A Sorcerer’s Journey
Chapter 1040 - 1032: Shocking Upheaval!
Three years later.
The day when the Seven Rings True Spirit Wizard from the Ancient Dragon Great World will open the World Gate through the soul sacrifice using the True Scripture of Flame Soul is drawing nearer, so many Stigmata Sorcerers in Netherfire World are not taking on tasks, quietly waiting.
Under the introduction of the Old Sorcerer Welid, Green was fully immersing himself in completing the growth plan of the Infernal Soul Myriad-Heads Bird, striving to advance to Level Five as soon as possible.
Lulianmian and Sachy, two trusted wizards, were dispatched by Green to the Wizard World for trading, while Green remained in Netherfire World, working hard to facilitate a trade with the District 77 Nether Soul Stigmata Sorcerer in the South Continent.
"So, have you decided on the conditions?"
The Nether Soul Stigmata Sorcerer possessed an extremely important artifact that could effectively aid the growth of the Enigmatic Curved-Head Bird— the Heart of Ketami!
This Ketami was a famous Stigmata Dark Sorcerer in the Wizard World, with remarkable achievements in the field of Synthetic Beasts and profound attainment in the study of artificial life.
Similar to life in the Corpse Synthesis Array like the Infernal Soul Myriad-Heads Bird, Ketami created two in his lifetime, standing side by side in the field of Synthetic Beasts with the Old Dark Sorcerer who created Black Demon Blood.
However, this powerful Dark Sorcerer gradually declined and headed toward death after suffering dozens of severe soul injuries, and in the last period before his soul dissipated, he chose to merge himself into the Corpse Synthesis Array...
This is a mainstream legend of the Wizard Continent, but through the Old Sorcerer Welid, Green actually heard that the heart of this powerful Dark Sorcerer, after death, merged into the Corpse Synthesis Array, is in the hands of this Level Five Nether Soul Stigmata Sorcerer. Unbelievable, he immediately requested a meeting and personally identified this Heart of Ketami.
Indeed, it was a treasure that could bring extraordinary efficacy to the growth of Synthetic Beasts!
Now, under decades of dedicated cultivation at any cost, Green’s Infernal Soul Bird Head had grown to two hundred and thirty-eight heads, just eighteen heads short of assisting Green in completing the structural transformation of the Stone of Original Sin for the Annihilation Force, leaping to become a Level Five Stigmata Sorcerer.
Originally, according to Green’s old estimates, even with the success of trades by Sachy and Lulianmian, the efficacy of those two items would still leave something to be desired to grow the Infernal Soul Myriad-Heads Bird to two hundred and fifty-six heads, but if it was the Heart of Ketami...
"Hehehe, I tell you, my master must obtain that heart, take a look at this."
With the words of Xiao Ba on Green’s shoulder, Green opened his palm, and the Taro Man compressed by the space cage appeared. After Green removed the restraints, the body of the Taro Man rapidly expanded, standing nearly two meters tall, with a curious look at the surroundings, standing motionless beside Green.
"This... this is..."
The Nether Soul Stigmata Sorcerer’s pupils contracted, staring intently at this Taro Man for a long moment, finally determining the origin of this World Master.
"A World Master-level Soul Slave!?"
Under the Face of Truth, Green smiled confidently, his voice low and hoarse: "That’s right! This is an unexpected acquisition I got from a Demon Hunting Expedition, even among the Fourth-Level World Lords, this Taro Man is by no means weak. I believe whether used for research or as a clone assistant, it will greatly benefit you. Besides those Guardians created by True Spirit Wizards in the Wizard World, how many have such World Master slaves?"
The Taro Man, long used to guard the Abyss Laboratory, had to be used up by Green in order to survive through the war and maximize his strength during the Civilization War. Although extremely reluctant, he still chose to use it for trading.
Sure enough, this time the Nether Soul Stigmata Sorcerer fell silent.
The black smoke-like beard, seeming to possess the will of thought, was being stroked back and forth between the pale, withered, and slender fingers of the Nether Soul Stigmata Sorcerer. The black cloak was inlaid with an eerie green gem, like a cat’s eye in the night, gloomy and ominous.
After a while, the old wizard gritted his teeth and said, "Alright, deal!"
At this time, the two were meeting in an icy sea area between the Northern Continent and South Continent. The floating Netherfire Wraiths were quite strong; some had already advanced to First-Level beings, like clouds, passing through snowy mountain grounds without form or substance.
However, at the moment the Nether Soul Stigmata Sorcerer took out the Heart of Ketami, it was as if a strong black hole appeared, and the flying Netherfire Wraiths within hundreds of meters screamed and were absorbed by this black hole; the heart was thumping incessantly, and the dense power of human despair spread, causing a chill at the bottom of Green’s heart.
Green’s outstretched hand remained suspended in mid-air.
"What an intoxicating will fluctuation, even though the soul has dispersed for so many years, the remaining trace of will is so icy. If it wasn’t for the Black Sorcerer King absorbing all the power of human despair of the Stigmata Dark Sorcerers in the Dark Domain, perhaps Ketami would have already advanced to Black Domain True Spirit Wizard, what a pity..."
The Nether Soul Stigmata Sorcerer reached out with the hand holding the "thumping" heart.
"Don’t forget to expel the power of human despair within, otherwise, upon touching the Holy Tower Rules, you’ll fall into becoming a Dark Sorcerer. Also, the deeply rooted will fragment inside can be cleansed with time-related treasures or destroyed by finding stronger will."
Green exhaled a Stigmata Soul Flame, this trade carried significant risk. If someone used this flame as life information to curse Green, it would be catastrophic.
Therefore, Green specially prepared some Destiny Contracts, requesting the Nether Soul Stigmata Sorcerer to thoroughly destroy Green’s life information after the transfer of the Taro Man’s original soul enslavement.
Oblivion Tower Grimm and the Nether Soul Stigmata Sorcerer, both received what they were satisfied with.
The Taro Man clutched his head desperately, twitching and convulsing, looking as if in excruciating pain.
"Wuwuwu, little Taro, you follow him for now, rest assured, once Master Eight gains the ability in the future, I’ll definitely redeem you. Right now, everything is for the better evolution of Green Beast, sorry for your sacrifice, go in peace."
Xiao Ba waved his wings, looking reluctant to part, though it was obviously its idea in the first place.
"Hahaha, Oblivion Tower, a pleasure doing business!"
Under the urging of the Nether Soul Stigmata Sorcerer, the Taro Man kept expanding, transforming into a towering phenomenal entity nearly a thousand meters tall. The old wizard sat on a vine leaf and pleasantly flew towards the South Continent.
Meanwhile, a black flame flickered from Green’s pinky, and the Infernal Soul Myriad-Heads Bird, several hundred meters long, spread its wings, carrying Xiao Ba and Green swiftly towards the Northern Continent.
A few days later.
The seven blood-red moons were already visible, and there was still some distance to the Fortress Base when Green’s crystal ball received an urgent communication request from Arc Thundercloud.
"Oblivion Tower, something happened, emergency assembly!"
The panic in Arc Thundercloud’s expression made Green’s face serious. As the time nearing to open the World Gate with the True Scripture of Flame Soul approached, Green had already felt the unease in his heart, the more afraid of trouble, the more it comes.
"What is it?"
Green tried hard to make his voice sound calm, speaking lowly.
"One and a half hourglasses ago, the force of spacetime in Netherfire World was completely isolated."
Under the Face of Truth, Green’s Three-Colored Light Eyes contracted!
"Could it be the special rules of this world?"
Rumble, rumble...
The oppressive feeling in the chest was immense, almost unable to breathe. The crystal ball in Green’s hand shattered with a "bang," and accompanying a shrill cry, a part of the Infernal Soul Myriad-Heads Bird’s enormous figure collapsed suddenly, leaving Green and Xiao Ba dumbstruck, gazing up at the distant sky.
The overwhelming pressure spreading from Eastern Continent Zone Six...(To be continued. If you enjoy this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets at Qidian (qidian.com). Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please read on m.qidian.com.)
