Chapter 744: Abyssal Demon Lord
On the peak of the Heavenly Pillar Mountain, Yang Ling, who was sitting on the Great Wizard Altar, was unmoving. His fingers moved to form a mysterious and profound Wizard Seal, trying his best to combine with the immense energy of the Five-clawed Golden Dragon. Tendrils of the Spiritual Energy of Heaven and Earth seeped into his body, waves of Life Force surged over him, and the flourishing Faith Power seeped into him from every pore of his body… In the sky above the peak of the Heavenly Pillar Mountain, a majestic energy whirlpool form, extracting all energy within a ten-thousand-mile radius!
While combining with the Soul Essence of the Five-clawed Golden Dragon, Yang Ling, who was silently chanting the Skyreach Wizard Mantra, absorbed huge amounts of energy from the outside. Once again, his physical body underwent tumultuous strengthening, and his soul once again welcomed a new transformation…
Slowly, a Five-clawed Golden Dragon with its teeth bared and claws out appeared on Yang Ling’s chest, the tattoo vaguely faint. Wave after wave of low and deep sounding roars floated in the wind, spreading to all corners of the Giant Dragon Valley and spreading throughout the entire Chaos Dimension. Tendrils of obscured but ferocious energy rippled, causing even Ultimate Experts who had been training for hundreds of thousands or even millions of years to jump out of their skin. They would feel a surge of incomparable oppression and an unprecedented sense of danger!
In the Chaos Dimension where the Heavenly Pillar Mountain was situated, obscured energy ripples hung over every Expert’s head like a sharp long sword, the oppressive feeling unable to be shaken. At the same time, tumultuous change was also happening within the Wizard Pagoda’s Space.
After absorbing the Soul Essences of the primitive beasts, the Golden Roc, Mother Empress and the Great Black-horned Demon isolated themselves within the Wizard Pagoda’s Space to practice cultivation and casted the Soul Tampering Wizard Technique to combine with the immense energy of the primitive beasts. Wave after wave of low and powerful roars spread far and wide, spreading throughout every corner of the entire Wizard Pagoda’s Space, accompanied by wave after wave of the aura of the bloodthirsty and vicious primitive beasts.
The whole Wizard Pagoda’s Space from Divine-level Experts at the top to ordinary people without any magic or Battle Energy, all felt an unprecedented sense of oppression! The more powerful one was, the more they could feel it. No matter how powerful the Expert or the Magical Beast, no one could contend against this unmatched sense of oppression. The Wizard’s Pagoda suddenly started emitting clouds of white fog, encompassing the entire Holy City and then slowly spreading to the entire Wizard Pagoda’s Space!
One year!
The abnormal situation almost lasted for an entire year!
Within this year, the faithful devotees all unwittingly absorbed the light white fog, lengthening their lifespan. They discovered that unknowingly, they actually seemed to become a few years younger. Within this year, the people were also astonished to discover that their rate of practicing cultivation was even increased by ten times. In that short year, the number of Magical Beasts and human Experts who were able to break through the Divine Level were more than that of the total number of people achieving that over the past hundred years!
God was looking after them!
This year, known as the year of God’s Grace, was considered to be the year where the Great Soul Wizard, Yang Ling, performed the most miracles. The white fog that was spread throughout the Wizard Pagoda’s Space was of great benefit to the devotees. The more devoted a follower was, the more benefits they would reap.
…
Within this year, people like the Golden Roc, Mother Empress and the Dark Dragon King all successfully combined with the Soul Essences of the primitive beasts they had swallowed, improving greatly in power. A tattoo of a green dragon with its teeth bared and claws out appeared between the brows of the Golden Roc, and twelve pairs of wings appeared behind his back, causing him to level up to become the Twelve-winged Golden Roc King, a legendary figure in the Golden Roc Tribe. On the Mother Empress’ forehead appeared a Flame Phoenix that was being reborn in flames…
…
After an unknown amount of time had passed, Yang Ling, who had been quietly practicing cultivation, opened his eyes slowly. A snake-shaped lightning bolt shot out of nowhere, piercing through the sky with a “zap” sound, tearing open a giant Space Crack. Just with his willpower alone, he could kill a Divine-level Expert in one second!
Mid-level Wizard Deity. Was he just one tiny step away from advancing to a High-level Wizard Deity?
Focusing on feeling the changes in his body, Yang Ling was overjoyed. At first, he had thought that if he could break through to become a Mid-level Wizard Deity after combining with the Soul Essence of the Five-clawed Golden Dragon, that would be good enough. Unexpectedly, he had almost advanced in level twice, just a hair away from crossing over directly to a High-level Wizard Deity.
“Good, this is just great!” Feeling the immense energy within his body, Yang Ling nodded his head in satisfaction. With a “whoosh” sound, he disappeared into thin air, teleporting to the Wizard Pagoda’s Space to find out what had happened to the many powerful Magical Beasts after combining with the Soul Essences of the primitive beasts.
“My lord!”
“My lord, Wandering Divine Beast, I’ve finally levelled up!”
…
After feeling Yang Ling’s presence, the powerful Magical Beasts came rushing from all over without Yang Ling needing to summon them. Every one of them was excited beyond words.
“Hehe, my lord, this time round, a total of 27 powerful Magical Beasts have advanced to the level of Wandering Divine Beasts!” The Corpse Wizard King was full of smiles, introducing the Magical Beasts that had advanced one by one. This time around, apart from the Tarantula King who had only advanced to the peak level of a Divine Duty Expert, the other Magical Beasts had all successfully advanced to the next level. The Dark Dragon King, Flying Dragon King, Unicorn… Even the Purple Rat, Bing Bing and Thousand-faced Mink had also successfully advanced to the next level. The four main generals that Yang Ling had especially taken care of, the Golden Roc, Mother Empress, the Poison Dragon and the Great Black-horned Demon, had an explosive growth of power!
After combining with the immense energy of the Soul Essence of the primitive beasts, many main powered Magical Beasts welcomed an unprecedented transformation!
With 27 Wandering Divine Beasts, five tiger generals, Grand Wizard Houtu and Yang Ling, the Magical Beasts Divine Branch now more or less had 34 real Experts. They were extremely powerful and were enough to build the preliminary foundations of the Wandering Army. Not to mention conquering the various Main Dimensions, this would at least make the Magical Beasts Divine Branch become the top Divine Branch amongst the various Main Dimensions!
The dominating Magical Beasts Army’s power grew in leaps and bounds. To the Corpse Wizard King, the Chief Commander of the Magical Beasts, this made him more ecstatic than when he had mastered the Gifted Ability from the previous generation of Hades!
“Rodriguez, go and test them on how their abilities are after leveling up!” Looking at the ecstatic group made up of the Golden Roc, the Dark Dragon King and the Flying Dragon King, and looking again at the ecstatic Corpse Wizard King, Yang Ling smiled.
“Hehe, good, let me see what capabilities you guys have actually learned!” The Corpse Wizard King cackled loudly, flying out with a “whoosh” sound. He was more enthusiastic than anyone.
Over the past year, the many powerful Magical Beasts all leveled up after combining with the Soul Essence of the primitive beasts and inherited the Gifted Ability of the primitive beasts. Although the Corpse Wizard King had not combined with the Soul Essence of the primitive beasts, over the past year, he successfully mastered the Gifted Ability passed down from the previous generation of Hades. His power had also increased by leaps and bounds!
“Howl… Rodriguez, have a taste of my Gifted Ability that I just mastered!”
The Golden Roc went into battle first, giving out a loud roar, flying straight up into the air and transforming into his true form. With a “whoosh,” he dived straight down, attacking the fully armored and ready Corpse Wizard King. While speaking, he cast the Gifted Ability that he mastered after combining with the Soul Essence of the Green Dragon.
In that instant, with the Corpse Wizard King as the center, the air within the radius of a thousand steps twisted and became warped in shape like a mirror that had been broken into pieces. It refracted ray after ray of bright light rays, tearing open Space Crack after Space Crack and continuously giving off a “buzz” sound. The expressions of the surrounding audience changed, and the first to bear the brunt of the attack, the Corpse Wizard King, felt a jolt go through his entire body at facing a great enemy. He felt the surroundings become warped and twisted all of the sudden, and he even felt that time froze in that instant. Just taking a few looks made his head heavy and dizzy as if he were being attacked by an invisible force!
Confusion of Space and Time!
After combining the Soul Essence of the primitive beasts that the Golden Roc had transformed for almost a full year, he finally mastered the Gifted Ability of the Green Dragon Tribe—Confusion of Space and Time!
Confusion of Space and Time, like its namesake, relied on immense power to cast the Gifted Ability to cause a scene of chaos. It made the enemy confused about time and space, greatly reducing the enemy’s power and speed of reaction. After combining with the Soul Essence of the Green Dragon, the Golden Roc’s body had also strengthened to an astonishing level. As long as the enemy fell for the spell, he could then pounce on the enemy and simply rip them to shreds!
As the Twelve-winged Golden Roc King, with the addition of the Green Dragon’s Gifted Ability, caused the Golden Roc’s power to reach an astonishing stage!
“‘Hell’s Tooth!”
With a raise of an eyebrow, the Corpse Wizard King cast the just mastered Gifted Ability of Hades without missing a beat. With a “whoosh” sound, the long black spear in his hand flew out, aiming for the Golden Roc’s head at lightning speed while spinning and increasing in speed. Every time it moved forward, its speed doubled. In the blink of an eye, its speed reached terrifying levels, and it was accompanied with a gust of bone-chilling energy!
Whoosh…
The Golden Roc accelerated and dived downwards, while the Corpse Wizard King shot upwards to meet him, a pin against an awn, neither one backing off. It was as if Mars was going to collide against the Earth. Seeing that the two of them were about to clash with each other, everyone was on the edge of their seats and looked without blinking, not even daring to let out a sigh. They were unwilling to miss the great battle between the two great Experts, and at the same time, they were worried about the Corpse Wizard King and the Golden Roc!
The attack power of the two of them was simple too terrifying. If anyone was not paying attention, one party might seriously get hurt, or both of them could end up with serious injuries!
Everyone outside of the battle was extremely nervous. The Golden Roc and Corpse Wizard King were also extremely anxious. The Golden Roc had just mastered Confusion of Time and Space, and the Corpse Wizard King had also just mastered Hell’s Tooth, which had astonishing power. Both of them were still able to cast and cancel the spell with ease! The killing spells could be forcibly stopped, but they were unable to reduce their speed in that instant and could not avoid the other!
The speed that exploded from the two of them in that instant was simply too fast!
“Heaven and Earth Cage!”
Just as the Golden Roc cried out and they were about to end in serious injuries on both ends, Yang Ling, who was watching calmly by the side, acted decisively, his hand forming the Wizard Seal to cast the ultimate skill he had acquired after advancing to a Mid-level Wizard Deity. Compared to the Great Wizard Universe, the Heaven and Earth Cage could not only restrain a large group of enemies in an instant, it could also concentrate its energy to restrain a certain enemy. Its restraining ability was stronger by almost a hundred times. In an instant, one only saw clouds of dark gas suddenly appearing out of thin air, tightly wrapping around the Golden Roc and the Corpse Wizard King like a spider web. It went around and around, greatly reducing the two people’s speed.
Bang…
The Corpse Wizard King and the Golden Roc smashed into each other ruthlessly, letting out a dull thud. In that instant, they were in so much pain that they could only suck in cold breaths. Thankfully with Yang Ling’s restraint, their speed had been reduced by more than half, or else, it would not be as simple as just being in pain from smashing into each other.
“Thank you my lord!” Just as Yang Ling removed the restraints, the Corpse Wizard King and the Golden Roc flew to the ground. After meeting each other’s eyes, both of them raised their arms at the same time to wipe the cold sweat off their foreheads.
“The power is not bad, but unfortunately, your mastery of it is too poor!” Yang Ling shook his head. He was just thinking of calling the rest of them, including the Mother Empress and the Poison Dragon to come forward and show off the Gifted Ability they had just mastered one by one when an immense and ferocious energy ripple came from the outside of the Wizard Pagoda’s Space. It was accompanied by a strong sense of oppression that was suffocating.
The Abyssal Demon Lord?
Yang Ling had a sudden thought, and with his fingers making a Wizard Seal, he teleported everyone out together with him. Even after so many years had passed, he was still unable to forget the aura of the Abyssal Demon Lord and the horrifying scene from before.
