, it was a dimension's memory. When one had mastered the Elemental Origin, one would control the dimension, replacing the dimension's will with one's own.

Countless Spell Casters who were mostly Great Wizards or Great Legends would prepare to create their first Maxim to become a Legend or to create their second Maxim.

Almost no one would waste their time in going through the memory of the Elemental Origin. They would try to substitute the Elemental Origin's will as soon as possible and start on consolidating their own Maxim.

However, Merlin was different. He was not a Great Legend and not even a Great Wizard. He did not even fulfill the most basic requirements for creating a Maxim. As a result, he was involuntarily mesmerized by the Elemental Origin's memory and spent three years wandering in that tremendous memory.

"I've achieved nothing in three years. Looks like it's time to get down to it!"

Merlin chortled humorlessly. He must not fall behind Alcra too much.

However, when he began to mobilize his Mind Power, his face was instantly caught in blank shock.

Chapter 590: The Rock Tribe Intrudes

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

"The peak of the Eighth-level!"

Merlin sensed that the Mind Heart was bursting abundantly, and he felt incredulous. He remembered clearly that when he came to the Inceptive Dimension, his Mind Power was merely at the Eighth-level, and only at the beginning stage.

From the Eighth-level to the peak of the Eighth-level, it would take a few dozen years if he followed the usual method of cultivation. At Merlin's level, potions, meditation techniques, and so on, were of no use to him.

He could only rely upon understanding to expand his Mind Power but how could it possibly be that simple? This relied upon chance, just like how Great Wizards needed to depend on chance to consolidate their Maxim.

On one level, the depth of understanding required for a Mind Power Master to boost their Mind Power was no easier to achieve than consolidating a Maxim.

Merlin had only fused his consciousness into the Elemental Origin, which meant that he had experienced the memory of the dimension. This turned out to help his Mind Power grow at such an incredible pace.

"What a good thing to come out of misfortune! I thought I'd wasted so much time, and the disparity between Alcra and me had grown bigger. Unexpectedly, my Mind Power had advanced to the peak of the Eighth-level. With such a strong Mind Heart, my Mind Power is sufficient to construct all of the Eighth-level spells!"

After Merlin's Mind Heart had grown more powerful, the amount of Mind Power Merlin possessed had increased too. Initially, one's Mind Power would need to be higher than the spells by a level to construct every spell. Nevertheless, Merlin only had to reach the peak of the Eighth-level now to be assured of constructing all Eighth-level spells, becoming an Eighth-level Wizard.

It was just that he could construct spells at any time but expanding his Mind Power was immensely difficult. Moreover, there was now a desire burning in Merlin's heart, which was to upgrade his Mind Power to the Ninth-level as soon as he could.

Only when his Mind Power had broken through to the Ninth-level could he mobilize the power of the Illusory World by force, thus advancing his abilities. At that point, he would truly be equipped with the strength to contend against Great Legends.

Although he might not measure up to a true Legend, he would not be completely defenseless when faced with one. At first, Merlin held not much hope regarding increasing his Mind Power rapidly. He knew that for his Mind Power to reach the Ninth-level, it would be very challenging, taking up at least dozens of years before he could even attempt to mobilize the Illusory World.

However, unexpectedly, now he had the chance!

"The memory of a dimension could elevate my Mind Power so significantly. No matter what, I must give it another shot!"

Merlin's heart was now burning with unprecedented fervor. All at once, he was confident of condensing a Ninth-level Mind Heart.

Thus, having only woken up for about half a day, Merlin merged back once more into the Elemental Origin, soaking in that immense and endless dimension memory.In the pitch-black sweep of the Void Zone, five strangers whose bodies were like rocks drifted in the Void Zone. They looked around their surroundings from time to time as if in search of something.

"We've been in this area for nearly half a year, yet we still haven't discovered that fabled Inceptive Dimension. Should we search in another region?"

From one look, anyone could tell that these strangers were the Rock Tribe. The Rock Tribe was easy to recognize. One look at their rock-like skin would indicate their identity.

These five Rock Creatures had powerful forces. Each of them was on par with a peak Great Wizard, and the one in the lead, whose frame was even larger, must surely be a match for a preeminent Great Wizard.

Only such a powerful group could wander around freely, searching in the open territory. With their combined strength, they would be able to at least put up a battle, no matter what they ran into. This was a common strategy Wizards or foreign tribes used when wandering around in the open territory, which was traveling in a group.

Of course, there were those who relied solely upon their own capability when traveling through the open territory. Wizards or foreign tribes like these had the utmost confidence in their abilities. The Tree Folk Alcra was one of them.

"There's only a small part left in this area. We'll take a look. If it's not there, we'll switch to another region to continue our search!"

The Rock Tribe group's leader spoke icily.

In the past few years, a rumor had come out of the open territory. According to this rumor, in one of the regions, there was an Inceptive Dimension. No one knew when this rumor started but news like this would inevitably attract others here. Therefore, many foreign tribes began to focus their efforts on hunting in the open territory.

In particular, the rumor had singled out a general area, so even more foreign tribes had gathered here. This group of the Rock Tribe was no more than one of many teams.

The Rock Tribe was a destructive civilization. Any dimension that they had encountered, regardless of whether it was occupied, would be remolded by them thoroughly. Its Dimension Core would be destroyed, turning into a dimension only suitable for the Rock Tribe.

Thus, the Rock Tribe was an unwelcomed civilization among the many civilizations of the Void Zone. If it were not for the three Rock Ancestors of the Rock Tribe civilization who were comparable to the three Ultimate Arcane Wizards, the Rock Tribe would have been wiped out by some other civilizations long ago.

The Spell Caster civilization, for instance, had a tense relationship with the Rock Tribe. Some predicted that a war between these two civilizations was inevitable.

"This is the last part of this area, so everyone, look carefully!"

The Rock Tribe group's leader was systematic in his execution. This was the first region they were searching in. If they truly did not locate the rumored Inceptive Dimension, they would have to look for it in another area.

The Rock Creatures rapidly split apart, each of them using their own methods to comb through the area.

After a few hours, one of the Rock Creatures with a scarred face suddenly burst out in a gleeful expression, pointing to a direction ahead. "What a massive force. Dimension, it must be a dimension! I think it must be that rumored Inceptive Dimension!"

After his elated shouts, the four other Rock Creatures all flew to him, and the leader growled, "Quick, go and take a look!"

After the five of them had determined the direction and flew forward for a while, they finally came across an enormous dimension that was glowing and sparkling with light, incomparably dazzling.

"It really is a dimension! Haha, we've found it at last, only using more than half a year. That's pretty good luck. However, we have to be careful. If it has been seized by a powerful being, we'll run immediately, as far as we can."

The Rock Tribe group's leader said softly. In the open territory, some of the unknown dimensions were controlled by beings as powerful as Great Legends. Naturally, these Legends would not want anyone to know about them.

Thus, if they had encountered anyone who had learned about their dimension by accident, they would kill them immediately without hesitation. Therefore, if one encountered an unknown dimension in the open territory, one must first discern if it was controlled by a formidable being.

With that, the five Rock Creatures carefully withdrew their forces, and sneakily approached this strange new dimension…Merlin was still lingering in the memory of the dimension. Merlin was practically intoxicated by the tremendous memory, unable to feel the passage of time.

Merlin slowly started from the birth of the dimension all the way throughout its gradual development. The entire transformation of this dimension was "experienced" by Merlin from the beginning to the end.

Just as Merlin was going through the "enormity" of the memory of the dimension, he immediately sensed that strangers had intruded in this dimension since he controlled half of the Elemental Origin.

"Swish."

Merlin's eyes flew open. At the same time, a gigantic human face emerged on the skyscraping tree that was rooted in thin air. With eyes fixed on Merlin, the face said in a low voice, "Wizard Merlin, I believe you've sensed it too. Someone's intruding!"

"That's right, I've felt it! Five in total, four of whom are comparable to peak Great Wizards. As for the last one, he's on par with a preeminent Great Wizard!"

Merlin's voice was calm. As Merlin and Alcra each controlled half of the Elemental Origin, no one would be able to conceal their activity of entering the dimension from them.

"Wizard Merlin, what do you plan to do?"

Alcra questioned softly.

"Plan? In the open territory, there's only one way to deal with strangers who've intruded the dimension!"

Merlin's voice was determined. Alcra's giant face broke out into a smile.

"I'll hold them in place. Wizard Merlin, the rest is up to you!"

Alcra was somewhat glad all of a sudden. Now that he and Merlin had become collaborators, he was under less pressure when facing these five intruders with Merlin's support.

Otherwise, he would find it difficult to slay so many Rock Creatures by himself. If even one of them escaped, the secret of the dimension would be revealed.

"Alright. As long as you can trap them here, I believe we'll find a way to deal with them!"

Merlin and Alcra exchanged a glance. With that, Alcra's real body vanished in thin air. Both of them, utilizing their powers as controllers of the dimension, tore space apart, instantly traveling toward the five Rock Creatures."What a vast dimension!

"There are no forces belonging to powerful beings. However, the Dimension Core is controlled by someone!"

"Haha, no matter who's controlling it, if they're not a great being, what's there to be afraid of with the five of us?"

Once they had entered the dimension, the five Rock Creatures grinned in excitement. Naturally, they could sense that this dimension had no gods. It was an Inceptive Dimension, and one which was the lifelong dream of any creature below the level of a Legend.

"Despicable Rock Tribe who intrude upon other being's dimension without permission. You must pay a heavy price!"

Suddenly, a cold voice boomed in the air. Following that, a giant tree materialized in mid-air with heavy branches and thick foliage, full of endless vitality.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh."

Of course, this massive tree was the Tree Folk Alcra. Faced with five powerful Rock Creatures, he dared not act slowly, and instantly revealed his true form. The thick twisting roots snaked through the air. Millions of roots constantly wove and twined throughout the air like tentacles. In the blink of an eye, a large net of roots was formed, enclosing the five Rock Creatures tightly.

As the roots grew in the air, the Rock Tribe who did not even have the ability to shatter space could only watch helplessly as they were trapped by Alcra.

"Tree Folk?"

Looking at the skyscraping tree in the air, these Rock Creatures did not panic in the slightest, and instead smiled.

"Oh, powerful Tree Folk, you're only the best at binding. We're formidable Rock Creatures. Although our strength can't compare to the Giants, we have just about enough energy to resist you Tree Folk! I'll see how long you can keep us trapped. Kill!"

This was not the first time the Rock Tribe had encountered the Tree Folk. Naturally, they knew about the Tree Folk's strength and weaknesses. Even when faced with one who was comparable to a preeminent Great Wizard, the Rock Tribe was unconcerned.

As soon as the leader gave the command, the Rock Creatures revealed their true, colossal rock form, exploding with incomparable offensive strength. They wildly attacked the web of roots that Alcra had woven.

Chapter 591: Battling the Rock Tribe!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

These Rock Creatures had revealed their true form. Each possessed boundless strength, solid as a rock. They had also manipulated countless rocks to frantically attack Alcra.

In particular, the group's leader was comparable to a preeminent Great Wizard. Even if slightly inferior to Alcra, the disparity was not that great. In addition to the efforts of the other four Rock Creatures, Alcra suddenly felt like he could not hold on.

"Boom boom boom."

Blow after blow, the enormous hands of the Rock Creatures were like massive hammers that swung viciously into Alcra's body. Although his defense was powerful, under such a frantic onslaught, not even Alcra could guarantee victory if this dragged on.

"Wizard Merlin, aren't you going to attack?"

Alcra initially planned to rely on his own strength to trap these Rock Creatures then deal with them one by one. Nonetheless, from the looks of it, by himself, he was no match for these Rock Creatures. He might as well focus his efforts in trapping them, preventing them from fleeing.

"He has a backup?"

Hearing Alcra's yell, the five Rock Creatures felt a jolt of surprise, and immediately became on their guard. All at once, the attacks gradually faltered.

"Alcra, try your best to hold them in. It's not the first time I've crossed path with the Rock Tribe!"

Merlin's figure flashed and appeared beside Alcra. He glared coldly at the five Rock Creatures below, who were all trapped by Alcra, unable to break their way out at all. Merlin had personally experienced how incredible Alcra's binding was. Now, after years of absorbing the Dimension Core, although Alcra was still far from becoming an upper rank Tree Folk, his powers had undergone a significant boost.

Back when Merlin was in the Seely Dimension, and battled with the Rock Creature Gustia, he had been completely suppressed by Gustia. If it were not for the black cat Didimoss, he would have been in trouble.

At that time, Gustia's level was about the same as these Rock Creatures now, belonging to rank similar to a preeminent Great Wizard, second only to a Great Legend. However, things had changed greatly now for Merlin.

"Buzz buzz buzz."

Merlin waved his hand lightly. His soundless and formless Mind Power slowly blanketed the five Rock Creatures, and the Hallucinating spell took effect instantly!

Merlin's Hallucinating spell was enough to enrapture a peak Great Wizard. These Rock Creatures were like the Tree Folk, they did not focus on Mind Power at all. Therefore, Merlin's Hallucinating spell started working soon enough. Other than the leading Rock Creature, the rest were all caught in the illusion, and stopped attacking.

"Spell Caster? D*mn it, and it's a Mind Power Master at that. Wake up quickly!"

That Rock Creature on par with a preeminent Great Wizard seemed to understand Mind Power Masters, being familiar with what was happening. Following that, he gave a mighty roar, and the other four Rock Creatures all recovered their senses, staring alertly at Merlin.

"As expected of someone on the level of a preeminent Great Wizard!"

Merlin grinned, and did not seem to mind. Just like Alcra, this Rock Creature could withstand some illusions. As long as one's abilities had reached a certain stage, there were some universal benefits. As an example, even if Merlin's current Hallucinating spell had reached the third stage, it would still be unable to entrap a Great Legend, even one who had pitiful and weak Mind Power.

That was an essential disparity, a gulf that could not be bridged. No small tricks were able to surmount this chasm!

If Merlin by himself was faced with these five Rock Creatures, he might even be in danger but with the Tree Folk Alcra, when both of them joined forces, they could explode with a strength that peak Great Wizards or preeminent Great Wizards could not compare to.

"Alcra, isolate the strongest Rock Creature. Trap that one in another place!"

Merlin pointed at the mightiest Rock Creature, and growled.

Alcra nodded, and immediately understood Merlin's meaning. Therefore, countless roots quickly separated the strongest Rock Creature and the other four, so that neither side could see the other.

Looking at this, a smirk flitted over Merlin's lips.

"Hallucinate!"

Merlin pointed at the four Rock Creatures. They were only comparable to peak Great Wizards. If they exchanged blows, Merlin might not be able to handle them. However, he was a Mind Power Master, possessing the enigmatic Hallucinating spell which had reached the second stage.

Therefore, dealing with these four Rock Creatures had become much simpler.

After Merlin's Mind Power had shrouded these four Rock Creatures, without the reminder of the most powerful Rock Creature, the four immediately sank into Merlin's Hallucinating spell.

"Darkness Demon Spirit, kill!"

Darkness plunged, and the Darkness Demon Spirit emerged from the darkness. It snarled as it viciously attacked the four Rock Creatures. Although these Rock Creatures had formidable strength, and their defenses were not too shabby, they were not as fearsome as Alcra's defense. Therefore, under a heavy blow from the mighty Darkness Demon Spirit, fine cracks began to grow over the surfaces of their bodies.

A single attack was not enough to destroy the four Rock Creatures, so Merlin continued to direct the Darkness Demon Spirit to wildly attack the four Rock Creatures.

All they could hear now were bursts of a bloodcurdling "bang bang bang" sound.

"Ka-cha."

At last, one of the Rock Creatures could not stand the frantic attacks anymore, and instantly shatter. They had no life force in the first place, being evolved from mystical rocks. Therefore, after a Rock Creature died, it would turn into pieces of broken rock, falling to the ground.

"No! D*mned Tree Folk and wicked Spell Caster, I'll kill you both, kill you all, and avenge them!"

That strongest Rock Creature who was individually sealed off by Alcra seemed to still be connected to these Rock Creatures. Naturally, he immediately could feel that one of them had died. Knowing that things did not look good for his four companions, he involuntarily burst into agonizing cries.

"Boom."

Suddenly, the massive tree body of Alcra's began to shake violently. That airtight net of roots was now blasted by some enormous force, creating a huge hole. Thereafter, the strongest Rock Creature instantly flew out as fast as he could.

"I'll come back, haha, if I can't get this dimension, you can forget about getting it too!"

The Rock Creature's voice reverberated in the empty air.

"Ka-cha."

When Merlin's Darkness Demon Spirit had killed off the last Rock Creature, his face wore a gloomy expression. With one escaped Rock Creature, it was useless no matter how many Rock Creatures he killed.

"Alcra, what happened? How could that Rock Creature escape?"

Merlin furrowed his brows, and looked at the Alcra who had turned into his green-skin self, inquiring in a rather dissatisfied manner.

Alcra sighed and said darkly, "If one was on par with a foremost upper rank Tree Folk, it's equivalent to your preeminent Great Wizard. That Rock Creature had a life-saving item. He must've used the strength of a Great Legend to break through my defenses all of a sudden, and fled. It looks like I'm still a long way from being a Tree King…"

That Rock Creature might possibly have a similar trick like Merlin's Illusory World, so he was able to shatter Alcra's defenses. Merlin knew how powerful Alcra's defenses were.

Nonetheless, now that someone had escaped, this dimension was likely to be exposed, and was no longer safe!

"Wizard Merlin, what do you plan to do?"

Alcra now turned this question to Merlin.

Merlin eyed this Inceptive Dimension. His Mind Power still had not broken through to the Ninth-level. To him, this dimension was of utmost importance. Even staying here for one more day could result in a significant transformation.

"Alcra, are you willing to let go of this dimension?"

Merlin did not reply immediately, and instead asked another question. Both of them exchanged a long and deep look before they broke into smiles.

"Haha, that's right, of course, I'm unwilling to let go of this dimension. According to my estimation, that Rock Creature must hold a grudge now. If he can't find any help, he would surely disseminate the specific coordinates of this dimension, attracting more people here."

In particular, the Rock Creature's parting words were filled with a depthless hatred. In the open territory, forming deep-seated and fatal grudges were common enough.

Merlin nodded too, agreeing with Alcra's reasoning. "Indeed, if that Rock Creature can't find any help and have no hope of getting this dimension at all, he would not let us profit either. After all, we've killed four of his companions. However, even if he spread the news and someone finds this dimension, that would still take some time. If we can spend one more day here, we will. Even if someone finds this, with both of our abilities, we could try defending it. Unless a Great Legend arrives…"

Both of them fell silent. If a Great Legend were to really show up, they would have no way of contending.

After a long moment, Alcra bobbed his head, saying in a low voice, "If a being at the level of a Great Legend interferes, we can only give up!"

Merlin's shining eyes fixed upon Alcra. His friend had an exceptional defense, and must surely have some unknown techniques that even a Legend might not be able to kill him. Thus, Alcra was willing to stay on in this dimension, even at the risk of encountering danger.

Merlin smiled. This dimension was equally important to him. If a Great Legend arrived, he would flee immediately. If his opponent was bent on hunting him down and slaying him, he still had Titus and the Illusory World, a trump card that could facilitate a successful escape.

Both of them had their opinions but neither was willing to give up on this dimension. Therefore, they agreed to stay on in this dimension as long as they could. They would not fear most people, and no matter how strong their opponent was, with their abilities combined, it was a perfect match. Both of their techniques complemented each other, and the power that they had exhibited together came infinitely close to a Great Legend.

Other than a Great Legend, they feared no one else!

With that, Alcra started to wildly absorb the Dimension Core once more. As long as he constantly did so and increased the strength of the nine Saplings, he would boost his power continuously.

If the nine Saplings merged into one and he became an upper rank Tree Folk, Alcra was very likely to become a true freak who could transcend his level to challenge a Great Legend. Tempted by this prospect, it was natural that Alcra would not let go of this dimension so easily.

Merlin glanced at Alcra who was madly advancing his own abilities, staking everything in this endeavor. Why should Merlin not do the same?

"I hope that before a foreign tribe finds this dimension, I can condense a Ninth-level Mind Heart!"

Merlin thought to himself silently. With a Ninth-level Mind Heart, he could just about mobilize the Illusory World. At that point, he would still be unable to defeat a Great Legend but at least he could put up a fight!

With that, both of them harbored their own ambitions, and thought about nothing else. They were set on staying in this Inceptive Dimension, relying on the Elemental Origin to expand their strength.

Chapter 592: A Tense Atmosphere

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

In the vast unending Void Zone, there was an influx of those who entered the open territory. Most of them were groups including the Rock Tribe, the Giant Tribe, the Spell Caster civilization, the Feather Tribe, and so on.

These foreign tribes were all comparable to Great Wizards. At first, it was difficult to find them in the open territory but now it was easy to encounter foreign tribes who were heading in the same direction.

However, these foreign tribes merely kept up their guard when bumping into each other, and did not rush into conflict. In unison, they flew toward a specific direction in the open territory.

Many Wizards and foreign tribes, upon seeing this situation, knew that something big must have happened in the open territory!

"Did you guys hear? The Rock Tribe had spread a message that within the open territory, there's an Inceptive Dimension. It's only occupied by a Tree Folk and a Spell Caster."

"That's right. See how so many experts of the foreign tribes are heading toward that direction. It's because that message from the Rock Tribe is too authentic, even providing the specific dimension coordinates. It's not surprising to see that many foreign tribes are tempted."

"It's just a shame that although we wish to join, with so many foreign tribes going in, our abilities are lowly in comparison. Going in would be a suicide mission!"

The periphery of the open territory was still a relatively safe zone. All sort of foreign tribes entered the open territory one after another. It was because of a message spread by a Rock Creature about an Inceptive Dimension. There were even exact coordinates, which was enough to stir up a craze among any group.

Nonetheless, between the large groups and teams, there was occasionally a member of a foreign tribe who entered the region alone. These solitary members, once they appear, roused great vigilance in the other groups.

This was because those who could enter the open territory alone must be very fearsome, second only to a Great Legend. There were even some who had notorious reputations, having made an infamous name for themselves in the open territory.

"Boom."

From a distance came gallops of a mighty Giant. This Giant was naked, saved for a leather skirt, and he exuded a terrifying force.

Moreover, his height had exceeded nine hundred and eighty meters at least!

This Giant had made his way here without stopping, crashing through everything. He gave no regard as to whether there were foreign tribes before him and pressed on directly. However, after seeing this Giant's appearance, none of the teams dared to pick a fight with him. When they had spotted him from a distance, they dodged him immediately.

"Nestia, to think that he's made a move. Nine hundred and eighty meters, that's already infinitely close to a Giant King, almost reaching the limit of the Giant Tribe's upper rank Giants!'

Nestia had wandered in the open territory for many years. Once, he had wiped out a group of eighteen who were on par with peak Great Wizards all by himself. Among those, there were even three beings who were comparable to preeminent Great Wizards, all of whom were slain.

Moreover, to be accurate, Nestia was nine hundred and eighty-six meters tall, close to nine hundred and ninety. If he became a Giant King, he would surely be a freakish and terrifying Giant King.

Therefore, once Nestia appeared, countless teams of foreign tribes would immediately give way, not daring to clash with him.

"Haha, Nestia, you're far too slow. In terms of speed, you're one step behind me!"

Suddenly, a Roc of golden feathers came from behind. This Roc strangely had a human face but his body was one of a gigantic bird's. From wing to wing, he measured dozens of meters.

Of course, compared to the Giant Nestia, this Roc appeared rather tiny.

This Roc gently flapped his wings. It was strange for the Void Zone did not even have time or space, not even air currents but when this Roc flapped his wings, he quickly turned into a golden beam which easily overtook the Giant Nestia.

When Nestia saw the golden Roc, he gave a furious snarl. "Bordeaux, you'd better not let me catch you or I'll rip you apart!"

However, the golden Roc Bordeaux paid no mind to the Giant Nestia's threat, and instead burst out laughing. His speed increased even more as he sped ahead in a straight line.

Bordeaux was a powerful member of the Feather Tribe, specializing in speed. Among the foreign tribes of the same level, he was the fastest. Even Spell Casters who hadd used casting tools were not as fast as Bordeaux.

Bordeaux was likewise a creature that was on par with a preeminent Great Wizard. With his speed, it was best not to provoke him out of all the foreign tribes, even compared to Nestia.

If one had offended Nestia, one could run away. If one could not win the fight, one could still hide. However, if one had provoked Bordeaux, then even escape would be difficult for his speed would be the despair to anyone who tried to escape.

Following behind the Giant Nestia and Bordeaux of the Feather Tribe was a double-decker ship. On the ship stood a Spell Caster with handsome features, dressed in a spotless long white Wizard robe.

This double-decker ship was surrounded by dense rows of floating runes, and was even flickering with thunder. It contained vast power, and if one got too close, one would be struck by the ship's thunder.

However, even with such a brazen attitude, no one dared to stop the ship because it was someone ruthless – a Six-Elemental Great Wizard named Kubale of the Spell Caster civilization.

Kubale was very fearsome. He was certainly a genius among geniuses, being a Six-Elemental Spell Caster, which was rare even in Arcane City. In the case of most Five-Elemental Spell Casters, if their Pandora Demon Abilities were not too inferior, and they had Excellent-grade spells, once they fused their Spell Models and became a Great Wizard, they would immediately become a preeminent one.

Just like Wizard Midnight, a Five-Elemental Spell Caster whom Merlin had met in the Bloodshed Universe. In the end, he had successfully fused his Spell Models and became a preeminent Great Wizard instantly.

Kubale was an even more powerful Six-Elemental Spell Caster, and was naturally one of the foremost Great Wizards. However, Kubale did not have the warm disposition so common to Spell Casters. He was cold by nature, often capturing foreign tribes for experiments. His methods were bloody and cruel, and he would achieve his goal at all cost.

Therefore, in the open territory, Kubale's name was synonymous to bloodshed and slaughter. No one was willing to go near him, so when the teams of foreign tribes spotted his ship, they evaded him and dared not go near.

Seeing that the preeminent beings of the Spell Casters, the Giant Tribe, and the Feather Tribe had all shown up to go into the open territory, some of the groups of foreign tribes were hesitant and even turned around, giving up on entering the open territory.

"My goodness, all three of them, Nestia, Bordeaux, and Kubale have gone in. However, how come there are no contenders from the Rock Tribe? I recall that this news was spread from the Rock Tribe."

"The Rock Tribe? Heh heh, I've heard that Luca of the Rock Tribe had entered the open territory long ago. He would be the first one to locate the mysterious Inceptive Dimension."

"These preeminent beings are second only to Great Legends. Hehe, if a Great Legend appears, they would be nothing."

At the mention of Great Legends, no one said anything else. Beings such as Great Legends existed in the open territory but they were rather rare, and most of them preferred dimensions that were unknown to anyone.

Now that such a great fuss had been made, this dimension was known to everyone. There were a few Great Legends who would fight over it. After all, there was more than one Great Legend in the open territory. These Great Legends had the chance to go to other places and look for dimensions which were less dangerous. Why would they vie for a dimension in the open territory that was known to everyone?

Therefore, this news had attracted so many contenders from foreign tribes but none of them were Legends. Perhaps a Great Legend might appear but chances were low. After all, even if a Great Legend had occupied the dimension, its coordinates had been exposed. Who could say if this would rouse the desire of plunderers? There would be great danger then.

This meant that only those who had not become Legends would take the risk to compete and fight, hoping to use this Inceptive Dimension to get one step closer to becoming a Great Legend!

An opportunity like this held a fatal appeal to those foreign tribes who had not become Legends. Therefore, despite the risks, they would head into the open territory to fight for it.

All at once, there were undercurrents of movement caused by countless foreign tribes in the open territory. Danger lurked in every corner, and the place was gripped by a tense atmosphere!

Chapter 593: Fighting for the Dimension I

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Two months later, Alcra and Merlin both had stopped meditating. They turned their gazes to look at the tightly-packed, at least ten odd foreign tribes outside the dimension.

"I didn't expect them to arrive so quickly…"

Alcra's expression was calm but there was an occasional flash of frustration in his eyes. In the past two months, he did not manage to achieve a miracle. He was unable to combine the nine Tree Saplings into one, thus he could not become an upper rank Tree Folk.

Merlin, on the other hand, also failed to break through to the Ninth-level Mind Heart!

This two-month period was truly too short. Both Merlin and Alcra did not manage to achieve any substantial improvement.

"Such a big battle force. I haven't seen one for a very long time… Wizard Merlin, you must've arrived in the open territory not too long ago, right?"

Faced with such grim odds, Alcra still appeared to be calm and composed.

Merlin nodded. "I just came to the open territory not too long ago. It's also my first time seeing such a big battle force!"

Outside the dimension was almost jam-packed with foreign tribes, and each of them was exuding powerful auras that were comparable to a Great Wizard. Thus, it had a tense and dangerous atmosphere.

Alcra squinted his eyes and continued. "I've been here since a long time ago. This place is a mixture of risks and opportunities. When I first got here, I was only a lower rank Tree Folk. Even though I'm a second-generation Tree Folk with brimming talents, at that time, I was only comparable to a Ninth-level Spell Caster!

"Thereafter, I undertook a voyage into the open territory and my abilities began to improve. After more than three hundred years, I'm now a middle rank Tree Folk, and my abilities are equivalent to a preeminent Great Wizard!"

Merlin's heart was startled. This Alcra was the most freakish and talented foreign tribe he had ever encountered. A middle rank Tree Folk was only supposed to be comparable to a Ninth-level Spell Caster.

However, this Tree Folk had the ability of a preeminent Great Wizard. Like Merlin, he was extremely freakish!

"Wizard Merlin, I've always been very low-key. Only a small handful of people know that I'm a middle rank Tree Folk with the abilities of a preeminent Great Wizard! Nevertheless, after this great battle, I'm afraid that our reputation will become widespread in the open territory."

Having said that, a frightening glint appeared in Alcra's eyes.

"Yes, we'll not surrender! Today, both our names will become a nightmare to many foreign tribes. Haha!"

Merlin cackled into the sky. Relying on the Elemental Origin, both of them lightly tore space apart and entered a spatial passage.Outside the dimension, the ten odd foreign tribes were keenly eyeing the dazzling dimension in a distance, their eyes revealing their excitement and greed.

"This is the coordinates' position. I can't believe there really is a dimension!"

"It seems like the rumor was true. Since we found this dimension based on the coordinates, then according to the rumor, this is an Inception Dimension. As long as we kill the Tree Folk and the Spell Caster who control this dimension, we can gain control of the Dimension Core!"

"Rumor says that the Tree Folk here is Alcra and an unknown Spell Caster. The unknown Spell Caster isn't remarkable, only considered a peak Great Wizard. Alcra, on the other hand, is quite troublesome. I heard that he's comparable to a preeminent Great Wizard. Nevertheless, the Tree Folk is only able to bind. With so many of us here, especially the strong challengers, why should we fear Alcra's binding powers?

These foreign tribes exchanged looks with one another. Their concern was not Alcra and Merlin but instead the other foreign tribes. Everyone was thinking the same thing. Once Alcra and Merlin were killed, these foreign tribes would most probably kill each other to vie for the controlling rights of the Dimension Core. This was the real reason why none of the foreign tribes wanted to advance first.

"Screw it. Kill that Spell Caster first. His ability is the weakest but he holds half of the dimension's controlling rights. Once we kill him, we can get half of the dimension's controlling rights!"

One of the foreign tribes gnashed their teeth and took the lead. Their target was set on Merlin.

"If a mere peak Great Wizard can control the dimension together with Alcra, then Alcra mustn't be that powerful. So, we should be able to break through his binding powers. Let's look for Alcra. Perhaps it's not as dangerous as it seems!"

These foreign tribes had almost no knowledge of Alcra and Merlin. Their knowledge of Alcra remained stagnant since many years ago. Back then, Alcra was already a powerful Tree Folk but considered negligible compared to so many tribes.

Seeing a few foreign tribes rushing toward the dimension, the remaining tribes were also unwilling to reveal any weaknesses, so they all flew hastily toward the dimension.

"Hoo…"

When they had entered the dimension, their hearts were once again astounded. Once again, the rumor was proven to be true. There was no trace of any gods. It was indeed an Inceptive Dimension.

Thinking of the various benefits offered by an Inceptive Dimension, these foreign tribes appeared to be more determined, and began to search frantically throughout the dimension.

"I've found him, the mysterious Spell Caster!"

Haha, the aura on this Spell Caster is so weak. How did he obtain the controlling rights of the dimension?"

"Quickly, kill this weakly Spell Caster so that we can control half of the dimension."

These foreign tribes could feel the weak aura emitted from Merlin's body. All of them were surprised but pleased. The weaker Merlin was, the higher their chances of obtaining the dimension's controlling rights.

Far away, Merlin and Alcra had chosen an open space, and were waiting quietly. Naturally, by controlling the Elemental Origin, they could see the foreign tribes entering the dimension.

Alcra pulled a funny face and laughed. "Wizard Merlin, looks like they've all pinpointed you as a weakling, haha!"

Merlin's expression was very calm. Indeed, the aura on his body was not powerful. At most, Merlin was only a Seventh-level Spell Caster.

"Soon, they'll find out what a wrong choice that is!"

The corners of Merlin's lips curled into a sneer.

"Haha, Wizard Merlin, then teach them a lesson. This should be the first wave, and there'll be more to follow. Let's attack together, and don't waste too much time!"

After a rumbling laugh, Alcra fiercely revealed his true form and transformed into a humongous tree.

"Swish swish swish."

Scores of foreign tribes flew to a place not too far from them, staring at Merlin and Alcra with challenging gazes.

"Alcra, you're a second-generation Tree Folk among the Tree Tribe. Your potential is huge but unfortunately, your greed has undone you. Today, you're destined to die here…"

Some of the foreign tribes who had past conflicts with the Tree Tribe jeered as they looked at the humongous tree in the air.

Those who had the guts to seize this dimension were all extraordinary beings, and at least comparable to a peak Great. Wizard. In other words, this was a congregation of numerous elites from various civilizations.

Existences the level of a Great Wizard, regardless of whichever civilization, unequivocally constituted the central force of their respective civilizations. Hence, they were very important. It was rare, even in the open territory, to see so many Great Wizards gathered together.

"Is that so? Since you're all here, why don't you stay forever? Hahahaha…"

On Alcra's true form, a large face appeared. It was laughing with a lighthearted expression.

This caused the foreign tribes to be enraged. In this situation, Merlin and Alcra were facing certain death but still displayed such audacity.

"Bind!"

Alcra suddenly stopped laughing and roared. In an instant, from his humongous true form, tendrils of thick root system flew out viciously. Even his leaves and branches began to grow bigger, absorbing the power of the dimension.

Since Alcra controlled half of the dimension's power, by utilizing the distinctive trait of the Tree Folk, Alcra could take root in the dimension, and draw power from the Elemental Origin. Thus, he could mobilize infinite power.

This was equivalent to using the power of the entire dimension to bind these ten odd foreign tribes.

"Swish swish swish."

Thick large roots swiftly weaved into a giant net, covering almost half the sky above their heads.

The strongest abilities of the Tree Tribe were binding and defense. These foreign tribes also knew as much, so they were not worried despite seeing Alcra binding all of them.

"Haha, Alcra, do you think you're the Tree King? Are you able to bind so many of us?"

These foreign tribes each mounted powerful attacks, madly attacking Alcra. However, Alcra remained as unmoved as a mountain, as though there was no feeling.

Only Merlin knew that Alcra had improved. Although Alcra was still far from leveling up into an upper rank Tree Folk, his abilities had improved compared to two months ago.

As long as the power of the attacks did not exceed his critical point, any amount of attacks was inconsequential.

"What's happening? Why is Alcra so strong?"

"It's unbreakable. Alcra's binding is fearsome, we're actually trapped!"

"Is it because Alcra had controlled this dimension for so many years that his abilities had improved so drastically?"

The initial contempt and callousness evolved into a panic now. For the first time, these foreign tribes had a bad feeling. Once they were trapped by a Tree Folk and could not break through, they could be trapped forever. After all, everyone knew how fearsome the binding powers of the Tree Folk were. They were only relying on the large number of beings to break through Alcra's binding.

"Everyone, don't be afraid. There are so many of us, including existences comparable to a peak Great Wizard in our midst. It's impossible that we can't break through Alcra's binding. Let's mobilize our strongest power together."

Although these foreign tribes had their own selfish agendas, they managed to cooperate with one another in the face of a common threat. In an instant, the violent siege erupted again.

"Merlin, why are you still standing there? I'm relying on the powers of the Dimension Core to barely withstand it. This is an army of more than a hundred peak Great Wizard equivalents!"

Just as Merlin was feeling amazed by the improvement in Alcra's abilities, he heard Alcra's hastening voice, and found himself caught by surprise.

"I actually thought that your abilities had improved massively and can handle those foreign tribes alone. Turns out…"

Merlin shook his head gently. Regardless of how strong Alcra was, he was fighting against more than a hundred peak Great Wizard equivalents. A force like this would be avoided at all cost even by the most preeminent Great Wizard.

Perhaps, other than a Great Legend, no one would be capable of withstanding such a powerful force. If it were Merlin or Alcra alone, neither of them would be able to withstand it. This time, however, Merlin and Alcra had joined forces.

Merlin knew that Alcra might not be able to hold on much longer. Keeping so many foreign tribes bounded was at his limit. Therefore, Merlin gently shut his eyes, and a huge Mind Power surged out like a flood, blanketing all the foreign tribes bounded by Alcra…

Chapter 594: Fighting for the Dimension II

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

"Illusion!"

Inside the space that was bound by Alcra, there was a tense atmosphere. Everyone was attacking Alcra wildly, so almost no one had noticed this soft voice.

"Hoo…"

Suddenly, the initially violent space quietened. A large portion of the foreign tribes was distracted and stopped attacking.

Only a small fraction quickly regained consciousness. Their faces paled but before they could issue a warning, the sky turned black and darkness descended.

"Boom."

An incomparably huge Darkness Demon Spirit stepped out of the darkness, its hands emitting endless darkness aura. With an enraged howl, it attacked the ensnared foreign tribes. In the blink of an eye, several foreign tribe members had been crushed dead by the Darkness Demon Spirit.

In addition to its immense powers, the Darkness Demon Spirit could also wield some hallucinating powers of the Darkness-type spells. Most importantly, it could be incarnated into darkness itself, making it impossible to guard against. Especially those foreign tribes who were trapped in the Mind Power illusion were completely unable to resist it.

"Fire!"

However, the fight was far from over. Following the descent of darkness, balls of flames began to spread in the empty space. After the flames appeared, they exploded in an instant.

Anyone who was being swept by this explosive wave could immediately sense that in the flames, there were thunder, gales, and ice crystals. All the various elements had been fused together. This was a terrifying spell fusion!

"D*mn, it's the Spell Caster, the Spell Caster that we ignored!"

A few foreign tribes which had luckily escaped the Darkness Demon Spirit and the spell fusion could not help but screech. They looked around but could not see the Spell Caster's silhouette.

Merlin was, of course, standing outside the vicinity of the imprisoned space. He and Alcra complemented each other's strengths and weaknesses, so their combined powers were infinitely close to a Great Legend. In fact, to some extent, they were not inferior to a Great Legend.

With so many foreign tribes, neither Merlin nor Alcra could have faced them alone. However, with their powers combined, they were able to breeze through without any resistance.

Merlin's first attack had killed more than thirty odd foreign tribe members. Over time, more of these foreign tribes would be injured and killed, so this was no longer a battle but a massacre.

Merlin was hiding under Alcra's protection. With Alcra's binding powers, these foreign tribes could not escape. Anyone who could not resist Merlin's Hallucinating spells was awaiting death without respite. Even those who were fortunate enough to resist Merlin's Hallucinating Spells had to continue to face attacks from the Darkness Demon Spirit and the spell fusion. With the help of Alcra's binding powers, they faced certain death.

Therefore, once Merlin started attacking, he and Alcra were undefeatable!

"Alcra, how are you doing?"

Merlin smiled at Alcra. Since he was wielding the Hallucinating spells and other spells on the outside, it was quite relaxing. Thanks to Alcra keeping the foreign tribes restrained, Merlin did not face any retaliation.

"Phew…"

Alcra heaved a long breath and said, "Not too bad, I think we managed to hold on. The remaining foreign tribes don't really pose much of a threat anymore. We've withstood this first wave of attack."

"First wave of attack? Alcra, you mean that this is just the beginning and not the end?"

Merlin asked with a slight frown.

"End? Wizard Merlin, none of these foreign tribes consist of the mightiest existences of the open territory. Just wait and see, they'll turn up…"

Alcra gazed outside the dimension. He was ready. In order to occupy this dimension, there would be a certain price to pay!In the icy cold Void Zone, a burly, glowing foreign tribe member was quietly observing the dimension not too far ahead.

"It should be almost time. They've been inside for such a long time. No matter what techniques the mysterious Spell Caster and Alcra could wield, there's no way they would be able to withstand hundreds of foreign tribes. Now is the best opportunity to seize the dimension!"

This mysterious foreign tribe member was glowing dimly, and upon closer inspection, appeared to be composed of hard rocks. This was a Rock Creature.

"Whiz."

Just as this mysterious Rock Creature was about to enter the dimension, a golden ray flashed across the pitch-black Void Zone.

The golden ray flew directly toward the mysterious Rock Tribe member, and exploded into a golden burst of light. The next instant, a huge Roc with golden feathers appeared.

"Hehe, Luca, true enough, you're the earliest to arrive. Why haven't you gone inside?"

The golden Roc seemed to know this Rock Tribe member, and asked him mockingly.

The Rock Tribe's Luca frowned and said slowly, "Bordeaux, the Feather Tribe is truly fast, I didn't expect you to catch up so quickly!"

Luca heightened his vigilance. Although he knew that Bordeaux's abilities were not the most powerful among the Feather Tribe, his speed was unequivocally the fastest of all. So, he was still a very tricky foreign tribe member.

Obviously, Bordeaux was also looking for a dimension. Luca began to regret playing too safe, and did not enter the dimension earlier to control it. In the end, it made him passive.

Right now, if he were to enter the dimension, most probably, Bordeaux would be the first one to block him.

The Feather Tribe's Bordeaux raised his head and replied coldly, "This news was spread by the Rock Tribe, hehe, so I knew that you would arrive first. However, it looks like you've let the idiotic buffoons go ahead first to exhaust Alcra's strength. Luca, your insidiousness had not changed at all. Even after so many years, you're still the same."

"Bordeaux, I'm not going to continue listening to your nonsense!"

Luca was somewhat angry. Bordeaux was not worth his time. With his unbeatable speed, Bordeaux had always been the trickiest and most infuriating one among the numerous preeminent Great Wizard-level foreign tribes.

Therefore, Luca did not want to waste time entangling himself with Bordeaux. He turned around, and flew toward the dimension.

"Swish."

Bordeaux' speed was extremely fast. He appeared once again, and blocked the Rock Tribe's Luca's way.

"Bordeaux, what do you want?"

Luca's expression was gloomy as he stared at the golden Roc Bordeaux.

"Luca, why the hurry? Are you hoping to monopolize this dimension? Hehe, behind me are the Giant Nestia, and the crazy Spell Caster Kubale as well as some other top foreign tribe members. Even if you manage to temporarily control this dimension, how long can you last?"

Luca's expression changed, and he looked at Bordeaux. "You want to join forces with me?"

"That's right. The two of us can join forces, and each of us will occupy half of the dimension's core. That Alcra is insignificant and can be easily defeated by any of us. The real trouble will come later from Nestia and Kubale. They're the most troublesome of all. As long as the two of us can occupy the dimension first, even when they arrive, what can they do? As long as they're not a Legend, they cannot expel us forcefully!"

Bordeaux' words seemed to contain an iota of logic. Previously, Luca's intention was to monopolize it but the thought of facing the giant Nestia and the Spell Caster Kubale gave him some pressure. These were the mightiest existences below a Legend in the open territory.

Even though they were the mightiest existences below a Legend, they would have to join forces to occupy this dimension. Luca looked at Bordeaux with a conflicting gaze. On one hand, he really wanted to occupy and absorb the dimension's core. It would take at least a few decades for him to break through to become an existence comparable to a Legend.

On the other hand, it would be difficult to occupy the dimension for long-term where its dimension coordinates had been publicly announced. Only by joining forces with Bordeaux, and relying on his speed and his powerful attacks, Luca would not need to fear Nestia and Kubale.

"Very well, Bordeaux, but we must swear on the Ultimate Order!"

Finally, Luca bit his lip, and conceded with Bordeaux.

"That's for sure. We must swear on the Ultimate Order!"

Thus, the two of them swiftly took out their oath stones, and swore on the Ultimate Order. With the sworn contract, the two had officially reached an agreement before entering the dimension.

"Okay, let's go now. Otherwise, it would be troublesome if Nestia and Kubale arrived first.

"Oh? I heard that Alcra is occupying this dimension. Alcra is quite unique, he's a second-generation Tree Folk, and his abilities are comparable to a preeminent Great Wizard."

Bordeaux knew some information about Alcra but they were similarly outstanding opponents who were equivalent to the preeminent Great Wizards, the mightiest below the Legends.

"Alcra is indeed quite troublesome but more than ten teams with over a hundred foreign tribes have already taken the lead, and entered the dimension. Most probably, they have already defeated Alcra and are fighting among themselves for the controlling rights of the dimension. If we go in now, who can stand up against us? I'm sure it'll be easy for us to obtain the controlling rights of the dimension."

Although Luca had arrived long ago, the reason he did not act was to allow these foreign tribes to enter and fight Alcra beforehand. With both sides sustaining losses, he would then enter and gain control of the dimension in a single swoop.

"Haha, Luca, you're still so insidious!"

Luca's mouth tensed up but he held back and did not get angry. Immediately, he turned around and flew toward the dimension in a distance.In the dimension, the Tree Folk Alcra was in his true form. Numerous roots were deeply buried in the air, absorbing traces of Elemental Origin. With this foundation, his binding powers were more stable than ever, so he was able to keep more than a hundred foreign tribes who were comparable to Great Wizards tightly bounded.

Awaiting them was the combined massacre by Alcra and Merlin!

Following the death of a Rock Tribe's preeminent Great Wizard at last, more than a hundred foreign tribes were killed. The chaotic aura of war still lingered in the air. Even space was considerably broken, and was mending quickly.

Merlin glanced at the Tree Folk Alcra. The Tree Tribe's disposition was truly distinctive. As long as they could control a dimension, the Tree Folk could wield truly inconceivable strength! Alcra had a constant source of energy just by having its roots in the air of the dimension. Drawing on the Elemental Origins, he had a steady stream of power. Therefore, it was very difficult to break Alcra's restraint. At least, these over a hundred foreign tribes could not accomplish it.

"Okay, now we can rest and recharge for a bit…"

Merlin was also preparing to use the elemental crystal stones to replenish his Magic Power. However, before he could finish his sentence, he saw Alcra shaking violently. At the same time, Merlin also felt that two foreign tribe members had entered the dimension.

"Finally, they came… Wizard Merlin, get ready, the toughest battle is upon us!"

Alcra's tone revealed an unprecedented gravity.

Chapter 595: Fighting for the Dimension III

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

"The toughest battle?"

Merlin was slightly confused but then he noticed that two unfamiliar foreign tribe members had appeared in the dimension, and were flying toward Alcra at breakneck speed.

"Whiz whiz."

The two figures were extremely fast, especially the golden ray, which arrived first before Merlin and Alcra. A burst of golden light later, there was a Roc with golden feathers.

"Alcra!"

"Bordeaux, you finally turned up!"

As the few mightiest existences of the foreign tribes in the open territory that were ranked just below a Legend, how would Alcra not know of the Feather Tribe's Bordeaux? Although Merlin had never heard of him before, seeing the gravity in Alcra's expression gave him a subtle feeling that this golden Roc was not simple.

"No, this time I'm not alone. Your name still carries some weight, Alcra, which makes us cautious. Therefore, Luca is here as well!"

Bordeaux's glance landed on Merlin for a split second but he did not pay much attention. He shifted all his attention onto Alcra.

"Luca of the Rock Tribe?"

Alcra's expression turned grave. He quietly passed a message to Merlin. "Wizard Merlin, this is troublesome. Luca of the Rock Tribe has tremendous strength whereas Bordeaux of the Feather Tribe has unbeatable speed! The combination of this duo would be even more difficult to deal with than those hundred over powerful foreign tribes. They're both the mightiest existences below a Legend in the open territory!"

"Mightiest existences below a Legend?"

Merlin raised his head fiercely, and his gaze landed on Bordeaux. Soon, another figure also arrived. The newcomer was indeed a Rock Creature, so he must be Luca mentioned by Bordeaux.

The ability to be acknowledged as the mightiest existences below a Legend was not a simple feat that could be achieved by an average being. In the open territory, those who were comparable to a preeminent Great Wizard were small in ratio but not few in numbers. Nevertheless, not every existence who was comparable to a preeminent Great Wizard could boast to have such recognition. Surely, these were the most outstanding ones among the preeminent Great Wizards.

Perhaps, Alcra, who was currently rooted in the dimension, and using the Elemental Origin as its power source, could now also be considered one of the mightiest existences below a Legend.

Such beings were definitely earth-shattering geniuses from their respective civilizations. Once they had managed to break through, they would immediately become a very powerful Legend!

"Less nonsense, attack!"

The moment Luca arrived, he glared at Alcra with a vengeful expression, and roared loudly. His entire body swelled up and was matchlessly rock-hard. Then, a giant hand began to make peculiar noises in the air.

"Bang bang bang."

Luca's speed was also very fast. Faced against the all-enclosing, thick root blockade, the golden Roc Bordeaux transformed into a golden ray in a flash, gently grabbed hold of Luca, and escaped through the gaps in the blockade.

However, that was not all. Another loud rumble sounded like the entire ground was shaking. Luca had used his violent strength to tear apart a massive hole in Alcra's web of roots from the outside.

This was a blockade that could not be broken by over a hundred powerful foreign tribes but was easily broken by Luca.

Once the two of them started attacking, Alcra was at a disadvantage. He could only endure their hits directly. Bordeaux's speed was too fast so it was impossible to target him whereas Luca's power was too destructive. The two of them had joined forces to suppress Alcra.

"Illusion!"

From Merlin's body, an unparalleled Mind Power exploded. The enormous Mind Power came like a storm, silently shrouding Bordeaux and Luca in an instant.

Since the two of them were among the mightiest existences below a Legend, it might not be possible to trap them but it would affect them a little, enough to allow Alcra to recalibrate himself.

The silent and invisible Mind Power came completely unsuspected. In such a situation, a Mind Power attack was definitely much better than a spell attack.

"Huh? Hallucinating spell?"

Bordeaux and Luca, who were wildly attacking, slowed at once. They felt the influence of a Hallucinating spell, and immediately thought of the Mind Power Masters among the Spell Casters.

In the early open territory, Spell Casters were one of the more powerful forces. Naturally, there were also some Mind Power Masters in their midst. However, these Mind Power Master were only able to affect those foreign tribes under the level of Great Wizards at most. They had never encountered a Hallucinating spell that could affect a Great Wizard, not to mention a preeminent Great Wizard.

Influenced by the Hallucinating spell, Luca could not resume his wild attack. Alcra leveraged on this opportunity to weave a large web and trap Luca and Bordeaux. It was almost three layers on the outside and three more layers on the inside.

"Wizard Merlin, well done! Let's work together and fight Bordeaux first. Since he's trapped, his speed won't be of much use!"

Alcra had even trapped Luca and Bordeaux separately. So, despite Bordeaux flying around to attack Alcra's blockade, he was unable to break the root system like Luca.

"Darkness Demon Spirit!"

Merlin wielded Darkness Eye and darkness descended. The terrifying Darkness Demon Spirit stepped out. With a strong howl, it began to attack Bordeaux together with Alcra.

"Luca, what are you doing? Without my speed, you won't be able to defeat the two of them either! D*mn it, he's a powerful Mind Power Master. It's not surprising that Alcra would share the Dimension's Core with a weakly Spell Caster."

Bordeaux was constantly evading in the shrinking space but Alcra was also continuously reducing the space, so Bordeaux's speed gradually became useless.

"Haha, Alcra, this bit of strength won't be able to trap me!"

Luca laughed aloud, and the rock surface on his body shined like lustrous metal. His body seemed to grow even bigger. With a loud roar, Luca slammed a violent punch against the thick root network.

"Snap."

The cage made from countless roots was immediately smashed, forming a large gaping hole. The aftershocks of the punch also flew viciously toward the Darkness Demon Spirit.

"Bang."

The powerful Darkness Demon Spirit was crushed by Luca upon the first encounter. It turned into a puff of darkness elements, and disappeared without a trace. Even Merlin's Darkness Eye seemed to have sustained such huge damage that Merlin's palm was quivering slightly.

With just one encounter, his Darkness Eye was grievously injured!

There was indeed a huge gap between the mightiest existences below a Legend and someone comparable to a peak Great Wizard. It was not surprising then that neither Bordeaux nor Luca paid much attention to Merlin. This was because without Merlin's Mind Power Hallucinating spells, he was considered insignificant in the open territory.

Luca's entire body had transformed into hard granite, which was his strongest state. Alcra mobilized hundreds and thousands of thick roots to lash violently on Luca's body. At Alcra's current level, every single strand of root could wield at least the power of a peak Great Wizard, so with hundreds and thousands of roots, even Luca would not be able to avoid injuries.

"Slap slap slap."

Alcra had gone berserk. This time, it was a fight to the death. If Luca managed to save Bordeaux, then with Bordeaux's speed coupled with their vigilance toward Merlin's Hallucinating spells, it would be extremely difficult to trap them again.

Therefore, this was not the time to hold back.

Each root was capable of lashing Luca into a shudder but Luca was even tougher. He continued to attack Alcra wildly, and stepped closer to Bordeaux.

"Haha, Alcra, you can't bind us!"

With Luca's loud howl, finally, a huge apparition rose behind him and slammed a fist onto the root network. The root network snapped and broke in an instant, revealing Bordeaux who was trapped inside.

"Whiz."

Bordeaux carried Luca and flew away at once. They stood in a distance, better prepared this time. It would be highly challenging to trap them again.

"Hehe, a Mind Power Master. Alcra, are you planning to retain this dimension just by relying on an insignificant Mind Power Master?"

Luca's deep voice reverberated in the air for a long time.

Merlin stood next to Alcra, both their expressions darkened.

"We're in trouble. Merlin, your attack is too weak so it's not threatening to both of them. Right now, they've discovered your Hallucinating spells. With added vigilance on their part, I'm afraid it won't be effective anymore."

Alcra also knew the trouble that awaited them. Seeing as they were unable to kill Bordeaux who possessed unmatched speed, they were now at a disadvantage. The situation had turned critical.

"If we give our all, there's still a chance, isn't it?"

Merlin narrowed his eyes, staring at Luca and Bordeaux in the distance. Currently, the critical point was Bordeaux. They had to kill Bordeaux first. Without Bordeaux's speed, they could deal with Luca slowly. Sooner or later, there would be an opportunity to kill him.

However, trapping Bordeaux again would take every effort from both of them, Alcra in particular.

"Even if we have to sustain serious injuries, we must bind Bordeaux and kill him first! Yes, we definitely still have a chance!"

Alcra also appeared to be determined. His cold gaze landed on Bordeaux, prepared to engage in a huge fight.

"Boom."

Suddenly, the entire dimension shook slightly. Subsequently, an almost one-kilometer tall giant invaded the dimension, and rapidly approached the battlefield.

At the same time, following behind the giant was a double-decker ship. On it stood a white-robed Spell Caster with an icy gaze, looking at Merlin and the others with a bemused expression.

"Bordeaux, Luca, seems like you haven't gotten rid of Alcra, so we're not too late!"

The white-robed Spell Caster on the ship laughed.

Seeing the arrival of the giant and the white-robed Spell Caster, both Bordeaux and Luca were sporting sour looks.

"D*mn it, it's the giant Nestia and the Spell Caster Kubale. They've managed to rush over in time! It's all because of that Mind Power Master. If not for him, we wouldn't have been delayed for so long and have killed Alcra long ago. Then, we would've controlled the dimension and seized its ruling rights!"

Luca grumbled under his breath, full of disgruntlement toward the giant Nestia and the Spell Caster Kubale. The giant Nestia and Spell Caster Kubale were similarly also the mightiest existences below a Legend, so any of them had the power to change this battle.

"Two more beings…"

Alcra and Merlin exchanged a look. The situation was becoming more complicated. Previously, they were prepared to give their all but now, it would be useless. Even if they had managed to kill Bordeaux, they would not be able to compete with the three remaining mightiest existences below a Legend.

In an instant, the six of them were divided into three factions, turning the situation precarious.

Chapter 596: The Top Four Join Forces

Translator:EndlessFantasy TranslationEditor:EndlessFantasy Translation

In the air, Merlin and Alcra formed one faction while Luca and Bordeaux formed another. The remaining two, Kubale and the giant Nestia also subtly joined forces.

Therefore, the situation became very tense, and nobody dared to attack first.

Suddenly, Luca said with a dark expression, "Nestia, Kubale, hehe, you better not look down on Alcra and this weak-looking Spell Caster. In reality, this weakly Spell Caster is a mysterious Mind Power Master. His Hallucinating spells are very advanced. Even I, if slightly careless, would be somewhat affected."

"Mind Power Master?"

A strange glint appeared in Kubale's eyes. He was a powerful Spell Caster. Although both belonged to the Spell Caster civilization, under such a circumstance where they were vying for the Elemental Origin, he definitely would not help Merlin.

Kubale, of course knew of Mind Power Masters but he also knew that most Mind Power Masters could only affect Spell Casters below the level of a Great Wizard. If Merlin could affect a Great Wizard, then he must be a truly formidable Mind Power Master.

"Spit it out, Luca, what are you trying to say?"

Kubale's eyes squinted. He retracted his gaze from Merlin and turned toward Luca. He would not believe that Luca was reminding them out of kindness.

"It's very simple. In order to control this dimension, we must kill both Alcra and this person. They're now in control of this dimension, so only by killing them, we can control the Dimension Core! After killing them, the ownership of the Dimension Core will be determined based on our respective techniques!"

"Swoosh."

Luca's suggestion made both faces of Merlin and Alcra turned grave. If it was only Luca and Bordeaux, they might still be able to resist somewhat. However, with the giant Nestia and Kubale thrown in the mix, Merlin and Alcra had no chance of winning.

"Yes, after all, we're not Great Legends, so we cannot forcibly plunder an Elemental Origin controlled by others. We can only kill Alcra first, then fight for the dimension thereafter!"

Kubale's gaze continued to sweep over Alcra and Merlin calculatingly. There was a hint of animosity from him.

Gradually, the four of them slowly formed a circle, with Merlin and Alcra trapped in the middle.

"This is troublesome."

Alcra murmured. Suddenly, the giant Nestia and Rock Creature Luca's bodies began to expand. The giant, especially, whose arm was as thick as a large pillar, directly swept at Alcra. Such raw power was even more terrifying than Luca.

With regard to strength, no one could compare to the Giant Tribe. This was the unique talent of the Giant Tribe!

At the same time, Kubale waved his hand lightly. A layer of color ray appeared and blanketed the surroundings. Various elements combined to form a stunning binding spell. Perhaps, with Merlin and Alcra's combined powers and a little more time, they could break through Kubale's binding spell. Right now, how could they spare any energy to break the binding spell?

In the blink of an eye, three of the mightiest existences below a Great Legend had launched their attack. The Feather Tribe's Bordeaux was also watching them closely, his gaze traveling up and down Merlin and Alcra rapidly. His speed was the fastest, so if there was an opportunity, he would launch a striking attack.

Currently, it was Bordeaux who was the most terrifying and most threatening.

Alcra had transformed into a large tree once again, and covered Merlin securely. He weaved his thick roots into a ball, and endured the violent attacks from Giant Nestia and Luca.

"Do we have any other way?"

Merlin looked at the violent attack outside. Right now, Alcra could only maintain a defensive stance. Neither of them had any opportunity to counterattack. Merlin's Hallucinating spells had been alerted by Luca and the others, so it was completely impossible to confuse these mightiest existences below a Great Legend.

Alcra shook his head in despair. "I was too greedy. Initially, I thought that as long as I could hold on a little while more, there would be a gamechanger. If I've successfully become an upper rank Tree Folk, then there would be no danger unless a Legend appeared. Now though…"

"What they want is the controlling rights over the dimension. If we voluntarily relinquish, would that be a gamechanger?"

Merlin thought of voluntarily relinquishing the controlling rights of the dimension but Alcra smiled bitterly. "Wizard Merlin, you must've not been in the uncharted territory before, so you don't know of their ruthlessness. Right now, they're determined. No matter if we relinquish the controlling rights or not, we won't be able to escape the fate of being killed by them. With the controlling rights of the dimension, I can at least hold on a little longer. If we lose the controlling rights of the dimension, I'm afraid that we'll collapse in an instant under their siege."

Alcra's words made Merlin engaged deep in thought. Indeed, the situation both were in was truly challenging. There was no way out.

Unless a miracle happened…

"Crash."

There was a violent sway. The siege outside was too berserk. Giant Nestia and Rock Creature Luca's joint attacks had exceeded Alcra's limits. Now, every attack required him to draw from the Dimension Core.

Merlin took a deep breath. He saw that Alcra's support was getting more and more strenuous. Although the Tree Folk particularly excelled at defending, and their defensive powers were astounding, the Giant Tribe and the Rock Tribe excelled at attacking. Hence, under the siege of these two powerful tribes, even Alcra was in a precarious situation.

"Alcra, I might have a way to solve this crisis but I need you to hold on a little longer. The longer you can hold on, the better."

"You have a way?"

Alcra's huge roots formed a large circle. One after another, every root snapped by Nestia and Luca was very grievous to Alcra.

"Yes, I have a way but you must hold on for a long enough time!"

Once Merlin finished speaking, he calmed his heart down. Countless thoughts flashed through his head. He was also taking a risk. He was going to use this time to submerge himself in the entire dimension's memory.

His current Mind Power had reached the critical point between the Eighth-level and the Ninth-level. He was only short by a tiny gap. With some new understanding, he could immediately consolidate the Ninth-level Mind Heart.

Upon successfully consolidating the Ninth-level Mind Heart, Merlin would be able to forcefully mobilize the power of the Illusory World, which was invincible against anyone below a Great Legend!

Of course, that was the best-case scenario. If he failed, then he had no choice by to sacrifice Titus, which was forcing Titus to mobilize the Illusory World. However, that would cause irreparable damage to the Illusory World, and even Titus would completely vanish.

There was a lot of chaos outside, but Merlin maintained a calm composure, and his consciousness soon melded into the dimension's memory.

The entire dimension's memory was incomparably vast and never-ending. Before this, Merlin was far from sensing all of it. In addition, a dimension's memory was not something that anyone could sense.

Merlin felt like he had incarnated into a pair of invisible eyes in the stream time, slowly observing the dimension's horizons. As he watched, his heart felt touched, and there was a trace of anticipation that seemed like it was about to burst out from the depths of his heart."Bang bang bang."

Time slowly ticked by, the giant Nestia and Luca had been attacking for three days and three nights. Alcra really gave almost his all, and managed to withstand everything!

However, it was apparent to everyone that Alcra was holding up strenuously, and his roots had been damaged. Even his nine Tree Saplings were swaying dangerously like they were about to collapse.

The nine Tree Saplings were Alcra's foundation as he relied on the nine Tree Saplings. Only if they were combined into one, he would have a chance of leveling up to become an upper rank Tree Folk and the most demonic existence among the Tree Tribe.

Right now, however, his nine Tree Saplings were struggling to survive. The emerald glow on his body had long since disappeared, and there was a look of exhaustion. This was the price for toughing it out for three days!

"It has been three days. I can't hold on any longer…"

Alcra smiled bitterly. His humongous body began to tremble violently, and his leaves began to wither and fall…

"Crack."

Finally, the giant Nestia was the first to break through Alcra's defense. His two hands tore viciously, and a large crack appeared on Alcra's defensive ring. Inside, Merlin and Alcra's true forms could be seen.

"Alcra, you can't block this anymore!"

The giant roared, and stepped forward. A fist the size of a mountain smashed down brutally.

"Boom."

The nine Tree Saplings around Alcra collapsed in an instant. They were the foundation for Alcra to level up to become an upper rank Tree Folk but now, they were destroyed. Without any special luck, reconsolidating them would need at least a hundred years.

"Destroyed… You've destroyed my foundation. Haha, die, die, die, let's all die together!"

Alcra lost his mind in an instant. His true form grew even taller, and his roots stretched madly toward the air. He was desperately gathering the last burst of energy!

At this juncture, even the giant Nestia stopped attacking, and took a step back. No one wanted to be injured right as victory was within their grasp. After all, once Alcra was killed, they would have to fight each other for the controlling rights of the dimension.

Finally, Luca sneered. "Since everyone doesn't want to suffer any damage, then let's attack together. We'll kill both Alcra and this Spell Caster!"

"Okay, let's attack together!"

Luca's suggestion was unanimously agreed by the other three. Simultaneously, the four of them attacked. Only one attack was needed because Alcra and Merlin could not withstand it any longer.

"Kill!"

The four beings growled, and wielded their most powerful techniques. The earth-shattering power was enough to cause despair to anyone below a Legend.

Even Alcra, in the midst of his insane screeches, had a look of despair in his eyes…

"Swoosh."

Suddenly, the murderous aura in the air seemed to vanish without a trace, and the siege seemed to stop.

At this moment, the previously unmoving Merlin, opened his eyes.

Chapter 597: The Giant King Arrives!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

"Titus, act now!"

Merlin's voice was very soft as if he was talking to himself but if one were to sense carefully, there was endless anger pouring from his body.

Anger erupted from him like a volcano. Of course, it was impossible for Merlin to level up his Mind Power to the Ninth-level within such a short period of time, and suppress everyone. This would only exist in legends. According to Merlin's estimation, he was one opening short of breaking through his Mind Power to the Ninth-level. Nevertheless, simply relying on the dimension's memory alone was far from sufficient.

There was a measure of prudence in his heart, so he was unwilling to forcefully mobilize the Illusory World. However, this prudence had led to the destruction of Alcra's nine Tree Saplings and his foundation.

Throughout the time he spent with Alcra in this dimension, they had experienced life and death circumstances together, and formed a deep friendship. Just like right now, despite Alcra's roots being damaged, he still held on. It was not only for the alleged "hope" mentioned by Merlin but also for their deep friendship. This was a friendship that transcended the oath.

Although the open territory was filled with all kinds of manipulations and betrayals, there were some foreign tribes who experienced life and death circumstances together, and as a result, formed a lasting friendship. Finally, they explored the open territory together.

Seeing that Alcra did not hold back from using his nine Tree Saplings to resist Nestia and Luca's attacks, and consequently had his foundations damaged, Merlin could no longer keep calm. He immediately opened his eyes, and no longer hesitated. This time, there was a white illusion bead in his hand.

"Boom."

The entire world appeared to quieten. Time stopped flowing, and all life forms were silenced. Of course, the Illusory World did not have such powers but it could make everyone "see" such a scenario, and feel its endless power.

This was a real Hallucinating spell. Using the small strand of Mind Power left behind, Titus forcefully mobilized the Illusory World. So, even a Great Legend would be trapped in this Hallucinating spell.

Luca, Bordeaux, the Giant Nestia, and the Spell Caster Kubale were no exceptions. All of them fell into the illusion.

"Die!"

Raging flames erupted. Gale, thunder, and ice crystals swirled wildly, swiftly engulfing these four foreign tribes. Merlin took the opportunity to release his spell fusion while they were trapped in the illusion.

"Bang bang bang bang."

The bodies of these beings exploded in a dense manner. Merlin's spell fusion had achieved the level of a peak Great Wizard, so it had a definite advantage over those trapped in an illusion.

"No, how could this be?"

First, it was the Giant Nestia. His Mind Power was the weakest, so he was completely trapped in the illusion. When the spell fusion engulfed him, Nestia did not react, and was immediately consumed by the flames.

Not only Nestia but Luca, Bordeaux, and Kubale were also engulfed in the spell fusion. Nevertheless, Luca managed to survive unscathed due to his tough defensive powers. On the other hand, Kubale and Bordeaux appeared to possess some defensive techniques and were able to withstand Merlin's spell fusion.

Although they managed to withstand it, their bodies were gravely injured, and their auras began to weaken.

"Merlin, I can't hold on anymore…"

Titus' weak voice came from the illusion bead. Then, the Illusory World retracted quickly and returned into the illusion bead. Kubale, Luca, and the others appeared to wake from a dream-like state.

"Another Hallucinating spell?"

"Where's Nestia? Where did Nestia go?"

Luca and the others were staring at Merlin suspiciously. At this moment, the three of them exchanged a look. All of them were gravely injured, and Nestia had disappeared. Upon careful recollection, they vaguely recalled some details.

"Nestia is dead! How can there be such a powerful Hallucinating spell?"

Kubale stared at Merlin incredulously. As a fellow Spell Caster, he was aware of the formidability of Merlin's Hallucinating spells. None of the Mind Power Masters had been able to become existences comparable to a Great Legend.

However, Merlin's Hallucinating spell was able to trap them, namely the mightiest existences below a Legend. This power was at least equivalent to a Great Legend, which surpassed the limits of a Mind Power Master. Thus, Kubale's face was full of confusion and disbelief. Only he understood how terrifying this really was, and what implications it brought.

If the Mind Power Masters finally managed to give birth to an existence comparable to a Great Legend, that meant that the Mind Power system was gradually becoming perfect. In the future, the Mind Power system would not be inferior to the Spell Caster system.

Alcra also reacted, and asked in amazement, "Wizard Merlin, you… Have you succeeded?"

Merlin remained quiet. Certainly, he did not succeed. After Titus' voice fell, Merlin briefly probed the Illusory World, and did not sense Titus' aura. Perhaps, Titus had been destroyed after forcefully mobilizing the Illusory World.

Of course, this was only Merlin's guess. Without Titus' help, Merlin would not be able to mobilize the Illusory World again.

"Alcra, the three of them are seriously injured. Let's join forces and kill them!"

Merlin's gaze swept through the three beings, his body exuding a ruthless murderous intent. Currently, the situation had been completely reversed. Even without the Illusory World, based on these three beings' condition, they would not be able to withstand Merlin and Alcra's joint attack.

"Boom."

Suddenly, the sky seemed to darken, and the entire dimension was filled with strong pressure, causing everyone's breathing to become slightly suffocated.

"This…"

Everyone stared blankly at the dark sky. This was not darkness but clearly a gigantic palm that covered almost half the dimension. The palm was swinging down toward Merlin and the others.

"A Legend, and not an ordinary Legend too! Finally, a Legend is interfering. Go, go, go or we'll all die!"

Seeing this terrifying palm in the sky, everyone knew that a foreign tribe's Legend had acted. Looking at the gigantic palm, it might be a Giant King.

A Giant King was comparable to a Great Legend. Faced against such an existence, Luca and the others had zero thoughts of fighting back. Once a Legend interfered, this Inception Dimension had become a Legend's battleground. Despite being outstanding individuals below a Legend, they were nothing in the eyes of a Great Legend, and could be wiped out in a single swipe.

"Whiz."

Bordeaux was the fastest to escape. The golden light on his body flashed brighter than ever, and it seemed like he wielded some sort of mysterious technique. From within the golden light, an even bigger golden Roc appeared. This bigger Roc's speed was several times faster. It transformed into a golden ray, and escaped the hit of the Giant King's palm.

However, the rest of them were not so lucky. Even though Kubale was the most preeminent Great Wizard and even wielded some casting tools, he was ultimately unable to block the power of the gigantic palm.

"Crack."

Kubale's double-decker ship was smashed into smithereens, one layer after another. Subsequently, Kubale himself could only watch as the palm landed on him and crushed him into pieces.

Despite Luca being a powerful Rock Creature with powerful defensive powers, everything was relative. In the face of such an unimaginably huge palm, the rocks on his body broke apart and were crushed into dust.

All of them were the mightiest existence below a Legend. They were well-known in the open territory, and no one would dare to provoke them. However, faced against a Great Legend, they were completely unable to resist.

This was the crucial difference between a Legend and below a Legend. Even someone infinitely close to a Legend was only close, and not really a Legend.

"We can't wait anymore. Alcra, escape, escape with all your might!"

Looking at the attack of the Giant King, a great sense of danger appeared in Merlin's heart. He dared not dither any longer. Right now, if he was even one step too slow, he would turn to dust together with Luca and Kubale.

"Legend Zado, I'm counting on you!"

Merlin gritted his teeth. He had one last trump card, which was the imprint given to him by Legend Zado. This imprint was able to withstand a Great Legend's two or three Maxims but only for a relatively short duration.

Back when Merlin was facing Legend Sith in the Shkedu Dimension, it was safe for him to hide in the Pavilion of Rarities, so he did not have to activate this imprint. Right now, however, faced with the Giant King's attacks, Merlin had no way of escaping. Without blocking the Giant King, both Alcra and he would die.

"Boom."

Merlin's Mind Power immediately activated the imprint left behind by Legend Zado. Instantly, a flame flew out, and an apparition of Legend Zado appeared in the flames.

"Merlin, what trouble did you run into this time? Hell, a Giant King, you actually provoked a Giant King and not an ordinary Giant King as well?"

As soon as Legend Zado's apparition appeared, he immediately sensed the tremendous pressure. When he saw that gigantic palm, it was clear that it was a terrifying Giant King.

At this time, Merlin was being crushed by the tremendous pressure to the point of suffocation, so it was difficult for him to even speak. Naturally, he did not answer Legend Zado's question. He and Alcra immediately flew out of the dimension as fast as possible. Since the Giant King was only trying to obtain the dimension, it would be safe as long as they left the dimension. The Great Legends could forcibly plunder the Dimension Core, so Merlin and Alcra's control over the Dimension Core was insignificant.

"Boom!"

The entire dimension was shaking violently as if it would be torn apart. This was a result of the Giant King's terrifying palm encountering Legend Zado's imprint that Merlin had activated. Legend Zado's imprint was able to rival a Great Legend's two or three Maxims, so its abilities were not weak, merely short-lived.

Therefore, it should be able to restrain this terrifying Giant King for a moment even though this was not an ordinary Giant King. Merlin's inference was proven true the next moment because the Giant King's hand was not able to press down onto them. It was blocked by Legend Zado's apparition.

Merlin and Alcra took advantage of this time to fly out of the dimension. They did not dare delay, and continued flying toward the depths of the dark and icy Void Zone.

Chapter 598: Searching for a Dimension

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

In the Void Zone, Merlin and Alcra had been flying for a very long time. If not for the dimension map, they would not be able to find the Inceptive Dimension again. No matter how powerful the Giant King was, he would not be able to find them.

Alcra suddenly stopped, and his face shifted slightly. In a deep voice, he said, "Wizard Merlin, do you feel it? The controlling rights on our bodies are starting to fade away. The Giant King has taken control of the dimension!"

Merlin felt it as well. His control over the dimension was growing weaker. Those below a Legend could not forcibly plunder the controlling rights of a dimension, which was why Luca and the others had to kill Merlin and Alcra in order to seize the controlling rights of the dimension.

However, a Great Legend could forcibly plunder the controlling rights, so despite Merlin and Alcra escaping, it would not affect the Giant King. He would still be able to control the Dimension Core.

As the dimension's controlling rights faded away, Alcra's expression also became more and more disgruntled. Compared to Merlin, controlling a dimension was most beneficial to Alcra.

Unfortunately, this time, not only did Alcra failed to leverage on the dimension to become an upper rank Tree Folk but he had also lost his nine Tree Saplings, and his foundation was damaged. He gained nothing and had lost everything.

Merlin was also slightly remorseful. If only he had forcibly wielded the Illusory World earlier, Alcra's foundation would not have been damaged. Hence, Merlin could not help but whisper, "Alcra, if only I wielded my trump card a little earlier, you wouldn't have lost your foundation…"

Alcra raised his head, and forced out a smile. "Wizard Merlin, it's not your fault. The trump card is to be revealed at the most crucial moment. Moreover, if it wasn't for you, I might not have been able to escape this time. I've been too greedy. Initially, once the dimension was discovered, I should've voluntarily relinquished it. I shouldn't have tried to keep it. Everything happened because of my greed, so I'm merely suffering the consequences of my own actions. It has nothing to do with you."

The two of them did not speak. Perhaps, Alcra was considering what to do while Merlin extended his Mind Power into the Illusory World.

"Whoosh."

When Merlin's Mind Power entered the Illusory World, he saw that no changes had occurred. The only difference was that Titus had disappeared.

Merlin frowned, and took a deep breath. Suddenly, he bellowed, "Titus, come out, I know you won't die so easily."

His loud voice reverberated around. Soon after, a familiar silhouette appeared. It was Titus.

However, Titus' aura was extremely weak. Even Merlin could see that Titus had been reduced to a tiny sliver of Mind Power. Upon seeing Merlin, Titus smiled bitterly and said, "Wizard Merlin, I've died long ago. What's remaining is only a strand of Mind Power, which has now been critically hit."

"That's right, you're already dead!"

Merlin smiled. He had vaguely guessed that Titus would not disappear so easily. After all, Titus had spent so much effort to leave behind this strand of Mind Power, and even put the Illusory World inside the illusion bead in order to preserve this Mind Power as a foundation of his "resurrection". How would he be annihilated so easily?

Titus did not disappear, which was also good news to Merlin. This encounter also weakened Titus, so he would no longer be able to interfere in the Illusory World.

Merlin subsequently left the Illusory World. His main objective was to verify Titus' condition. Seeing that Titus did not disappear, naturally, he did not remain in the Illusory World. This was because he and Alcra were still in the Void Zone.

After leaving the Illusory World, Merlin looked at Alcra. Many thoughts flashed through his mind. Since Alcra's foundation had been damaged, without the help of the Elemental Origin, it would take at least a hundred years for him to reconsolidate the nine Tree Saplings.

As for becoming an upper rank Tree Folk, it would take even longer, perhaps a few hundred years. Although the Tree Folk had a long lifespan, a few hundred years was not considered a short time. Especially for the proud Alcra, this was a huge blow.

Additionally, Merlin wanted to find the Saitu Dimension but now, he had lost the Illusory World trump card as well as Legend Zado's imprint. Merlin was only on par with a peak Great Wizard, which was highly dangerous in the open territory.

Perhaps, even before locating the Saitu Dimension, he would encounter other foreign tribes, which could be very dangerous for Merlin. Even if he were to turn back to the Rainbow Dimension now, there would still be dangers lurking ahead. Despite suffering the loss of his nine Tree Saplings, Alcra was still comparable to a preeminent Great Wizard. His abilities were just slightly lesser than those of Nestia and Luca, who were the mightiest existences below a Legend.

In particular, the collaboration between Merlin and Alcra allowed them to complement one another. Thus, they were able to rival the mightiest existences below a Legend. If they had to face any foreign tribe below a Legend, they would not be afraid.

Thinking along these lines, Merlin made up his mind. He raised his head and asked, "Alcra, what are your plans?"

"Plans?"

Alcra smiled bitterly. "I'm going to stop exploring the open territory and return to the Tree Tribe. When I've reconsolidated the nine Tree Saplings, I'll come to the open territory again!"

"That might take a few hundred years. Actually, I have a way that not only will allow you to recover in a short time but may even help you to improve further and become the upper rank Tree Folk that you dream of!"

Merlin said with a serious expression.

"Hmm? Wizard Merlin, what's the way?"

Alcra stared at Merlin doubtfully.

"The reason I came to the open territory is to find a dimension. I have the coordinates of this dimension, and the master of this dimension is most likely dead, so there's a chance that it has become a masterless dimension. It's very dangerous for us to be separated, so why don't we collaborate once again and find this dimension together? Once we find it, then similar to the Inceptive Dimension, we'll each control half of the Elemental Origin, and use it according to our needs. What do you say?"

"You have the coordinates of a dimension? Moreover, it's highly likely to be a masterless dimension?"

Upon hearing Merlin's words, Alcra's breathing became a little excited. A possibly masterless dimension was truly too precious.

Perhaps some of the Great Legends would not be so concerned but to those below a Great Legend, it was entirely difficult to obtain a dimension. This time, all because of an Inceptive Dimension, hundreds of powerful foreign tribes, as well as four of the mightiest foreign tribe members below a Legend, came to fight for it. This spoke volumes of the value and importance of a dimension.

Naturally, Alcra was unsatisfied. He was unwilling to return to the Tree Tribe and live silently for hundreds of years, just to come back to the open territory to continue fighting.

Therefore, if there was a masterless dimension, even if the chance of it being masterless was only one percent, Alcra would not give up.

"Haha, Wizard Merlin, if you have the dimension coordinates and we collaborate together, we have a high chance of winning anything less than a Great Legend."

Merlin saw Alcra's excited expression and nodded. "You're right. However, before that, I'm afraid we must swear on the Ultimate Order again."

Alcra nodded. Although their relationship had become very close, upon encountering a benefit, there would be a lot of uncertainties regardless of familiarity.

Thus, it was inevitable for them to swear a new oath on the Ultimate Order. Besides, it would reduce a lot of unnecessary conflict in the future. The oath mainly stated that if they had found a new dimension, the two of them must work together, and each would receive half of the controlling rights as well as an undertaking to not attack each other.

Once the oath was completed, the two of them were able to venture out together to find the Saitu Dimension.

"The Saitu Dimension is located in the dark territory. Until now, no one has been able to draw a detailed map of this territory, so we might have to search for a long time."

Merlin said as he pointed the dimension map.

"Haha, I have once searched a territory for more than ten years. In the open territory, the most important thing is to have patience. Anyone without patience would not be able to find a dimension."

Alcra did not seem to mind. As long as they had the right dimension coordinates, they would find it eventually.

Merlin nodded, so together with Alcra, they entered the dark territory where it had not been drawn on the dimension map, which was also where the Saitu Dimension was located.The open territory was so massive that even the unmarked dark territory was endless. Merlin and Alcra flew in the dark territory for over ten days but still did not find the Saitu Dimension. Alcra remained unfazed because he was already used to it. Instead, it was Merlin who appeared to be impatient.

However, in the past ten days, Merlin was not completely without benefit. Now, he knew why those Great Wizards who drew the maps suffered such heavy losses. In the open territory, the foreign tribes posed the greatest danger.

Previously, Merlin had been lucky when he found the Inceptive Dimension, and did not encounter any foreign tribes. This time, perhaps due to Alcra's presence, his luck had not been stellar. In just over ten days, they had already encountered three groups of foreign tribes.

These foreign tribes worked together in groups of three or four. They would deliberately hide in the dark territory, and upon detecting anyone, immediately launch an attack. If their first hit was ineffective, they would immediately escape, which made it almost impossible to guard against them.

However, none of these three groups of foreign tribes were able to escape. It was their misfortune for running into Merlin and Alcra's joint forces. Whenever they were attacked, Alcra would trap the entire surrounding area so these foreign tribes were unable to escape. Despite losing his nine Tree Saplings, Alcra was still comparable to a preeminent Great Wizard, so trapping a few foreign tribes was a walk in the park.

Additionally, there was also Merlin's Hallucinating spell attack. As long as it was not a Legend, Merlin and Alcra were able to defeat all their opponents. Especially faced with these foreign tribes who were deliberately committing murder in the dark territory, Merlin had no trace of compassion, and killed all of them.

After killing these foreign tribes, Merlin also discovered that Darkness Eye in his palm seemed to absorb the negative energy. Alas, until now, regardless of the amount of negative energy it had absorbed, Darkness Eye did not seem to change.

Merlin could vaguely sense that Darkness Eye wished to undergo a transformation into its seventh form, which would possess the power to tackle a Great Legend. However, once the seventh form of Darkness Eye was cultivated, Merlin would be controlled by the Legend of Darkness Wizard Oflas, turning into a puppet.

When the Blackfire Lord removed the curse on Merlin's Darkness Eye, the Legend of Darkness Wizard Oflas could no longer control Merlin. As a result, it was uncertain whether Merlin would still be able to cultivate Darkness Eye to its seventh form. In this regard, there was nothing Merlin could do.

"Wizard Merlin, don't give up. It has only been over ten days. We'll continue searching. It's definitely in this area. At most, in the next ten years, we'll be able to find it!"

Alcra said confidently.

"Ten years?"

Merlin winced in despair. It seemed like they would have to search slowly. Nonetheless, within this period, Merlin intended to construct the Eighth-level spells.

Chapter 599: Level Up, Eighth-level Wizard!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

In the Inception Dimension, Merlin's Mind Power had already reached the peak of the Eighth-level. Considering the capacity of his Mind Heart, his Mind Power could no longer be rivaled by an average Great Wizard.

Upon reaching the level of Great Wizard, all the Spell Models would be combined into one. Therefore, the Spell Casters no longer had any need for Mind Power. Besides the Mind Power Masters, no one else would waste their time to cultivate Mind Power.

Upon becoming a Great Wizard, every Spell Caster would generally invest all their effort into consolidating a Maxim in order to become a Great Legend! Only the Mind Power Masters would continue to strengthen their Mind Powers in hopes of perfecting the Mind Power system and possess powers comparable to a Great Legend.

As such, an average Spell Caster's Mind Power was not very powerful. With Merlin's Eighth-level Mind Heart and peak Mind Powers, it was more than sufficient to construct all the Eighth-level spells.

Constructing spells was already a familiar path for Merlin. In the remaining time, while searching for the Saitu Dimension with Alcra, Merlin was also using the Matrix to derive spells.

Once all the Eighth-level spells had been derived, Merlin took a look at the energy stored in the Matrix. It had been consumed almost by half but there was still a little over half remaining, which should be enough to derive the Ninth-level spells. In other words, Merlin would no longer have to worry about deriving spells.

According to Merlin's deduction, Ninth-level spells would be the final spell he would construct using the Matrix. Once he had constructed all the Ninth-level spells, the next step would be combining his Spell Models into one to become a Great Wizard. In that case, the ability of the Matrix to derive spells would be rendered useless.

"Alcra!"

Merlin suddenly stopped Alcra.

Alcra turned around, and looked at Merlin questioningly. They had been flying for a long time but still did not find the Saitu Dimension.

Merlin did not hide anything from Alcra and explained, "Alcra, recently, I've been preparing to construct some spells so I might need your help to keep guard. Once I finish constructing the spells, we'll resume our search for the Saitu Dimension."

"Construct spells? You're going to level up?"

Alcra had been associating with Spell Casters for quite some time so naturally, he knew some common knowledge about Spell Casters. Constructing spells was a road that had to be taken by Spell Casters in order to become more powerful. Moreover, the reason that the Spell Casters were able to rise into one of the most powerful civilizations in the Void Zone so quickly was also attributed to their unique spell construction system. As long as someone had the right qualifications and suitable talent, they were able to construct Spell Models, thus giving rise to many powerful Wizards.

Therefore, the Spell Caster civilization was able to become so powerful despite entering the Void Zone only three thousand over years ago.

"Yes. In fact, I could have constructed the spells and level up in the earlier dimension but because of some other considerations, I did not level up."

Merlin did not tell Alcra everything. If only he had constructed the Eighth-level spells back then, supported by his four-elemental spells, he could have perhaps achieved the level of a preeminent Great Wizard.

At least, he would have been able to inflict some damage on Luca, Nestia, and the others. Perhaps, Alcra's nine Tree Saplings would not have been destroyed. Nevertheless, there was no use saying that now. Merlin had also learned a lesson, which was to improve his abilities as soon as possible. This way, it would prevent him from being underpowered when they had found the Saitu Dimension, and become Alcra's burden.

"Okay, you can construct your spells at ease. I'll protect you. Even should a preeminent Great Wizard approach us, it would take some time to break my protection."

Alcra was naturally pleased. Any improvement in Merlin's abilities would greatly benefit their expedition in the Void Zone. Now that the two of them had joined forces to act together, Merlin becoming more powerful was of course better.

"Rumble."

Thereafter, Alcra revealed his true form, which was an incomparably massive tree. The tree stood in the middle of the Void Zone, its sprawling canopy covered an entire region while countless thick roots wrapped themselves securely around Merlin to protect him.

Merlin also felt very secured on the inside, so he began to construct spells peacefully.

Simulating a spell model was a walk in the park for Merlin since he was familiar with it. The point of reference for every spell was one hundred percent compatibility, which would guarantee that the constructed spells were perfect-grade spells.

With every perfect-grade spell, they would help Merlin become more powerful when he had combined Spell Models in the future. The more perfect-grade spells he had, upon becoming a Great Wizard, Merlin might be able to become a demonic genius who could challenge past his own level. Even as a Great Wizard, he could possibly rival a Great Legend. This was considered a shining star among all the civilizations as well as one of the most powerful geniuses.

If Alcra could reconsolidate the nine Tree Saplings and level up into an upper rank Tree Folk, then he would become one of the most powerful geniuses among the Tree Tribe. This was because as an upper rank Tree Folk, he could rival a Great Legend.

Therefore, when choosing a spell, Merlin would select one with a hundred percent compatibility even if its power was slightly weaker. Nevertheless, perfect-grade spells generally packed a highly powerful force.

Over time, Merlin constructed one spell after another, causing the aura on his body to become stronger and stronger. Due to the power of the Eighth-level spells, they took a long time to be constructed, far exceeding that taken by the Seventh-level spells.

Moreover, in the Void Zone, there were no elements, hence Merlin had to use elemental crystal stones to replenish his Magic Power. The level of Magic Power required by the Eighth-level spells was astounding. Every type of spell consumed nearly a hundred thousand elemental crystal stones.

Six-Elemental spells consumed nearly six hundred thousand elemental stones just to replenish Merlin's Magic Power. In fact, Merlin began to regret constructing spells in the Void Zone because it had consumed too many elemental crystal stones. He would rather do it in a dimension with elements, and use one or two years to slowly replenish his Magic Power.

After an unknown period of time, Merlin slowly opened his eyes. Feeling the intense Magic Power coursing through his body, a sense of power came unbidden.

The transition from the Seventh-level to the Eighth-level might seem like a minuscule improvement but in reality, Merlin's abilities soared from a peak Great Wizard to a preeminent Great Wizard.

Based on Merlin's guess, the power of his spell fusion should almost reach the level of a preeminent Great Wizard. This was a substantive improvement. The difference between a peak Great Wizard and a preeminent Great Wizard might seem negligible but was an issue of limitation.

A peak Great Wizard could be achieved by any Spell Caster with some talents but a preeminent Great Wizard could not be achieved unless at least one's ability had reached his furthest limit.

Merlin, for example, had numerous perfect-grade spells and the most powerful fusion Pandora Demon Abilities but this was not enough to become a preeminent Great Wizard. Only by adding the Four-Elemental Spell Fusion, he was barely able to possess the abilities of a preeminent Great Wizard. Of course, compared to Alcra, Luca and the others, there was still a considerable gap.

"Merlin, are you awake?"

Alcra had been protecting Merlin for nearly a year, and had been watching him almost all the time. Initially, Merlin's body did not exude any aura that felt threatening to him but as time passed, and Merlin constructed his spells, Alcra could sense a looming aura that made him feel slightly threatened.

"Alcra, thank you for almost one year of protection. I've successfully constructed the spells and become an Eighth-level Spell Caster!"

Merlin hid almost nothing from Alcra so Alcra knew that Merlin was only a Seventh-level Spell Caster, who now became an Eighth-level Spell Caster.

"An Eighth-level Spell Caster? I wonder how much further your abilities have improved…"

There was a faint trace of curiosity in Alcra's voice.

"My abilities? Why don't I try it out?"

Alcra was thinking along the same lines so he laughed aloud. "Haha, no problem. The Tree Folk's defense is quite strong. Unless you lure me into an illusion using your Mind Power Master abilities, you shouldn't be able to cause any harm to me. Let's see how your abilities have changed! Come on, use your newly constructed spells and wield your most powerful force!"

There was an emerald glow on Alcra's massive tree body that made him look lush and vibrant. It appeared that Alcra had not remained stagnant throughout this period but gradually recovered.

"Very well." Merlin was also eager to try his abilities. He knew the extent of Alcra's defense, so he did not hold back at all. He stretched out a pale hand as the elements fluctuated wildly around him.

Flame, thunder, gale, and ice crystals – the Four-Elemental spells were fused together by Merlin, and he compressed them continuously.

"Go."

Sensing the critical point, Merlin stretched out his hand and pushed. A ferocious Spell Fusion flew toward Alcra in an instant, and exploded upon impact with the huge shield woven together by Alcra.

The violent shock wave caused even Merlin to stumble a few steps backward whereas Alcra's tree body was quivering gently. Soon, however, the movement calmed.

"Haha, not bad, not bad. You're probably almost comparable to a preeminent Great Wizard now! Great job, Merlin, really great job. Now you have the ability to harm the most preeminent Great Wizards. With the addition of your Hallucinating spells, you would be extremely formidable!"

Alcra was a little shocked in his heart. He did not expect that Merlin's attack was almost comparable to a preeminent Great Wizard already. This was a substantive transformation that was very critical. Originally, with the complement of Hallucinating spells, Merlin was already quite impressive. Now, following the improvement of his spells, he was not only impressive but intimidating.

A smile appeared on Merlin's face. His prediction of the spell fusion's power had not been wrong. Right now, he was an Eighth-level Spell Caster with the powers to cause harm to a preeminent Great Wizard. Undoubtedly, it would further secure his expedition in the open territory.

"Very well. Alcra. Let's continue to search for the Saitu Dimension."

Despite becoming an Eighth-level Spell Caster, Merlin of course, did not forget their main objective, which was to locate the Saitu Dimension. According to the size of the dark territory marked on the dimension map, they had only searched a very small area.

Since Merlin's abilities had undergone a big improvement, they widened their search range. Each of them searched an area by themselves but not too far apart from one another. As long as there was any movement, both sides would be able to sense it.

In the pitch-black Void Zone, one year, two years, three years had passed…

Merlin and Alcra had searched for nearly five years but the lonely and boring days did not deter their strides. Finally, Alcra was the one who discovered a cloud-like dimension within the open territory.

The two of them compared it to the dimension map. This was a dimension that had not been marked on the latest dimension map, so it was likely that it was the Saitu Dimension that Merlin and Alcra had been searching for.

"We've finally found it! Nevertheless, we must be cautious. I'm going to check if Legend Saitu's mind imprint still exists!"

Although Merlin was excited, this was still a dimension occupied by Wizard Saitu. Merlin was not sure whether Wizard Saitu was present, so he first needed to determine if there was a mind imprint.

If there was none, it would mean that the Saitu Dimension had once again become a masterless dimension.

Therefore, Merlin carefully mobilized his Mind Power, and extended it into the dimension.

Chapter 600: Paul

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

As a Mind Power Master, Merlin was highly sensitive to mind imprints. Immediately, his Mind Power discovered that this dimension did not have a Great Legend's imprint.

"There's no Wizard Saitu's mind imprint but there's a godly aura though it's very weak…"

Merlin retracted his Mind Power, and muttered in the direction of the dimension.

"There's a god? If the aura is very weak, then there're a few possibilities. Maybe, as you said, this dimension used to be controlled by Wizard Saitu but for some unknown reason, perhaps Wizard Saitu's death, the mind imprint disappeared. Then, the dimension gave birth to a god or the previously suppressed god regained its consciousness… Regardless, this god's ability must be slightly weaker or still bounded."

Alcra had many speculations, and was not at all cowered by the existence of a god. Searching for dimensions in the open territory would naturally result in some encounters with the gods born in the dimensions. However, due to their seclusion, as long as the gods were born in a dimension, and did not step out to engage with other gods and foreign tribes, they were not really fearsome.

Even gods who were comparable to a Great Legend could be defeated by the most ordinary Legends. Unless the gods belong to a certain god organization, then it would be more challenging.

In the vast Void Zone, amid millions of dimensions, if one were to wonder which existence was the most widespread, it was undoubtedly the gods!

This was because the gods were born gradually following the birth of a dimension. They were nurtured by the dimensions as the master of all living creatures. Almost every foreign tribe had experienced an era of being ruled by the gods.

Whether it was the Giant Tribe, Tree Tribe or Rock Tribe as well as the Spell Caster civilization, it was only after getting rid of the rule of the gods that they were able to enter the Void Zone, and achieve rapid advancement.

At the same time, the gods began to feel threatened, so some of the dimension gods began to leave their own dimension voluntarily, and exchange experiences with the nearby gods. They had also united together, and formed god organizations.

Upon forming the god organizations, they became a fearsome force. The god organizations were ruled top-down and adhered to a very strict hierarchy. They were divided into lower rank gods, middle rank gods, upper rank gods, and the most divine lord god.

The founder of every god organization was known as the lord god. These lord gods might even be comparable to the Ultimate Arcane Wizards. A god organization might encompass hundreds and thousands of dimensions due to the great number of gods. Moreover, the gods from the same god organization had some special connection that could surpass time and space in the Void Zone. Two gods from the same god organization could also join forces, and increase their powers several folds.

This was the benefit of a god organization!

Following the rise of more and more foreign tribes venturing into the Void Zone, the gods began to feel threatened. The eight largest god organizations had formed a God Alliance. Consequently, this alliance had become the indisputable top faction of the entire Void Zone.

Nevertheless, the God Alliance was very widely scattered as it spanned hundreds of thousands or even millions of dimensions. Moreover, it was composed of several god organizations, which were not completely in harmony with one another. Therefore, the God Alliance would only unite in times of crisis. Otherwise, they were usually autonomous.

Precisely for this reason, the God Alliance was not able to expand.

According to the founding principles of the God Alliance, new gods that were born in every dimension would automatically become a member of the God Alliance. If any civilization killed the gods, they would become enemies of the God Alliance. However, this had become nothing but an empty threat. Upon encountering weak gods who were born in a dimension, many of the powerful foreign tribes would simply kill them.

The open territory was a long distance away from the core of the God Alliance, and there was almost no representation of the God Alliance faction. Therefore, even if the dimensions here gave birth to a god, there was no need to be afraid as it would be a very weak god.

Hence, despite hearing that there was a godly aura in this dimension, Alcra still appeared excited to explore the Saitu Dimension.

"Wizard Merlin, even if there's a god controlling this dimension, the aura is so weak. We don't have to be afraid, and we'll be able to escape anyway."

After listening to Alcra's reasoning, Merlin deliberated for a moment and nodded. "Very well but we must be more careful. The god here is a little weird. Besides the god's aura, I can also sense some Spell Casters' aura…"

This was the main reason why Merlin dared to enter this dimension as he had sensed the aura of Spell Casters. The Spell Casters and the gods were natural enemies because the Spell Casters would not believe in any gods whereas the gods would not tolerate anyone resisting their divinity.

Therefore, having the aura of Spell Casters in this dimension proved that, for some reason, the god had not become so powerful as to control the entire dimension.

Thus, the two of them quickly flew toward the Saitu Dimension.With a head of long blond hair, wearing the most expensive golden silk Wizard robes, a valuable magic staff in hand, handsome looks, and the fact that he was already a Ninth-level Spell Caster at the age of thirty, Paul was a highly enviable prodigy Wizard in the entire Holy City.

However, at this time, Paul was leading exactly a hundred young Wizards who were below the Seventh-level but none of them was older than twenty years old. According to the instructions of the Holy City Teacher, these Wizards would be the last seeds of the Spell Casters of Holy City. They would be led by Paul as the most gifted Wizard, to a secret place. This was in order to preserve the seed of the Spell Casters as their last legacy.

Paul turned back, and gazed at Holy City behind him. He looked at the Wizard Tower soaring into the sky, the dense Runic Magic Circles, and the twenty over Great Wizards floating in the sky. They represented almost the strongest force of the Spell Casters.

This was the final battle between the Spell Casters and the Church of Demon. The staunch believers of the Church of Demon had always declared that the evil Demon God Vauna would be completely awakened.

Therefore, before the final battle, the twenty over Great Wizards of Holy City unanimously decided that the most gifted Paul would lead a hundred of the most talented Spell Casters to leave Holy City as well as the final battle, and find a secret place to hide.

If Holy City had won the final battle, then there was no doubt that the Spell Casters would usher in a new era of development, and become the master of this world. On the contrary, if they had lost, then this group of Wizards would become the last remaining legacy of the Spell Casters, which was of great significance.

Regardless, Paul was unwilling to leave like this. He wanted to stay in Holy City. As a young Ninth-level Spell Caster, his abilities were quite powerful.

"Abhorrent Church of Demon. Teacher Anna, you must stay safe!"

Although Paul was furious, and desired to remain in Holy City, he did not dare disobey his teacher's orders. Moreover, he also understood the significance of the task given to him.

Behind him, the eyes of those one hundred young Wizards clearly revealed feelings of confusion and terror. They did not know what to do in the future, so they were counting on Paul to lead them. This was also the crucial reason why the Great Wizards of Holy City had selected Paul.

"Dear Wizards, Holy City is now preparing for the final battle with the evil Church of Demon. The situation is highly critical, so we shoulder the important responsibility of continuing the legacy of Spell Casters. Hence, there's no room for mistakes. From this day onward, you must follow my orders!"

The moment Paul's voice fell, many of the young Wizards showed a look of horror. Although they were all prodigy Wizards, they had been nurtured systematically in Holy City, and rarely went out to experience real combat. They were considered greenhouse flowers who had never experienced a storm.

"Wizard Paul, will Holy City be able to defeat the Church of Demon?"

This was a question that most of the Wizards wanted to ask.

Paul held the magic staff in a deathly grip. He really wanted to tell them the truth, that in this final battle, the winning chances of Holy City was very slim. However, he did not want these young Wizards to be discouraged. After all, this was the kindling of the Spell Casters.

So, Paul took a deep breath and said in a firm voice, "Yes, we'll definitely win. In addition, the Great Legend Saitu hasn't returned. He'll definitely come back and help us defeat the evil Demon!"

Upon mention of Legend Saitu, these young Wizards' eyes revealed a glimmer of hope. It was Legend Saitu who came from beyond the heavens, and saved everyone from the rule of the evil Demon God. He had also passed down a lot of knowledge, allowing the fragile Normies to possess powerful abilities and become powerful Wizards!

"Hoo…"

A gentle breeze blew, and everyone felt a tinge of chill. Paul was just about to lead the Wizards away when he saw that the young Wizards were standing rooted to their spots with a calm expression on their faces.

"Don't be afraid…"

A stranger's voice spoke. Paul turned around sharply, and saw that two strangers had appeared behind him. One of them was emitting obvious elemental fluctuations. He was a Spell Caster.

On the other hand, the other being looked quite terrifying. His entire body seemed to exude an emerald glow, and did not even resemble a "person".

Of course, these two were Merlin and Alcra who had entered the Saitu Dimension. When they had entered this dimension, they immediately noticed numerous Spell Casters in direct confrontation with some believers carrying a godly aura. It seemed like a huge battle was imminent.

Seeing such a tense and complicated situation, naturally, Merlin and Alcra could not rush into the situation. They could sense that the dimension's Elemental Origin was being controlled, probably by this god with a seemingly weak aura.

In order to gain an understanding of this god, Merlin was looking for someone to ask. Finally, he spotted Paul's unusual group of Wizards. According to Merlin's evaluation, he was of course, able to see that this group of Wizards led by Paul had good Spell Caster Qualities, and were very young. It was not difficult to infer that the Spell Casters had made their worst-case scenario plans.

Therefore, Merlin wielded a Hallucinating spell, causing the one hundred Wizards to silently fall into an illusion. This was an easy task for the current Merlin.

He only excluded Paul, the Ninth-level prodigy Wizard, so he should be able to understand quite a bit.

"Who are you? What have you done to my Wizards?"

Paul immediately became cautious but he did not attack. The fact that someone was able to control so many Wizards, and without his realization at that, stunned him to the core. It was simply unheard of.

"Don't be afraid, I'm only making them quiet down temporarily. They won't be in danger. As for our identities…"

Merlin paused. Since there were Spell Casters in this dimension, and were in confrontation with the believers of the god, Merlin had his next words well thought out. With a solemn expression, he said, "We come from beyond the heavens, bearing Teacher Saitu's instructions, to come to this dimension!"

"Legend Saitu? You… Both of you are Legend Saitu's disciples?"

A massive storm rippled through Paul's heart. He stared at Merlin with disbelief!

Chapter 601: The Rebellion of Destiny!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

"No, this is my friend. I'm Legend Saitu's disciple. I have the dimension coordinates that he left behind, so I rushed here. So, what happened here?"

Merlin "confidently" made up his identity as Wizard Saitu's disciple. Since this dimension did not Wizard Saitu's mind imprint, and it would be impossible for Wizard Saitu to give up this dimension voluntarily, there was only one possibility, which was that Wizard Saitu was dead. Therefore, there was no one to expose Merlin's bluff.

"We're saved, Holy City is saved, the Great Legend Saitu did not forget us…"

Wizard Paul's expression was very excited.

"So, what's happening?"

Merlin continued to ask.

"Please, come with me. Let's hurry into Holy City and tell Teacher Anna this good news!"

Subsequently, Paul arranged for a young Wizard to lead the group to leave Holy City whereas he hurriedly led Merlin and Alcra toward Holy City.

Along the way, Paul also gave an overview of the current situation. Holy City was established as a result of Wizard Saitu passing down the knowledge of Spell Casters. Slowly, it was built by countless Spell Casters, and became the holy ground for Spell Casters in the entire dimension.

Being able to enter Holy City was the pride of all Spell Casters!

However, a thousand years after Wizard Saitu had disappeared without a trace, some turbulence began to appear in the dimension. Some people actually returned to worship the Demon God Vauna, and formed the Church of Demon.

In the beginning, the Church of Demon was relatively weak and in hiding. Thereafter, the Church of Demon declared that the Demon God Vauna had awakened. Moreover, the staunchest believers were able to communicate with the Demon God Vauna, and possessed mighty powers. Thus, the Church of Demon began to grow in number.

Thus, the war between the two sides continued for over a thousand years. Although the Spell Casters continued to produce a succession of talents, the increasing number of believers in the Demon God Vauna had enabled the Church of Demon to grow stronger.

According to legend, the Demon God Vauna was suppressed by Wizard Saitu. However, if there was a strong enough belief, he would be slowly awakened. Once he was completely awakened, then the entire world would be plunged into a disaster of mass proportions, and the prosperous Spell Caster civilization would be wiped out.

Therefore, every Spell Caster was told from an early age that the Church of Demon must be destroyed in order to kill the Demon God permanently. Alas, matters did not go according to plan. After a thousand-year war, the situation began to worsen. The Church of Demon began to gain an upper hand and even gradually conquered nearer and nearer to the core of the Spell Casters, namely Holy City.

Moreover, it was rumored among the Church of Demon that the Demon God Vauna would be completely awakened. When that occurred, the entire dimension would return to its ignorant and dark era, and everyone would be turned into Demon God Vauna's slaves.

In light of this, the twenty over Great Wizards of Holy City decided to gather their strongest force, and wage a final battle with the Church of Demon. Nonetheless, they also knew that the chances of winning were close to none…

Merlin and Alcra were listening carefully, a thrilling look appeared on their faces. The god in this dimension was really suppressed, it was not surprising that his aura was so faint.

However, a thousand years had passed, and throughout this thousand-year war, the Demon God Vauna might have recovered considerably. If he was able to break through Legend Saitu's suppression, then it would be highly troublesome.

Soon, Paul led Merlin and Alcra back into Holy City. At this moment, Holy City was exceptionally silent. There were no Normies in Holy City only Spell Casters, and most of them were the elites of Spell Casters in this world.

In order to enter Holy City, one had to be at least a Fourth-level Spell Caster and above. Right now, there were around two hundred thousand Spell Casters standing outside Holy City, confronting the Church of Demon.

The city was tightly packed with Spell Casters. In the air above them, twenty over Great Wizards hovered in the air. The ground, on the other hand, was densely carved with innumerable Runic Magic Circles. Many of the Spell Casters' gazes were filled with apprehension yet they stood firmly outside the city.

All of them knew that the thousand-year war was finally coming to an end. This was the final battle!

"Hum."

Across from the Spell Casters, amid the Church of Demon, a brilliant white light shot up into the sky and enveloped all the believers. Following that, the eyes of these believers gleamed with feverish zealousness, and their faiths became even more staunch.

This was the Demon God's ray. From this ray of light, the god's aura could be clearly felt. This also meant that Vauna, the god of this dimension, indeed existed.

After the appearance of the Demon God's ray, the Church of Demon's believers grew confident. A believer in a black robe flew high up into the air, and spoke to the Spell Casters, "Ye fallen Spell Casters, you have forsaken the worship of God, but God is gracious. As long as you believe in him, the almighty God will forgive your sins."

"Hoo…" A gentle breeze blew at everyone's faces, containing a hint of chill. The numerous Spell Casters looked toward the twenty over powerful Great Wizards in the sky.

Soon, a white-robed Wizard stepped forward and smirked. "God? More like an evil Demon. A few thousand years ago, he enslaved all of us. He enslaved not just our bodies but also our minds. Fortunately, the Great Legend Saitu came from beyond the heavens, and suppressed the Demon. He imparted knowledge to us so that we may have the power to resist the Demon. We're Spell Casters. Our hearts are pure, and we march for freedom. We derive power from our knowledge instead of selling our souls to become the Demon's slaves!

"Right now, we'll gather all our powers to destroy the Demon and restore freedom in this kingdom. We're noble Spell Casters, we'll never be a Demon's slave!"

As his voice fell, numerous Spell Casters seemed to be moved. In unison, they shouted, "We won't be a Demon's slave!"

Their voices were magnificent and reverberated in the air unendingly for a long time.

From a distance, Merlin and Alcra also witnessed such a scene. This was Merlin's first time seeing a confrontation between the Spell Casters and the gods. He could not help but recall some of the incomplete tomes back in the Kingdom of Blackmoon.

In it, they described the beginning of Spell Casters. When the Glorious Land still had many powerful gods, the Spell Casters endured a difficult existence but they never gave up. Every Spell Caster made it their ultimate goal to exile the gods from the Glorious Land and restore freedom once again.

That time was the most challenging period for the Spell Caster but it was also the most united time for the Spell Casters. This was because all the Spell Casters were fighting for a common goal.

Finally, the weak Spell Casters flourished amid the hardships of war. They suppressed, killed, and exiled countless gods, and became a great civilization that eventually entered the Void Zone!

For many weak civilizations, their first hurdle was to rebel against the gods. Whether it was the Rock Tribe, Tree Tribe, Giant Tribe or any other powerful foreign tribe civilizations, the first step toward progress was to escape the slavery of the gods, restore freedom, and take control of their own destinies.

This was not a mere rebellion against the gods but also a rebellion against destiny!

Alcra was also slightly touched. "This brings me back… Wizard Merlin, perhaps you don't have such memories but I do. I'm a second-generation Tree Folk that was split from the Mother Tree, so I share some memories with the Mother Tree! At that time, the Mother Tree was still weak but had already managed to split into many Tree Folks. In our hometown, there was a powerful god that had enslaved us. The Mother Tree led us and fought for eight thousand years. Evolving from weak to strong, step by step, there were countless Tree Folks who died.

"However, in the end, we managed to exile the gods, and the Tree Folks had a stable kingdom since. Then, we set foot into the Void Zone, and gradually got stronger… The Tree Tribe, as well as the Spell Caster civilization, are very fortunate because we managed to rebel against destiny and won. However, in the vast Void Zone and its endless dimensions, there are many more civilizations that have failed to rebel against the gods and their destinies…"

Merlin was silent. His heart was greatly touched. In the tomes, he only saw a description of words but it could never compare to witnessing it with his own eyes. He seemed to "see" the Glorious Land back in its trying times when countless Spell Casters continuously rebelled against the mighty gods.

"A rebellion against destiny… Indeed, this is a rebellion of destiny!"

Merlin's emotions were stirred. He shut his eyes gently, and his Mind Power automatically began to extend and spread out in all directions. All the Spell Casters who encountered Merlin's Mind Power not only did not sense any irregularity but became very peaceful and determined.

This kind of emotion seemed to be contagious. Under the effect of Merlin's Mind Power, more and more Spell Casters began to calm down.

Merlin, on the other hand, finally experienced a breakthrough in his Hallucinating spell. Without any warning, his Hallucinating spell broke through and achieved the third step. Now, even the most preeminent Great Wizards would be trapped by Merlin's Hallucinating spells.

The third step of Hallucinating spells was just immediately below the Illusory Heart realm. Therefore, this was an extremely important milestone. Despite Merlin's exchanges with Titus for a long time, he could not find the breakthrough point.

It was at this moment, looking at the scene before him, that Merlin's heart was greatly affected! These Spell Casters rebelling against the gods were in fact, rebelling against their destinies. This gave Merlin a huge revelation, thus allowing his Hallucinating spells to experience a breakthrough.

The powerful Hallucinating spells allowed Merlin to use his Mind Power to soothe the Spell Casters' anxious emotions so that they would feel more peaceful and more determined. This bore a close resemblance of the Illusory Heart realm.

The second stage of Titus' Hallucinating spell realm was the Illusory Heart, which was able to control minds silently and undetected. This was a truly fearsome ability which fully reflected the impressiveness of Mind Power Masters.

Alcra did not notice the change in Merlin. He was watching the believers from the Church of Demon closely.

At this time, the Church of Demon's believers seemed to be chanting something and chorused in unison. Strands of faith, visible to the naked eye, projected into the air.

"Boom."

In the empty sky, a horrible power seemed to awaken. A celestial-like aura descended upon everyone.

Even the Elemental Origin appeared to shift in an instant like it was being forcefully plundered by a mysterious power.

The Elemental Origin had been seized!

"Not good, the dimension god has awakened…"

Alcra's face turned pale. He had met many gods, and was very well-versed about them. Such a situation clearly showed that a god was awakening, and even the Elemental Origin was controlled.

Not only Alcra knew that the god had awakened. The twenty over Great Wizards in the air also felt the vibration in the air as well as the celestial aura that exuded a suffocating power. A look of despair appeared in their eyes.

"He has awakened… The Demon God Vauna has finally awakened!"

"Once the Demon God Vauna is awakened, Holy City will cease to exist. I'm afraid even the Spell Casters will not be able to escape certain doom."

"The world will soon be destroyed. The darkest era is upon us. This time, Legend Saitu will not come and save us anymore…"

All the Great Wizards knew what the Demon God Vauna intended to do. Although the final battle had yet to begin, they were already defeated, and a complete defeat too.

"Hahahaha, I have finally broken through imprisonment. Damn Saitu, you bound me for a few thousand years but still, I've been set free! Haha, I'll kill all the despicable Spell Casters that you left behind, and destroy your legacy so that no one in this world will know of the existence of Spell Casters. Haha, I'm free…"

An incomparably huge figure slowly coalesced under the zealous gazes of countless staunch believers. He was even seated on a huge golden throne, majestic and powerful!

The terrifying Demon God Vauna finally reappeared, and vowed to destroy all the Spell Casters and erase all traces of their existence. This was his revenge toward Legend Saitu.

"Wizard Merlin, we better leave now. Although this god had just broken free, he has accumulated a thousand years' worth of the power of faith, and could rival a Great Legend. We're not worthy opponents."

Alcra glanced at Merlin beside him.

"Hum hum hum."

Merlin, who was immersed in the "understanding" of Hallucinating spells, felt a strong vibration from his spatial ring. Inside, an ancient round disc was stirring up the spatial ring, and shook Merlin out of his rumination.

"The God-Binding Disc?"

Merlin woke up from his rumination, and raised his head. He saw the incredible sight of the Demon God Vauna reveling in his joy of being "set free"!

Chapter 602: The God-Binding Disc's Suppression!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

"Haha, I'm finally free… The magnificent world of freedom, I'm back… Everyone will become my believers! First, I'll destroy Holy City, and destroy every trace of that despicable Saitu!"

The Demon God Vauna was seated on the golden throne, his voice echoing in the air, laughing freely.

After so many years, he had spent every day waiting for this moment. Now, he was finally set free, and vowed to wipe out every trace of Spell Casters.

"Almighty God, your light guides your faithful believers forever!"

Seeing the majestic figure seated on the golden throne, the Church of Demon's believers became even more zealous than before. Their chanting continued, filling the entire dimension.

At this moment, almost all the believers of the Church of Demon were strengthened in their faith. Multiple strands of powers of faith began to gather from all directions, flying directly into Demon God Vauna's body.

These powers of faith were swiftly transformed into divinity, allowing Demon God Vauna to feel energized. His gaze locked upon Holy City far away, and a look of cruelty filled his eyes.

"Boom."

Demon God Vauna stood up suddenly, his majestic body full of destructive powers. Even the Great Wizards hovering in the air felt suffocated. Such powers were completely beyond their resistance.

"Destroy!"

Demon God Vauna stretched out a finger and prepared to press down. However, at this moment, a crisp sound sliced through the air. From Holy City, an ancient round disc flew out mightily.

The ancient round disc grew bigger as it soared through the air. When it was in the middle of the sky, its size had expanded to cover the sun and the sky. In the middle of the round disc, there was an inscription of the word "Bind" in the Moltan language.

"Bind!"

The huge "Bind" word suddenly flew out, and grew bigger. Then, like a large net, it swiftly covered Demon God Vauna. Simultaneously, Demon God Vauna's face shifted drastically. All the divinity in his body seemed to be triggered at once, and began to burn wildly.

"Eh? What's this nonsense? Why is it able to suppress me? No, I'm an almighty God, the master of the dimension…"

Demon God Vauna released a tortured screech. He would never have thought in his wildest dreams, that his divinity would not only be useless but instead quicken his destruction. The huge "Bind" word had covered Demon God Vauna like a large net, and trapped him within. Demon God Vauna's divinity started to burn fiercely, causing him to screech uncontrollably.

Following that, Demon God Vauna was forcefully dragged into the huge ancient disc.

"Thump."

The round disc closed shut, and rapidly shrunk. Then, it flew into the hands of the two strangers flying from Holy City.

Just like that, Demon God Vauna was suppressed once again, and squashed into a strange ancient disc. All these abrupt changes threw everyone into a disconcerted, disbelieving state.

The entire Holy City, as well as the Church of Demon's believers, were completely dumbstruck. Their almighty god was suppressed just like that? Earlier, he seemed like an omnipotent god that could destroy the entire world, but now, he had disappeared without a trace.

"Swish."

It was Paul who first flew in front of the twenty over Great Wizards. Excitedly, he said to a wrinkly but kind-looking female Wizard, "Teacher Anna, I'm back. I also brought with me Great Legend Saitu's disciple. Legend Saitu did not abandon us, he still cares for us. This is Wizard Merlin. It was he who re-suppressed Demon God Vauna earlier!"

Paul's tone clearly revealed his excitement. In the eyes of all the Spell Casters in this dimension, Wizard Saitu was supreme and capable of accomplishing anything.

The idea that his disciple had come to suppress Demon God Vauna was something they were able to accept in stride.

Wizard Anna and the other Great Wizards looked at Merlin with eagerness. Their hopes for Legend Saitu to intervene had finally been fulfilled. Although Legend Saitu did not come in person, he had sent his disciple who had suppressed Demon God Vauna, thus preventing their world from falling to its darkest era.

"Wizard Merlin, we're truly grateful to Legend Saitu for sending you to save us. You have prevented us from plunging into the darkest era. Where's Legend Saitu? Why didn't he return?"

Wizard Anna's words represented the thoughts of many other Great Wizards.

Merlin shook his head and said, "Teacher Saitu is dead. I only discovered the coordinates of this dimension when I was sorting through his belongings, so I came here in a hurry. Fortunately, I was not too late!"

Merlin was still a little shaken. The completed God-Binding Disc was quite ineffective toward an ordinary Legend yet it held some sort of suppressive power over the gods. Even Demon God Vauna, who was comparable to a Great Legend, could be easily suppressed into the God-Binding Disc.

Faced with Wizard Anna's probing, Merlin cleverly made up another lie. This was to avoid any future complications. Once he had established that Saitu was dead, added with the fact that he had suppressed Demon God Vauna, his identity as Legend Saitu's disciple was rock-solid. No one would doubt him.

This would be of utmost benefit for Merlin and Alcra to take control of this dimension.

"Dead? How could a Great Legend die?"

All the Great Wizards revealed looks of incredulity on their faces, some of them filled with disbelief.

Merlin shook his head in despair. "It's a long story, but right now, aren't we in a final battle? Although Demon God Vauna has been suppressed, the Church of Demon still exists. We need to defeat the Church of Demon so that Demon God Vauna will never be free again!"

"You're right, defeat the Church of Demon first!"

All the Great Wizards were reminded with a jolt. Although Demon God Vauna had been suppressed, it was not yet time to let down their guard. Before them still stood the Church of Demon, which had large numbers and powerful abilities.

At this moment, the Church of Demon's believers also seemed to recollect their wits, and their expressions turned frenzied.

"All of god's most faithful believers, right now our god has encountered some difficulties. He was trapped by the despicable Spell Casters using lowly tricks. We need to contribute our strength, and defeat these despicable Spell Casters so that we can save the almighty god!"

"Boom."

The moment his voice fell, legendary powers of faith were emitted from the bodies of countless believers. It gradually gathered and formed an impressive force.

The Spell Casters outside Holy City wore a solemn expression. This was the final battle. Even without Demon God Vauna, they were still at a disadvantage, so this was fated to be a tragic battle.

"The Church of Demon's force is mostly constituted of fanatic believers. Not only do we have to defeat them but we also cannot let anyone escape. So, I'd have to ask my friend to lend a hand!"

Merlin turned his gaze to Alcra, and smiled.

Suddenly, all the Great Wizards realized that beside Merlin, there was a unique-looking being. His entire body was lush emerald green, and did not appear to have any elemental fluctuations.

Alcra nodded, naturally understanding Merlin's insinuation. Initially, he was quite worried about the terrifying Demon God Vauna but he did not expect that Merlin had such a powerful casting tool. Alcra did not know why Merlin did not use it in the Inceptive Dimension but this was Merlin's secret, so Alcra would not ask.

"Boom."

Alcra stepped into the air, and swiftly revealed his true form, which was a huge tree sprawling into the clouds. His massive canopy stretched out and covered almost a few hundred miles. It was truly breathtaking.

Almost everyone's gaze was transfixed on Alcra. They had never seen such an astonishing sight.

"Wizard Merlin, this is…"

Merlin looked at the incomparably shocked Wizards and smiled. "Please don't worry. As you may know, outside this world is vast and endless darkness. This sea of darkness is called the Void Zone. It contains countless foreign tribes that are completely different from the Spell Casters. Some of them are friendly, and some of them are wicked. Alcra is a friend of mine. He's a friendly Tree Folk who came with me to save all of you, and help exile the Demon God!"

Wizard Anna seemed to hold a lot of weight among this group of Great Wizards. Upon listening to Merlin's explanation, Great Wizard Anna's eyes shone and whispered, "So the darkness outside our world is called the Void Zone! After Legend Saitu's disappearance, there were some Wizards who left Holy City and entered the endless Void Zone, but no one has ever returned…"

Merlin nodded darkly in his heart. Ordinarily, Great Wizards were capable of leaving the dimension, but this was the open territory. In other words, it was the most dangerous territory. There were countless foreign tribe civilizations. Even Merlin and Alcra encountered several foreign tribe attacks on their way here, what more the Great Wizards who departed from this dimension?

Perhaps the reason they never returned was that they had encountered foreign tribes in the open territory, and were killed. It could only be attributed to their misfortune of being situated in the open territory. If they were situated within the Spell Caster civilization's sphere of influence or in any of the less chaotic territories, this dimension could have gained an understanding of the outside world, and slowly entered the Void Zone.

However, their lack of understanding of the outside would make it easier for Merlin and Alcra to control the dimension.

Alcra had revealed his true form. Thick strands of root network swiftly blocked the sky, one ring after another, causing the Church of Demon's believers to be securely imprisoned within the rings of Alcra's root networks.

The Church of Demon's believers released their attacks in unison. Multiple rays of white light with a scorching sensation landed on Alcra's root network. Nevertheless, despite losing his nine Tree Saplings, Alcra was still at least comparable to a preeminent Great Wizard, so those attacks could not harm him.

Therefore, those attacks were completely useless against Alcra.

At this moment, Merlin stepped forward, and took a deep breath. Then, a huge Mind Power descended silently and invisibly, like a nightmare, and enveloped a majority of the Church of Demon's believers.

Instantly, the Hallucinating spell that recently achieved the third step trapped the Church of Demon's believers in an illusion. One by one, they quietened down, like dim-witted persons.

Seeing this scene unfold, all the Spell Casters outside Holy City were stunned. Their gazes toward Merlin turned even more awestruck.

"With such amazing abilities, it's not surprising that you're Legend Saitu's disciple. In this final battle, we won't lose Spell Casters anymore!"

A smile appeared on Wizard Anna's face. Then, she waved her hand gently. In an instant, the numerous Spell Casters who were waiting outside Holy City rushed toward the countless Church of Demon's believers.

The dreaded final battle instantly turned into a one-sided massacre. With Alcra's imprisonment, none of the Church of Demon's believers could escape, so the outcome was secured.

This world would once again return into the hands of the Spell Casters!

Chapter 603: Honesty

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

"Merlin, your Hallucinating spell has gotten much stronger. I'm afraid even I'm no longer your worthy opponent."

It was Alcra who spoke. He had revealed his true form, and imprisoned the Church of Demon's believers. Since those believers were completely unable to break through his binding, he was able to shift his attention to converse with Merlin.

When he saw that Merlin's Hallucinating spell was able to trap even the most zealous believers in an illusion, Alcra's heart was astonished because he knew that Merlin had become more powerful. Even before Merlin's Hallucinating spell was strengthened, it was able to affect him. Now that the Hallucinating spell was strengthened, it would not merely affect him.

This was the fearsomeness of Mind Power Masters. Nevertheless, the number of Mind Power Masters was very few among the Spell Casters, not to mention those who were able to achieve Merlin's level of accomplishment. The third step of Hallucinating spells, according to Merlin's knowledge, was only ever achieved by the Blackfire Lord and Titus. Meanwhile, Titus had achieved the Illusory Heart, and was beginning to consolidate the Illusory World.

Compared to Ossais from before, although he was also a top Mind Power Master, the Nine Hit Strike that he had constructed had deviated from the Mind Power system. Even if he continued to explore further, it would be a dead-end road, and would not be compatible with the system developed by Titus.

As for Merlin's talent in Mind Power, it was not really remarkable. He had a smidge of talent but it was the various opportunities that he had encountered which now allowed him to stand at the peak of almost all other Mind Power Masters.

Upon achieving the third step of Hallucinating spells, Merlin would soon begin to pursue the Illusory Heart so that he could catch up to Titus. It was only upon achieving the Illusory Heart that he could rival a Great Legend, and be considered to have perfected the preliminary stage of the Mind Power system.

Merlin smiled but did not explain. His Hallucinating spell had achieved the third step. In addition, he had become an Eighth-level Spell Caster, so his combined abilities, of course, improved to a new threshold. He was no longer inferior to those mightiest existences below a Legend.

"Merlin, the outcome has been determined. The Church of Demon will no longer be able to cause a storm! However, I still can't control the Dimension Core. Although you've suppressed Demon God Vauna, the Dimension Core is still under his control. Unless he dies, we'll never be able to control the Dimension Core!"

Alcra said with a grave tone. Merlin also knew that they were not Great Legends, so they could not forcibly plunder the Elemental Origin. This dimension was not an Inceptive Dimension.

Therefore, only by killing Demon God Vauna who was controlling the Elemental Origin, they would have a chance of controlling this dimension.

However, after Demon God Vauna had been suppressed in the God-Binding Disc, Merlin did not know what happened. He was prepared to solve the problem which was the Church of Demon first, before carefully inspecting Demon God Vauna in the God-Binding Disc.

With Merlin's Hallucinating spell as well as the countless number of Spell Casters, the one-sided massacre ended very soon. The ones who were gathered here were Demon God Vauna's staunch believers so it was impossible for them to discard their beliefs. Hence, none of them could be spared.

Fortunately, Alcra was there to surround the entire area, so none of the believers were able to escape.

The blood stench of hundreds of thousands of believers wafted into the air. The resulting huge volume of negative energy affected even the Spell Casters with Mind Power. Meanwhile, Darkness Eye in Merlin's palm seemed to have found a delicacy, and was madly absorbing the negative energy.

Although Merlin did not know if and how Darkness Eye could level up to its seventh form, he allowed Darkness Eye to absorb all types of negative energy it wanted. Perhaps, some extraordinary changes would take place.

Soon, after three days, the battle drew to a close. The Spell Casters secured a huge victory, and the numerous Spell Casters returned to Holy City. Due to Merlin and Alcra's special statuses, they were invited by the twenty-three Great Wizards into Holy City's discussion hall.

"Wizard Merlin, you mentioned before that the Great Legend Saitu is dead. What happened? How could it be possible for Legend Saitu to die?"

Upon entering the discussion hall, Teacher Anna could not hold back and ask urgently. All the other Great Wizards present also nodded their head, and fixed their gazes on Merlin. In their perspective, Legend Saitu was an "all-powerful" being. He came from the endless darkness outside, suppressed evil Demon God Vauna, saved them from the Demon's slavery, and even imparted knowledge to enable them to master the same power.

Such emotions could not possibly be comprehended by anyone who had not experienced it themselves. Most of these Great Wizards were the first batch of Wizards who had received knowledge from Legend Saitu after he descended, so they held a deep sense of gratitude toward him.

"This issue is slightly more complicated."

Merlin deliberated for a moment, countless thoughts running through his head. This dimension was a dimension that Wizard Saitu had nurtured for a long time. Just by observing the fact that they had managed to produce twenty-three Great Wizards, showed how deep the foundation had been.

Previously, Merlin had thought of controlling a dimension but he never really considered properly of what would happen after he had controlled it? After he saw the Spell Casters rebelling against destiny, and his Hallucinating spell improved, he now had a new idea. He wanted to use the Saitu Dimension as his foundation, then gradually expand his influence and control more dimensions!

As a master of a dimension, though he would not be able to absorb the power of worship like the gods, if the dimension produced more and more powerful Wizards, the entire dimension would be inconspicuously strengthened and produce a "reverse feeding" phenomenon for the master. The process of consolidating a Maxim, among others, would be easier.

This was the main reason why most of the Great Legends wanted to occupy more dimensions. The plunderers were short-sighted Wizards because they only thought of plundering the Elemental Origins, and quickly consolidate a Maxim in the shortest time possible. However, from a long-term perspective, this was merely a short-term gratification, and would destroy the foundations of the Spell Caster civilization, so it was completely unforgivable.

The "reverse feeding" phenomenon was something that even the Ultimate Arcane Wizards could not understand yet it existed as true as the day is long. In fact, Merlin suspected that the reason he could grasp the Spell Casters' rebellion against destiny so smoothly, and break through his Hallucinating spell was related to the "reverse feeding" of the dimension.

"If I want to nurture this dimension properly and expand it, I have to be honest!"

Immediately, Merlin decided in his heart. Of course, the part about him pretending to be Legend Saitu's disciple was not included. Moreover, when he first received the dimension coordinates from Legend Saitu, it was to some extent, intended to be given to him. So, he could be considered half a disciple.

Merlin did not have to be honest about his identity but he must be honest with them about the outside world and the Spell Caster civilization. This was because in the future, these Great Wizards would leave the dimension. If they had the opportunity to return, they would know the truth.

"Respectable Wizards!"

Merlin raised his head, and swept his gaze across the Great Wizards. Then, he continued slowly. "You may already know that outside this world is endless darkness, and many Great Wizards had left here to enter the endless darkness but never made it back. However, you must know that this world of yours is only a single dimension. In the endless darkness which we call the Void Zone, there are as many dimensions as grains of sand.

"In the Void Zone, we're the powerful Spell Caster civilization, and Legend Saitu was also a member of the Spell Caster civilization. Even for us Spell Casters, we gradually rose up from being enslaved by the gods to exile them, and eventually became a great civilization!"

Merlin explained the concepts of the Void Zone, foreign tribe civilizations, open territory, and many more in detail. For these Spell Casters, this information was eye-opening and astonishing. Back then, Legend Saitu only imparted to them the knowledge of Spell Casters. Perhaps, it was because they were still very weak, so he did not tell them the truth about the Void Zone.

After listening to Merlin's explanation, many Great Wizards were silently digesting the staggering amount of information shared with them.

After some time, Wizard Anna heaved a long sigh. "We've been living under a rock the entire time! We never knew that in the outside world, there's a powerful Spell Caster civilization! Wizard Merlin, I wonder if we're considered a part of the Spell Caster civilization?"

All the Great Wizards in the hall flashed a look of eagerness.

"Haha, of course you're a part of the Spell Caster civilization! Every Spell Caster is a part of the Spell Caster civilization. However, you're situated in the open territory. So, it's more complicated. The Spell Caster civilization's sphere of influence hasn't been able to expand to this region but if there are more dimensions controlled by Spell Casters, then one day, this region would automatically belong to the Spell Caster civilization!"

Merlin said with a smile. The open territory had so many foreign tribe civilizations but in reality, all of them were backed by their respective forces, each trying to seize control over part of or the entire open territory.

"Wizard Merlin, we're truly grateful for your honesty! We have been progressing for nearly two thousand years but never produced a Great Legend. The time that Legend Saitu spent in this dimension was very short, so we don't even know how to cultivate ourselves after becoming a Great Wizard. Will you be leaving soon?"

Merlin and Alcra exchanged a look. With all smiles, he replied, "We won't be leaving for a while. Moreover, I'll slowly develop the Saitu Dimension, and pass on the knowledge of Spell Casters. At least, I'll share with you everything I know about the Great Legends."

Becoming a Great Legend was contingent upon consolidating a Maxim. Although it seemed simple, it had stumped these Great Wizards for countless years. In fact, they almost thought that this was the limit of Spell Casters, and could not be surpassed.

However, following Merlin's arrival, they learned that above the Great Wizards, there were the Great Legends, and that they would have to consolidate a Maxim in order to become a Great Legend. Thus, they did not have to leave the dimension and explore the dangerous open territory anymore. Back then, the reason so many Great Wizards left the dimension was because they felt like they had reached a dead-end and could no longer level-up, so they left the dimension to explore if there were other opportunities.

However, they most probably died under the hands of those foreign tribe armies.

Great Wizard Anna asked Merlin many more questions, and naturally, they accepted Merlin and Alcra. The first step of Merlin's plan was successful.

"Alcra, the first step is successful, we have established our influence in this dimension. Next, we should be able to control the dimension. Nonetheless, we first must get rid of Demon God Vauna!

Merlin flipped his hand and retrieved the God-Binding Disc from his spatial ring. Two hostile gazes glared at the God-Binding Disc concurrently.

Chapter 604: The Ninth-level Mind Heart!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

This was Alcra's second time seeing the God-Binding Disc but this time was much less staggering than before. Currently, the God-Binding Disc looked like an ordinary round ancient plate.

Merlin gripped the God-Binding Disc gingerly, closed his eyes, and swiftly extended his Mind Power inside.

"Hum".

Merlin's Mind Power entered the space in the God-Binding Disc. It was incredibly spacious and filled with a unique power. At this time, Demon God Vauna was being suppressed inside the God-Binding Disc.

Demon God Vauna was howling in rage. On his body, there were layers upon layers of white light, like an unshakeable mountain, ruthlessly keeping him restrained. What made Merlin even more astonished was that the God-Binding Disc was extracting divinity from Demon God Vauna, little by little.

This was none other than divinity! Only the Great Honored Legends had such absolute power to plunder divinity from a living, ordinary god. Right now, however, the God-Binding Disc was not only able to suppress a god but also able to plunder his divinity. It was truly unbelievable.

Although Merlin knew that the God-Binding Disc was more effective against the gods, he would never have thought that the effects would be so pronounced. Demon God Vauna's godly powers appeared to be completely powerless before the God-Binding Disc. On the contrary, the God-Binding Disc was able to set the godly powers ablaze and cause terrible damage to the god.

It was not surprising that Wizard Bell was able to suppress so many gods back in the day. He truly deserved to be recognized as the number one alchemist of the Moltan Empire. The usefulness of the God-Binding Disc had far exceeded Merlin's imagination.

"Despicable Spell Caster, release me, and I'll forgive your sins!"

The struggling Demon God Vauna did not forget to "entice" Merlin. This was one of the unique techniques of the gods. Nevertheless, Merlin's Hallucinating spell had achieved the third step, so he was not someone who could be easily "enticed" by an ordinary god.

"Deprive!"

Merlin closed his eyes lightly, and mobilized the power of the God-Binding Disc to exert an even stronger suppression on Demon God Vauna. The rate of depriving the god's divinity increased considerably but it would still take some time before all of Demon God Vauna's divinity could be deprived.

Without his divinity, Demon God Vauna would be completely and unequivocally dead.

So, Merlin separated a strand of Mind Power, and explained to Alcra. "Alcra, I can handle Demon God Vauna but it would take at least a year to kill him for good. After one year, you should be able to control half of the Elemental Origin."

Alcra nodded, a look of excitement on his face. One meager year was nothing compared to the long-life Tree Folks.

Thus, he waited patiently beside Merlin.

With Alcra's protection, Merlin felt even more reassured. Divinity was something that was coveted even by the Great Honored Legends. Divinity had a myriad of uses, for example, if it was used to derive spells, then the line of thought would become exceptionally clear, and the efficiency would increase several folds.

Whereas if it was used to consolidate a Maxim, though success was not guaranteed, there would be definite benefits, and even the occasional inspiration. If it was used to increase Mind Power, then the results would be even more pronounced.

Basically, the benefits of divinity were bountiful. If anyone was injured, divinity would heal them immediately. It was divinity that gave the gods their powerful abilities as well as their immortality.

For the gods, divinity was both a blessing and a curse. This was because upon encountering a powerful opponent the level of an Honored Legend and above, they would not miss the opportunity to plunder divinity. Precisely for this reason, despite a large number of gods and the distance scattered between them, they were forced to join forces and form god organizations as well as the God Alliance.

Merlin had obtained divinity before but always in a small amount. He had never imagined that one day he would possess large quantities of divinity. However, the use of the God-Binding Disc appeared to suppress the gods and plunder their divinity.

Seeing the strands of divinity being plundered by the God-Binding Disc, Merlin was very excited. With so much divinity, his first thought was to strengthen his Mind Power. Once his Mind Power broke through and consolidated the Ninth-level Mind Heart, he would be able to forcibly mobilize the Illusory World.

When that happens, Merlin could even use the Illusory World to fight a Great Legend!

"Haha, apparently my Mind Heart is a very special Mind Heart, that improving it even slightly is so tedious. Now, with so much divinity, I'm not afraid!"

Merlin took a deep breath and soothed his excited emotions. Then, he began to use the divinity, and integrate it into his Mind Power.

Divinity was pure energy. Upon integration into Merlin's Mind Power, it swiftly transformed into bursts of Mind Power, completely pure without any impurities. It was able to transform into Merlin's own Mind Power, as natural as his arm controlled his thumb!

Such an effect pleased Merlin greatly. He felt his Mind Power improved steadily, to the point that he considered deliberating hunting down the gods.

However, these were mere ponderings by Merlin. He understood it was dangerous to rely on the God-Binding Disc alone. True, he did not have to fear the ordinary gods but the God-Binding Disc must have its inherent limitations as well. If he encountered a powerful god that could not be suppressed, Merlin would be in grave danger.

Only the Great Honored Legends had the ability to hunt down gods. Even then, the Great Honored Legends might encounter mighty opponents among the gods that were not inferior to them.

Worse, if one were to encounter a god from a god organization, then it would be troublesome.

Merlin's Mind Power had achieved the peak of the Eighth-level. According to ordinary circumstances, it might seem close to the Ninth-level. However, his was a unique Mind Heart. Even an ordinary Mind Heart would take several decades to bridge the gap.

If Merlin were to accumulate Mind Power the ordinary way, then he might never be able to break

through. Upon integrating the divinity, on the other hand, Merlin could feel his Mind Power increasing every day. In fact, even the bottleneck seemed to be loosening gradually.

One month, two months…

Half a year later, Merlin had been devoting his full attention to absorbing Demon God Vauna's divinity by almost half. Merlin's Mind Power had reached its limit, and following the continuous absorption, a huge burst of Mind Power exploded suddenly, like breaking through a dam.

"Boom!"

At this time, Merlin's mind was a blank slate. The sudden breakthrough of Mind Power made him feel like he was floating on cloud nine. Almost everything looked different to him. The Ninth-level Mind Heart was very unique because upon achieving the Ninth-level, there was no longer any standard of measurement.

Beyond the Ninth-level, there was no Great Wizard Mind Power or Legend Mind Power. This was because the Great Wizards and Great Legends would no longer cultivate Mind Power. Upon achieving the Ninth-level, there were no more bottlenecks, so the Mind Power journey would be smooth-sailing.

In other words, it was not that there was no Mind Power bottleneck but upon achieving the Ninth-level, very few could cultivate their Mind Power to the limit. Even Mind Power Masters among the Great Wizards rarely cultivate their Mind Power to the limit.

Even for the Blackfire Lord, his Mind Power continued to improve. This proved that after the Ninth-level, the Mind Power was like an ocean.

If below the Ninth-level, the Mind Heart was likened to a river. Then after the Ninth-level, the Mind Heart was like an ocean. The amount of Mind Power that could be accumulated was simply unimaginable.

At this stage, Mind Power strength was no longer the only measurement for a Mind Power Master. The greater need was enlightenment. No matter how strong the Mind Power was, it was impossible to achieve transformation. On the contrary, an enlightenment of the Illusory Heart realm would allow the Mind Power to achieve a slight transformation. Then, upon consolidating the Illusory World, the Mind Power would achieve another transformation.

According to the Mind Power system conceived by Titus, upon consolidating the Ninth-level Mind Heart, the amount of Mind Power no longer mattered. The point of focus was quality, so the Mind Power should undergo a qualitative transformation.

Achieving the Illusory Heart realm was the first step toward Mind Power transformation. This was because the Illusory Heart was comparable to a Great Legend, and perhaps might be even more formidable than a Great Legend. This was equivalent to breaking through the bindings endured by the Mind Power Masters over the years in the Spell Caster civilization. This was also the first transformation described by Titus.

In order for Mind Power to reverse the natural order, and turn illusion into reality, a step-by-step transformation was necessary. Then, in the end, it would be possible to reverse the natural order.

Titus' theory became more and more credible after Merlin broke through to the Ninth-level Mind Heart. It coincided with his own ideas, which strengthened his resolve to continue cultivating the Mind Power system according to Titus' theory.

Currently, Demon God Vauna in the God-Binding Disc was no longer as fierce as before. His entire body appeared to be translucent, and the divinity from his body had been considerably deprived. He could no longer control the Elemental Origin. In a few months' time, he would gradually be annihilated.

"I'm an almighty god. Even back then, Saitu did not kill me. I will not die, I will not die…"

Demon God Vauna was close to insane. Throughout this half a year, his divinity had been deprived little by little. He finally realized that this was different than when he was suppressed by Wizard Saitu. The last time, after being suppressed by Saitu, his divinity loss was very slow. Even if a few thousand years passed, he would not die.

Although Wizard Saitu was able to suppress Demon God Vauna, he was still not an Honored Legend, so he could not forcibly seize the god's divinity. He could only rely on time to slowly diminish the god's divinity until it was completely annihilated, which would take a very long time.

This time, it was different. With the God-Binding Disc suppressing the god, and slowly depriving its divinity, the most it would take was one year. Then, Demon God Vauna would be completely annihilated due to the loss of his divinity.

Merlin ignored the madness of Demon God Vauna. He left the God-Binding Disc, and saw the unmoving Alcra. Merlin smiled and said, "Alcra, right now, Demon God Vauna's control over the Elemental Orgin isn't the same as before. He has lost control over at least half of the Elemental Origin. Why don't you control this half of the Elemental Origin first, so that you can recover as soon as possible?"

Alcra put out his feelers, and sensed that Merlin was right. A glimmer of gratitude shone in his eyes, and he nodded. "In that case, I'll help myself!"

Immediately, Alcra transformed into a huge sprawling tree in the air, and his massive root network buried themselves in the air. Merlin could sense that Alcra was swiftly able to control about half of the Elemental Origin, and used it to nurture his nine Tree Saplings once again.

The nine Tree Saplings were the key to Alcra leveling up to become an upper rank Tree Folk. With the Elemental Origin, it would significantly shorten the time for him to nurture these nine Tree Saplings.

Seeing that Alcra had started nurturing his nine Tree Saplings once again, Merlin felt slightly relieved that he had shed a heavy burden. The death of the nine Tree Saplings caused considerable regret to Merlin, so if Alcra was able to reconsolidate the nine Tree Saplings, Merlin would feel completely assuaged.

"According to Titus, once I've achieved the Ninth-level Mind Power, I should be able to forcibly mobilize the Illusory World. Let me try."

Merlin flew into the air, his discerning eyes silently watching the huge Holy City below.

Chapter 605: Snatching a Dimension

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

In the sky up above, Merlin watched Holy City down below. There were Wizards coming in and out, and it was very lively.

Some were purchasing potion materials while others were studying runology, alchemy, and so on. Elsewhere, there were Wizards cracking their heads to derive new spells, and Wizards who were improving their battle tactics.

Merlin saw that Holy City was a progressive, developing city. This was an accurate reflection of the Saitu Dimension as a whole. The population of Holy City boomed to almost two hundred thousand people, all of them Spell Casters, and was the aptly named "holy city" of the Saitu Dimension.

Although Merlin's Hallucinating spell had achieved its third step, it would be quite difficult to entrap all two hundred thousand people in an illusion, to the point of impossibility. Certainly, any Hallucinating spell would have certain limitations.

However, with the Illusory World, Merlin wanted to try it.

Merlin retrieved a white round bead from his spatial ring, and then extended his enormous Mind Power into it.

"Boom!"

Merlin's enormous Mind Power was slightly shaken. Although the Illusory World was intangible, it still contained an entire world, so despite Merlin using intangible Mind Power to mobilize it, there was a feeling of extreme weight.

This was the first time Merlin had mobilized the Illusory World.

There were no changes in the illusion bead but Merlin could clearly sense that the Illusory World was slowly drifting out of the illusion bead, and then swiftly spreading out to the atmosphere. It was a simple feat for a world to encompass a city.

Soon enough, the Illusory World wrapped around the entire Holy City. At this moment, everyone was slightly disoriented, like entering a strange world, but the Illusory World utilized Hallucinating spells to make them feel natural. Without any feeling of incoherence, they nonchalantly accepted the Illusory World.

Even the Great Wizards did not bat an eyelid. Currently, just a single thought from Merlin could cause the entire Holy City to start killing one another, and plunge into chaos.

This was the fearsome quality of Mind Power Masters, especially those who had achieved the Illusory Heart and beyond.

"Scary, isn't it? This is what a Mind Power Master is all about. According to my vision, the Illusory World is infinitely vast. At its most powerful, it can even envelop an entire dimension. With just a single thought, everyone in the dimension would be controlled. This is far more powerful than any god, foreign tribe or Spell Caster… The Illusory World has no limit, it can expand indefinitely!"

Merlin saw a familiar figure emerge inside the Illusory World.

"Titus?"

Merlin was not particularly surprised. Although Titus was hiding in the Illusory World, it did not mean that he was completely integrated into the Illusory World. Titus still occupied a distinctive position inside the Illusory World.

"Expand indefinitely? Then how could it turn from illusion to reality?"

Merlin frowned. According to Titus' theory, the Illusory World could expand indefinitely. The bigger the world, the more powerful it would become. At its most powerful, it could rival the Ultimate Arcane Wizards.

This was the first time Merlin had heard such a clear analysis, and the first time he felt the ambition from Titus' heart. The Mind Power system that Titus had conceived did not only aim to become comparable to the Spell Caster system, but to surpass it!

This was because if Mind Power could successfully transform illusion into reality, it would be a reversal of the natural order, and transcend the limitations of the natural order, thus possessing powers that exceed the Arcane Wizards.

This was a very crazy idea. In the vast Void Zone, no one had ever heard of any existences that could surpass the Ultimate Arcane Wizards. Even the most exceptional Slothful Beast was only attributed to its unique characteristics, but its abilities did not surpass the Arcane Wizards.

Titus, on the other hand, was vowing to surpass the Arcane Wizards!

After a long pause, Merlin shook his head. "Titus, all these are way beyond my reach. Even you haven't achieved the Illusory World realm, and your world hasn't been perfected. There's no way it could turn an illusion into reality."

"Yes, my Illusory World hasn't been perfected."

Upon mention of this, Titus' expression sunk slightly. Then, he locked his gaze on Merlin, and smiled. "That is why you'll perfect my Illusory World! You better start studying the Illusory Heart. Once you attain enlightenment of the Illusory Heart, you're considered to have broken through the limits of the Mind Power system…"

Subsequently, Titus' figure faded away.

Merlin waved his hand, and retracted the Illusory World. The entire Holy City resumed its original appearance. In fact, the Wizards did not realize that they had just been trapped in an illusion. Only a small portion of Wizards felt slightly dazed.

Merlin, on the other hand, descended into deep thoughts. His Mind Power had now achieved the Ninth-level so he could forcibly mobilize the Illusory World. However, without achieving the Illusory Heart, he would not be able to fully wield all the powers of the Illusory World.

Moreover, just as Titus had said, Merlin had not broken through the limits of the Mind Power system. Only by achieving the Mind Heart, he could depend on his own abilities to rival a Great Legend. Right now, Merlin was dependent on the Illusory World consolidated by Titus.

After retracting the Illusory World, Merlin re-entered the God-Binding Disc. At this time, Demon God Vauna was on his last breath, and would be annihilated at any time. There was only a tiny morsel of divinity left in him, and his body was completely translucent.

Merlin ignored him, and continued absorbing the divinity to increase his Mind Power. Since he had only broken through recently, his Mind Power might not be able to support the construction of Ninth-level spells yet. Therefore, he needed a long time to accumulate it.Two years later, the huge sprawling tree in the sky seemed to have grown lusher, and the roots had grown thicker. What was even more amazing was that next to this huge sprawling tree, there were eight smaller, giant trees.

"Hum hum."

Suddenly, a big tornado appeared in the sky. Strong gales whipped around mightily, almost shattering space itself.

"Rustle rustle rustle."

The huge sprawling tree vibrated violently, and then, an incomparably thick root emitted an emerald green light. Rapidly, it evolved into a small tree, and under the help of the green light, the small tree grew speedily, and became as gigantic as the other eight trees. Like stars surrounding the moon, they surrounded the huge sprawling tree in the middle.

"Swish."

Suddenly, beside the huge tree, a black-robed figure appeared, and stared at the tree with a worried expression.

Soon enough, the huge tree shook its leaves, and an apparition also appeared in the sky and spoke to Merlin. "Wizard Merlin, I'm sure you've sensed it too. If I continue to absorb, this dimension would be destroyed."

The huge tree apparition was of course Alcra. Currently, he had just nurtured the nine Tree Saplings, and recovered his abilities, thanks to the Saitu Dimension. Without the support of the Elemental Origin, Alcra would not be able to recover so quickly.

However, as time went by, another problem arose. The Elemental Origin absorbed by Alcra was almost exhausted. Once it was exhausted, then they would not be any different to the plunderers as the dimension would fall in a state of despair.

This was something that Merlin was unwilling to see happen because he already decided to use the Saitu Dimension as his first base in the open territory. In the future, he would slowly develop it.

Merlin nodded hesitantly. "That's right, there's not much Elemental Origin left. If you continue to absorb it, the entire dimension will suffer tremendous damage."

Alcra smiled calmly. "Don't worry. I'm happy that I'm able to recover in such a short span of time! Since Wizard Merlin is going to develop the Saitu Dimension, naturally, I'll not destroy it. With this, I relinquish my control over the Dimension Core."

Once Alcra had finished speaking, Merlin immediately sensed that half of the controlling rights over the Elemental Origin had been relinquished by Alcra. He hesitated for a split second but finally accepted control over the remaining half of the dimension. Thus, the entire Saitu Dimension was now under Merlin's control. He had become a true master of a dimension.

"Alcra, this time, both our abilities have charted great progress. Perhaps, we can try to 'snatch' a dimension!"

Merlin suddenly raised his head and said.

"Snatch a dimension?"

Alcra was momentarily stunned, uncertain of Merlin's plan. With a frown, he said, "Although both our abilities are comparable to the preeminent Great Wizards, you saw what happened the last time. Luca, Nestia, Bordeaux, and even Kubale from the Spell Caster civilization were completely powerless against the mysterious Giant King… We don't have the ability to snatch a dimension!"

Alcra shook his head helplessly. The gap that existed between a Great Wizard and a Great Legend was simply too vast and could not be bridged. If a new dimension appeared, they could only pray that the Great Legends would not show up.

However, how many open dimensions were there without competition from the Great Legends? The last time, Merlin and Alcra managed to escape but it would be difficult to predict what would happen the next time.

"The Giant King? What happened the last time definitely will not happen again!"

A stern look flashed across Merlin's eyes. Subsequently, his Mind Power shrouded Alcra, and he wielded the third step of his Hallucinating spell. Upon breaking through the third step, Merlin's Hallucinating spells were able to entrap even the preeminent Great Wizards in an illusion.

Therefore, Alcra was no exception, and immediately fell into the illusion.

Merlin quickly retracted his illusion and smiled. "Alcra, how was it? With my current level of Hallucinating spells, any Great Wizard would not be able to pose a threat to us! As for the Great Legends, don't worry, I have a way. I won't let history repeat itself."

Alcra's heart was very astonished. Although he knew that Merlin's Hallucinating spell would be even more formidable after the breakthrough, and would not be capable of resistance by the preeminent Great Wizards, he held a glimmer of hope in his heart. Since he had nurtured the nine Tree Saplings once again, he was no longer an ordinary preeminent Great Wizard but one of the mightiest opponents below a Great Legend.

However, he did not expect that Merlin still managed to trap him with a Hallucinating spell so easily. Currently, Merlin's abilities had surpassed him.

After thinking for a moment, Alcra was obviously fascinated by the idea. Their joint force was already undefeatable below a Great Legend, added with Merlin's conviction that he was not afraid of any Great Legend, Alcra soon decided.

"Wizard Merlin, since you want to seize a dimension, let's go. The main reason I came to the open territory was to seize a dimension and level up to become an upper rank Tree Folk. Although I've failed once, it's not a big deal!"

A smile appeared on Merlin's face. Alcra had immense potential. Once he became an upper rank Tree Folk, he would be one of the most demonic existences that could exceed his own level and challenge a Great Legend. So, Alcra was not at all less talented than Merlin.

Therefore, having Alcra on board would greatly benefit Merlin's quest to occupy more dimensions.

Hence, after making proper arrangements for the Saitu Dimension, Merlin and Alcra left the Saitu Dimension, and re-entered the chaotic and dangerous open territory.

However, this time, they were openly here to "snatch" a dimension.

Chapter 606: The Firecloud Dimension

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

In the pitch-black Void Zone, red circular ripples were floating. Immediately, a group of what looked like gray specks of dust melded into the darkness of the Void Zone, and materialized into a group of foreign tribe members.

On the heads of this foreign tribe were two sharp horns. Their burly bodies exuded evident viciousness as they stared keenly around their surroundings.

"Hmm? Someone is coming. Hehe, finally someone is coming. I knew it! Since the Firecloud Dimension became a masterless dimension, it would attract many foreign tribes to fight for it. We won't join the fight but instead, we'll guard this route. I'm sure we'll be able to ambush many foreign tribes. So, they'll be the ones fighting tooth and nail while we derive the most benefits. Haha, everyone, get ready. When those two get near, attack them at once!"

Next, the foreign tribes dissipated into ripples on water, and disappeared without a trace.

"Whiz whiz."

Soon, a huge flying ship appeared in the Void Zone, covered by dense carvings of runes that formed a large Magic Circle to protect the flying ship.

In the flying ship were Merlin and Alcra. They had left the Saitu Dimension more than a month ago yet they had not encountered any foreign tribes.

Suddenly, a strange ripple stirred, and a large gray net descended upon the flying ship. Under this large net, the Aurora Ship's Runic Magic Circles could not move at all.

"Haha, caught you. You're the first foreign tribe we caught today. Now, hand over your precious items. Looking at this casting tool, you must be Spell Casters. Hehe, I'm sure you have quite a lot of precious items."

Following the drop of the large gray net, the foreign tribe team with two horns on their heads appeared. A total of seven or eight of them had surrounded the Aurora Ship which was carrying Merlin and Alcra. The auras on their bodies were comparable to Great Wizards.

Nevertheless, the strongest among them was only a peak Great Wizard. In the open territory, this team was considered weaker than most. Otherwise, they would not form a team of seven to eight beings. Most of the top-level foreign tribe teams composed of only three to four beings.

If any foreign tribe teams were composed of seven, eight or even up to a dozen beings, it was probably because they did not feel strong enough, so they relied on their large numbers to explore the open territory together.

Merlin and Alcra exchanged a glance. Alcra smiled and said, "Just as we're worried that none of the foreign tribes send us their regards, these Orcs knock on our door. Merlin, allow me!"

Alcra seemed eager to try, so Merlin nodded. Alcra laughed heftily, and revealed his true form in an instant. A huge sprawling tree appeared and pierced through the large gray net. At the same time, countless roots shot out toward the seven or eight Orcs.

"A preeminent existence just below the Orc King! D*mn it, how did we bump into such a powerful Tree Folk? Escape, everyone, escape now!"

The leader of the Orcs seemed well-informed. When he saw Alcra's true form, he immediately realized the trouble he was in. His face went white, and wanted to escape immediately but it was too late. Alcra was, after all, comparable to a preeminent Great Wizard. How would he allow any of the Orcs to escape?

So, thick strands of roots began to lash out at the Orcs.

"Slap slap slap."

Every brutal strike of the thick roots was accompanied by the tortured screams of the Orcs. Although Alcra's attacking powers were not as strong as his defensive powers, he was still a preeminent Great Wizard. These ordinary Great Wizard-level Orcs was not capable to withstand Alcra's hit. Hence, every strike could kill one Orc.

After seven lashes, seven of the Orcs were dead, leaving only the leader Orc who was comparable to a peak Great Wizard. After witnessing the death of seven of his companions, the last Orc paled, and let out a mad howl. He exposed the Orcs' true form, and his speed burst several times faster. Then, he flew frantically toward the depths of the Void Zone.

Speed was not Alcra's forte. Seeing that the Orc was about to escape, Merlin stepped forward and sniggered softly. "Haha, Alcra, this last Orc is quite fast, let me do the honors."

Alcra nodded. Indeed, speed was not his forte. If his opponent was not trapped, then Alcra's speed would probably lose out to the stronger Great Wizards.

"Illusion!"

Merlin's invisible Mind Power swiftly caught up to the last Orc. Then, the Orc's face turned blank and stopped in his tracks. With a calm expression, Merlin stretched out a hand and whispered to the Orc, "Come back!"

Sure enough, the Orc turned around and flew back towards Merlin and Alcra. Seeing this, Alcra nodded in silent approval. Merlin's Hallucinating spell was really incredible. Anyone who was struck by his Hallucinating spell completely turned into a lamb for slaughter, without a single ounce of resistance.

"Hoo…"

Merlin retracted the illusion and the Orc immediately regained his awareness. Looking at Merlin and Alcra standing right in front of him, his face paled and made another attempt to escape. However, he was already securely bound by Alcra using a few thick roots.

"Say, why did you ambush us?"

Merlin stared coldly at the Orc.

The Orc's eyes widened and quickly thought of a plan. He knew that the two people before him were preeminent existences far beyond his imagination. He did not want to die like the rest of his companions.

Thus, he hurriedly said, "The two of you must be looking for the Firecloud Dimension, right? The Firecloud Dimension has fallen into the hands of some preeminent existences, but the fight is still going on intensely right now. I am not qualified to compete with them, so I prepared to ambush some foreign tribes on their way there. I didn't expect that on my first ambush, I encountered both of you."

After a pause, the Orc continued, "I can bring you to the Firecloud Dimension, but I beg that once you find the Firecloud Dimension, you can let me go."

Merlin and Alcra exchanged a look, their eyes betraying twin looks of delight. Unexpectedly, their first encounter with a foreign tribe team had brought them news of a foreign dimension. Moreover, the fight for the dimension was still ongoing.

"Tell us the specific details of the Firecloud Dimension!"

Merlin did not answer directly but continued questioning.

The Orc did not dare object and answered hastily. "The Firecloud Dimension used to be occupied by a Giant King. However, the Giant King was killed by a more powerful existence when he was trying to seize another dimension. Hence, this dimension became a masterless dimension. Currently, there are many powerful existences rushing towards the Firecloud Dimension to fight for it. Since the two of you are also preeminent existences, if you go there, there is a chance for you to occupy the Firecloud Dimension."

The Orc also hoped that Merlin and Alcra would go and fight for the Firecloud Dimension, because only then would he have some hope for survival.

"There are no Legends involved?"

Merlin was highly cautious of the Great Legends.

The Orc shook his head. "I can't tell for sure. Right now, in the open territory, there may be many Great Legend existences, but most of them already own a dimension. Moreover, the battle between Great Legends can be very intense. Perhaps, for a while, none of the Great Legend existences would pay attention to this dimension."

Alcra looked at Merlin. In a low voice, he whispered, "Wizard Merlin, this is a great opportunity. If the two of us join forces, other than a Great Legend, who can withstand us? If we obtain the controlling rights of this dimension, I will fully absorb the power of the Dimension Core and attempt to combine my nine Tree Saplings into one. Then, I will make a beeline towards becoming an upper rank Tree Folk!"

Alcra obviously desired the Firecloud Dimension. He had indeed reached the bottleneck. In fact, the last time, he was almost ready to make a beeline towards becoming an upper rank Tree Folk, but in the end, the news was leaked about the dimension which eventually attracted that terrifying Giant King. As a result, he lost the dimension as well as his nine Tree Saplings. He suffered heavy losses.

Seeing Alcra's eager gaze, Merlin nodded lightly. He turned around and told the Orc, "Bring us to the Firecloud Dimension, then you can leave safely!"

"Oh? I will definitely bring you two to the Firecloud Dimension!"

The Orc's face showed a hint of surprise and immediately led Merlin and Alcra away from this area. He did not dare ask Merlin and Alcra swear on the Ultimate Order. After all, he was just a lowly prisoner.

"Hopefully this time things will go smoothly…"

Alcra muttered softly. After the last defeat, he and Merlin had to start afresh, so he actually did not have much confidence. Nevertheless, seeing Merlin's calm expression, Alcra's anxious emotions could not help but calm gradually.

"Whoosh."

In the vastness of the Void Zone, a golden light beam flashed by, quickly reaching a chaotic dimension. This dimension was in turmoil because hidden within its fiery surface were many contenders from foreign tribes who were fighting over it.

"Humph!"

A massive golden Roc gradually materialized from the golden light. It was Bordeaux from the Feather Tribe who had narrowly escaped from the grasp of the mysterious Giant King back then.

At that point, Bordeaux had luckily relied upon his speed to escape. Now, he had come to fight for the Firecloud Dimension.

"The Firecloud Dimension – I must get it this time!"

Bordeaux's icy glare swept across the many foreign tribes in the dimension as he chortled mirthlessly. Following that, he transformed into a golden beam of light once again, and promptly flew into the dimension.

This dimension was named the Firecloud Dimension because of its extremely high temperature. In many places, it was so hot that it was as if there were scorching flames. This was because this dimension had a much higher concentration of Fire Element compared to other dimensions, so it could be considered a dimension with special characteristics.

"Whiz whiz whiz."

Upon flying into the dimension, Bordeaux began to dispose of the foreign tribes within the Firecloud Dimension. He was comparable to the most preeminent Great Wizard. In addition to his incredible speed, it would be difficult for even a contender of a similar level to capture him. Therefore, Bordeaux was the hardest to deal with among creatures who were like preeminent Great Wizards.

"Oh no, it's Bordeaux. Run, run, run! We're no match for him!"

Some of the foreign tribes finally noticed Bordeaux. They knew that when one of the mightiest beings like Bordeaux had come to the Firecloud Dimension, the matter was completely out of their hands.

Of course, there were some who wanted to joined forces, preparing to face Bordeaux together. Nonetheless, Bordeaux relied upon his speed, plus his abilities were on par with a preeminent Great Wizard's. Naturally, he settled the matter easily.

As one of the mightiest existences below a Legend, numbers no longer meant anything much.

Thus, pitiful cries rang out one after another, following which the life force of the foreign tribe members vanished. With Bordeaux's speed, escape was a futile dream.

"Humph, I was so unlucky the last time, encountering a mysterious Giant King. This time, no matter what, I must seize the Firecloud Dimension!"

Bordeaux still felt some lingering trepidation when he recalled what had happened the last time. Nestia, Luca, and Kubale who were with him had all died. These beings were not inferior to him at all.

Moreover, there were still Alcra and the mysterious Spell Caster who knew Hallucinating spells. Things did not look good for them, and only Bordeaux had managed to luckily escape through his speed. He felt very fortunate as well.

Therefore, he must be even more cautious now. After he had gained complete control of the dimension, he must absorb the Dimension Core as quickly as possible, increasing his strength. Hopefully, he would achieve a breakthrough in this manner, becoming on par with a Great Legend.

However, just as he was about to control the Dimension Core, a gigantic figure quickly entered the dimension. Moreover, the moment this figure appeared, it brutally began to attack Bordeaux.

That terrifying power made Bordeaux's heart jump violently as he sensed the threat of death.

"Whoosh."

This time, it was Bordeaux's speed which saved him again. After he had fled for a distance, he turned around to look. It turned out to be a Giant whose body was faintly glowing with golden light, appearing divine and formidable.

"So, it's Tuota!"

As Bordeaux stared at the Giant before him, his eyes filled with dread. Tuota was known to be the most gifted Giant among the Giant Tribe because previously, he was very assured of becoming a Giant King. Nevertheless, he had ultimately given up. At that point, Tuota was already nine hundred and eighty meters tall.

The Giant Tribe was different from the other foreign tribes. Those below a Giant King, upon reaching nine hundred and fifty meters, would face an immensely challenging gulf. Even growing by one meter was very challenging.

However, when they grew by one meter, their strength would rapidly increase. If they had reached over nine hundred and ninety meters, they would be rather fearsome. Those were definitely among the most gifted Giants.

Nevertheless, Tuota was even more insane and proud. When he was nine hundred and eighty meters tall, he gave up on becoming a Giant King, and instead continued to boost his strength. Within three hundred years, he had grown from nine hundred and eighty meters to nine hundred and ninety meters. Still, he was not satisfied. He wanted to reach the limit, the nine hundred and ninety-nine meters of the Giants' legends.

It was said that among the Giant Tribe, whoever had reached nine hundred and ninety-nine meters, once they became a Giant King, would instantly become the strongest Giant King. They would reach the top of the ladder in one bound. This was equivalent to upgrading from a Great Wizard to a Great Legend, then becoming the strongest Lord in one leap.

In other civilizations, this was nearly inconceivable. There were no instances of this even in the Spell Caster civilization. In the Giant Tribe, this was merely a rumor, and nothing else. There had never been a Giant who could reach nine hundred and ninety-nine meters, and even those above nine hundred and ninety-five could be counted on one's fingers.

Tuota was one such Giant who was above nine hundred and ninety-five. He was dubbed the strongest Giant below a Giant King. In the open territory, Tuota was without a doubt the mightiest being below the level of a Legend. This was because Tuota was once attacked by a foreign tribe member on par with a Great Legend but Tuota had fended off the attack. They were equally matched, and for a time, Tuota became a legend of the open territory.

Currently, Tuota had entered the fight for the Firecloud Dimension. Bordeaux knew that there would be great trouble.

"Bordeaux, there's nothing here for your Feather Tribe. Scram, get out of the Firecloud Dimension. It belongs to me, Tuota!"

Tuota's mighty voice reverberated in the air, and his tone showed his tyrannical attitude too.

Bordeaux knitted his brows, his heart filled with resentment. If it was a true Great Legend, he would not even hesitate and would hightail it out of here. He would not linger on in the dimension. However, although Tuota was powerful, his speed was still something Bordeaux could deal with.

"Tuota, you had merely reached a stalemate with a Great Legend, but do you really think you're a Giant King? Humph, you're impressive indeed, able to suppress anyone below the level of a Giant King. However, don't forget, no matter how strong you are, you're not fast enough. Can you catch me?"

Bordeaux barked out a cold laugh. He had the utmost confidence in his own speed.

"Bordeaux, die!"

Tuota was conceited as well. His sharp glare landed upon Bordeaux and without warning, he threw a punch toward Bordeaux. That colossal force seemed to crush even the air itself, and a tremendous pressure pressed in from every direction.

Bordeaux's heart tightened as he laughed. "Haha, Tuota, you can't kill me!"

Following that, a golden light flashed by. Bordeaux flapped his wings and instantly transformed into a light beam, speeding around the dimension constantly. Tuota could attack as much as he liked with that petrifying force, but he could not land a single blow no matter what.

They battled in this manner for three days and three nights before Tuota finally stopped. Even though a three days' battle was nothing to him, he knew at last how impressive Bordeaux was. Even if Tuota had immense strength which could cause Bordeaux grievous harm in one blow, he was unable to get near Bordeaux no matter what.

"Bordeaux, I'll control seventy percent of the dimension core, you get thirty percent!"

Tuota's voice was icy, and allowed no room for negotiation.

However, Bordeaux shook his head. "That's not enough. You can't handle me, so we should each get half. Moreover, there are advantages to joining forces. With your strength and my speed, who below the level of Legends can stand up to us?"

Bordeaux seemed to remember that back then, he had said the same thing to Luca, but they had encountered the alliance of Merlin and Alcra.

As he recalled this, Bordeaux shook his head. Merlin and Alcra must have been wiped out by that mysterious and fearsome Giant King, and only Bordeaux had escaped.

"Bordeaux, even without you, there's no one below a Legend who is my match! You'll get thirty percent only. Otherwise, we'll continue our fight!"

Tuota showed not the slightest sign of letting up. After a moment of consideration, Bordeaux finally clenched his teeth and agreed. Although he had faith in his speed, no one could say for sure what might happen if they continued like this. If he was hit by Tuota even once, he would be done for.

"Very well, we'll make an oath of the Ultimate Order then. We both agree to control the Firecloud Dimension together. Other than Legends, no one is of a threat to us."

"Even if it's a Great Legend, what can they do?"

Tuota spoke in a gruff voice but his words revealed his tremendous confidence. He was someone who had battled against a Great Legend. Even if he was not completely on the same level, at least he was not as frightened of Legends like the other foreign tribes.

Bordeaux shook his head with a bitter smile but said nothing. Tuota truly had the ability to back up his words. In the long history of the Giant Tribe, Giants above nine hundred and ninety-five meters could be counted on one's fingers."Both of you, the Firecloud Dimension is right ahead."

The Orc brought Merlin and Alcra to the Firecloud Dimension. From a distance, the dimension indeed appeared to be filled with Fire Element, just like a ball of flames.

"Indeed, it really is a masterless dimension. Alright, since I said we'll let you go, I'll keep my word. You can leave."

Merlin seemed unconcerned about this Orc, and casually let him go.

The Orc was naturally filled with gratitude. In the open territory, to ultimately survive after being captured was far too lucky. Therefore, how could he possibly dare to stay on any longer? He quickly left the Firecloud Dimension.

Before entering the dimension, Merlin first used his Mind Power to survey the situation. Nevertheless, after his Mind Power extended into the Firecloud Dimension, a strange expression crossed his face as he said with a humorless smile, "Alcra, I didn't expect that there would be an acquaintance here whom we both know?"

"An acquaintance?"

Alcra stared at Merlin. He and Merlin came from different civilizations and had only known each other in the Inceptive Dimension. Who could possibly be a mutual acquaintance to both of them?

"Haha, you'll know once you enter. Let's go!"

Merlin did not explain further, and only smirked in an ineffable manner. Together with Alcra, he flew into the Firecloud Dimension.

Chapter 608: Fighting Two Mighty Legends I

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

"Swearing on the Ultimate Order…"

In the Firecloud Dimension, Bordeaux and the Giant Tuota were making an oath on the Ultimate Order. Both of them were to control the Dimension Core of the Firecloud Dimension together.

However, before they had officially agreed, there came a familiar voice. "Bordeaux, we meet again!"

"Huh? Alcra and that mysterious Spell Caster Merlin… You guys aren't dead?"

Bordeaux's face shifted, and his eyes revealed his incredulity. He knew how terrifying that mysterious Giant King was. Besides him, who could use his speed to flee, no one would be able to block it.

Nonetheless, here was Alcra and Merlin now, appearing in the Firecloud Dimension.

"You wish to seize this dimension too?"

As he spoke, Bordeaux was retreating stealthily, distancing himself from Merlin and Alcra. He knew that Merlin had Hallucinating spells, and must be kept far away.

"Tuota, both of them aren't easy to deal with. Alcra is a second-generation Tree Folk of the Tree Tribe, and this Spell Caster is even more troublesome, possessing powerful abilities of Hallucinating spells…"

Before Bordeaux had finished, Tuota was already glaring at Alcra and Merlin, laughing coldly. "The Firecloud Dimension isn't something you can interfere in. Scram!"

"Boom."

Tuota swung a first toward Merlin and Alcra. The immense pressure crushed in from all sides, and Alcra's face changed instantly. He roared furiously and revealed his true form. A gigantic tree canopy, glimmering with a verdant shine, combined with thick roots to form a shield.

The present Alcra had already completely recovered his power, and was on par with the most preeminent Great Wizard.

"Bang."

The two earth-shattering forces met, and Alcra was immediately sent flying, his root shield smashed in an instant. With a single blow, the difference in their strengths was exposed. Although Alcra had the greatest defense, he could not withstand an attack from this Giant before him.

"What powerful strength. Tuota… Could it be the Tuota who had legendarily battled with a Great Legend?"

Upon receiving such a massive blow from Tuota, Alcra seemed to recall something, and cried out in shock.

Alcra wished to become the strongest prodigy in the Tree Tribe civilization, able to transcend his rank to challenge the great Tree King. Tuota was one such demonic genius, an upper rank Giant able to contend against Great Legends.

"Merlin, now that we've bumped into Tuota, it's quite dangerous. We'd better leave, and not fight for this dimension."

Alcra no longer wished to clash with Tuota. He could not even take a blow from his opponent and wanted to retreat.

"Retreat? No need! Alcra, use everything you have to seize the dimension core now. As for Tuota and Bordeaux, I'll stop them!"

With that, Merlin ignored Alcra's stupefied expression, then took a casual step forward. His massive Mind Power plunged forward noiselessly.

"Hallucinate!"

When he heard the word "hallucinate" from Merlin's lips, Bordeaux felt a jolt in his heart, and got ready to retreat instantly but it was too late. Even if he was fully prepared, Merlin's Hallucinating spell had already reached the third stage. Anyone below a Legend was no match for this, and would all be caught in his illusion.

"Oh no…"

Everything went blank for Bordeaux, after which a strange world appeared. Bordeaux knew something was wrong but he was unable to struggle out of the Hallucinating spell, and his entire body sagged lifelessly.

Bordeaux was merely an ancillary target. The truly impressive one was Tuota. Merlin was using most of his Mind Power to keep Tuota in check. At that moment, waves after waves of intense Mind Power rushed over, making Tuota feel drowsy. He seemed to be completely sunken in a stupor. His mind was a total blank, and he stood there silently.

"Erm… Merlin, is this your Hallucinating spell?"

Behind Merlin, Alcra saw that Bordeaux and Tuota were evidently caught in Merlin's Hallucinating spell, and was stunned. It was not surprising that it worked on Bordeaux but Tuota was a match for a Great Legend!

Merlin still appeared cool and breezy, calmly saying, "Alcra, you'd better control the Dimension Core as soon as you can or problems might crop up! As for Tuota, although he's impressive, he's not a real Giant King and hasn't evolved. Thus, my Hallucinating spell can just about trap him but we mustn't startle him awake. Any small commotion could possibly awaken him."

Alcra nodded, following which he quickly revealed his true form, turning into a skyscraping tree that extended through the air. The thick roots twisted throughout the sky, and the Elemental Origin of the Firecloud Dimension was slowly taken over by Alcra bit by bit.

Alcra must quickly absorb the Elemental Origin. Nine Tree Saplings appeared beside him but this time, they revealed their true form too, and surrounded Alcra.

Merlin was using his full efforts to control Tuota but there was a faint struggle going on in Tuota's expression, meaning that he was not so easily dragged into the illusion. Merlin could only use his Mind Power to create one illusion after another, causing Tuota to be incapable of extricating himself.

However, it was much easier to deal with Bordeaux. A murderous feeling toward this speedy member of the Feather Tribe flashed across in Merlin's heart. If it were not for his Hallucinating spell which controlled Bordeaux, it would really be difficult to kill off Bordeaux.

"Fire!"

Merlin pointed gently and a fireball promptly flew out, followed by thunder, gale, and ice crystals, whistling as they sped toward Bordeaux. This was Merlin's spell fusion, composed of Eighth-level spells, able to kill off any preeminent Great Wizards.

"Boom."

Without any defenses, Bordeaux's entire body was submerged in the vicious spells. Only then did this strongest being of the Feather Tribe wake up from the illusion. He let out a heartrending cry, and his body erupted in a golden light, but it was too late.

When the flames had dispersed, there was no trace of Bordeaux's force in the air. This was the scary thing about Hallucinating spells and Mind Power Masters. This was merely the third stage of Hallucinating spells. If one had attained the Illusory Heart, that was even more fearsome. One could control one's enemies with no trace nor sound. Mind Power Masters who had reached that point could explode with a truly awesome, petrifying power!

The days passed one after another. Merlin maintained the illusion over Tuota, who must not be disturbed in the slightest or he would recover his senses. As for killing Tuota, Merlin had no guarantee of doing so. After all, this formidable member of the Giant Tribe could even contend against a Great Legend. Merlin did not wish to startle Tuota from the illusion, and instead allowed Alcra more time to absorb the Elemental Origin.

Within this period, Merlin could clearly see that the nine Tree Saplings beside Alcra were rapidly growing. They had almost caught up to Alcra's own form.

This meant that Alcra's development was going smoothly. He might just need a little bit more time to successfully merge with the nine Tree Saplings.

"Thud thud thud."

After a few days, Merlin raised his head abruptly. Outside the dimension was a deafening noise that sounded like a heartbeat, reverberating throughout the entire dimension.

Tuota seemed to be affected as well, and his expression turned more and more malevolent as his body trembled violently. Merlin was nearly unable to hold on anymore.

"Who can it be?"

Merlin was dumbstruck. At this point, a black cloud had gradually stretched across the dimension's sky. If one took a closer look, one could see that it was no cloud but a blanket of black light that covered the sky.

Moreover, what was even scarier was that within the black light, a Rock Creature had emerged. The vast and imposing force of his body indicated that he was on the level of a Great Legend!

"In the end, a Legendary existence still interfered…"

Merlin shot a glance at Tuota. At this point, Tuota was affected by this Rock Creature who was on par with a Great Legend. Merlin was no longer able to drag Tuota into the illusion, and hence, withdrew his Mind Power.

It was as if Tuota was awakening from a deep slumber but as soon as he saw Merlin, he instantly became clear-headed, and his entire body exuded his rage. He thundered in wrath. "You're the one who cast the illusion over me?"

Tuota had a fiery temper, and he cried out in rage. In one big step, he swung a fist toward Merlin, an attack that was even more frightening than the one Alcra had suffered. It looked like Tuota was truly enraged now.

Nonetheless, Merlin kept his eyes glued to the Legend-level Rock Creature in the sky, smiling coldly. "The Rock Tribe is treacherous indeed. A grand and lofty Great Legend, yet you still resort to a trick like this!"

Merlin was rather resentful. This Rock Creature was an existence on par with Great Legends but he had "awakened" the Giant Tuota. By taking advantage of the fight between Tuota and Merlin, he could stand at one side, forcibly seizing the Elemental Origin of the Firecloud Dimension.

Merlin had already noticed that Alcra's body was shaking terribly. Evidently, he was wrestling with the Rock Creature for control over the Elemental Origin. Nevertheless, no matter what, Alcra was incapable of overcoming this Rock Creature who was on the level of a Legend.

"Our Rock Tribe is a truly intelligent civilization. If we can finish something in one move, then one move is all we need. You're quite an interesting Spell Caster. No, you must be a Mind Power Master. Your Spell Caster civilization is really a wondrous civilization… After I've gained the controlling rights of the Firecloud Dimension, I'll capture you and put you under interrogation. I believe I'll learn something interesting."

This Rock Creature spoke in a leisurely manner.

"Control this dimension? I'm afraid you won't get the chance!"

Merlin glanced at Tuota. This Giant was on par with a Great Legend, and because he was on his guard now, it would be difficult for Merlin to trap him with a third stage Hallucinating spell.

Merlin knew that Alcra must not be interrupted now. With that in mind, he closed his eyes, and a white pearl appeared in his hand. It was the illusion bead in which Titus was hiding.

"Illusory World!"

Merlin's Mind Power was completely mobilized. Instantly, a shapeless fluctuation rippled outward, inducing an indescribable fear even in that lofty Rock Creature.

"Buzz."

Within the Illusory World, Titus' figure materialized once more. When he saw the situation Merlin was in, the remaining strand of the Mind Power avatar revealed a sharp glint in his eyes, laughing coldly. "Hehe, so what if it's two Legends? Merlin, even though you can only mobilize a portion of the Illusory World's strength for now, and even though my Illusory World isn't perfected, it's still sufficient to deal with these foreign tribes! Go on, let these foreign tribes know the power of us Mind Power Masters. Haha, back then, I didn't have the opportunity to leave the Slothful Beast world. Otherwise, I'd surely stir up a storm in the entire Void Zone!"

Titus' voice subtly revealed a trace of joy and mania.

Chapter 609: Fighting Two Mighty Legends II

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The Illusory World seemed to weigh many tons, and Merlin felt his entire body sinking. Nonetheless, this was just a trick of the mind. It was merely a pressure on his Mind Power.

Fortunately, it was not the first time Merlin had mobilized the Illusory World, so he got used to it quickly. The invisible Illusory World rapidly extended toward the Giant Tuota and the Rock Creature of Ancestor-level strength who was high in the sky.

The Ancestor-level of the Rock Tribe was equivalent to a Great Legend while the Rock Progenitor was on par with the Ultimate Arcane Wizard! This Rock Creature before Merlin was obviously of the Ancestor-level yet he resorted to petty tricks, inciting Tuota to go after Merlin while he wrested the controlling rights of the dimension from Alcra.

If this Ancestor-level Rock Creature controlled the Firecloud Dimension, there would be great trouble. It would be immensely difficult to seize back the controlling rights of the dimension. Therefore, Merlin naturally would not let this Rock Creature's plan succeed.

"Boom."

The moment the Illusory World appeared, it first swallowed Tuota. Instantly, he stopped his attacks, and was evidently stupefied. This time, it was different from when Merlin himself had cast his third-stage Hallucinating spell. After all, this was an Illusory World formed by Titus. Even if only a portion of its strength could be mobilized, it was enough to trap a Great Legend in the illusion.

Noticing Tuota's manner, the Ancestor-level Rock Creature could keenly sense the incoming danger, and his body immediately emanated halos of black light.

Nonetheless, when the Illusory World had enveloped him, his expression turned blank, after which he shuddered involuntarily, his expression clearly indicating that he was still struggling.

This was a being on par with Great Legends! It was the first time Merlin had wielded the Illusory World against such a powerful being. Compared to the Ancestor-level Rock Creature, Tuota was much easier to deal with.

Titus materialized leisurely in the Illusory World once more, shooting Merlin a smile. "Merlin, see that? Two existences comparable to Great Legends are trapped in the Illusory World just like that. Still, your ability is ultimately too weak. If you can increase your strength, then you can even use this time now to kill them off completely. However, you can only trap them in the Illusory World for now, and it uses a huge amount of your Mind Power. I'm afraid you won't be able to sustain this for long."

Merlin's expression sank. It was true. Mobilizing the Illusory World took a huge toll on Merlin's Mind Power.

"I can only keep this up for about half a day. If Alcra still hadn't succeeded by then, we can only leave the Firecloud Dimension for now…"

Merlin glanced over at Alcra, who seemed to be reaching a critical point. Without the Ancestor-level Rock Creature disturbing him, his nine Tree Saplings were growing at an exceptional pace, wildly shooting up at every moment.

The Ancestor-level Rock Creature and Tuota were currently dwelling in the Illusory World quietly. Two mighty existences on par with Legends were caught in Merlin's illusion just like that. Merlin was not a Great Legend and not even a Great Wizard. No other Spell Caster could have achieved such a feat.

It was just that Merlin felt no sense of elation at the moment. Instead, he was plagued by worry because as time flowed by, he felt that it was increasingly difficult to control the Illusory World.

One hour, two hours, three hours…

In the blink of an eye, six hours had passed. Beads of cold sweat had appeared on Merlin's brow. He was almost unable to hold on anymore, and the Illusory World was nearly about to be drawn back into the illusion bead.

"Merlin, you're almost at your limit, you can't hold on for much longer… What a shame, what a shame you haven't achieved an Illusory Heart. Otherwise, you could control both of their spirits and make them kill each other!"

Titus was now shaking his head powerlessly. He understood Merlin well, and knew that Merlin was almost at his limit. The fearsome capabilities of Mind Power Masters could only be truly displayed when one had understood the Illusory Heart. One could then control a person's soul in an unnoticed manner. Such a terrifying technique was not found in any of the foreign civilizations, belonging solely to Mind Power Masters.

Moreover, at the moment, only by cultivating the Mind Power system Titus had created to an advanced stage, would one be able to have such an incredible technique.

"Illusory Heart?"

Merlin shook his head. If, in terms of the first main stage, Hallucinating spells, he had some understanding and experience. In terms of the Illusory Heart, he had not the faintest idea. It was a completely unfamiliar domain. Even if he had communicated frequently with Titus, he still could not understand the Illusory Heart.

"I can't hold on anymore, Alcra!"

Merlin could not help but yell at Alcra. However, after shouting a few times, Alcra remained unmoving as if he was already wholly immersed in absorbing the Elemental Origin.

Merlin frowned as the strain on his Mind Power grew heavier. If he forced himself to go on, it would damage his Mind Heart. The Mind Heart of Mind Power Masters was just as important as the Spell Models of Spell Casters. It must not be damaged in the slightest.

Therefore, Merlin was considering rousing Alcra by force when suddenly, a massive vortex appeared above the canopy of the giant tree which was Alcra's true form.

This vortex expanded more and more, sweeping away the wind and clouds, causing Alcra's true form to tremble violently.

"Rumble."

The skyscraping tree swayed wildly, its dense leaves and branches shuddering constantly. They glimmered with a green light, which enveloped the nine Tree Saplings beside Alcra.

"Fuse!"

A cold voice rang out. Merlin could sense that Alcra was currently undergoing tremendous pressure. As soon as he spoke, the thick trunks of the nine Tree Saplings were engulfed in the green light, and they were slowly fused into Alcra's true body.

Each time a fusion took place, Alcra's colossal tree body would grow significantly.

One, two, tree Saplings…

Soon enough, all nine Tree Saplings were fused into Alcra's body. Alcra's present form was so gigantic that it was hard to imagine. Almost every movement of his would affect the entire dimension.

Merlin even had the feeling that if Alcra erupted in full strength and struck a blow, he could break the dimension into pieces. This was a true indicator for only one who had achieved the power of a Great Legend could smash an entire dimension. Only a Great Legend could thoroughly destroy a dimension.

"He's succeeded?"

Merlin was now unable to tear his nervous gaze away from Alcra. After getting to know Alcra, Merlin learned that Alcra had sacrificed so much to become an upper rank Tree Folk, having stayed in the open territory for hundreds of years.

As a second-generation Tree Folk, Alcra had to bear an unprecedented burden of pressure and pride!

"Boom."

The skyscraping tree trembled slightly, following which a green ball of light rapidly transformed into a human figure.

"Wizard Merlin, thank you for holding them off for so long. You took both of them on by yourself. Let me take care of the rest!"

Upon hearing Alcra's words, Merlin finally let out a long sigh of relief. Of course, he knew by now that Alcra had succeeded, finally becoming the foremost genius Tree Folk in the Tree Tribe civilization.

Merlin had maintained the illusion through painstaking effort, and thus did not demur. He immediately retracted the Illusory World. Instantly, Tuota and the Ancestor-level Rock Creature recovered their senses.

Both of their faces revealed a sense of amazement but even more than that was an expression of murderous intent.

"What a powerful Hallucinating spell! However, you must've been unable to keep it up for long due to some reason. Now, you're all going to die!"

The Ancestor-level Rock Creature was utterly angered this time. Under the force of his rage, his body emanated a frightening force, which practically whipped up a storm.

Tuota was racing toward Merlin as he roared in fury as well. Two existences on par with Legends now intended to kill Merlin.

"Snap."

Suddenly, a sharp cracking sound rang out. Thick roots immediately wound around the Giant Tuota before they flung him away. What made Tuota even more afraid was that this force seemed to have caused trivial injuries to his vital organs.

The force of Alcra's throw was enough to harm the giant Tuota. This was something only a Great Legend could do!

"You… You've become an upper rank Tree Folk?"

Tuota knew about Alcra. In fact, in the open territory, many people knew Alcra's identity. As a second-generation Tree Folk, he was directly split from the Mother Tree, and had extreme potential. He was even dubbed as the strongest existence below the Tree Kings in the Tree Tribe civilization.

Many foreign tribes knew that Alcra had been trying to fuse with his nine Tree Saplings, becoming the foremost genius among the Tree Tribe who would be able to challenge beyond his own rank. It had been so many years that many people felt as if Alcra could not possibly succeed. However, after Alcra had sent Tuota flying in a single move, the question was evidently answered.

"An upper rank Tree Folk?"

This Ancestor-level Rock Creature's face immediately turned gloomy. Of course, he knew what Alcra's transformation signified. At such a critical moment, Alcra had a breakthrough.

"Swoosh."

Another thick twisting root shot toward the Ancestor-level Rock Creature. This Rock Creature dared not hold back, and pointed with one hand. His finger instantly turned into a black rock finger, filled with immense weight.

"Crack."

The rock finger clashed against Alcra's root, resulting in the shattering of the finger, which broke into pieces. As for Alcra's root, it had no strength left as well. They were equally matched.

The Ancestor-level Rock Creature felt a jolt in his heart. This time, he had ascertained that Alcra had really broken through. The finger that was just shattered rapidly grew out. To this Ancestor-level Rock Creature, this damage was not even an actual injury.

"I remember you, Blackroth. Now I've joined forces with Merlin. Do you still wish to fight?"

Alcra glared unwaveringly at the Ancestor-level Rock Creature. Evidently, he knew this Rock Creature, named Blackroth, who was a Rock Creature in the open territory at the level of a Great Legend.

Blackroth glanced at Merlin and Alcra. He was very apprehensive toward Merlin's Hallucinating spell. Now that Merlin had joined forces with Alcra, Merlin was still incapable of hurting him but Alcra could very well harm him!

"Is that so? Alcra, Tuota and I can take you on together, and you can't hurt me that much in a blow. However, this Spell Caster, can he still trap us in an illusion?"

Blackroth smiled coolly. As an Ancestor-level Rock Creature, although he was slightly afraid, he would not fear Alcra who had just broken through.

"Huh?"

However, as soon as Blackroth spoke, his body suddenly let out a dreadful force, which even suppressed the entire dimension. An apparition of a giant face, dignified and imposing, floated before Blackroth.

"I, the Rock Progenitor, command all Ancestor-level Rock Creatures to return to the ancestral land at the greatest speed possible!"

Upon seeing this giant apparition of the face, Blackroth's expression was one of incomparable respect and fervor.

Very soon, the giant face vanished, and Blackroth merely gave Merlin and Alcra a glance as he said gruffly, "Count yourselves lucky. The Progenitor had ordered us to return to our Ancestral Land!"

With that, Blackroth gave Merlin a deep look before turning away. He left the Firecloud Dimension without even a backward glance, leaving behind Merlin and Alcra who exchanged dismayed looks.

"What has happened with the Rock Tribe?"

Merlin and Alcra looked at each other, filled with puzzlement. Soon enough, Merlin's Spatial Ring began to shudder forcefully as well.

"Merlin, quickly return to Arcane City! This is the command of the Ultimate Arcane Wizards. All Spell Casters of Arcane City and all Great Legends must return to Arcane City!"

The avatar of the Legend Zado left behind in the Spatial Ring suddenly opened his eyes and spoke to Merlin frantically.

Chapter 610: Ninth-level Spell Caster!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The Legend Zado's avatar had come expressly to inform Merlin. This time, it was a command from the Ultimate Arcane Wizard. All the Great Legends in the entire Spell Caster civilization must head to the three great Arcane Cities.

As for Spell Casters from Arcane City, they must return as well. However, as they were not Great Legends, it was perhaps more difficult to get a message to them, and many would not receive the command in time.

Only Great Legends would still be able to receive the Ultimate Arcane Wizard's command even if they were at far-flung places.

"Teacher Zado, what's really going on?"

Merlin could vaguely sense the severity of the situation. It must be something momentous to have moved even the Ultimate Arcane Wizards.

After hesitating slightly, the Legend Zado nodded with a solemn expression. "This matter isn't really a secret because soon, the entire Void Zone will learn about it. War has broken out because the Rock Tribe has become fed up with the standoff in the Seely Dimension. Finally, it's time to attack!"

"The Rock Tribe?

Merlin looked into the direction in which Blackroth had just left. Blackroth had departed from the Firecloud Dimension only because he had suddenly received a message from the Rock Progenitor as well.

"Teacher Zado, I'll hurry back as quickly as I can!"

Merlin nodded, following which the Legend Zado's avatar was placed into the Spatial Ring once more.

Alcra was staring coldly at Tuota. "So? Tuota, you still wish to fight over the Firecloud Dimension?"

Tuota shot a look at Merlin and Alcra, knowing that by himself he was no match for them both by far. After a pause, he finally decided not to stay in the Firecloud Dimension, and instantly turned to leave.

The Firecloud Dimension was quiet once again. Although Alcra had absorbed part of the dimension's Elemental Origin, its core was not harmed at all, and it could still be used as a foundation for Merlin to develop his dimension.

"Wizard Merlin, the Firecloud Dimension is no longer of much use to me. From the looks of it, you're about to leave the open territory and return to the Spell Caster civilization. I'll help you guard the Saitu Dimension and the Firecloud Dimension for at least a thousand years in order to develop your Spell Caster civilization."

This was something Alcra had thought about deeply. By now, he had gained strength comparable to a Great Legend and could guard a dimension. He knew that Merlin wished to expand these two dimensions as a prosperous Spell Caster civilization.

Therefore, he willingly suggested that he would help Merlin guard the dimensions.

Both of them had gone through thick and thin. Earlier, Merlin had used his solo strength to gain more time for Alcra. Only then did Alcra succeed in leveling up to an upper rank Tree Folk. Between them, a profound friendship had been consolidated.

Merlin thought about it for a moment, and finally nodded. At first, according to his plan, he would stay on in the open territory for a long period of time, managing both dimensions. At the same time, he would use the Elemental Origin to slowly understand spells, then at least fuse his Six-Elemental spells or become a Great Wizard.

However, with the command from Arcane City now, his plan was disarranged.

"War… It's a civilization war! I've heard that after the Spell Caster civilization had left the Glorious Land and stepped into the Void Zone, we had gone through countless wars. A war between civilizations is truly frightening. The entire forces of civilization must be gathered!"

After Merlin came to the Void Zone, he gradually learned about the development process of the Spell Caster civilization. Naturally, he knew what this war with the Rock Tribe would mean. If the scale of the war kept increasing, it was likely to become a civilization war.

When two powerful civilizations erupted in war, it was a brutal affair indeed, especially with a civilization like the Rock Tribe. They had two Progenitor-level existences as well, on par with the Ultimate Arcane Wizards, and they were no weaker than the Spell Caster civilization.

"Wizard Merlin, don't worry. Although the Rock Tribe is formidable, don't forget that your Spell Caster civilization is even stronger! The names of the three great Ultimate Arcane Wizards reverberate throughout the entire Void Zone. In a mere three thousand years' time, your Spell Caster civilization has grown to such a powerful stage. Your explosive power is truly astonishing. I believe that the Rock Tribe civilization will soon get a taste of your might, haha!"

Alcra chuckled as he reassured Merlin. Although Alcra had never experienced a civilization war, he was a second-generation Tree Folk, and shared some memories of the Mother Tree.

Therefore, there was some information regarding wars between civilizations in his memory. It was a ruthless affair indeed and included the Mother Tree's observation of the wars between the Spell Caster civilization and other foreign civilizations. In the Mother Tree's assessment, there was a rather favorable judgment of the Spell Caster civilization. If they continued to flourish for thousands and thousands of years, the Spell Caster could even develop to a point where, by their own strength, they could contend against the enormous God Alliance.

Merlin smiled in response, then said, "I'll have to trouble you to look after the Firecloud Dimension and the Saitu Dimension then!"

"Haha, that's a small matter. However, before you leave, Wizard Merlin, you should take control of the Firecloud Dimension's Elemental Origin."

"How about half each? Like how we did in the Saitu Dimension?"

Alcra thought about it for a moment, and nodded at last. Although both of them had stuck together in life-and-death situations, solidifying a deep friendship, there must still be benefits for both sides. Otherwise, a conflict would surely arise.

With that, Merlin and Alcra each gained half of the dimension's controlling rights. Thereafter, Merlin did not stay on in the Firecloud Dimension any longer, and immediately steered the Aurora Ship to leave the open territory, rushing back to Arcane City."My Mind Power should be nearly there…"

In the icy blackness of the Void Zone, Merlin sat in the Aurora Ship and gradually opened his eyes. From the God-Binding Disc, he had absorbed the last remnant of divinity, turning it all into Mind Power.

This had a clear boosting effect on his Mind Power! Merlin's Ninth-level Mind Heart seemed to have no limits but it was exceedingly difficult to grow it further. When he had just broken through, he had been unable to construct all his Ninth-level spells, but now his Mind Power should be more or less sufficient.

There was still a certain length of the journey from the whereabouts of the Rainbow Dimension to Arcane City, so Merlin used this time to focus on absorbing the divinity to increase his Mind Power.

Faced with a situation that might escalate into a merciless civilization war, Merlin dared not treat things lightly. He would advance his own abilities in whatever way he could. After all, in such a war, it was common for Great Legends to be killed in action or even Great Honored Legends. As for Lords, they might die too.

Therefore, Merlin must seize this time to improve his own strength. The easiest and most achievable thing was to construct Ninth-level spells, and become a Ninth-level Spell Caster!

From the Eighth-level to the Ninth-level, Merlin did not use up too much time but this was because Merlin had the Matrix in addition to his Mind Heart which had broken through to the Ninth-level. In addition, he had the divinity to increase his Mind Power. With all these factors aligned, only then was Merlin able to constantly rise through the ranks of Spell Caster in a short time.

However, the Ninth-level was a huge threshold. It was difficult to surmount it. Countless Spell Casters had only ever reached the Ninth-level until they died. Not only that, even some of the foreign tribes who were gifted had the same fate.

As for Alcra, if he had not received Merlin's wholehearted support and assistance in addition to toiling in the open territory for hundreds of years, he would have no way of becoming an upper rank Tree Folk. This was equivalent to becoming a Great Wizard among Spell Casters. Obviously, it was immensely challenging to cross this threshold. If he had crossed over, Merlin could even become a stronger genius than Alcra.

If he could not cross over, Merlin's path would end here. Not even the Matrix would be able to help Merlin.

"Buzz."

Merlin's body shuddered. The first spell had been successfully simulated but following that was the second spell, the third spell…

The function of the Matrix had been utilized to its maximum. In a short time, it helped Merlin to progress constantly. In the eyes of other Spell Casters, this was something inconceivable.

"Crack!"

Merlin pinched the elemental crystal stones to dust. Instantly, intense waves of Elements were absorbed by the Spell Models in Merlin's body. They were quickly turned into pure Magic Power.

Constructing spells, absorbing elemental crystal stones… In this unending cycle, the force of Merlin's body grew increasingly vigorous, along with an oppressive force.

"Boom."

At last, after the final Darkness-type spell had been constructed, Merlin opened his eyes and grabbed a fistful of more than a million elemental crystal stones. This amount of elemental crystal stones would make a lot of people go crazy.

Nonetheless, Merlin did not hesitate in the slightest, and promptly ground these elemental crystal stones. They turned into a thick Elemental mist, and Merlin's body was rapidly submerged in this heavy mist.

"I've succeeded – a Ninth-level Spell Caster! After leaving Arcane City for a few decades, I've actually become a Ninth-level Spell Caster!"

Merlin felt a deep sense of joy welling up in him. He was a Ninth-level Spell Caster, and a Six-Elemental one too. Even within Arcane City, he was one of the best prodigies.

Moreover, from his Fourth-level spells onward, all of Merlin's Spell Models were Perfect-grade. In terms of this number, he had already surpassed that Seven-Elemental Spell Caster, the genius Wizard Nelar from Arcane City! If Merlin returned to Arcane City now and was tested again, he would easily get first place in the spells ranking.

Nevertheless, Merlin had already lost interest in this. Becoming a Ninth-level Spell Caster was basically his limit for the present. Following that, if he wanted to break through further, he would have to fuse Spell Models, and become a Great Wizard or achieve the Illusory World of the Mind Power system.

However, whichever one it was, it would be immensely difficult. Without the right opportunities, and a long period of cultivation, he would not be able to do it.

"Ninth-level spells? I should now be just about able to hurt existences like Tuota, right?"

A fireball appeared in Merlin's hand. This was the beginner spell, Fireball, which was merely a Zero-level spell. However, it contained Ice-type, Wind-type, and Thunder-type spells. This was Merlin's Four-Elemental spell fusion.

Now that he had become a Ninth-level Spell Caster, his abilities had grown significantly. According to his estimations, he could just about injure the weakest Legends.

Still, this was not enough. He was incapable of killing a Great Legend unless he could fuse the Spell Models of these four types of spells, attempting to become a Great Wizard. Only then would he possess the true ability to kill Great Legends. In combination with the Illusory World, Merlin would become a nightmare for most Legends…After eight months, the Aurora Ship gradually slowed down.

"I've reached Arcane City!"

Merlin raised his head, and looked at the gigantic ball of light that was drifting slowly. It had a familiar force for this was Setoh Arcane City 1 of the three great Arcane Cities.

"Whoosh."

Merlin kept the Aurora Ship and flew directly into the giant ball of light. That familiar force and intense Elements instantly wrapped around Merlin.

"I'm back… I still feel most at home in Arcane City!"

Merlin closed his eyes. The Spell Models in his body began to wildly absorb and transform the Elements. After all, his Ninth-level spells required a huge amount of Elements. He was not willing to use only elemental crystals stones to replenish his Magic Power, so his current Ninth-level Spell Models still had not accumulated enough Magic Power.

Upon returning to Arcane City, the first thing he had to do was naturally to restore his Magic Power.

"Wizard Merlin, you're back too?"

A figure suddenly flashed behind Merlin, evidently having just arrived at Arcane City as well.

Chapter 611: Great Wizard Saturn

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

A fat figure scuttled out from behind Merlin. It was one of the few Potential Wizards Merlin had known in Arcane City, Wizard Arrot.

Arrot's plump face was beaming fully, and he said, "It's been so long. Wizard Merlin is finally back."

"Yes, it's been decades…"

Merlin looked closely at Arrot, noticing that his Elemental fluctuations had already reached the Ninth-level. It looked like in the past years, Arrot's progress was not insignificant either.

"Huh? Wizard Merlin, you're no longer a Seventh-level Wizard?"

Arrot could not discern Merlin's current Spell Caster level, and could only sense that there seemed to be a faint oppressive feeling coming from Merlin, making him feel a sense of pressure.

"Arrot, Wizard Merlin's progress is much faster than yours. If I'm not mistaken, Wizard Merlin, you should be a Ninth-level Spell Caster now, right?"

In front of Arrot, came another Spell Caster who smiled as he moved forward. His smile was one of confidence.

"Wizard Saturn, congratulations. It's not common for a Six-Elemental Spell Caster to become a Great Wizard!"

At one glance, Merlin recognized this Spell Caster and his powerful force. It was the Six-Elemental Wizard, who was like Merlin, with extraordinary talents. Moreover, in just a few decades, Saturn had advanced at an incredible pace as well. He had already managed to fuse his Six-Elemental spells, and become a Great Wizard.

It must be known that now Merlin was a Ninth-level Spell Caster, he knew profoundly how difficult it was to fuse Spell Models. It was completely different from spell fusion. Back then, Wizard Midnight who was merely a Five-Elemental Spell Caster had not fused as quickly as Saturn had done.

The plump Wizard Arrot hurriedly told Merlin, "Wizard Merlin, you haven't been in Arcane City these years, so of course you don't know that our batch of Potential Wizards owes so much to Wizard Saturn. After he became a Great Wizard, his powers reached an unimaginable stage, coming infinitely close to a Great Legend. He's dubbed one of the strongest existences below the level of Legends! Heh heh, in Arcane City, Wizard Saturn is fully deserving of the title of the strongest within our batch of Potential Wizards. One time, Wizard Saturn was besieged by five members of a foreign tribe who were comparable to the most preeminent Great Wizards. He killed them all, and even captured one of them alive!"

Upon mentioning Wizard Saturn's past glory, Arrot was like a babbling torrent, talking with excited vigor.

A smile had appeared on Merlin's face. Saturn's progress was rapid indeed. Becoming a Great Wizard successfully was already a unique feat among ten thousand others, to say nothing of being a Six-Elemental Wizard.

Presently, Saturn was like Wizard Kubale whom Merlin had met back in the Inceptive Dimension. Both were Six-Elemental Spell Casters, and even if they were not like Merlin who had so many Perfect-grade spells, once a Six-Elemental Spell Caster had fused all their Spell Models, they became rather fearsome. Instantly, they were one of the mightiest existences beneath Legends.

It was not surprising that Saturn was calm and collected even when dealing with five members of a foreign tribe on par with the most preeminent Great Wizards, and could even capture one of them alive.

"Merlin, you'll surely fuse your Spell Models soon as well. At that point, when you become a Great Wizard, you won't be inferior to me at all!"

Saturn still had such confidence. In the past in Arcane City, he was always secretly measuring himself against Merlin trying to see who was really the foremost genius of Arcane City.

After so many years, he had finally gone through countless hardships to become a Great Wizard, turning into one of the mightiest beings below the Legends. Now, he saw that although Merlin had advanced quickly too to become a Ninth-level Spell Caster, Merlin obviously still had not fused his Spell Models, and had fallen behind Saturn.

As he received Saturn's "encouragement", Merlin simply smiled easily, and did not mind the self-assured tone of Saturn's words.

"Alright, let's go in. I believe that Wizard Merlin has received the message from Arcane City?"

Merlin bobbed his head. "I have indeed but I don't exactly know what happened."

This turn of events had occurred very suddenly. Arrot and Saturn were also hurriedly summoned back. In fact, it was not just Arrot, Saturn, and Merlin. Even some unknown Great Legends had all made their way to Arcane City.

In his short time in Arcane City, Merlin had already bumped into more than ten Great Legends. Previously, when he had stayed in Arcane City for such a long time, he had not even seen this many Legends.

When he noticed how many Legends there were, Merlin and the rest grew somber. Something momentous must have happened, otherwise, there would not be so many Great Legends.

"Swish."

A familiar figure materialized before Merlin.

"Teacher Zado!"

"Legend Zado!"

Arrot and Saturn bowed toward Wizard Zado, who waved his hand lightly. Thereafter, he spoke to Merlin quietly, "Merlin, follow me."

"Yes."

After bidding farewell to Arrot and Saturn, Merlin quickly followed behind Zado. He knew that Zado must have something urgent to say.

After Merlin followed the Legend Zado to the castle. Zado's expression turned even more serious as he said slowly, "Merlin, the Blackfire Lord had followed the Arcane Wizard Setoh to the Seely Dimension. Before he left, the Blackfire Lord had asked me to tell you how dangerous this whole affair is."

"What's really going on? Is it really a civilization war?"

Merlin dew in a deep breath and asked softly.

"A civilization war… Indeed, such a cruel phrase but it's true. This time, it could very well be a civilization war. The Rock Tribe can no longer bear to keep the peace. Beginning with the Seely Dimension, they have been making preparations. At last, not long ago, they started a full-on war. As we weren't ready, things don't look too good. Therefore, the three Ultimate Arcane Wizards finally started to summon all of the Great Legends in the Spell Caster civilization, asking them to each bring Spell Casters above the Seventh-level, to hurry to the frontlines.

"As for Spell Casters from Arcane City, if they're above the Seventh-level, they must also follow Arcane City's arrangement, and rush to the Seely Dimension."

Merlin finally knew the severity of the situation. It was not just a mere civilization war. From the very start, the Spell Caster civilization was already at an absolute disadvantage, leaving the three Great Ultimate Arcane Wizards with no choice but to mobilize the full strength of the Spell Caster civilization. The forces of Arcane City alone were unable to turn things around.

"Teacher Zado, hasn't Arcane Wizard Setoh been keeping watch over the Seely Dimension long ago? With an Arcane Wizard overseeing things, how can the situation be so bad?"

Merlin was somewhat puzzled. Back when the Arcane Wizard Setoh had used his spatial avatar to save Merlin from the Slothful Beast's body, he was already managing the Seely Dimension. Unexpectedly, things still went badly.

The Legend Zado shook his head helplessly as well. "As for what happened exactly, I'm not clear…"

"Bong bong bong."

Just then, a bell tolled deafeningly. This was to gather all the Spell Casters of Arcane City.

"Merlin, go ahead. A war between civilizations is ruthless. Remember, don't try to show off. Even Great Legends, Honored Legends, and Lords might die. All you can do is try your best to survive!"

The Legend Zado's voice was gravely admonishing. Faced with the brutality of a civilization war, not even a Great Lord could afford to let down their guard.

Merlin nodded and took his leave, flying toward the square where the bell was rung.

Chapter 612: A Team of Seven!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

In the public square of Arcane City, Spell Casters stood in tightly packed crowds. At the front were a few Great Honored Legends, behind whom were some Great Legends, and at the back were the Spell Casters of Arcane City.

It was the first time Merlin had seen so many Great Legends gathered together. The terrifying bursts of Elemental fluctuations and force of Maxims practically caused the Spell Models in his body to tremble slightly. This was a natural suppressive effect.

Besides Merlin, some other Spell Casters wore uncomfortable expressions as well. Evidently, they were similarly affected.

"Wizard Merlin, come over here."

Wizard Saturn said to Merlin. Merlin looked at the crowd, which contained Arrot and the rest who had grouped together, so he nodded and headed over.

"Wizard Merlin, what did the Legend Zado say to you? Did he mention anything about the Rock Tribe?"

The plump Wizard Arrot, upon seeing Merlin coming over, asked eagerly.

After a moment of consideration, Merlin felt that it did not matter if he told Saturn and the rest, so he nodded. "The situation is bad indeed. The Rock Tribe has likely prepared for this a long time. I'm afraid that a civilization war is necessary at this point!"

"A civilization war!!!"

Everyone was astounded at this phrase, and countless thoughts flashed across their minds. Who knew how many powerful Spell Casters had been buried behind this phrase?

After Merlin spoke, Saturn and the rest fell silent, unable to speak. The atmosphere became rather stifling.

After a short moment, a vortex appeared above the square. Wild winds spun around as a figure emerged from the center of the vortex.

"Boom."

As soon as this figure appeared, the entire square became restless. Many Honored Legends stared at this figure with trembling gazes.

"Who is he?"

"What a formidable force. Although the space in Arcane City isn't that solid, no one would dare to traverse through space in Arcane City."

Many Wizards did not recognize the figure who had suddenly appeared from the vortex but when Merlin looked, he shuddered fiercely.

"Huh? Wizard Merlin, you know who this is?"

The observant Wizard Saturn seemed to notice the change in Merlin's expression, and questioned softly.

Merlin's eyes were fixed stubbornly on the figure descending from the vortex as he said hoarsely, "If I'm not wrong, he must be the wind avatar of the Arcane Wizard Setoh!"

"Arcane Wizard Setoh?"

When Saturn, Arrot, and the rest heard Merlin's reply, their mouths fell open, and their eyes shone with an incredulous light.

"It must be the wind avatar of the Arcane Wizard Setoh! It's rumored that the Arcane Wizard Setoh has many avatars, and this is one of them!"

Merlin continued speaking. The one who had gone to the Slothful Beast to save Merlin was the Arcane Wizard Setoh's spatial avatar. As for the Arcane Wizard Setoh's real body, he must be overseeing things at the actual frontlines.

When the Arcane Wizard Setoh's avatar landed, the entire square burst into an uproar. The Ultimate Arcane Wizard was a pillar of the entire Spell Caster civilization, and the three Great Arcane Wizards served as the guardians of the Spell Caster civilization.

The Arcane Wizard Setoh was one of the three Great Arcane Wizards, the final one to become an Ultimate Arcane Wizard. Nonetheless, his level of prestige was not any lesser compared to the other two Arcane Wizards. In fact, he was the one who suggested the establishment of the three great Arcane Cities.

Therefore, only did the Spell Caster civilization flourish from day to day.

"Everyone!"

Although this was simply an avatar of the Arcane Wizard Setoh, to the crowds of Spell Casters in the square, he was no different from the real body as he still represented the Ultimate Arcane Wizard.

"Everyone, I've summoned you here today. I believe everyone has already learned of the news. The Rock Tribe has already erupted in vicious conflict against our Spell Caster civilization in the frontlines of the Seely Dimension, and we've lost a few dimensions in succession! Therefore, Spell Casters above the level of Legends should each return and gather Spell Casters above the Seventh-level, and hurry to the frontlines where the Seely Dimension is, in the shortest time possible! I hope everyone keeps in mind that this is a real war, and is likely to develop into a civilization war!"

"Rumble."

Even the Great Legends were now feeling flabbergasted. In the stories of all civilizations, a "civilization war" was something terrifying and brutal.

Following that, these Great Legends took their leave, each returning to their own dimension to begin rounding up Spell Casters above the Seventh-level. When these Great Legends had gone away, news of the war that had erupted between the Spell Caster civilization and the Rock Tribe civilization would quickly be spread.

After the Great Legends left, the square was only left with a small group. These were Spell Casters of Arcane City. They had been summoned by the Arcane Wizards through various methods. Perhaps some still had not gotten the message while some were still on their way back but there should not be many left. Most of the Potential Wizards of Arcane City were now congregated in the square.

The Arcane Wizard Setoh looked toward these Potential Wizards in the square, and his voice boomed impressively, filled with gravity, "You're all Potential Wizards of Arcane City, the most outstanding Spell Casters among the infinite dimensions. At first you're the future of our Spell Caster civilization. However, a war between civilizations has begun. As a member of the Spell Casters, you should contribute your strength. Potential Wizards above the Seventh-level must head to the frontlines and enter the fight! Nonetheless, you can form your own teams. After two hours, I'll personally send you to the frontlines."

"Two hours?"

Many Spell Casters felt that this was far too short a time but with this command from the Arcane Wizard, they dared not delay any longer. Many Spell Casters began to team up with Wizards with whom they were mutually acquainted.

Some groups had only two or three while others had seven to eight.

"Wizard Merlin, I, Arrot, Wizard Rael, Olga, Seddon, Vic – seven of us in a team. What do you think?"

Merlin carefully looked at them. These Wizards were the ones with the best abilities among the same batch, and could be considered the strongest combination!

Both Saturn and Rael were most preeminent Great Wizards, Saturn in particular, who was the strongest existence beneath Legends. As for Vic, Seddon, and Olga, three of them were exceptional too, all having fused their Spell Models to become Great Wizards. In one leap, they had become beings on par with peak Great Wizards.

Presently, judged solely on Spell Caster level, only Arrot and Merlin were slightly inferior, being Ninth-level Spell Casters.

"Haha, with seven of us, if we're at the frontlines, we'll surely be the scariest team. Two preeminent Great Wizards, and three peak Great Wizards. Even if Arrot and Merlin aren't Great Wizards for now, once they are, Wizard Merlin would be the most preeminent Great Wizard, even the mightiest existence below Legends! Arrot can become a peak Great Wizard too. With power like this, I bet the Rock Tribe would be frightened out of their wits, haha…"

Wizard Rael was as forthright as ever, showing not the slightest sign of unhappiness over the fact that Arrot and Merlin were merely Ninth-level Spell Casters.

"Very well, we'll do it this way then. We'll form a team, and support and assist each other. First, we'd better sign a contract!"

Saturn immediately took out a sheet of contract paper. When Spell Casters formed a team, no matter how close they were, only by signing a contract would they really be united in heart and mind. Otherwise, troubles were bound to arise, especially when joining in a war against foreign tribes, which meant they would be faced with constant danger.

"Okay, we'll sign a contract! We voluntarily form a team. We'll support and assist each other. Between team members, no matter what the situation, no one must be abandoned…"

The stipulations of the contract were detailed. Evidently, Saturn, Rael, and the rest were very experienced. Conversely, for Merlin, when he looked at this contract, he felt that it hugely differed from the contents of the oath of the Ultimate Order between foreign tribes in the open territory.

The biggest difference was that, between team members, no one was left behind. No matter what danger they were facing, they must face it together!

"Wizard Merlin, is there anything else you'd like to add?"

Saturn saw that Merlin was lost in thought, and asked softly.

"This contract is well drawn up. There's nothing else I wish to add."

Following that, Merlin extracted a portion of his Mind Power, and signed the contract. Instantly, seven of them were bound by the contract. From now on, they would battle side by side for a very long time.

"Alright, the two hours are up. Everyone, follow me."

The square boomed with the voice of the Ultimate Arcane Wizard once more. Following that, he stretched out one hand and an extremely enormous flying ship appeared. It flickered with many Runic Magic Circles and was more than a hundred times bigger than Merlin's Aurora Ship.

Moreover, what was significant was that it carried the force of a Maxim. This was a casting tool that was far more powerful than anything Merlin had ever seen.

"Absorb!"

A vortex appeared on the giant flying ship and immediately stretched to the square. The teeming crowds of Potential Wizards were sucked onto the flying ship. There was no lack of preeminent Great Wizards among these Potential Wizards but they too were unable to resist at all.

"Boom."

With that, the flying ship shuddered, and started to leave Arcane City slowly, flying into the black, icy depths of the Void Zone.

Within the flying Ship, Merlin looked at his surroundings. He was with Saturn and the rest.

"Teacher Zado, we Potential Wizards have strong abilities but we can't compare to Great Legends. What meaning is there in sending us to the frontlines for us to join the civilization war?"

At last, Merlin could not help but put this question to the Maxim avatar of the Legend Zado in his Spatial Ring. From his perspective, no matter how many Ninth-level Spell Casters or Great Wizards, they would not be much of influence against Great Legends.

He did not think that with these few Great Wizards, even preeminent ones, they would be able to defeat a Great Legend. In the open territory, Nestia, Kubale, and Luca were all the mightiest existences below Legends but they were crushed by a single palm of a mysterious Giant King.

The disparity between Legends and those below them was gargantuan. This was not something that could be remedied by a sheer number unless they were the most demonic genius Spell Casters like Alcra or Tuota. Nonetheless, in the entire Tree Tribe civilization, there was only one Alcra.

"Hehe, what purpose, you ask? All of you serve a great function. If you perform well, and thoroughly suppress the Rock Tribe, this war of civilizations might not necessarily take place!"

The Legend Zado's face was calm, and his eyes probed into Merlin's meaningfully. Conversely, Merlin felt even more baffled.

"We might not have to fight?"

Legend Zado saw Merlin's puzzled face, and continued to explain, "It's simple. It's not that easy for fights between civilizations to blow up. Although the Rock Tribe has prepared for a long time, they're still afraid. Our Spell Caster civilization isn't a weak civilization. If both sides really suffer losses, other foreign tribes will not be polite."

"That's why at this stage, neither of the Great Legends of both sides have truly got involved. Those fighting at the front line are all below Legends. It was something tacitly agreed by both sides. The Rock Tribe has developed over the years, and feel like their strength is already very strong, which is why they'll make further moves. However, if our Spell Caster civilization completely suppresses them in a battle with Spell Casters below Legend, do you think they'll continue to take risks?"

Merlin then realized that the situation had not developed to such a terrible point. Great Legends had not really intervened yet, and the civilization war had not truly broken out.

Otherwise, if the civilization war broke out, Great Legends, Honored, Legends, Lords, and even the great Ultimate Arcane Wizards would take action. Countless dimensions would be crushed in an instant. At that time, both sides would definitely suffer losses.

Thus, controlling the situation and completely suppressing the Rock Tribe while it was below Legend level became the best choice for the Ultimate Arcane Wizards. It was not surprising that all Potential Wizards of the Three Great Arcane Wizards were transferred. After all, the Potential Wizards in Arcane City were extremely gifted. Many preeminent Great Wizards were in Arcane City.

Merlin could even foresee that with the arrival of Arcane City's Potential Wizards, the unfavorable situation at the front line would definitely be reversed.

Knowing the general situation at the front line, Merlin was completely relieved. Then, he extended his Mind Power into the Illusory World, where Titus had been waiting for him for a long time.

"How is it? Isn't the power of the Illusory World great? Unfortunately, your Mind Power is too weak… Your state is too low and unable to exert the full power of the Illusory World."

Titus shook his head helplessly.

"Titus, I'm here today to tell you that it's very likely that a civilization war will break out between the Spell Caster civilization and the Rock Tribe civilization!"

"What? A civilization war?"

Titus was also shocked. He understood clearly what a civilization war meant.

"That's right, a civilization war! That's why I want you to explain the Illusory Heart in detail…"

Merlin's current power had already been increased to the limit. It was impossible for it to increase any further in a short amount of time. Thus, he could only exchange experience with Titus.

Even though Arcane Wizards Setoh's flying ship was very fast, it would still take a long while before they could reach the Seely Dimension. The many Spell Casters on the flying ship were all silently making preparations.

Merlin also thought about the energy stored inside the Matrix that had almost been completely consumed after constructing six Ninth-level spells. The Matrix's greatest use was to construct Spell Models. It had helped Merlin all the way up to a Ninth-level Spell Caster.

However, afterward, everything would rest on Merlin's shoulders. The Matrix was no longer a big help to Merlin anymore. No matter if it were combined Spell Models to become a Great Wizard or perfecting the Mind Power system, the Matrix was no longer helpful."Rumble."

The gigantic flying ship shook, causing the Potential Wizards on it to be startled. When they went to look, they saw a dimension emitting white light.

"We've reached the Alabaster Dimension, the closest dimension to the Seely Dimension."

Saturn also stood up. He was more familiar with the Seely Dimension.

The huge flying ship slowly flew into the Alabaster Dimension. Over the dimension, there were many Spell Casters shuttling back and forth. However, they were all below Legends but above the Seventh-level.

These Spell Casters were all in groups of three to five and seemed to all be heading toward the Seely Dimension.

"Alright, we've arrived at the Alabaster Dimension. As Spell Casters of our Arcane City, you're naturally different. Now, there are ten dimensions that are caught up in the war with the Rock Tribe, including the Seely Dimension. For the time being, Legends from both sides haven't involved yet. What you need to do is exert your best to expel the Rock Tribe, and prevent them from occupying the dimension. This is likely to be a very difficult battle but we'll definitely emerge victorious!"

Then, Arcane Wizard Setoh announced the punishment method. Recruiting these Potential Wizards to the front line was not a request but an order. If they did not enter the front line dimensions within a month, they would receive punishment. This punishment was extremely severe, and with repeated offenses, one would be denied their rights as a Spell Caster, and have the Spell Models in their bodies crushed.

By depriving Magic Power, they would become an ordinary person. Although it was not death, it was a punishment that scared Spell Casters even more than death. Therefore, when Arcane Wizard Setoh finished speaking, most Potential Wizards left one after another, and prepared to enter the front line dimensions.

"Wizard Saturn, which dimension are we going to?"

Arrot took out a few free dimension maps. They were all dimensions in the front line, and were distributed free-of-charge by Arcane City. There were about eighteen dimensions that were caught up in the war. Thirteen of them were dimensions previously controlled by the Spell Caster organization.

Seeing this dimension map, Saturn and the others' expression became grim.

"How did we lose so many dimensions?"

Wizard Rael could not help but say lowly.

"It can't be helped. The Rock Tribe has prepared for a long time, and we neglected to take precautions. It's normal to lose a few dimensions in the beginning. However, we're not giving up on these dimensions. We'll still fight for them. Wizard Saturn, which are you planning to choose?"

Arrot muttered a question.

Among these dimensions, many dimensions were already completely occupied by the Rock Tribe. They were even transformed to be a dimension suitable for the Rock Tribe to survive. There were no Elements, and was very disadvantageous to Spell Casters.

"Everyone, we're different from your run-of-the-mill Spell Casters. As Potential Wizards from Arcane City, it's our first time to the front line. Hehe, it's not the first time we've encountered foreign tribes before. Since we need to fight, then let's make it a big one. What about the Seely Dimension? It's a dimension long since occupied by the Rock Tribe, and has been transformed into a Rock Tribe dimension. However, it's the heart of the numerous dimensions in the front line. Once we hold the Seely Dimension, we'll be holding the initiative of the war situation."

Saturn pointed directly at the Seely Dimension. As the proud Saturn, he naturally would not remain a nobody in the civilization war. His aim was the Seely Dimension from the start.

Arrot had just gone out to collect information before seeing Saturn point at the Seely Dimension. He then explained, "The Seely Dimension has been completely transformed by the Rock Tribe. There are no Elements left. Even if we occupy it, it's a barren dimension! However, we aren't giving up on the Seely Dimension. After all, the Seely Dimension is the Center Dimension of the front lines, and the other dimensions also regard the Seely Dimension as their core. Therefore, occupying the Seely Dimension really can affect the situation of the war… However, the Rock Tribe naturally knows how important the Seely Dimension is. There are many strong members both from the Rock Tribe and our Spell Caster civilization there. They'll be very difficult to deal with."

Rael laughed and declared, "Haha, the Seely Dimension is good. We went to the Seely Dimension the previous time, so it's like going down memory lane this time! Besides, Saturn has also said that we're Potential Wizards of Arcane City. We're the cream of the crop of the Spell Caster civilization. With our team's strength, we belong to the top of the battlefield. It's nothing much to get involved in the battle for the Seely Dimension."

With the stance of two preeminent Great Wizards, Saturn, and Rael, the others also naturally agreed.

Seeing that no one had opposed, Saturn revealed a smile. "Very good, since everyone has agreed, we'll set off immediately. Our objective — the Seely Dimension! We'll let the Rock Tribe know that we, Arcane City, is coming!"

Chapter 614: First Battle

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

When Merlin, Saturn, and five others arrived at the Seely Dimension, they could not believe the scene before them.

Yellow sand danced, and the ground was covered solid boulders like glaciers. Solid rocks piled up one after another, and even the huge mountain peaks were piled up with rocks.

Moreover, the terrifying part was that these rocks were like living creatures and could grow like plants. Some plants had already become rock flowers or rock trees, and they were icy cold. It was like a deathly still world.

This was a world after the Rock Tribe had transformed it. There were no Elements here in the Seely Dimension at all, only rocks that looked icy cold.

The Rock Tribe was a tribe without life. They did not require a dimension with life. The dimensions they lived in were all cold worlds like this one. This suited them the most.

These cold rocks would slowly give birth to another Rock Tribe in the future. This was the basis of the continuation of the Rock Tribe. They were slowly born from countless rocks in the dimensions over a long period of time.

"D*mn it, the Seely Dimension has been reduced to this state. Even if we control the Seely Dimension in the future, we won't be able to survive here."

Arrot's expression darkened as he cursed lowly.

Saturn's expression was not good either. He looked around and said, "Even if it's useless, we need to control the Seely Dimension. Otherwise, even more dimensions will be transformed into cold worlds like this by the Rock Tribe! Saving the Seely Dimension means saving even more of our dimensions!"

Everyone nodded. This was also the fundamental reason why there was such a fierce battle between both sides over the Seely Dimension. The Seely Dimension was a pedal in which more Spell Caster dimensions could be reached. Therefore, no matter what, the Seely Dimension could not be lost.

The Seely Dimension was vast yet there was no figure in sight and no signs of life. The Wizards all flew toward a mountain range.

Suddenly, a small hill appeared in front of them. However, when they had passed it, they discovered that it was not a hill but a gigantic tomb. Written on a stone-carved tablet in front of it were the words "Tomb of the Seely people"!

Although the words inscribed into this ghastly tombstone were simple, anyone would understand without a detailed introduction that under this small hill, no one knew how many bodies were buried.

The Seely people were all born in the Seely Dimension. Unfortunately, the Seely people did not walk out of the dimension like the Spell Caster civilization, and step into the Void Zone. They did not become a powerful civilization, and were left at the mercy of the Rock Tribe and the Spell Caster civilization.

Like Spell Casters, the Seely people were a living tribe, so they were naturally opposed to the Rock Tribe. After the Rock Tribe transformed the Seely Dimension, the Seely people were no longer able to survive, and thousands upon thousands of Seely people died. This was one of the sorrows of a weak civilization.

"There are still a few people left from the Seely Dimension who were sent to other Spell Caster civilizations. A few geniuses among them had even become Great Wizards and joined the Spell Caster civilization in the fight against the Rock Tribe. However, their homes can't be restored…"

Hearing Arrot's words, everyone seemed to quiet down. The atmosphere became somewhat depressing.

"If we can't suppress the Rock Tribe, then we Spell Casters might also follow in the steps of the Seely people…"

Saturn's low voice jolted their hearts awake. Perhaps they still had relaxed moods when first arriving at the front line.

However, now, Merlin and the others felt heavy. This was very possibly a civilization war. From the perspective of civilizations and tribes, both parties were not in the wrong. They were just trying to develop their own civilization, and fight for a place to survive.

There was no right or wrong but there were standpoints. Therefore, this battle was doomed to be a very cruel war!

"Arrot, where do we go now?"

Saturn asked Arrot, who had collected a lot of information regarding the Seely Dimension.

"We should head East now. The Southeast is where our Spell Casters are the most active. Many Spell Casters will go to the Northeast after entering the Seely Dimension. The Rock Tribe's defenses are generally the strongest in the North, and there are also a few powerful Rock Creatures there. Generally, the situation of our Spell Casters in the Seely Dimension doesn't look optimistic."

Arrot frowned while speaking.

"Not optimistic? That's because the Spell Casters from our Arcane City hadn't arrived! We'll head North. We'll expel those Rock Creatures, and re-occupy the Seely Dimension. We'll just keep heading North!"

Saturn's tone was full of determination and arrogance. Almost every Spell Caster who was Potential Wizard from Arcane City were extremely prideful, especially in front of other Spell Casters.

The Spell Caster civilization's situation was in a bad situation in the Seely Dimension, causing Saturn and the others to feel discontented. As proud Potential Wizards from Arcane City, and forming such a strong team, they were also eager to sweep the Rock Tribe away before the Legends got involved, and regain control of the Seely Dimension.

"What do you think?"

Saturn asked Rael and the others. Although Rael and Saturn still had a competitive relationship, now, Saturn was the strongest being below Legends. He was entirely worthy of being the leader of the group.

"Haha, I don't have any opinions. Legends from both sides haven't involved themselves yet, so who else can stand up to us?"

"Indeed. We'll head North and directly expel the Rock Tribe!"

Those who were able to enter Arcane City were all very confident. The seven of them as a group had two preeminent Great Wizards and three peak Great Wizards. With such a team, as long as Legends were not involved, they could be considered to be the finest team, able to sweep everything away.

"Alright, since everyone has agreed, we'll head North!"

Saturn waved his hand, and everyone started to fly toward the North.

After flying for around an hour, a huge noise suddenly sounded from the front, accompanied by intense Elemental fluctuations. The wind roared wildly, and fiery red lights shot up to the sky.

"What a powerful Elemental fluctuation. It must be one of our Spell Caster teams engaging with the Rock Tribe. Everyone, let's hurry!"

Saturn raised his head to look at the red lights in the sky. The Elemental fluctuations were just like guiding lights to the Spell Casters. Thus, they sped up and flew to the direction of the Elemental fluctuation.At the foot of an empty hill were five Spell Casters with disheveled hair, looking very pitiful.

Among the five Spell Casters, three were Great Wizards. They were not ordinary Great Wizards but relatively powerful Great Wizards, second only to peak Great Wizards.

The other two were Ninth-level Spell Casters. They were both female Wizards but they seemed to be particularly proficient in runes. These two female Ninth-level Wizards were arranging a Runic Magic Circle, protecting the five of them.

However, even so, their current situation was quite precarious. They were faced with hundreds of Rock Creatures led by five Rock Creatures comparable to peak Great Wizards.

In the Seely Dimension, the Rock Tribe had already occupied an absolute advantage in numbers. After all, they had prepared for a long time, and the Spell Casters' strongest force, like Arcane City, had not arrived at the front line yet.

"Hold on a little longer. I've already sent out a signal. I believe there'll definitely be reinforcements."

A white-robed Wizard among the five Spell Casters gnashed his teeth, obviously under great pressure. Outside were countless Rock Creatures frantically attacking, especially the five Rock Creatures that were comparable to peak Great Wizards. Each time they pounded the Runic Magic Circle, it seemed that it would cause the Runic Magic Circle to sway as if it could collapse at any moment.

"Reinforcements? How could there be reinforcements? In the Seely Dimension, all Spell Caster teams are fighting for themselves. The difference in strength between us and the Rock Tribe is just too great. There won't be reinforcements coming for us…"

Another Spell Caster said with a look of despair.

The atmosphere immediately became dreary. Indeed, they had heard of too many teams that were destroyed in the Seely Dimension. Now, they were about to become one of those teams.

"Ka-cha."

Fine cracks finally appeared on the Runic Magic Circle, and spread rapidly. The Runic Magic Circle looked like a spider web at that time, with many cracks spreading across it.

The two female Wizards paled, and said in trembling voices, "It won't hold on. The Runic Magic Circle can't take it anymore!"

"It won't hold on? Then, we'll fight. It'll be our last stand…"

The three Great Wizards made their preparations. The Elemental fluctuations on their bodies faintly stirred up violent winds.

"Wait, leader, we seem to have reinforcements. There are seven Spell Caster fluctuations behind us. A Spell Caster team came for us!"

The two female Wizards suddenly cried out, a trace of joy revealing themselves on their faces.

"There's a Spell Caster team?"

The three Great Wizards looked behind, and sure enough, seven Spell Casters appeared behind them, swiftly heading toward them.

"It's only seven Wizards… They should be a team that just happened to be nearby. We'll hold on for a little longer. Their numbers are few but these Rock Creatures are incredibly strong. It won't be easy for us to escape from these Rock Creatures!"

The three Great Wizards did not dare to relax. They were very clear that their team was considered to be relatively powerful among the Spell Caster teams in the Seely Dimension. The team coming to help them might not be too strong, and might only be able to barely attract some of the Rock Creatures' attention. If they wanted to break through, they would still have to rely on themselves!

Very quickly, seven unfamiliar Spell Casters approached the five surrounded Spell Casters. The Rock Tribe sent two Rock Creatures comparable to peak Great Wizards, leading a total of thirty Rock Creatures to pounce on the unfamiliar Spell Caster team.

"Haha, it really is the Rock Tribe! Saturn, it's the first time we're meeting Rock Creatures. Allow me."

Wizard Rael had an expression of eagerness. Saturn glanced at the thirty Rock Creatures, two of which were Rock Creatures comparable to peak Great Wizards. Although they could be considered strong, to a preeminent Great Wizard like Rael, it was nothing at all.

Therefore, Saturn nodded and said, "Wizard Rael, this is our first fight. Make it a swift victory!"

"Haha, don't worry."

Saying that, Rael went ahead to face the enemies alone.

"Is he mad? There are two Rock Creatures comparable to peak Great Wizards"

"He must be a Spell Caster who had just arrived in the Seely Dimension, and thinks that these Rock Creatures are as weak as the foreign tribes that they usually kill in border areas… They're finished. Even if they don't die, they'll suffer heavy losses. We'll have to find a way out by ourselves."

Seeing the unfamiliar Spell Caster team suddenly send one Spell Caster to fight, the five Spell Casters felt cold. There were too many Spell Casters who had underestimated the Rock Tribe, and led to the collapse of the entire team.

Only after experiencing several deadly battles would a Spell Caster finally understand how cruel this war was.

However, just as they finished speaking, from that lone Spell Caster body, a gigantic Fireball emerged from the sky like a palm blocking out the sky. There were even Wind-type, Ice-type, and other Elements fused inside it.

"Boom."

When the palm fell, everyone could not help but feel shocked as if the palm had slapped the bottom of their hearts.

The five Spell Casters openly gaped, and stared dumbstruck at the "reckless" figure who "did not know the immensity between heaven and earth".

With just one palm, the thirty Rock Creatures on the ground were completely crushed into powder. They scattered in the breeze with just a gentle blow…

"A preeminent Great Wizard. He's a preeminent Great Wizard! Haha, what kind of reinforcement Spell Caster team did we encounter?"

The eyes of the five Spell Casters glazed over before, but now, they became extremely enthusiastic.

Chapter 615: Sweep Away I

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

"Haha, these Rock Creatures aren't that bad. I thought they'd have some formidable abilities that make them unable to be killed…"

Wizard Rael rubbed his bald head. For some unknown reason, ever since Wizard Rael started combining Spell Models and succeeded in becoming a preeminent Great Wizard, his hair had been decreasing. In the end, Rael simply shaved off his hair and became bald but it added a fierce touch to him.

Specifically, when he crushed thirty Rock Creatures with one palm, it made others feel overwhelmed.

Saturn and the others were not surprised. One preeminent Great Wizard could go against ten peak Great Wizards or even more. After all, an ordinary Spell Caster could only reach peak Great Wizard if they cultivated step by step. They needed extremely high gifts and destiny to become a preeminent Great Wizard.

The remaining seventy Rock Creatures now focused on Wizard Rael's figure. Rael wanted to act again but was stopped by Saturn, who smiled and said, "Rael, you've done your part in the first battle. Let me handle the rest."

Without waiting for Rael to respond, Saturn pointed a finger, and a vortex formed by highly condensed Wind Elementals instantly appeared in the air.

The vortex was also quite mysterious. It was as if it was alive. It breathed continuously, contracting, and expanding ten times in a row before suddenly rumbling and swelling. A dazzling fiery red light accompanied the terrifying shock wave, heading toward the seventy Rock Creatures.

"Crack."

These Rock Creatures, without the slightest resistance, were all blown to pieces instantly by Wizard Saturn's attack. They were directly annihilated and crumbled into ashes which scattered away.

Seventy Rock Creatures disappeared in the blink of an eye. Even Wizard Rael's speed was not that quick. This also indirectly proved that Saturn really was stronger than Wizard Rael. Although they were both preeminent Great Wizards, Saturn was right below Legends, and was an extremely powerful being!

"Wizard Saturn, Wizard Rael, you two took all the limelight. We haven't done anything at all but there's already nothing left…"

Wizard Vic and the others swiftly flew over and shook their heads after seeing the fine powder on the ground.

"Haha, there'll be more chances later. However, these Rock Creatures really aren't that strong!"

Saturn was the strongest being under Legends, so he naturally felt that these Rock Creatures were not strong. For Rock Creatures like these, even a thousand or ten thousand of them were of no threat to him.

"Everyone, don't let your guard down. This Rock Tribe team was, at best, a relatively stronger group in the Seely Dimension. They're not the most powerful!"

The five Spell Casters at the side returned to their senses. They immediately went over when they had heard Saturn and the others mention that the Rock Creatures were not strong.

Saturn and the others seemed to only just recall that there were other Spell Casters, and directed their attention toward the five Spell Casters.

These five Spell Casters felt a little uncomfortable but they adjusted their mood quickly, knowing that this team in front of them was terrifyingly powerful. They might have just arrived at the Seely Dimension.

"Did you all just arrive at the Seely Dimension?"

Saturn nodded and said calmly. "How did you know? We indeed just hurried over to the front line from Arcane City…"

"What? You're Spell Casters from Arcane City?"

The five Spell Casters were pleasantly surprised to hear Saturn said that they were sent from Arcane City to the front line.

"We're indeed from Setoh Arcane City!"

Rael also said with a low voice, keeping his sharp eyes on the five Spell Casters.

"Fellow Wizards, please don't misunderstand. We're very happy about your arrival. All the Spell Casters at the Seely Dimension are very happy that you've rushed over. The dimension battle at the front line is very difficult, and we're at a disadvantage in almost every battle for dimensions. The main reason is that there are just too few powerful Wizards. However, Arcane City is a place where geniuses gather, and every Potential Wizard there is outstanding. We've long expected you to come. Haha, now that you're here, our days will be much better."

Each of the five Spell Casters showed smiles on their faces. As the war in the front line broke out too suddenly, the three great Arcane Cities did not mobilize on a large scale. As a result, there were very few strong Spell Casters under Legend.

"You don't have to worry now. The Ultimate Arcane Wizards have already begun to call upon Spell Casters from Arcane City. We're the first to arrive!"

Saturn explained simply to the five.

After chatting for a while, the white-robed Wizard among the five Spell Casters said quietly, "Gentlemen, it's not safe here. Why don't you come back with us to the Spell Caster gathering area? We can take our time making decisions there."

However, Saturn and Rael shook their heads. "We came to the Seely Dimension to find Rock Creatures, and expel all of them from the Seely Dimension as soon as possible. Right, you should have been in the Seely Dimension for a while. Do you know any places nearby where Rock Creatures gather?"

"There are places where the Rock Creatures gather. It's in the Northwest, and you'll reach it in about half a day's journey. It's called Tanloan City, and it's the largest Rock Tribe stronghold in the vicinity. However, there are three powerful Rock Creatures comparable to preeminent Great Wizards in Tanloan City as well as eight comparable to peak Great Wizards, and more than twenty comparable to ordinary Great Wizards.

"Furthermore, the entire Tanloan City has its own defense system unique to the Rock Tribe, making it even harder to breach. There are nearly twenty thousand Rock Creatures living in there. Together, they're a terrifying force!"

The five Spell Casters told Merlin and the others about Tanloan City.

"Three upper rank Rock Creatures comparable to preeminent Great Wizards?"

Saturn, Rael, and the others glanced at each other, and felt their eyes brighten. A defensive power like this really was powerful. In the Seely Dimension, with the Rock Tribe's current strength, no one would be able to go against them.

However, Saturn got more excited the more he thought about it. He was the strongest being below Legends. Even in the chaotic and bloody open territory, strong beings below Legends like Luca and Nestia ran rampant. Apart from freaks like Tuota and Alcra who were comparable to Great Legends, Luca, Nestia, and Saturn were almost the strongest beings.

Therefore, even if it were ten preeminent upper rank Rock Creatures, much less three, Saturn did not care as long as he would not encounter strong Wizards below Legends like Luca.

"Good, we'll go to Tanloan City, and directly destroy the Rock Tribe's stronghold in the Seely Dimension. It's better than going around randomly and ending up not finding any Rock Creatures."

Saturn's eyes swept over Rael and the others.

"I agree. Destroying Tanloan City huh. I believe that'll cause a sensation."

"Haha, once Tanloan City is destroyed, the seven of us will become a thorn in the Rock Tribe's side but isn't that exactly what we want? We'll use the shortest time possible to drive out the Rock Tribe from the Seely Dimension. The Seely Dimension will fall into us Spell Casters' hands!"

The group of seven all agreed to Saturn's plan. Even Merlin did not feel threatened by the three preeminent upper rank Rock Creatures.

Hearing Merlin and the other's relaxed laughter as if they did not care about Tanloan City, the five Spell Casters glanced at each other in surprise but could not help but say, "Fellow Wizards, could our Mystic Squad follow you to Tanloan City?"

"Follow us? Aren't you afraid of danger?"

Saturn seemingly smiled as he looked at the five Spell Casters. Although they called themselves "Mystics", they did not have any mystical powers.

"Haha, although we're weak, we still have three peak Great Wizards. I believe that we'll be able to help a little at that time. If it really fails, we might be able to safely withdraw with us leading."

In reality, the Mystic Squad just wanted to see if the Potential Wizards of Arcane City could really destroy the Rock Tribe's strongest stronghold.

"It'll indeed be more convenient with you around. Since you also want to go, then lead the way. We'll be able to reach Tanloan City quicker."

Saturn hesitated for a moment before finally agreeing to their request.

"Alright, we'll lead the way now!"

The five Spell Casters were all very excited to be able to rush into such a deep place belonging to the Rock Tribe. They had some adventurous spirits, so they naturally were not afraid. Thus, they swiftly brought Merlin and the others and flew to Tanloan City as fast as they could.The spacious plain was full of solid black stones. In the past, this was a vast grassland in the Seely Dimension but now, the grass was no longer there. There were only cold, lifeless rocks.

Somewhere in the plains stood a small city surrounded by tall walls. It looked like an oval ball.

In the sky, there was a gray protective shroud of light, like an eggshell, that hung over the small city. A few powerful Rock Creatures walked in and out of the city.

"There seems to be a fight not far from here. I can still clearly feel loathsome Spell Casters' Elemental fluctuations. Which team is patrolling nearby?"

A Rock Creature glowing with dim light closed its eyes, and asked the Rock Creature in front of it.

"The nearby patrol is Squad Five. They most likely encountered some Spell Casters but with Squad Five's strength, they should have already dealt with those Spell Casters by now."

A tall Rock Creatures replied respectfully.

"Well, let's go. Those Spell Casters have been becoming more active recently. Although those cowardly Spell Casters don't dare to come to Tanloan City, we'll still send out a patrol to be safe!"

"Yes, I'll arrange it immediately!"

Then, the Rock Creature glowing dimly slowly disappeared…"Fellow Wizards, the small city in front is Tanloan City. However, we can't approach any further, otherwise, we'll easily be discovered."

The Mystic Squad brought Saturn and the others to a place not far from Tanloan City.

The two teams stopped, and Saturn and Rael took a closer look at the defense measures around Tanloan City. Wizard Rael's expression gradually became solemn as he said, "These Rock Creatures do know some strange tricks. I won't be able to break such a defensive power in a short amount of time. Saturn, I'll leave this to you instead."

Everyone looked nervously at Saturn. If even Saturn had no way of breaching the Tanloan City's defenses, then coming here was for nothing.

Saturn silently looked at Tanloan City, and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Three tries. It'll only take three tries, then I'll be able to break through Tanloan City's defenses. All of you, prepare yourselves!"

Everyone felt pleased. Saturn then fiercely flew alone to Tanloan City.

Arrot's current expression was rather downcast, and he said to Merlin who was standing beside him, "Merlin, we haven't done anything at all. To be honest, there are not many opportunities for us to make any moves in this team."

Merlin knew that Arrot was referring to how the both of them were just Ninth-level Spell Casters. They would not be able to help much.

However, Merlin laughed as he looked at the distant Tanloan City. "There are twenty thousand Rock Creatures in Tanloan City. Don't worry, we'll definitely have the chance!"

Then, everyone's attention focused on the air. The Elemental fluctuations on Saturn's body were getting more intense!

Chapter 616: Sweep Away II

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The quiet Tanloan City was like before. Many Rock Creatures started to merge inside the rock ley lines, slowly absorbing the strength of the rock ley lines, and increasing their power.

This was how Rock Creatures cultivated. In the end, the power of rock ley lines was limited, so they needed to transform the entire dimension from a dimension full of life and vitality into a cold world of rock. As a result, the power of the rock ley lines would increase greatly, and even if the Rock Creatures slowly absorbed them for tens of thousands of years, it would not dry up the strength of a dimension's rock ley line.

In Tanloan City, almost all the Rock Creatures were preparing to draw upon the power of the rock ley lines in the afternoon. That was the time where the strength of the rock ley line was relatively active, and most suitable for Rock Creatures to cultivate.

"Huh? What's that?"

Suddenly, a few Rock Creatures saw a flame rising from the distance, flying toward Tanloan City at an extremely fast speed. Moreover, the closer the fire, the larger it became. It started off looking like the size of a fist but in the end, it seemed to envelop half of Tanloan City.

"Boom."

The roaring fireball was like a living creature, breathing, absorbing, expanding, and constantly changing. When the fireball hit the protective shroud over Tanloan City, the fireball expanded instantly, and turned into a curtain of flames, crazily attacking Tanloan City.

"Enemy attack!"

"What's going on?"

Many Rock Creatures looked at the flames in the sky nervously. The protective shroud was constantly changing, like water ripples, getting rid of the fireball's violent attacks.

"Swoosh."

Three figures immediately flew out from the main hall of Tanloan City, and stared straight at the sky.

"Rumble."

Many Rock Creatures were still dazed. This was the second attack. However, after this attack, the ripples stirred up over the eggshell protective shroud over Tanloan City grew more intense, and a faint crack spread.

"Not good, Tanloan City's defenses won't hold for much longer. Everyone, get ready. It's those d*mned Spell Casters!"

The three tall Rock Creatures acting as leaders were all powerful upper rank Rock Creatures. The dim lights on their bodies flashed, and their figures became much larger. Moreover, the dim light on their bodies seemed to be glowing with a golden light that was full of power.

"Those d*mned Spell Casters, how do they have the power to attack Tanloan City?"

The three upper ranked Rock Creatures expressed anxiousness. Two attacks on Tanloan City's defenses were enough for it to form cracks, and almost shattered it. Such a power definitely belonged to a preeminent Spell Caster or perhaps even higher!

"Hmph, we have two hundred thousand Rock Creatures. If necessary, we can use the joint attack technique. We won't let a single one of those vile Spell Casters leave alive.

"That's right, we still have the joint attack technique. Haha, those Spell Casters will run with their tails tucked between their legs when they see our joint attack technique."

The three upper ranked Rock Creatures were full of confidence when they mentioned the "joint attack technique", their eyes flashing with madness.

"Break!"

With a cold voice, another fireball instantly burst out. This time, the impact on the protective shroud over Tanloan City was exceedingly great.

"Crack."

The protective shroud produced cracking sounds, just like an eggshell, and instantly shattered. Rolling heat waves swept down, and a few Rock Creatures were burnt to ashes even though only a little Magic Energy was left.

As the dust settled, a thin figure was seen standing on air, his cold eyes staring at all the Rock Creatures in Tanloan City.

"Haha, it really broke. Wizard Saturn, you're amazing!"

Wizard Rael brought over the remaining Wizards, and immediately flew behind Saturn. Looking down at Tanloan City, they instantly saw the three preeminent upper rank Rock Creatures and the eight peak upper rank Rock Creatures. Behind them were more than twenty upper rank Rock Creatures as well.

With such a large force, it was not surprising that the Spell Caster teams in the Seely Dimension did not dare to provoke them.

"Remember, we're from Setoh Arcane City!"

Saturn's eyes directly locked on the three preeminent upper rank Rock Creatures. They immediately felt a dangerous terror.

"How is he so strong?"

The three preeminent upper rank Rock Creatures were shocked but before they could make any moves, Saturn acted first, and a fiery red light flashed on his body. A powerful pressure, seemingly from all directions, suppressed the three preeminent upper rank Rock Creatures.

"Have a taste of a Six-Elemental combined spell!"

Saturn revealed a cold smile from the corners of his mouth. Then, a multicolored light appeared in his hand, flashing with frightening Magic Power fluctuations. It was fused by Six-Elemental spells.

The multicolored light turned into a giant net and blanketed the three preeminent upper rank Rock Tribe. This was a peculiar fused spell used by Great Wizards that could change countless times. It could transform into various forms, making it impossible to defend against effectively.

Furthermore, the more a spell is fused, the more varied the final form of the fused spell. It would also imperceptibly increase the power of Five-Elemental and Six-Elemental Great Wizards.

Saturn obviously had suppressed the three preeminent upper rank Rock Creatures, who were immediately put in a disadvantageous position. Moreover, they were surrounded by perils and were in danger. Their gap from Saturn was too obvious.

As for the eight peak upper rank Rock Creatures, Rael could not help but rush in and trap them all with a spell.

For the remaining twenty or so Rock Creatures, around a dozen were captured by Vic and Seddon. The most powerful forces in Tanloan City were almost completely suppressed by Saturn and four others.

However, there were still a few upper rank Rock Creatures that escaped, and rushed directly toward Arrot and Merlin. Instead of being surprised, Arrot rejoiced and said, "Wizard Merlin, get ready. These are upper rank Rock Creatures, comparable to a regular Great Wizard. Haha, we can finally stop just standing by the sidelines."

Arrot looked very excited. Two upper rank Rock Creatures broke free from Vic and the others' binds, and once again moved toward Arrot and Merlin.

Although Wizard Arrot believed that he could go against one upper rank Rock Creature, he immediately felt some pressure since there were three.

"Wizard Merlin, I'll pin down two upper rank Rock Creatures, and you'll handle the last one, alright?"

Arrot's tone was dignified. Although he was also a Ninth-level Spell Caster, he had already combined Three-Elemental Spell Models, and was not an ordinary Ninth-level Spell Caster. He could be considered to be almost a Great Wizard already.

Merlin only smiled, and raised a white palm, revealing a strange blood-red eye in the middle of his palm.

"Darkness Demon Spirit, appear!"

"Hum."

From the boundless darkness manifested a terrifying and rampaging Darkness Spirit. Crimson light stretched out of the darkness, and it stepped in front of Arrot, and threw a fist.

"Bang."

The power of the Darkness Demon Spirit was comparable to a peak Great Wizard. Furthermore, it was a strength-type and could compete with the powerful Giant Tribe. Its strength was no inferior to peak upper rank Giants, much less three ordinary upper rank Rock Creatures.

As a result, it only took one blow from the Darkness Demon Spirit to crush the three upper rank Rock Creatures, leaving scattered debris all over the ground.

"Oh? Wizard Merlin… So, you also have the strength of a peak Great Wizard. You hid it quite well. However, I heard that the sixth form of Darkness Eye carries hidden dangers. You…"

Arrot looked at Merlin with astonishment. He naturally recognized Darkness Eye but he had not expected Merlin to have cultivated Darkness Eye to its sixth form.

However, considering the hidden dangers of Darkness Eye, Arrot was full of worries.

"It's of no matter. I've already resolved Darkness Eye's hidden danger. The Legend of Darkness can no longer control me!"

Merlin explained succinctly.

However, Arrot revealed a bitter smile. "I thought that in this team, you and I were the weakest, not even reaching Great Wizards. However, I never expected that you're already comparable to a peak Great Wizard. Amazing. Truly amazing!"

Merlin smiled and said, "You're not bad yourself. In a while, you'll combine Four-Elementals spells and become a Great Wizard. With what you've accumulated, you'll become a peak Great Wizard in one shot!"

Then, Merlin controlled the Darkness Demon Spirit, and rushed toward the ordinary Rock Creatures in Tanloan City. With the power gap, each punch from the Darkness Demon Spirit could smash dozens of Rock Creatures. Although the Darkness Demon Spirit was surrounded by countless Rock Creatures, they were of no threat to it at all.

On the contrary, the Darkness Demon Spirit had a great momentum!

"Bang."

Saturn cast a multicolored spell that trapped one of the preeminent upper rank Rock Creatures. The spell exploded, and immediately, the preeminent upper rank Rock Creature's solid body was blown into numerous tiny pieces of gravel.

A preeminent upper rank Rock Creature had died!

"Anmoloch! D*mn it, you've killed Anmoloch. All you foolish Spell Casters are going to die… Stop hesitating, Rock Creatures, we respectfully request the Progenitor's Body!"

After Saturn had killed a preeminent upper rank Rock Creature, the remaining two finally decided to use their most powerful move.

"We respectfully request the Progenitor's Body!"

In Tanloan City, the remaining ten thousand Rock Creatures that the Darkness Demon Spirit had not killed yet roared out loud together when they heard the cry of the two preeminent upper rank Rock Creatures.

"Boom."

Countless Rock Creatures began to merge one after another as if a world-shaking power was awakening. Countless Rock Creatures fused together, and soon formed a hundred-meter tall Giant Rock Creature dark as ink.

"The Rock Tribe's joint attack technique. I didn't expect that the Rock Creatures in the Seely Dimension would have been taught such a secret technique. However, so what if you have the Progenitor's Body?"

Looking at the terrifying Giant Rock Creature in the sky, the aura on Saturn's body increased again. The Elements shook violently as they flew to the air, confronting the Progenitor's Body formed by the Rock Creatures.

The two sides were preparing their strongest attack!
